owned subsidiary of Focus Operating, LLC (“Focus Operating”), which is, directly and indirectly, a wholly-owned

Types of Advisory Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services to individuals and corporations, and
private funds.
Discretionary portfolio management means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in
your account without contacting you. These decisions would be made based upon your stated investment
objectives. Clients may limit our discretionary authority by, for example, setting a limit on the type of securities
that can be purchased for their account. Simply provide us with your reasonable restrictions in writing. We reserve
the right, in our sole discretion, to reject any such restrictions. Non-discretionary portfolio management service
means that we must obtain your approval prior to making any transactions in your account.
Our portfolio management services are based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance
of each client. Octogone gathers risk tolerance and suitability information from each client, which outlines the
client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a portfolio that is
designed to match each client’s specific situation.
Octogone does not specialize in specific types of securities. We can advise clients on various types of securities,
such as exchange listed equities, over the counter equities, foreign issues,
American depository receipts,
corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company
securities (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), US Government securities, options contracts on
securities and/or commodities, private equity instruments, and interests in partnership investing in real estate.
Additionally, we will provide advice on existing investments you may hold at the inception of the advisory
relationship or on other types of investments for which you ask advice.
If you engage us for portfolio management services, we will monitor your portfolio’s performance on a continuous
basis, and rebalance the portfolio whenever necessary, as changes occur in market conditions and/or your
financial circumstances.
Octogone also acts as the General Partner and/or the investment manager of Octogone Partners Fund LP,
Octogone Partners Fund International Ltd., Octogone Real Estate Fund I LLC, Cresthill Holdings Fund, Inc., Delphi
Arbitrage Fund, Ltd., Delphi Global Limited, and The PRS Newport Fund, (the “Funds”). The Funds are private
investment funds. Accordingly, interests in the Funds are offered and sold exclusively to investors satisfying the
applicable eligibility and suitability requirements in private transactions.
Octogone provides investment advisory services to the Funds through the management of investment portfolios
in accordance with the objectives and guidelines of the Funds as stated in each private placement memorandum
or equivalent disclosure document. The investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial circumstances are
described in more detail in each Fund’s subscription documents. Further disclosures about the Funds, and the
conflicts of interest associated with these investments are provided in Item 10 and Item 11 below.
Delegation to Sub-Advisers
We may use one or more sub-advisers to manage all or a portion of your account. The sub-adviser will actively
manage the client’s portfolio and will assume investment discretionary and trading authority over the managed
account. Octogone will not actively manage the assets in any account managed by the sub-adviser. However,
Octogone will have discretionary authority to hire and terminate sub-advisers and reallocate the client’s assets to
other sub-advisers, when such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the client. In some circumstances,
Octogone may also obtain investment discretion or trading authority over client assets managed by the sub-
adviser. At this time, one of the sub-advisers recommended by Octogone is Octogone Gestion SARL, a foreign
investment adviser that is under common ownership with Octogone. Further information about Octogone
Gestion SARL is disclosed in Item 10 below.
Adviser Liability
As a fiduciary, we have duties of care and of loyalty to you and are subject to obligations imposed on us by the
federal and state securities laws. As a result, you have certain rights that you cannot waive or limit by contract.
Nothing in our agreement with you should be interpreted as a limitation of our obligations under the federal and
state securities laws or as a waiver of any unwaivable rights you possess.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not sponsor, manage, or participate in any wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management
As of the most recent valuation date for client assets, December 31, 2023, Octogone managed $203,880,454 on
