Firm Information
Founded in 2017 as a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”), Cresset Partners, LLC (“Cresset
Partners”) is a registered investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Cresset Partners is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cresset Capital Management, LLC, which
is a minority-owned subsidiary of Cresset Manager, LLC, which was founded by Avy Stein and Eric
Becker.
Cresset Partners acts as investment manager to its clients along with certain affiliated entities that
serve as general partners and managing members (as applicable) to many of its funds under a sub-
advisory agreement (each, in such capacity, a “Fund Manager”). Except where otherwise noted
herein, all references to the “Adviser,” “us,” “we,” or “our” are intended to collectively encompass
Cresset Partners and its affiliates (including the Fund Managers).
A. Advisory Services Offered
We provide discretionary investment management services solely to private investment funds, that
are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”) and whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). Such discretionary investment
management services primarily consist of sourcing, structuring, and negotiating investments and
dispositions, monitoring the performance of investments and performing certain administrative
services. The Funds to which the Adviser provides portfolio and investment management services
include: (i) private equity funds (“PE Funds”); (ii) real estate funds (“RE Funds”); and (iii) an
employee fund (the “Employee Fund”). These services are detailed in the offering documents for
each Fund, which include as applicable, operating agreements, private placement memorandum
and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate disclosure documents, and all amendments
thereto (“Offering Documents”).
The Adviser manages each Fund based on the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as
set forth in
the respective Fund’s Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual
needs or objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in
investing in a Fund is required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective
investor attests as to whether or not such prospective investor meets the qualifications to invest in
the Fund and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors associated with such an
investment.
The Employee Fund was formed for the purpose of facilitating investment by certain eligible
employees of Cresset Partners, Fund advisory board members, and certain other senior advisors
designated by Cresset Partners from time to time, in investment funds and collective investment
vehicles (including investment vehicles established to invest in a single asset or deal) managed,
advised or sponsored by Cresset Partners.
In general, investors in the Funds are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. However,
the Adviser or certain Fund Managers have entered and could in the future enter into side letter or
other written agreements with one or more investors which have the effect of establishing rights
under, or altering, modifying, or changing the terms of interest held by investors. Certain types of
side letters create a conflict of interest among the Adviser and investors, and/or between investors
themselves.
