A. Description of the Adviser
Each Adviser is a privately held Delaware limited liability company registered as an investment adviser
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended
(the “Advisers Act”)*. Each is controlled by SCP IM, LLC (“SCP IM”), which owns 75.5% of SIA and 100% of
SIH. SCP IM is 100% owned by Sabal Capital Operations, LLC (“SCO”), which is 100% owned by Sabal Capital
Holding Company, LLC (“SCHC”). SCHC is majority- owned by Trident Sabal Capital Holdings-II Corporation
(“Trident”), which is subsequently owned by four pooled investment vehicles, two of which in aggregate own
96.26 of Trident (“Trident Funds”).
The Adviser’s total assets under management is $3,325,851,149 as of December 31, 2023.
B. Specialization
The Adviser manages on behalf of its clients investments primarily in the commercial real estate (“CRE”)
credit and equity sectors, seeking to capitalize primarily on the fundamentals in the small- and mid-balance CRE
market and potential increased demand for financing by focusing on senior secured loans and/or debt investments
backed by commercial real estate loans, especially workforce and affordable multifamily properties originated
across geographic markets in the United States. See Item 7 for the types of the Adviser’s clients.
C. Advisory Services
Generally, the Adviser provides investment advice pursuant to, and subject to the strategy and restrictions
(if any) set forth in, a client’s offering memorandum, organizational documents, subscription agreements, advisory
or investment management agreements and/or any side letter agreements negotiated with investors in the applicable
client, and property management agreements related to property acquired directly or through a subsidiary company
(to the extent applicable with respect to each client, collectively, “Governing Documents”). The Adviser may add
to, change, or modify its investment strategies at any time in its sole discretion, provided that any such modification
or change falls within the parameters of a client’s Governing Documents, as may be amended from time to time.
The Adviser neither offers nor participates in any wrap fee programs.
Fund Advisory Services
The Adviser currently provides investment advisory services to clients that are privately offered
investment vehicles that are operated by general partner affiliates, which investment vehicles primarily invest
directly or indirectly in CRE markets (collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”). SIA currently provides
investment advisory services to one Fund and SIH provides investment advisory services to five Funds.
The Adviser manages the Funds pursuant to the investment strategy described in the Governing Documents
of the respective Fund for which each has separate investment management discretion. Each Adviser’s affiliate
serving as General Partner has created certain alternative investment vehicles structured as limited liability
companies and may create such investment vehicles in the future (“Alternative Investment Vehicles”), to further
a Fund’s investment objectives and to accommodate certain tax, legal and regulatory considerations of investors.
Investors in each Fund may negotiate the terms of the applicable Fund agreement in connection with their
investments in such Fund. In certain cases, the Adviser or its affiliate may, and have entered into side letter
agreements with certain investors in the Funds (“Side Letters”) establishing rights under, or supplementing or
altering terms of, the applicable Fund agreement. Such Side Letters cover many different topics, including without
limitation: “most favored nation” rights; modified notice or reporting requirements; compliance with certain
ERISA requirements; fee terms; confidentiality; co-investment opportunities; transfers; the right to receive certain
*Such registration does not imply that the SEC has passed upon the services provided by the Adviser.
special allocations; and certain other matters relating to an investment in the Fund. The Adviser tracks all Side
Letters that have been entered into with respect to each Fund to ensure that no investors are disadvantaged by the
triggering of one or more provisions of a Side Letter.
Specific details relating to the advisory and management services provided to the Funds and investments
through an Alternative Investment Vehicle, including details relating to fees, risks, and other considerations, are
fully disclosed in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Current and prospective investors should refer to the
applicable Fund’s Governing Documents for complete information on the investment restrictions and risks of
investing.
Separately Managed Accounts
SIH may act as investment manager, general partner, or limited liability company manager for separately
managed accounts (“Managed Accounts”) and provide discretionary and non-discretionary investment advice to
institutional investors who may also be investors in the Funds. Currently, SIH provides investment advice to a
Managed Account that is a single member investor private fund., which is an investor in one of the Funds advised
by SIH (referred to herein as the “SMA”). The Managed Accounts seek to generate current income and capital
appreciation through a broad investment strategy in commercial real estate debt and equity investments.
Future Funds
SIH or its affiliates may act as investment manager, general partner, or limited liability company manager
for investment funds having similar investment objectives and using substantially the same investment strategy
as the Funds and the Managed Accounts, and may create additional limited partnership funds and/or single member
funds for separately managed accounts.
