Symphony Financial Partners (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“we”, “us”) is a private limited company that was
incorporated under the laws of Singapore on 5 February 2013. We only have one office, which is located
in Singapore. We are wholly owned by SFP Value Realization Co., Ltd. (“Symphony Cayman”), a
Cayman Islands exempted company, which, in turn, is owned by David Baran and Kazuhiko Shibata
and certain key employees of the Symphony group.
We hold a Capital Markets Services License for fund management with the Monetary Authority of
Singapore. We are registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”).
We provide discretionary investment management advice to two master feeder fund structures
(“Funds”) and separately managed accounts (“Managed Accounts”), as well as a fund of one (the “Fund
of One”) discussed below. We refer to the Funds, Managed Accounts, and Fund of One collectively as
“clients”.
A. The Funds
We advise The SFP Value Realization Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company. This
master fund has two feeder funds, The SFP Value Realization Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted
company, and The SFP Value Realization Fund L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership, that invest
their assets into this master fund.
We advise the Sinfonietta Master Fund, a Cayman Islands exempted company, into which one feeder
fund, Sinfonietta, a Cayman Islands exempted company invest their assets.
We advise GZ-1 (the “Fund of One”), a series trust of DUET, a Cayman Islands exempted umbrella unit
trust.
Each of The SFP Value Realization Fund Ltd. and Sinfonietta is an “Offshore Fund” (collectively, the
“Offshore Funds”). The SFP Value Realization Fund L.P. is a “Domestic Fund”.
The SFP Value Realization General Partner Co., Ltd. serves as the general partner of The SFP Value
Realization Fund L.P. (the “General Partner”).
Symphony Cayman provides facilities to the General Partner and us. It serves as the manager of the Funds
and, together with the Funds, appointed us to act as investment adviser with respect to the Funds.
An affiliated company and a related person, Symphony Financial Partners Co., Ltd. (“Symphony Japan”),
provides investment advice to us with respect to our clients, but has no discretionary authority over our
clients. Symphony Japan is registered as an investment adviser with the Financial Services Agency in
Japan.
The General Partner, not us, has discretionary authority over the assets of the Domestic Fund.

Investment Company Act of 1940 (“IC Act”), or non-“U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S under

such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of a confidential private placement memorandum.
B. Managed Accounts
We also serve as the investment adviser with discretionary trading authority over Managed Accounts.
C. Investment Strategies and Types of Investments
Our investment decisions and advice with respect to each Fund and the Fund of One will be subject to
each Fund’s and Fund of One’s investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in its respective
offering documents, and for Managed Accounts, the investment objectives and restrictions stated in the
investment management agreement (“IMA”). Please see Item 8 for a description of the investment
strategies we employ.
The descriptions in this Brochure of advisory services that we offer to our clients and investment
strategies pursued and investments made by us on behalf of our clients, should not be understood to
limit in any way our investment activities. We may offer any advisory services, engage in any
investment strategy and make any investment, including any not described in this Brochure, that we
consider appropriate, subject to each client’s investment objectives and guidelines. The investment
strategies we pursue are speculative and entail substantial risks. Clients should be prepared to bear a
substantial loss of capital. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of any client would
be achieved.
D. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients
Our investment decisions and advice with respect to each Fund and the Fund of One will be subject to
the investment objective, guidelines and restrictions, as set forth in its respective offering documents.
Similarly, our investment decisions and advice with respect to each Managed Account are subject to
the investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions, as set forth in the IMA, as well as any written
instructions the client gives us.
In our role as investment adviser to the Funds we have in the past and may from time to time in the
future agree to supplements, clarifications or variations of the terms of a Fund’s offering, subscription
or organizational documents in “side letters” or similar agreements. With respect to the Fund for which
a General Partner serves as the general partner of the Fund, the General Partner has in the past and may
continue in the future agree to such side letters or similar arrangements. If it is determined that any side
letters or agreements represent a variation that would be material to other investors in a Fund, we would
disclose such variations to the other investors in the Fund. All “side letter” agreements must be agreed
and approved by the directors of the Funds or the General Partner.
We do not currently participate in any Wrap Fee Programs.
As of 31st December 2023, we managed on a discretionary basis approximately $1.22 billion of client
assets. (This calculation is based on the aggregate net asset value of our various client accounts, and
differs from the “regulatory assets under management” that we report in Item 5.F of Part 1A.)
