A. Description of Advisory Firm
Point Olema was co-founded in 2019 by Eric Upin and John O’Connor (collectively, the
“Founders”). Point Olema is organized as a Delaware limited partnership and the sole general
partner of the firm is Point Olema Capital Partners Management, L.L.C. The firm is managed by its
Executive Committee, which consists of Mr. Upin; Mr. O’Connor; Chief Operating Officer, Iain
McNeil; and Managing Director, Client Investments, Nancy Turner. All investment decisions are
made by Point Olema’s Investment Committee; the Committee’s voting members are Mr. Upin;
Mr. O’Connor; Mr. McNeil; and Managing Director, Investments, Nicholas Heard. Mr. O’Connor
is currently taking a reduced role with the firm while he recovers from neck surgery.
Point Olema is an independent advisory firm that provides financial advice and portfolio
management services to sophisticated individuals, family offices, institutional investors and to
private investment funds (collectively, “Clients”). For purposes of this Brochure, investors and
potential investors in the Funds (collectively, "Investors") are not considered Clients as defined
under Section 203(b)(3)-1 of the Advisers Act.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Point Olema manages Client assets through various means including, managed advisory accounts
(“Advisory Accounts”) and affiliated unregistered comingled investment vehicles (“Funds”).
Certain affiliated entities serve as General Partners to the Funds and are under common control with
Point Olema. The Funds generally employ a “manager of managers” approach to invest in other
privately offered pooled investment funds and asset classes, managed by Point Olema or an affiliate,
or by unaffiliated third-party asset managers, and are used to allow Advisory Account Clients and
other investors to access investment opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable to them.
Point Olema has and may in the future enter into strategic sub-advisory relationships with
unaffiliated investment advisers to advise certain Funds whose investors are comprised of the
unaffiliated investment adviser’s clients. Certain Funds invest in affiliated Funds and/or directly in
select co-investment opportunities, including private or public
companies, recommended by
unaffiliated third-party asset managers in which the Funds invest. Point Olema aims to organize the
Funds into distinct asset classes or strategies to allow Point Olema to customize its Advisory
Account portfolios. The investment strategies that Point Olema utilizes for the Funds, as well as
other information about the Funds and their respective terms, are described in the particular Fund’s
offering materials.
The Funds are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the “Investment Company Act”) and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Details surrounding the investment strategies pursued by the Advisory Accounts and Funds are
noted in Item 8. Methods of Analysis.
C. Client Investment Objectives and Restrictions
Point Olema’s management of Advisory Accounts is governed by an “Investment Management
Agreement” or similar agreement that outlines the specific investment guidelines and restrictions
for Point Olema’s asset allocations. Advisory Account arrangements are individually tailored to the
investment objectives, guidelines, and risk tolerance of prospective Advisory Account Clients. Point
Olema will work to create and implement an investment plan and coordinate the investment
management of these portfolios, consistent with this plan.
The Funds are governed by a limited partnership agreement or similar operating agreement
(“Governing Documents”) that outline the specific investment guidelines and restrictions in
participating in Point Olema strategies. Investors should refer to the Fund Governing Documents
for important information on the investment objectives and investment restrictions. There can be no
assurance that any of the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved. As such, Point Olema’s
services are generally not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular investor of a relevant
Fund.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Point Olema does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of January 5, 2024, Point Olema manages approximately $1.78 billion in Regulatory Assets
Under Management including approximately $653 million on a discretionary basis and $1.13 billion
