Brochure Summary

Overview

Compass Group Management, LLC (“Compass,” the “Firm,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a Missouri Limited Liability Company, was organized in 2015 and is headquartered in St. Louis, MO. Compass is a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass Group Holdings, LP (“Compass Group Holdings”), which is ultimately owned by Mr. John Huhn and Mr. Chris Gibson through entities under their control. Messrs. John Huhn and Chris Gibson control and are the principals of Compass and Compass Group Holdings. Compass invests in lower middle-market companies, bringing to management a mix of capital, hands-on support, and value-add expertise to accelerate growth, exceed historical performance and add value to a business. Compass provides investment advisory services to privately pooled private equity funds exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Compass also provides discretionary investment advisory services to co-investment special purpose funds established to invest alongside a fund in a single portfolio company (each, a “Co-Investment Fund” and collectively with the Funds, the “Funds” unless the context otherwise requires). In limited circumstances, as more fully described in Item 7 below, the Firm permits certain investors and third parties to co-invest alongside a Fund directly into a portfolio company. Unlike the Co-Investment Funds mentioned above, such direct co-investments are not considered Funds or clients of Compass. Each Fund is affiliated with a general partner (each, a “General Partner” and collectively, the “General Partners”). The General Partners have ultimate responsibility for decisions relating to management and operations made on behalf of the Funds and have ultimate responsibility for the investment decisions made on behalf of the Funds. Each General Partner has delegated investment management and advisory responsibilities for the Funds to Compass. For purposes of this Brochure, references to Compass shall include the General Partners, unless the context otherwise requires. The Funds invest through privately negotiated transactions in operating companies, generally referred to as “portfolio companies”. Each portfolio company has its own independent management team responsible for managing its day-to-day operations, although (i) members of Compass or representatives appointed by the Firm are expected to serve on the boards of, or otherwise act to influence control of the management of, such portfolio companies and will therefore have a significant impact on the long-term direction of the company, including at times the selection of management team members and (ii) in some cases, Compass will more directly influence the day-to-day management of a portfolio company by recruiting and installing certain individuals in various leadership roles, such as chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer or other roles. Compass’ 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. Investments are made predominantly in lower middle market nonpublic companies. Compass will manage the Funds pursuant to investment guidelines set forth in the relevant governing and offering documents of each Fund, including any Limited Partnership Agreement, Investment Management Agreement, Private Placement Memorandum and/or Subscription Agreement (each, an “Offering Document,” and collectively, the “Offering Documents”). The Offering Documents contain more detailed information about the Funds, including a description of the investment objective and strategy or strategies employed by the Funds and related restrictions that serve as a limitation on Compass’ advice or management. Compass will not tailor its advisory services to the individual investors in a particular Fund (each an “Investor” or “Limited Partner” and collectively the “Investors” or “Limited Partners”), or provide Investors with the right to specify, or restrict a Fund’s investment objectives or any investment decisions. Investors in the Funds participate in the overall investment strategy for the applicable Fund and generally cannot be excused from a particular investment except in certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the applicable Offering Documents. In accordance with industry common practice, Compass has entered into side letters or similar agreements with certain Investors including those who make substantial commitments of capital or were early-stage Investors in the Funds, or for other reasons in the sole discretion of Compass, in each case that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, a Fund’s Offering Documents. Examples of side letters entered into include provisions whereby Investors have expressed an interest in participating in co-investment opportunities, Limited Partner advisory committee representation, certain fee arrangements, notification provisions, opt-out rights, reporting requirements and “most favored nations” provisions, among others. These rights, benefits or privileges are not always made available to all Investors, consistent with the Offering Documents and general market practice. Commencing in March 2025, Compass will make required disclosure of certain side letters to all Investors (and in certain cases, to prospective Investors) in accordance with the new Private Fund Rule. Side letters are negotiated at the time of the relevant Investor’s capital commitment, and once invested in a Fund, Investors 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 Investors will not in certain cases disadvantage other Investors. Compass does not participate in wrap fee programs. As of December 31, 2023, Compass managed $430,211,313 in regulatory assets under management (“RAUM”), all on a discretionary basis.
