Brochure Summary

Overview

ACA was formed in November 2015. ACA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Antares Capital LP (“Antares Capital”), which is, in turn, an indirect subsidiary of Antares Holdings LP (“Holdings” and, together with its direct or indirect subsidiaries, the “Antares Platform”).1 ALCS, a relying adviser of ACA, was formed in March 2023 as a series LLC, with advisory services provided by the “management series” while other series hold investments, including investments in certain clients, generally to satisfy risk retention requirements. ACA wholly-owns the management series of ALCS, while interests in other series are held by a different wholly-owned subsidiary within the Antares Platform. The ultimate majority owner of the Advisers and Holdings is the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board d/b/a CPP Investments (“CPP Investments”), which is also a client. The Antares Platform is a leading provider of financial solutions to middle market private equity sponsors in the U.S., offering a “one-stop” source for lending and other services to middle market private equity sponsors. The Advisers offer investment management services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis to affiliates and non-affiliates including, without limitation, private funds, collateralized loan obligation issuers (“CLOs”) and institutional investors (primarily through “funds of one” or separately managed accounts) (each a “Client” and collectively “Clients”). It is expected that each Client’s mandate will focus primarily on one of two strategies offered by the Advisers: The first, referred to herein as the “Private Credit Strategy”, invests primarily in secured loans and other financial instruments sourced by the Antares Platform (“Private Credit Instruments”), is generally pursued by ACA. The second, referred to herein as the “Liquid Credit Strategy”, invests primarily in broadly syndicated and/or leveraged loans and certain high-yield bonds (“Liquid Credit Instruments” and, together with Private Credit Instruments, “Assets”), is generally pursued by ALCS. In some cases, a Client that focuses on the Private Credit Strategy could also invest in Liquid Credit Instruments or a Client that focuses on the Liquid Credit Strategy could also invest in Private Credit Instruments. Such Clients will generally have a contractual arrangement with ACA where the primary focus is Private Credit (each Client whose sole or primary strategy is Private Credit is referred to herein as an “ACA Client” or “Private Credit Client”) or with ALCS where the primary focus is Liquid Credit (each Client whose sole or primary strategy is Liquid Credit is referred to herein as an “ALCS Client” or “Liquid Credit Client”). It will generally be the case that, for Private Credit Clients that invest in Liquid Credit Instruments as a secondary focus, ACA will determine the extent to which that Client invests in Liquid Credit Instruments (where consistent with the Client’s expected portfolio profile, as defined below), although ALCS will generally identify, and potentially act with discretion to cause the Client to invest in, Liquid Credit Instruments (or vice versa, for Liquid Credit Clients investing in Private Credit Instruments as a secondary focus). As a result, disclosure herein related to Private Credit Clients or Liquid Credit 1 Please note that, with respect to the Antares Platform, only Holdings, Antares Assetco LP, Antares Complete Financing Solution LLC, Antares Vesta Funding LP and Antares Venus LP would be considered originators and lenders of loans, and to the extent Antares Platform is used in such context it should be deemed to mean Holdings, Antares Assetco LP, Antares Vesta Funding LP and Antares Venus LP, while Antares Capital would be considered, as arranger, administrative agent and/or similar capacities for loans. The Advisers
are not originators, lenders or arrangers. Clients, respectively, and or related to the Private Credit Strategy or Liquid Credit Strategy, respectively, will generally also apply when a Client’s expected portfolio profile includes both Private Credit and Liquid Credit, even if one is the primary focus and the other a secondary focus. Additionally, such Clients should understand that, absent specific requirements of the mandate, ACA or ALCS, as applicable, could determine that Assets associated with the secondary focus are not appropriate for or available to the Client under certain circumstances. Certain Clients are affiliates of the Advisers (each an “Affiliate Client” but, for avoidance of doubt, the term Affiliate Client does not include any client for whom an Adviser or an affiliate acts as general partner or managing member, interests in the Client are offered to or held by third parties and the Advisers or an affiliate has contributed less than 25% of the capital or holds or expects to hold less than 25% of the interests). Except as otherwise described herein, each Client’s Assets are managed in accordance with the particular investment objectives, strategies, restrictions and guidelines set forth in that Client’s investment advisory agreement and any other relevant agreements such as a Client’s organizational documents and/or financing transaction documents, as applicable (“Client Agreements”), with consideration of the primary and, where applicable, secondary strategy, and in accordance with the Advisers’ understandings of the types of investments each Client wishes to pursue in the long term (the Client’s “expected portfolio profile”). Other than for Clients selecting a separately managed account or fund of one structure, the Advisers generally do not tailor their advisory services to the needs of individual investors. At inception of a pooled investment vehicle, however, specific investment criteria are typically established for the Client in consultation with prospective investors (e.g., specific industry restrictions and concentrations, investment product type concentrations, geographic restrictions, investment size restrictions). The particular investment objectives, strategies, restrictions and other guidelines with respect to each Client are set forth in the applicable Client Agreements and are further described, along with certain risks and conflicts of interest associated therewith, in offering materials such as offering memoranda provided to CLO and private fund investors or in supplemental risk and conflicts of interest disclosures provided to “fund of one” and separately managed account investors (“Supplemental Disclosures”), which are made available to investors only through the relevant Adviser or another authorized party. Prior to investing in a Client, prospective investors should review the Client Agreements and Supplemental Disclosures to confirm that investing in a Client is appropriate in light of the investor’s particular circumstances. ACA also provides valuation and reporting services to certain parties who have contractual relationships with Antares Platform (“Valuation Clients”). In these cases, a separate Valuation Services Agreement is entered between ACA and the Valuation Client (a “Valuation Agreement”). The services provided to Valuation Clients are limited by the Valuation Agreement, not tailored to the Valuation Client and do not include advice as to purchasing, selling or holding any Assets. ACA is not obligated to provide any advice regarding the advisability of holding any Asset nor to inform a Valuation Client if a Client or the Antares Platform has acquired or disposed, or intends to acquire or dispose, of any Asset. As of January 1, 2024, (i) ACA managed $34,450,963,435 on a discretionary basis and $1,509,707,710 on a non-discretionary basis and (ii) ALCS managed $1,096,827,779, all on a discretionary basis.
