Orchard is a limited liability partnership incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on
October 20, 2008. Orchard is an investment advisory services firm which specializes in investment
management for clients that are commingled private investment funds and separately managed
accounts, including through “fund of one” structures. As of December 31, 2023, our regulatory
assets under management were $10,544,569,179, with $9,582,245,134 managed on a discretionary
basis and $962,324,045 managed on a non-discretionary basis. These non-discretionary figures
include intra-group sub-advisory and similar support activities performed for clients of our
affiliated entities.
The corporate member of Orchard is Orchard Global Services Limited, which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of OGCG Overseas Holdings LLC.
Orchard provides investment advisory services to institutional investors and other sophisticated
investors through commingled private investment funds and separately managed accounts,
including through “fund of one” structures (each, a “client” and, collectively, the “clients”). We
primarily invest in various credit strategies on behalf of our clients, including structured credit,
direct lending, and fixed income investment services.
We tailor our advisory services to the individual needs and specified investment mandate of our
advisory clients. Dependent on client objectives, we may seek various investment strategies in the
private and public credit spaces, such as bank capital solutions, specialty lending, leveraged
loans/CLOs, litigation finance or structured credit opportunities. The investment management and
sub-advisory agreements do not require us to tailor our services to the needs of specific underlying
investors in commingled funds. For such funds, we will adhere to the investment strategy set forth
in each offering memorandum and the operating documents of the relevant client, including any
relevant investment guidelines or restrictions set forth therein. Orchard and its clients have the right
to enter and have entered into agreements, such as side letters, with certain underlying investors in
such clients that may in each case provide for terms of investment that are more favorable than the
terms provided
to other investors in such clients. Such terms may include waivers or discounts on
management fees and/or performance compensation, “most favored nation” clauses, the right to be
excused from participating in certain investments made by a client, notice rights upon the
occurrence of certain events, seats on a client’s limited partner advisory committee, specialized or
additional reporting rights, rights related to tax treatment, rights related to regulatory matters, rights
related to immunities or indemnification, rights related to the ability of the investor to transfer its
interest in the client, additional representations and warranties from the client, its general partner
and/or the firm, modifications to the subscription agreement and other benefits. Certain funds
(and/or underlying investors) also negotiate for investment exposure (or investment limitations)
with respect to specific industries, sectors, geographic regions or investments. In the case of
separately managed accounts, including “fund-of-one” structures, Orchard may tailor its services
to the individual needs of the underlying investors as determined with such investors on a case-by-
case basis.
From time to time, Orchard offers co-investment opportunities and/or manages co-investment
vehicles that participate in investment opportunities in which the clients invest.
We do not participate in wrap fee programs, and our clients do not currently make any
cryptocurrency related investments. Additionally, while Orchard integrates financially material
sustainability factors into its investment decision making process when relevant to a client’s
particular strategy, Orchard does not currently pursue any investment strategies with
environmental, social or governance related objectives.
Orchard is affiliated and under common control with OGAM, LP, a separately registered
investment adviser. Orchard has hired OGAM, LP, in a sub-advisory capacity, to provide
investment advisory and other support services to Orchard and the clients. There are also
arrangements where OGAM, LP and Orchard’s affiliate Orchard Global Asset Management (S)
Pte. Ltd. have hired Orchard as sub-advisor providing similar services.
