The Company serves as investment adviser to USGIF and receives a fee based on a specified percentage of average assets under management. The advisory agreement for the equity funds within USGIF provides for a base advisory fee that is adjusted upwards or downwards by 0.25 percent when there is a performance difference of 5 percent or more between a fund’s performance and that of its designated benchmark index over the prior rolling 12 months. The Company has agreed to contractually limit the expenses of the Near-Term Tax Free Fund through April 2021. The Company has voluntarily waived or reduced its fees and/or agreed to pay expenses on the remaining USGIF funds. These caps will continue on a voluntary basis at the Company’s discretion. The aggregate fees waived and expenses borne by the Company for USGIF for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, were $141,000 and $407,000, respectively, compared with $164,000 and $541,000, respectively, for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Management cannot predict the impact of future waivers due the number of variables and the range of potential outcomes. The Company receives administrative service fees from USGIF based on the average daily net assets at an annual rate 0.05 percent per investor class and 0.04 percent per institutional class of each fund. The institutional classes closed in June 2019. The Company also serves as investment advisor to two exchange-traded funds (ETFs): U.S. Global Jets ETF (ticker JETS) and U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (ticker GOAU). The Company receives a unitary management fee of 0.60 percent of average net assets and has agreed to bear all expenses of the ETFs. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $264,000 in receivables from fund clients, of which $167,000 was from USGIF and $97,000 from ETFs. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $201,000 in receivables from fund clients, of which $159,000 was from USGIF and $42,000 from ETFs.
