Kline Hill Partners LP (“Kline Hill”) was founded in 2015 and is organized as a Delaware limited
partnership. Michael Bego and Jared Barlow (the “Principals”) are the founding partners and
principal owners of Kline Hill. Mr. Bego and Mr. Barlow are responsible for the management of
the strategies employed by Kline Hill and are supported by a team of investment and operational
professionals. Kline Hill Partners GP LLC serves as the general partner of Kline Hill and is owned
by Mr. Bego.
Kline Hill serves as the investment manager and provides discretionary advisory services to certain
private funds and special purpose vehicles (each a “Fund” or “Client” and collectively the “Funds”
or “Clients”).
Kline Hill or its affiliate formed and serves as general partner (or in a similar management role) of
one or more Funds to co-invest alongside other Funds in circumstances where Kline Hill determines
that a Fund’s equity investment in a particular Portfolio Investment should be less than the total
equity investment required for such Portfolio Investment. Kline Hill may make the determination
to utilize a co-invest Fund for reasons such as the size or specific characteristics related to the
applicable investment or for other strategic reasons, as determined by Kline Hill. See Item 10 below
for additional information.
Kline Hill may, in the future, organize additional investment vehicles or provide investment
advisory services to other accounts that follow an investment strategy similar to or different from
the investment program of the Funds.
The investment objective of Kline Hill is to make private market investments such as, but not
limited to, purchases of limited partnership interests in buyout, venture, real estate and other private
equity funds, purchases of limited partnership interests in funds of
private equity funds, and
purchases of securities in private companies. Kline Hill will seek to achieve this investment
objective by originating and triaging a broad pipeline of small-deal secondaries and purchasing
interests in private equity funds (the “Underlying Funds”) managed by unaffiliated third-party
managers (the “Underlying Managers”) and private-equity-backed companies (collectively,
“Portfolio Investments”) at what Kline Hill believes to be meaningful discounts to their intrinsic
value. In providing services to Funds, among other things, Kline Hill: (i) manages the Funds’ assets
in accordance with the terms of the applicable Fund’s confidential offering memorandum,
individual limited partnership agreement, limited liability company operating agreement,
investment advisory agreement and other governing documents applicable to each Fund
(collectively the “Governing Documents”); (ii) formulates investment objectives and, to the extent
applicable, investment restrictions; (iii) directs and manages the investment and reinvestment of the
Funds’ respective assets; and (iv) provides, or causes to be provided, periodic reports to investors
and/or Funds, as applicable. Kline Hill provides investment advice directly to the applicable Fund
and not individually to limited partners, members or shareholders of a particular Fund.
Fund investors are not currently permitted to impose restrictions on the types of investments in
which their respective Fund may invest. Investment restrictions for a Fund, if any, will generally
be established in the Governing Documents of the applicable Fund.
As of December 31, 2023, Kline Hill had regulatory assets under management of approximately
$4,988,681,468. Kline Hill has discretionary authority over the Funds’ investment activities.
