## Annual Fund Operating Expenses
- 55 bps (0.55%) on common (purchased) shares; 110 bps (1.10%) on tracking (allocated) shares
- Blended annual fund operating expense typically estimated in the 55-80 bps range depending on the participant's share mix
- All Savvly return and payout illustrations are NET of Savvly's annual fund operating expenses

## How the Longevity Pool Works
When investors exit the pool before reaching a payout milestone, their unused share may be allocated to remaining investors, potentially increasing the returns available for those who stay. This mechanism creates an additional return above pure market performance — similar in concept to mortality credits in longevity-risk pooling arrangements, but structured as an SEC-registered fund.
