Firm Business
Dextra Advisors LLC (together with its fund general partners (unless otherwise specified),
“Dextra” or the “Firm”), a Delaware limited liability company, is an alternatives asset
management firm based in New York. Founded in 2021, Dextra seeks to provide global
investors access to attractive middle market opportunities through a long-term and
partnership-oriented approach. Dextra focuses on building strong relationships with a
focused portfolio of top-performing private equity sponsors and providing holistic solutions
to those sponsors through primary limited partner commitments, general partner
seeding/staking and secondaries, complemented by direct investments such as equity co-
investments and private debt.
Dextra serves as the investment adviser for, and provides discretionary investment advisory
services to, private funds, including comingled pooled investment vehicles and funds-of-
one.
Each collective investment vehicle or fund-of-one managed or advised by Dextra, Dextra
Partners LLC or any of their respective affiliates, together with any parallel investment
vehicles, alternative investment vehicles or other vehicles or accounts formed at any time in
connection with any of the foregoing (each, a “Fund”) are affiliated with a general partner or
managing member (each, a “General Partner”) with authority to make investment decisions
on behalf of the Fund. The applicable General Partner of each Fund retains investment
discretion and investors 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,
Dextra has been designated the role of investment adviser.
Advisory Services
Dextra’s investment advisory services 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
other private funds and nonpublic companies.
Dextra’s investment advice and authority for each Fund are tailored to the investment
objectives of that Fund; Dextra does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of
investors 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
investors determine the suitability of an investment in a Fund based on, among other things,
the Governing Documents. The Firm neither seeks nor requires investor approval regarding
each investment decision made on behalf of a Fund. Investors in the fund-of-one mandates
are permitted to customize the services obtained on their behalf as well as the fee and
liquidity terms.
Fund investors generally are unable to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities
or types of securities, other than through side letter agreements, or with respect to fund-of-
one mandates, through their Governing Documents. Investors in the Funds are expected to
participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund and generally cannot
be excused from a particular investment except in certain circumstances pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Governing Documents. However, in accordance with industry
common practice, Dextra 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 Dextra, in each case that
have the effect of granting such investor specific rights, benefits or privileges that are not
generally made available to all investors. See Item 8 below for more details.
