investment and portfolio management services to affiliated and unaffiliated
privately offered pooled investment vehicles
1 (the “Advisory Clients” or
“Clients”). Pursuant to investment management agreements with each Client, the
Firm has discretion to formulate investment objectives, direct and manage the
investment and re-investment of Client assets.
The investment objectives of the Client portfolios are generally: (i) building of
capital in up markets; (ii) preservation of capital in down markets; and (iii) risk
adjusted performance relative to general global equity markets over short-,
medium-, and long-term time horizons. Lucashill seeks to achieve these objectives
through a multi-manager, multi-strategy, diversified investment approach,
commonly referred to as “fund-of-funds”.
As discussed in the relevant Client governing documents, the Firm’s unaffiliated
Clients invest in various alternative asset classes in the form of third-party
managed private funds or similar investment vehicles, or less commonly, separately
managed accounts that, in turn, employ a wide variety of investment strategies.
The third-party investment managers of the various funds or accounts which
Lucashill selects may focus their investment in specific industry sectors or market
segments, and/or geographic areas. The third-party investment managers typically
employ fundamental, bottoms-up analysis to reach investment decisions and may
employ borrowing or other forms of leverage. The Firm uses numerous selection
criteria to identify qualified third-party investment managers with demonstrated
records of investment results; however, Lucashill may also invest with other third-
party investment managers likely to meet the Clients’ criteria for long-term,
higher
results which may not have demonstrated records of investment results.
The affiliated Clients follow a similar strategy as the unaffiliated Clients, while also
engaging in revenue sharing arrangements with, or making minority equity
investments in, third-party managers of the unaffiliated Clients (“Underlying
Managers”), and other third-party investment managers. The affiliated Clients
primarily invest in open-ended third-party managed funds or accounts that invest in
public equities, have limited capacities, and have a specialized focus, as well as
related revenue sharing arrangements with Underlying Managers and investments
in unrelated third-party managers. In addition, on occasion, the affiliated Clients

may invest in private equity, venture capital, and other less-liquid funds or
accounts managed by third-party managers. Please see Item 8, Methods of

investments, including Advisory Client objectives, limitations and strategies are
governed exclusively by the terms of the private placement memorandum,
operating agreement, and investment management agreement (collectively, the
“Governing Documents”) for each Advisory Client. Specific client investment
strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the Advisory Clients’
investment objectives. The Advisory Clients may impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or types of securities. Investors in the vehicles to which Lucashill
serves as an adviser (“Investors”) cannot generally place such investment
restrictions upon Lucashill and may not tailor Lucashill’s advisory services to their
individual requirements.
