As of December 31, 2022, Pavadi is the investment manager of $110,970,874 of regulatory assets on a
discretionary basis. The Funds include (i) one Pavadi Fund, Pavadi Healthcare Value Long Only Fund LP
(the “Pavadi Healthcare Fund”), and (ii) two Pavadi Accounts. In addition, in the future, Pavadi may enter
into arrangements under which it will potentially provide discretionary advisory services to other pooled
investment vehicles and/or separately managed accounts.
Although Pavadi generally invests in U.S.-listed equity securities of companies in the healthcare industry,
it has broad and flexible investment authority with respect to the Funds, subject to certain limitations (which
differ across the Funds
and are set forth in the Funds’ Governing Documents, as defined below).
The investment objective of the Funds is to compound capital by earning superior returns over time via a
value-oriented investment strategy focused primarily on U.S.-listed equity securities of companies in the
healthcare industry. The healthcare industry may include, but is not limited to, issuers in fields such as
health insurance and managed care, healthcare services, hospital management, pharmaceuticals
(innovative, specialty and generic), biotechnology, medical devices, medical equipment, diagnostics and
other related areas. While the Funds are currently expected to invest predominantly in U.S.-listed equity
securities of health care issuers, it should be noted that, subject to certain limitations (which differ across
the Funds), there are expected to be no limitations on the types of instruments and markets in which the
Funds may invest. Refer to Item 8 for further details.
Generally, and in particular with respect to the Pavadi Funds, each Fund’s investment objective and strategy
is set forth in a confidential private offering memorandum and/or an investment manager agreement (and
any applicable supplements) provided to each investor in the relevant Fund (each, an “Investor” and
together with all Funds’ investors, the “Investors”). Such documents, together with the limited partnership
agreements, operating agreements and other governing documents of the Funds, are collectively referred
to herein as the “Governing Documents.”
In providing services to the Pavadi Funds, Pavadi provides investment advice directly to the Pavadi Funds
and not individually to the Investors. Pavadi neither tailors the advisory services it provides to the Pavadi
Funds to the individual needs of the Investors nor accepts Investor-imposed investment restrictions. When
deemed appropriate, and typically for a large or strategic investor, Pavadi may establish one or more
additional Pavadi Accounts, which may (i) tailor their investment objectives to those of the specific
Investors and/or (ii) be subject to different investment objectives, terms and/or fees than those of other
Funds. Such investment objectives, fee arrangements and terms will be individually negotiated, and it
should be noted that any such Pavadi Accounts would generally be subject to significant account
minimums.
The Investment Manager has entered into an arrangement whereby it provides information regarding the
Fund’s investment strategy and investment activities to a third party in exchange for a fee paid to the
Investment Manager. The third party is itself an investment manager that uses such information, as well
as similar information from other managers, to build a quantitatively driven portfolio of its own that it
offers to its clients. The third party receives such information in the form of “after the fact” access to the
Fund’s trading activity and holdings via a link-up with the Fund’s prime broker. The third party’s portfolio
may be comprised in part or solely of some or all of the Fund’s holdings; and the Investment Manager has
no control over, or transparency with respect to, the investment activities of the third party.
Pavadi does not participate in wrap fee programs.
It is critical that Investors and prospective Investors refer to the relevant Fund’s Governing Documents for
a complete understanding of the terms and conditions of investments therein.
