Description of Advisory Services
Jade Mountain Partners works exclusively with institutional clients including other investment adviser firms
that manage and/or administer private funds and other pooled investment vehicles. We also work with other
financial institutions that include, but are not limited to, insurance companies, pensions and profit-sharing
plans and mid-size to large corporations.
We specialize in providing investment management, advisory and consulting services which involve Jade
Mountain Partners providing clients with continuous and ongoing supervision and management over their
specified assets and/or accounts. We perform the following services for our clients:
1. Identify and analyze investment opportunities;
2. Make investment recommendations, as applicable;
3. Participate in the monitoring and evaluation of investments; and
4. Provide other related services in connection with the implementation of the investment program of
each Client.
Upon a client’s execution of an investment advisory agreement, Jade Mountain Partners provides
continuous investment advice and makes investment decisions for the client based on the individual needs
of the client. We implement a customized and unique investment approach for each client by applying Jade
Mountain Partners’ investment strategy and philosophy. See Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss for more details.
Jade Mountain Partners client accounts are managed on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. For
accounts managed on a non-discretionary basis, Jade Mountain Partners can still be granted trading
authorization on a client’s account and implement any trades in a client’s account under the supervision of
the respective investment advisors. For accounts managed on a non-discretionary basis, to the extent
applicable, Jade Mountain Partners can also rely on a pre-approved list of securities for the client account.
When discretionary authority is provided by the client, Jade Mountain Partners will not be required to contact
the client prior to making investment decisions in client accounts under Jade Mountain Partners’
management.
Jade Mountain Partners may also have clients who can choose to implement our investment
recommendations on their own. In this regard, we will not have trading authorization or direct access to the
Jade Mountain Partners, LLC Page 5 Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
account, therefore, the client will have full and complete responsibility to make changes to the account. See
Item 16 – Investment Discretion for more information.
The client’s broker/dealer will serve as the qualified custodian and maintain actual custody of all client funds
and securities. See
Item 15 – Custody for more information.
Clients will always be responsible for notifying Jade Mountain Partners of any changes to their financial
situation or investment objectives. For any Client that is not a large institutional investor, or for whom Jade
Mountain Partners suspect that there may have been a status change such that the Client is no longer a
large institutional investor, at least annually, the firm will contact each client for the specific purpose to
determine whether the client’s financial situation or investment objectives have changed, or if the client
would like to impose and/or modify any reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts. A
client’s beneficial interest in a security does not represent an undivided interest in all the securities held by
the custodian, but rather represents a direct and beneficial interest in the securities which comprise the
accounts. A separate account will always be maintained for each client with the broker-dealer/custodian
and the client retains all rights of ownership to their accounts (e. g. right to withdraw securities or cash,
exercise, or delegate proxy voting, and receive transaction confirmations).
It is important that you understand that Jade Mountain Partners provides investment management, advisory
and consulting services for other clients and give them advice or take actions for them or for our personal
accounts that is different from the advice we provide to you or actions we take for you. We are not obligated
to buy, sell, or recommend to you any security or other investment that we buy, sell, or recommend for any
other clients or for Jade Mountain Partners own personal accounts.
Conflicts arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We strive to
allocate investment opportunities believed appropriate for your account(s) and other accounts advised by
the firm among such accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all accounts involved and
consistent with the investment strategy discussed with each client. However, there can be no assurance
that a particular investment opportunity that comes to our attention will be allocated in any particular
manner. If we obtain material, non-public information about a security or its issuer that we may not lawfully
use or disclose, we have absolutely no obligation to disclose the information to any client or use it for any
client’s benefit.
If you choose to have the investment advisory fees deducted from your account, you must authorize the
qualified custodian(s) of your account to deduct fees from your account and pay such fees directly to Jade
Mountain Partners
