Henry James International Management, Inc.
Client Relationship Summary (Form CRS)
Introduction
Henry James International Management, Inc. (“our firm”, “we”, “us”) is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. We are not registered as a broker-dealer.
Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ and it’s important for you, the retail investor, to understand the differences.
Please note that free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.
What investment services and advice can you provide me?
We offer investment advisory services on a discretionary basis to retail investors through the following vehicles: Separately Managed Accounts, Wrap Programs, and Model Programs.
Authority: when you establish a relationship with us to invest your assets, you give us discretionary authority to make the following decisions without your prior consent: which securities to buy or sell, the total amount of securities to buy or sell and the prices at which the securities are to be bought or sold. Depending on investment platform you choose, we may also decide the broker-dealer through whom securities are bought or sold. We also provide advice within multi-manager wealth management programs (typically referred to as “Wrap Programs”) offered by broker-dealers, banks, and investment advisers (the “sponsors”), and we participate in model programs (“Model Programs”), sometimes referred to as UMA Programs, where we furnish non-discretionary investment advice and recommendations to the Model Program sponsor by delivering a model securities portfolio to the sponsor. The Model Program sponsor exercises investment discretion and typically executes the securities transactions for the underlying clients.
Monitoring: We monitor the investments we make or recommend for your account. We maintain a model portfolio for each of our investment strategies and one of our portfolio managers reviews your account on an ongoing basis to ensure it adheres to the model portfolio for its investment strategy, subject to your investment guidelines and restrictions. Monitoring is part of our standard services at no additional cost.
Limitations: Our investment advice generally is limited to international equity (“stocks”) strategies. We require a minimum initial investment $50,000 to establish an account. The minimum initial investment amount is also subject to the platform through which you open an account. Minimums may be waived at our discretion.
Additional information about our advisory services is in the Advisory Business and Types of Clients sections of our Part 2 Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/169293.
Questions to ask us:
➢ Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
➢ How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
➢ What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
Principal Fees: You will pay a fee based on a fixed percentage of the value of your total assets managed by our firm. The more assets there are in your account, the more you will pay in fees. Our firm has an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your account. Asset based fees associated with Wrap Programs and Model Programs include most transaction costs, and fees to the broker-dealer or bank that has custody of these assets, and therefore are higher than a typical asset-based advisory fee.

Other Fees and Costs: Depending on the investment program you choose, you pay additional fees and costs such as custodian, transaction and/or account maintenance fees.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.
Additional Information about our fees is in the Fees and Compensation section of our Part 2 Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/169293.
Questions to ask us:
➢ Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. Here is an example to help you understand what this means:
There is an incentive for us to favor accounts that pay a performance-based fee because this could result in higher fees received by us.
Additional information about our conflicts is in our Part 2 Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/169293.
Questions to ask us:
➢ How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
How do your financial professionals make money?
Our portfolio managers are paid a fixed base salary and an annual performance-based cash bonus. Compensation is not based on the results of the associated client accounts.
