Illumen Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”
or “Illumen Capital” or “we”), commenced operations in 2017 and is principally owned by Norris
(Daryn) A. Dodson, IV (the “Principal”) and Lyric Capital LLC. The Adviser provides
discretionary investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles that are exempt from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and whose
securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The private investment funds that Illumen Capital manages are private equity funds of
funds focused on investing in impact-generating private funds. The Adviser is dedicated to
expanding equity and opportunity for people of color and women within the capital markets. The
firm advances its mission by investing in private equity, venture, and growth funds, and
subsequently delivering evidence-based coaching and tools designed to reduce implicit racial and
gender bias. Illumen Capital is focused on identifying and coaching fund managers with market-
driven investment strategies to address the complex, exponentially-growing challenges of climate
change, underperforming education systems, inefficient healthcare, inaccessible financial markets,
and non-inclusive systems of products and services that have historically excluded
underrepresented populations of color or women.
Illumen Capital’s clients include the following (each, a “Fund,” and together with any
future private investment fund to which Illumen Capital
provides investment advisory services,
the “Funds”):
• Illumen Capital, LP;
• Illumen Capital PRI, LP;
• Illumen Capital II, LP;
• Illumen Capital II A, LP; and
• Illumen Catalyst Fund, LP.
Racial and gender bias is believed to impede the flow of capital to entrepreneurs and
communities who have historically been overlooked and underestimated. By reducing implicit
bias among fund managers, the Funds intend to increase access to capital for enterprises and
communities that have been marginalized by race, gender, geography, and depth of poverty.
The investment strategy of each Fund is not tailored to particular investors, and investors
cannot impose restrictions on any of the Funds’ investments.
Illumen Capital’s advisory services to the Funds are detailed in the applicable private
placement memoranda, disclosure document, or other offering documents (each, a
“Memorandum”) and/or limited partnership or other operating agreements, service agreements or
governing documents (each, a “Fund Agreement” and, as applicable, together with any relevant
Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”) and are summarized below under “Methods of
Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss,” as applicable. Investors in the Funds participate
in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund.
We do not currently participate in any Wrap Fee Programs.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser managed approximately $277,602,529 in client
assets on a discretionary basis.
