This applies the entered annual rate to the initial subscription for five years. Management fees are usually deducted from fund NAV, so the cash budget does not add them a second time. Actual charging methods and fund documents control; performance fees, carry, tax, liquidity, FX, and losses are not modeled.

Two-year permit cycle

The initial temporary ARI is valid for two years and Article 90-A provides two-year renewals. Year 2 and Year 4 therefore model the first five years after card issuance. Processing time is case-dependent and is not added to this total.
