The Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company and a registered investment adviser,
and its affiliated investment advisers provide investment advisory services to investment funds
privately offered to qualified investors in the United States and elsewhere. The Adviser
commenced operations in January 2021.
The Adviser’s clients include the following private investment funds to which BroadLight
Capital Management, LLC or its affiliates provide investment advisory services (each a “Fund,”
and together with any future private investment funds to which BroadLight Capital Management,
LLC or its affiliates provide investment advisory services, the “Funds”).
• BroadLight Capital Partners Fund I, L.P.
• BroadLight Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P.
• BroadLight Capital Partners Fund I-B, L.P.
• BroadLight Zapp SPV, L.P.
The Adviser also is permitted to serve as investment adviser to an “executive fund” offered
to employees, affiliates and other investors with a relationship to the Adviser or its personnel.
BroadLight Capital Partners Fund I GP, L.P. (together with any future general partners that
may be formed from time to time, each a “General Partner” and together with the Adviser and
their affiliated entities, “BroadLight”), is affiliated with the Adviser.
Each General Partner is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to the Adviser’s registration
in accordance with SEC guidance. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the
General Partners, which operate as a single advisory business together with the Adviser.
The Funds are private equity funds and invest through negotiated transactions in operating
entities (generally referred to herein as “portfolio companies”). BroadLight’s investment advisory
services to the Funds consist of identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating
the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and achieving dispositions for
such investments. Although investments are made predominantly in non-public companies,
investments in public companies are permitted. From time to time, where such investments consist
of portfolio companies, the senior principals or other personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates
generally serve on such portfolio companies’ respective boards of directors or otherwise act to
influence control over management of portfolio companies in which the Funds have invested.
The advisory services to the Funds are detailed in the applicable Fund’s private placement
memoranda or other offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”), limited partnership or other
operating agreements (each, a “Partnership Agreement” and, together with any relevant
Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”) and, as applicable, are further described below
under “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss.” Investors in the Funds
participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but in certain circumstances
are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other agreed-upon
circumstances pursuant to the Governing Documents; such arrangements generally do not and will
not create an adviser-client relationship between the Adviser and any investor. The Funds or the
General Partners generally enter into side letters or other similar agreements (“Side Letters”) with
certain investors that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the
terms (including economic or other terms) of, the Governing Documents with respect to such
investors.
Additionally, from time to time and as permitted by the Governing Documents, BroadLight
reserves the right to provide (or agree to provide) co-investment opportunities (including the
opportunity to participate in co-invest vehicles) to certain investors, Limited Partners (as defined
below) or other persons, including other sponsors, market participants, finders, consultants,
Executive Advisory Board (as defined below) members and other service providers, BroadLight’s
personnel and/or certain other persons associated with BroadLight and/or its affiliates. Such co-
investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio
company at the same time and on the same terms as the Fund making the investment. However,
from time to time, for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or co-invest vehicle (including a
co-investing Fund) purchases a portion of an investment from one or more Funds after such Funds
have consummated their investment in the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell-
down or transfer), which generally will have been funded through Fund investor capital
contributions and/or use of a Fund credit facility. Any such purchase from a Fund by a co-investor
or co-invest vehicle generally occurs shortly after the Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid
any changes in valuation of the investment. Where appropriate, and in BroadLight’s sole
discretion, BroadLight reserves the right to charge interest on the purchase to the co-investor or
co-invest vehicle (or otherwise equitably to adjust the purchase price under certain conditions),
and to seek reimbursement to the relevant Fund for related costs. However, to the extent such
amounts are not so charged or reimbursed, they generally will be borne by the relevant Fund.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser managed $212,294,980 in client assets on a
discretionary basis. The Adviser is principally owned by David Dorfman, who serves as the
Adviser’s Managing Partner, Rick Yorn, Kevin Yorn, Azimut Alternative Capital Partners, LLC
(collectively, the “Principals”).
