Cash Management
Uninvested client cash is swept each business day to Federated Hermes Government Obligations Fund, government money market mutual fund offered by Federated Hermes. (Ticker: GOIXX) (the “Federated Fund”). Funds deposited in your account after a cutoff time, which will ordinarily be 2:30 PM Eastern Time, will be swept to the Federated Fund on the next business day. Adelphi Trust may adjust the cutoff time in its sole discretion from time to time.
The Federated Hermes Government Obligations Fund is a money market mutual fund seeking to provide current income consistent with stability of principal by investing in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less and repurchase agreements collateralized fully by U.S. Treasury and government securities. Investments in the Federated Fund are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or by any other government agency. The Federated Fund does seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, but the value of the investment is not guaranteed.
The information provided herein regarding the Federated Fund is excerpted from the Federated Fund prospectus and is qualified in its entirety by the prospectus itself. The prospectus and related information for the Federated Fund is available at https://www.federatedinvestors.com/ products/mutual-funds/govt-obligations/is.do
Adelphi reserves the right to change the uninvested cash sweep fund based upon market conditions.
Investments
Investment products and services are not obligations of or guaranteed by Adelphi, are not insured by the FDIC, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. Please see the Adelphi Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for specific investment allocation information regarding your account.
Mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other investment products may be subject to additional fees and expenses as charged by the funds or products. Mutual fund fees are described in the mutual fund prospectus. Such fees are expenses of the mutual funds and are reflected in the investment returns which are quoted net of all expenses. Mutual fund prospectuses are available upon request.
If you have any questions regarding the mutual funds or other investment products held in your account, please contact Adelphi.
Rule 12b-1 Fees
A portion of the commissions or fees charged by the fund management companies or their affiliates may be paid to Adelphi for administrative services. Such payments are governed by Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Generally, the fees (known as “12b1 fees”) are less than 1.00% of the average annual share value of the fund shares. When 12b-1 fees arise from mutual fund assets held in accounts in which Adelphi Trust has discretionary authority we will provide a fee offset in an amount approximately equivalent to the 12b-1 fees received. This fee off set will be applied to our account fees and will show on the account statement. When 12b-1 fees arise from assets held in the subaccounts of annuities, life insurance policies or other similar products, they may be retained or credited to us or our providers. In these cases, the fee offset will not be applied to the account fees. Additional information concerning the calculation of 12b-1 fees is set forth in any fund’s prospectus relating to the mutual fund and is available upon request.

Adelphi Trust utilizes a third party that specializes in class action settlements to seek recovery in class action lawsuits involving assets that have been previously or are currently held in the account. The third party receives a percentage of the recovery, if any, as its fee for the service provided.
