qualified investors, including high net worth individuals, retirement plans, trusts, partnerships, corporations, or
other businesses1. The principal owner of Altera Private Access (i.e., own 25% or more) is Altera Investments,

Altera Private Access tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of the Client, based on the Client’s
outlined investment objectives described in the applicable Client’s (i) confidential offering memorandum and (ii)
governing documents (referred to collectively as “Offering Documents”).
Altera Private Access’ clients typically fall into one of three overarching profiles: multi-manager vehicles, single
manager vehicles, and direct investments. Each Client has a specific investment objective and may invest
across different asset classes, geographies, or industries. Altera Private Access’ focus is on providing advisory
services to Clients investing in the lower, lower-middle, and middle markets. Clients primarily engage Altera
Private Access for its advisory on investment allocation, investment sizing, investment structure, fee sizing,
decisions around capital calls and distributions, and investment exit considerations.
Altera Private Access provides ongoing advisory services to the Private Investments involving:
1. Determining what, if any, actions need to be taken with respect to the underlying investment
including any legal actions or participation or being influential in the governance of the Underlying
Investment via the board of advisors.
2. Advisory when the Private Investment needs to make a cash call and how to best manage liquidity
at the Private Investment level.
3. Determining, in negative scenarios, if no further investment should be made into the underlying
investment
from the Private Investment, which could result in a default.
The Private Investments are not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and only offer interests in a private placement. Further, such interests in private placements are only
offered to qualified clients (as defined in Rule 205-3 of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940) or qualified
purchasers (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act). Investors who reside in certain
states are required to meet standards different from or in addition to those described above. Investors will be
required to represent in writing that they meet any such standards that may be applicable to them. The
Managing Member of the Private Investment can, without the consent of the existing Members, admit new
Members to the Private Investment. The Managing Member may reject a subscription for an Interest for any
reason in its sole and absolute discretion. If a subscription is rejected, any payment remitted by the Investor
will be returned without interest.
1 As a registered investment adviser, Altera Private Access owes a fiduciary duty to all its clients. In 2006, the decision by the Court of
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Goldstein v. SEC, 451 F.3d 873 (D.C. Cir June 23, 2006), with respect to private funds, clarified that the
“client” of an investment adviser to a private fund is the fund itself and not an investor in the fund.
All discussion of the Clients in this Disclosure Brochure, including but not limited to, their investments, the
strategies used in managing the Clients, and conflicts of interest faced by the Adviser in connection with the
management of the Clients are qualified in their entirety by reference to each Client’s respective Offering
Documents.
