Ibex Investors LLC (“Ibex”, “we” or the “Firm”) is a Colorado limited liability company, founded in February
2003. Ibex provides investment management services primarily to privately offered limited partnerships
and corporate investment vehicles (collectively, the “Ibex Funds” or individually, an “Ibex Fund”) and, to
a limited extent and upon request, to separately managed accounts and through sub-advisory
relationships (along with the Ibex Funds, referred to herein collectively as the “clients” or individually, as
a “client”).
The Firm provides investment advice to its clients with respect to their portfolio investments. The Ibex
Funds are managed in accordance with the investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions set forth in
each Ibex Fund’s respective offering memorandum, partnership agreement, memorandum and articles of
association, or similar agreement, subscription agreement and related governing documents (collectively,
for each Ibex Fund, the “Governing Documents”). As of the date of this Brochure, the Firm’s primary
investment strategies, which are described more fully in Item 8 below, are: (i) Israel Flagship Growth VC
and Public Equity, (ii) Israel Early-Stage VC, (iii) Israel Public-Only Equity; (iv) Mobility Early Stage VC, (v)
Select Co-Investments, and (vi) Microcaps. With respect to these primary investment strategies, the Firm
may execute such strategies through Ibex Funds organized as hedge funds, private equity funds, venture
capital funds or other forms of private investment funds. Additionally, a strategy may be executed through
separately managed accounts or sub-advisory relationships, although as of the date of this Brochure, no
such relationships exist.
Ibex provides investment advice to the Ibex Funds on a discretionary basis based on each Ibex Funds’
specific investment objective and strategy and does not tailor investment advice to the individual needs
of any Investor nor may any Investor impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities. Ibex provides services to each Ibex Fund in accordance with the Governing Documents of such
Ibex Fund and, where applicable, a management agreement by and among Ibex, an affiliated general
partner of such Ibex Fund, and the Ibex Fund. Such management agreements may be terminated by Ibex
or the applicable Ibex Fund with notice to the other party. The Firm considers the Ibex Funds, and not the
Investors in those Ibex Funds, its clients. Certain Ibex Funds were formed as co-investment vehicles to
allow Investors to invest alongside an existing Ibex Fund or the Firm in a specific portfolio company. The
Firm also has the right to
form one or more parallel investment funds for certain types of Investors who
seek to invest in an existing Ibex Fund. There is no guarantee that Investors in a given Ibex Fund (including
any parallel funds) will share in the same investment opportunities available to Investors in other Ibex
Funds.
The Ibex Funds based in the U.S. are offered on a private placement basis and only to persons who qualify
as “accredited investors” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), “qualified
clients” under the Advisers Act, and with respect to certain Ibex Funds, “qualified purchasers” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Ibex Funds based
outside of the U.S. are offered on a private placement basis and only to (i) Non-US Persons (as such term
is defined in the Securities Act) and (ii) U.S. investors who are “qualified purchasers” and exempt from
federal income taxation.
Ibex does not participate in wrap-fee programs.
Firm Brochure (ADV, Part 2A) 6
See Item 7 below for information about the Firm’s authority to enter into “side letters” with certain
Investors. Such Investors may receive terms that differ from the terms applicable to other Investors in a
given Ibex Fund.
The Firm may also offer separately-managed accounts to high-net-worth individuals and institutional
clients (“separate accounts”) and may serve as sub-adviser to private investment funds or corporate
investment vehicles sponsored by non-affiliated investment managers (“sub-advised funds”). A separate
account or sub-advised fund may choose a strategy similar to that of an Ibex Fund or a customized strategy
as agreed upon by the Firm and the client that is based on one of the Ibex Funds’ strategies. The Firm
works with each separate account or sub-advised fund client to understand its investment objectives and
to establish the elements of its relationship as the client’s investment adviser. This process culminates
with the negotiation and preparation of an investment management agreement that outlines the terms
of the client-adviser relationship, including, but not limited to, investment strategy, investment limitations
and fees.
The sole member and owner of Ibex is Ibex Investment Holdings LLC (“Holdco”). The principal owner of
Holdco is JBB Holdings Inc., an entity wholly-owned by Justin B. Borus, who is the Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Investment Officer, Manager and a Founder of the Firm.
As of December 31, 2023, the Firm had approximately $1,032,349,963 of regulatory assets under
management, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
