Founded in 2010, Wazee Street Capital Management LLC (together with its fund general partners
(unless otherwise specified), “Wazee Street” or the “Firm”), is a Denver, Colorado based private debt
firm investing in corporate distressed securities.
Wazee Street serves as the investment adviser for, and provides discretionary investment advisory
services to, the following private funds: Wazee Street Opportunities Fund IV LP (“Fund IV”); Wazee
Street Opportunities Fund V LP (“Fund V”); and WSOF V Splitter LP (“Fund V Splitter”), along
with WSOF V Feeder LP, its feeder fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
Each Fund is affiliated with a general partner (“General Partner”) with authority to make investment
decisions on behalf of the Funds. These General Partners are deemed registered under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Advisers
Act”), pursuant to Wazee Street’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. The applicable
General Partner retains investment discretion and limited partners in the Funds do not participate in
the control or management of the Funds. While the General Partners maintain ultimate authority
over the respective Funds, Wazee Street has been designated the role of investment adviser. For more
information about the Funds and General Partners, please see Wazee Street’s Form ADV Part 1,
Schedule D, Section 7.A. and Section 7.B.(1).
Wazee Street’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 of such investments. While all of the Funds share in the same
general investment strategy and objectives, Fund V is subject to a restricted trading list on behalf of
one of its limited partners.
Wazee Street’s investment advice and authority for each Fund is tailored to the investment objectives
of that Fund; Wazee Street does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of limited
partners in its Funds. The Fund investment objectives are described in and governed by, as applicable,
the private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, subscription agreements,
investment advisory agreements, side letter agreements and other governing documents of the relevant
Fund (collectively, “Governing Documents”) and limited partners determine the suitability of an
investment in a Fund based on, among other things, the Governing Documents. The Firm does not
seek or require limited partner approval regarding each investment decision.
Limited partners generally cannot impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities, other than through side letter agreements. Limited partners in the Funds participate in the
overall investment program for the applicable Fund and generally cannot be excused from a particular
investment except pursuant to the terms of the applicable Governing Documents. In accordance with
industry common practice, Wazee Street has entered into side letters or similar agreements with certain
limited partners, including those who make substantial commitments of capital or were early-stage
limited partners in the Funds, or for other reasons in the sole discretion of Wazee Street, in each case
that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, a Fund’s Governing
Documents. Examples of side letters entered into include capacity rights for future funds, co-
investment rights, certain fee arrangements (including revenue sharing arrangements and carried
interest sharing), notification provisions, reporting requirements, advisory committee participation
and “most favored nations” provisions, among others. These rights, benefits or privileges are not
always made available to all limited partners, consistent with the Governing Documents and general
market practice. Commencing in March 2025, Wazee Street will make required disclosure of certain
side letters to all limited partners (and in certain cases, to prospective limited partners) in accordance
with the new Private Fund Rule. Side letters are negotiated at the time of the relevant limited partner’s
capital commitment, and once invested in a Fund, limited partners generally cannot impose additional
investment guidelines or restrictions on such Fund. There can be no assurance that the side letter
rights granted to one or more limited partners will not in certain cases disadvantage other limited
partners. For more information about the potential conflicts of interest posed by certain side letters,
please see Item 8, “Strategic Relationships with Certain Limited Partners.”
Principals Owners
Wazee Street is majority owned by Chief Investment Officer and Founder (“Chief Investment
Officer”) Michael Collins. Other investors maintain an indirect minority ownership interest in Wazee
Street (but not large enough to be reported on the Firm’s Form ADV Part 1). Such minority investors
do not have any authority over the day-to-day operations or investment decisions of Wazee Street as
they relate to the Funds and do not maintain a seat on any Fund advisory committees. These investors
pay full management fees and full carried interest in the Wazee Street Funds in which they are invested.
For more information about the potential conflicts of interest posed by this ownership interest, please
see Item 8, “Strategic Relationships with Certain Limited Partners.”
Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, Wazee Street managed approximately $145,900,170 in Fund regulatory
assets, all managed on a discretionary basis.
