Types of Firm Services
Portfolio Management Services
The Firm provides portfolio management services on a discretionary basis to EF Accounts. In some
instances, the investment advice provided may be custom tailored to meet a client’s investment needs
and objectives. In other instances, the investment advice may follow a particular pre-defined investment
strategy that might not be custom tailored to an individual client.
At the inception of the relationship, the Firm may gather relevant information about each client’s risk
tolerance, investment objectives and financial profile and will recommend an initial portfolio to the
client. Once the portfolio is constructed, the Firm will provide continuous supervision taking into
account changes in market conditions and client circumstances.
As part of the Firm’s discretionary portfolio management services, the Firm requires clients to grant the
Firm discretionary authority to manage their respective EF Accounts. Discretionary authorization will
allow the Firm to determine the specific securities and the amount of securities to be purchased or sold
for a client’s account without a client’s prior approval to each transaction. Discretionary authority is
typically granted by the investment advisory agreement a client signs with the Firm, a power of attorney
or trading authorization
forms. Clients may limit the Firm’ discretionary authority (for example, limiting
the types of securities that can be purchased for a client’s account) by providing the Firm with a client’s
restrictions and guidelines in writing, which must be approved by the Firm.
Private Investment Funds
In addition to the services described above, the Firm and its affiliates offer management services on a
discretionary basis to Funds. Such management services include serving as manager and investment
adviser to such Fund(s) and being responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s business
and operations, as well as being responsible for making investment decisions for the Fund(s). The Firm
currently serves as investment adviser to Edge Focus High Yield Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “EFHY Fund”),Edge Focus Alpha Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “EFA
Fund”) and Edge Focus Paradigm Fund I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Paradigm Fund”),
and an affiliate of the Firm acts as general partner to each of the EFHY Fund, the EFA Fund and the
Paradigm Fund. The Firm and its affiliates may serve as manager/general partner and/or investment
adviser to additional such private pooled investment vehicles in the future.
With respect to a Fund, the Firm manages the Fund’s assets based on the specific investment objectives
and restrictions of the particular fund, as outlined in each Fund’s Offering Memorandum, rather than
on the individual needs and objectives of the individual investors in the private funds. More specifically,
the Firm manages the business, investment and financial affairs of each Fund, which includes, but is not
limited to, identifying and analyzing potential investments and monitoring the development and
eventual sale and liquidation of those investments.
The Firm has not limited the types of investments it makes. Other professionals (e.g., lawyers,
accountants, insurance agents, etc.) are engaged directly on an as-needed basis.
Wrap Fee Programs
The Firm does not currently offer any wrap fee programs.
