Balance Point provides its advisory services to the Funds in accordance with the investment objectives, investment guidelines and restrictions set forth in the relevant Fund’s organizational and offering documents and as further described below under Item 8. The general investment guidelines and restrictions applicable to any particular Fund are negotiated and fixed at the time that the particular Fund is formed, although there may be subsequent revisions with the consent of a Fund’s investors.

For BPCP V and BPCP VI, the investment committee is comprised of Seth Alvord, Justin Kaplan, and Adam Sauerteig. The investment committee of all the Funds requires unanimous approval for each investment. Prior to investing in a Fund, prospective investors should review the Fund's Offering Documents to confirm the suitability of an investment in a Fund based on the investor's particular circumstances.

As of December 31, 2023, Balance Point managed approximately $2,030,700,480 of all client assets on a discretionary basis. Balance Point does not manage any Client assets on a non-discretionary basis and therefore does not have any non-discretionary assets under management.
