Brochure Summary

Overview

Variant is a Los Angeles-based private investment management firm focused on the acquisition, holding and distribution or other disposition of securities, with a focus on corporate divestitures and similar operationally intensive transactions, through its related investment vehicles. Variant was founded in 2017. The direct owner of Variant is Variant Equity Holdings, LLC and its indirect owner is Farhaad Chanduwadia, an individual. Variant provides discretionary investment advisory services to privately offered pool investment vehicles that are sometimes individually referred to as a “Fund,” and collectively as the “Funds.” The Funds are typically Delaware limited partnerships that are exempt from registration under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and whose interests will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In providing services to the Funds, Variant formulates an investment objective, directs and manages the investment and reinvestment of the Funds’ assets, and provides periodic reports to the investors in their respective Funds (each, an “Investor” and collectively,
the “Investors”). Variant manages the assets of the Funds in accordance with the terms of the Funds’ applicable offering documents, limited partnership agreements and other governing documents (collectively, “Governing Documents”). Variant does not provide investment advice to separately managed accounts nor does it provide investment advice to individual Investors. However, the Firm or its affiliates may from time to time enter into a side letter or similar agreement with certain Investors that may entitle such Investors to rights (including economic or other terms) under or altering or supplementing a Fund’s Governing Documents as to those Investors only. Such agreements may provide more favorable terms with respect to (i) opting out of particular investments, (ii) reporting obligations of the Fund; (iii) transfers to affiliates, (iv) co-investment opportunities, (v) withdrawal rights due to adverse tax or regulatory events, and (vi) consent rights to certain Governing Document amendments. As of December 31, 2023, Variant managed Regulatory Assets Under Management of approximately US $407.7 million on a discretionary basis.
