Overview
QVR LLC (“QVR”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in April 2017 as an
investment firm with a focus on alternative investments for sophisticated institutional investors.
QVR manages data-driven, options-focused strategies across absolute return and custom
solution business lines. QVR’s principal place of business is in San Francisco, California.
The principal owner of the business is Dr. Benjamin Eifert. Benn Eifert is the managing member
and Chief Investment Officer of QVR. He was previously co-founder and co-portfolio manager
of Mariner Coria, a relative value hedge fund on the Mariner Investment Group platform, which
was seeded with $150 million by the Mariner Incubation Client. Before Coria, he was Head of
Quantitative Research and Derivatives Trader for the Wells Fargo proprietary trading desk,

QVR provides investment advisory services on a discretionary basis to private pooled
investment vehicles. QVR also provides investment sub- advisory services on a discretionary
basis to an institutional segregated portfolio (the “Clients”) in a private pooled investment
vehicle, formed in the Cayman Islands as a segregated portfolio company and managed by an
SEC-registered investment adviser. The Client itself is also a pooled vehicle.
QVR manages the Clients in accordance with the Client’s strategies, restrictions and guidelines
and does not tailor its services to the individual needs of any particular investor in the Clients.
