Introductory Note: Because Stanhope is organized outside the United States and does not provide
investment advisory services from any U.S. location, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended (the “Advisers Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder only apply to
Stanhope’s activities with current prospective U.S. clients. Stanhope is not required to comply with
the Advisers Act with respect to any of its activities that occur outside the U.S. and which do not
concern U.S. clients or prospective clients.

seeking advice on asset allocation, manager selection or the supervision of existing portfolios.
Alternative Investments:
Stanhope’s Private Investments team enables its Clients to have access to private equity, real estate
and private credit investments through a range of access vehicles and Funds (some of which are
directly managed by Stanhope Capital).
Through the access vehicles, Clients are able to invest with some of the world’s best known funds
which often have high minimum thresholds. The access vehicles are diversified by strategy and
region.
Stanhope also structures and manages Funds covering niche strategies in areas such as development
capital, buy-outs and direct real estate, e.g. the Stanhope Entrepreneurs Fund (SEF) and
the German Real Estate Fund (GREF).
Merchant Banking:
Stanhope’s Merchant Banking team provides corporate finance advice on mergers, acquisitions,
disposals, restructurings and capital raising – debt and equity. Merchant Banking Clients are
generally prominent entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, private and public corporations
seeking an independent approach to implement their strategic plans.
Stanhope generally seeks to achieve the investment objectives of a Fund by managing and
executing investment strategies on its own.
Investment Restrictions
The investment objectives and the investment strategies of each Fund managed by Stanhope are
described in detail in the Fund’s offering and subscription documents or investment management
agreement.
Separate account management is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (i.e., capital
preservation, income, growth, etc.). Client investment objectives are identified by assessing the
Client’s risk tolerance based upon various criteria like need for cash flow, investment goals and the
like. These objectives are then typically documented via the investment guidelines contained
within an investment management agreement. When a Client grants the Adviser investment
discretion, Stanhope is authorized to invest, sell, and reinvest proceeds in the Client’s account
without obtaining the Client’s prior confirmation of any proposed action. Stanhope will manage
the account in accordance with the investment guidelines and/or restrictions that have been
provided by the Client.
Stanhope provides investment advice to Funds. Information about a Fund’s investment objective
and strategies, fees and expenses, and other material information may be found in the Fund’s private
placement memorandum.
Wrap Fee Programs
Stanhope does not participate in wrap programs.
