Brochure Summary

Overview

Ottawa Avenue Private Capital, LLC (the “Company”) is an investment advisory firm based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that was founded in 2015 to manage investments in private equity funds, co- investments in private equity investment opportunities, and other traditional and alternative asset classes. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wakestream Holdings, Inc. The principal owners of Wakestream Holdings, Inc. are members of the Richard and Helen DeVos family. Prior to the Company’s formation, the Company’s investment team (the “Investment Team”) operated as a business unit within RDV Corporation and provided investment advisory services to members of the Richard and Helen DeVos family, various family related trusts, charitable foundations and similar vehicles (collectively, the “RDV Clients"), and certain current and former employees of RDV Corporation (together with the RDV Clients, the “DV Investors”). RDV Corporation was founded in 1991, primarily to serve as a means to manage the Richard and Helen DeVos family’s wealth and to facilitate opportunities for the DeVos family members to work together cooperatively. The Investment Team has been managing investments in private equity and other illiquid, alternative asset classes on behalf of the RDV Clients since 1991. In connection with a business initiative to offer investment advisory services to investors not affiliated with the RDV Clients, RDV Corporation’s investment advisory operations have been reorganized into the Company, and the Company has registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). In addition to continuing to manage assets on behalf of the RDV Clients, the Company sponsors a number of private funds (the “Funds”) formed to be the primary vehicles through which select third-party investors will participate in certain qualifying investment opportunities side-by-side with the DV Investors. As further described in Item 8 (“Other Investment Advisory Services”), the Company is also co-adviser to RidgeLake (as defined below). As an investment adviser to the RDV Clients, the Company recommends investments in various private equity, private and structured credit, and secondary investment funds, as well as direct investments, and once approved, executes and manages such investments on behalf of the RDV Clients. In addition, subject to certain budgets, guidelines, and other investment restrictions set by the RDV Clients, the Company manages on a discretionary basis a portfolio of investments in various co-investment opportunities generated by its relationships with the private fund sponsors in whose funds the RDV Clients have invested, as well as a small number of other institutional investors (collectively, the “Private Fund Sponsors”). The Company works closely with and tailors these investment advisory activities to the individual circumstances of each of the RDV Clients based on various factors, including, without limitation, investment objective, available capital, and
tax and other estate planning considerations. As the investment adviser to the Funds, the Company invests each Fund’s assets in various qualifying investment opportunities sourced by the Company during such Fund’s investment period. Generally, each Fund comprises parallel investment vehicles aggregating the commitments made by the DV Investors (the “RDV Parallel Vehicles”) and the commitments to onshore and offshore vehicles made by third-party investors in such qualifying investment opportunities on a pro rata basis based on the size of such parallel vehicle’s total capital commitments. In 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021, the Company also sponsored Funds which hold investments in certain Private Fund Sponsors (the “GP Stakes Funds”), and which were offered to the third-party investors as stand-alone Fund investment opportunities. Additionally, the Company has created sidecar vehicles in situations where i) available investment amounts exceed amounts which the Company believes should be allocated to a Fund; ii) an investor desired to participate in only a specific portion of the underlying investments in a GP Stakes Fund due to tax considerations; and iii) the Company sought to increase the deployable capital for a Fund to allow the Fund to participate in additional co-investments and create additional portfolio diversification. The Company’s services to the Funds are conducted pursuant to an investment advisory agreement that each Fund enters into with the Company, and in accordance with each Fund’s private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement and other governing documents (the “Fund Governing Documents”). The Company tailors its investment advisory activities to comply with the investment objective, guidelines, and restrictions set forth in each Fund’s Governing Documents, as the same may be amended from time to time. Because the Funds will be pooled investment vehicles, the Company will not take the individual circumstances of Funds’ investors into consideration when providing investment advice to the Funds. However, in accordance with common industry practice, a Fund or its general partner may from time to time enter into a “side letter” or similar agreement with an investor pursuant to which the Fund or its general partner grants the investor specific rights, benefits, or privileges that are not generally made available to all investors. See Item 8 (“Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss”) for additional details. The Company and Apogem Capital LLC are unaffiliated advisers to two private funds named RidgeLake Partners, LP and RidgeLake Co-Investment Partners, LP (collectively, “RidgeLake”). The RDV Clients are also seed investors in RidgeLake. The Company has made investments in RidgeLake available to third- party investors. The Company does not directly participate in wrap fee programs. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $20,209,044,347 in regulatory assets under management, of which approximately $14,067,580,591 was managed on a discretionary basis.
