Aldrich, a Delaware limited partnership and a registered investment adviser, and its
affiliated investment advisers provide investment advisory services to investment funds privately
offered to qualified investors in the United States and elsewhere. Aldrich commenced operations
in September 2014.
Aldrich’s clients include Aldrich Capital Partners Fund, LP, Aldrich Capital Partners Fund
A, LP, Aldrich Capital Partners Fund II, LP, and Aldrich Capital Partners Fund II-A, LP (each, a
“Fund,” and together with any future private investment fund to which Aldrich or its affiliates
provide investment advisory services, the “Funds”). Aldrich also manages the following: (i) eight
co-investment vehicles, ACP 2018 SPV 1, LLC (“Co-Invest Vehicle 1”), ACP 2019 SPV 1, LLC
(“Co-Invest Vehicle 2”), ACP 2019 SPV 2, LLC (“Co-Invest Vehicle 3”), ACP 2021 SPV 1,
LLC (“Co-Invest Vehicle 4”), Aldrich Capital Partners Fund II Co-Investment, LP (“Co-Invest
Vehicle 5”), ACP 2021 SPV 2, LLC (“Co-Invest Vehicle 6”), ACP 2022 SPV 1, LLC (“Co-Invest
Vehicle 7”) and ACP 2022 SPV 2, LLC (“Co-Invest Vehicle 8”) (ii) two special purpose vehicles:
ACP 2016 SPV 1, LLC (“SPV 1”) and ACP 2015 SPV 2, LLC (“SPV 2,” and together with Co-
Invest Vehicle 1, Co-Invest Vehicle 2, Co-Invest Vehicle 3, Co-Invest Vehicle 4, Co-Invest
Vehicle 5, Co-Invest Vehicle 6, Co-Invest Vehicle 7, Co-Invest Vehicle 8, and SPV 1, the
“SPVs”). Each of SPV 1 and SPV 2 were formed prior to the Funds to hold a single subsidiary
portfolio company (as defined below).
The following general partner and manager entities are affiliated with Aldrich:
• Aldrich Fund I GP, LP, and Aldrich Fund II GP, LP (individually “General Partner”,
together “General Partners”)
• ACP 2016 Principal SPV 1, LLC (“Principal SPV 1”)
• ACP 2015 Principal SPV 2, LLC (“Principal SPV 2”)
(each a “Manager,” and collectively with Aldrich, the “Advisers”).
Each Manager is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to Aldrich’s registration in
accordance with SEC guidance. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the
Managers, which operate as a single advisory business together with Aldrich.
The Funds and SPVs are private equity funds and invest through negotiated transactions in
operating entities, generally referred to herein as “portfolio companies.” Aldrich’s investment
advisory services to the Funds and SPVs consist of identifying and evaluating investment
opportunities, negotiating the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and
achieving dispositions for such investments. Although investments are made predominantly in
non-public companies, investments in public companies are permitted. From time to time, where
such investments consist of portfolio companies, the senior principals (the “Principals”) or other
personnel of Aldrich or its affiliates generally serve on such portfolio companies’ respective boards
of directors or otherwise act to influence control over management of portfolio companies in which
the Funds and SPVs have invested.
The Advisers’
advisory services to the Funds and SPVs are detailed in the relevant private
placement memoranda or other offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”), limited partnership
agreements, limited liability company agreements or other operating agreements or governing
documents of the Funds and SPVs (each, an “Operating Agreement”) and are further described
below under “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors in the
Funds participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but in certain
circumstances are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other agreed-
upon circumstances pursuant to the Operating Agreement, although SPV investors only participate
in the single investment made by each SPV. For the avoidance of doubt, such arrangements
generally do not and will not create an adviser-client relationship between the Advisers and any
investor. The Funds and SPVs or the Advisers generally enter into side letters or other similar
agreements (“Side Letters”) with certain investors that have the effect of establishing rights
(including economic or other terms) under, or altering or supplementing the terms of, the Operating
Agreement with respect to such investors.
From time to time and as permitted by the Operating Agreement, the Advisers expect to
provide (or agree to provide) co-investment opportunities (including the opportunity to participate
in co-invest vehicles) to certain investors or other persons, including Operating Advisors (as
defined below) and other consultants, service providers, finders, other sponsors and market
participants, the Advisers’ personnel and/or certain other persons associated with the Advisers
and/or its affiliates. Such co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in
the applicable portfolio company at the same time and on the same terms as the Fund or SPV
making the investment. However, from time to time, for strategic and other reasons, a co- investor
or co-invest vehicle (including a co-investing Fund or SPV) purchases a portion of an investment
from one or more Funds or SPVs after such Funds or SPVs have consummated their investment
in the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell-down or transfer), which generally will
have been funded through Fund or SPV investor capital contributions and/or use of a Fund or SPV
credit facility. Any such purchase from a Fund or SPV by a co- investor or co-invest vehicle
generally occurs shortly after the Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in
valuation of the investment and the co-investor or co-invest vehicle generally will be charged
interest on the purchase (or otherwise equitably to adjust the purchase price under certain
conditions) to compensate the relevant Fund for the holding period, and generally will be required
to reimburse the relevant Fund for related costs.
As of December 31, 2023, Aldrich managed approximately $1,218,474,644 in client assets
on a discretionary basis. Aldrich is owned by Mirza Baig and Raheel Zia.
