Whitehorse is an independent private equity firm focused on providing structured liquidity solutions to
the alternative asset class. Whitehorse was formed in 2015 and is principally owned by Yann Robard,
who is also its Managing Partner. Whitehorse’s Leadership Team (as defined below) focuses on the
strategic direction and management of the Firm and is currently comprised of Yann Robard, Michael
Gubbels, Giorgio Riva, Rob Gavin, Joshua Booth, Julian Mirsky, Marilia Bothamley, Derek Miners, Matt
Kuchinsky, Chris Englert and Jennifer McGoey (the “Leadership Team”), who collectively have over 180
years of total experience in investing, managing and administering private equity investments, including
the structuring and execution of complex secondary transactions.
Whitehorse’s clients are primarily structured as limited partnership vehicles (each a “Fund” and
collectively, together with any future private investment fund or other account managed by Whitehorse
and/or its affiliates, the “Funds”) in which investors are limited partners and a Whitehorse entity serves
as the general partner (each, a “General Partner”), although Whitehorse could in the future establish
separate accounts pursuant to limited partnership agreements (or analogous documents) or separate
investment management agreements and could establish one or more other investment vehicles other
than Funds. Each General Partner is deemed registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended (the “Advisers Act”) pursuant to Whitehorse’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance.
This Brochure also describes the business practices of the General Partners, which operate as a single
advisory business together with Whitehorse. References in this document to the General Partner of a
Fund will, with respect to any such Fund, refer to Whitehorse or any affiliate having ultimate
responsibility and authority in respect of such Fund, as applicable.
Whitehorse and each General Partner tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives
and restrictions of each Fund as provided in the specific Fund’s limited partnership agreement,
confidential private placement memorandum, investment management agreement and/or other
governing documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Investors (generally referred to
herein as “investors” or “limited partners”) and prospective investors of each Fund should refer to the
Governing Documents of the applicable Fund for complete information on the investment objectives
and restrictions with respect to such Fund. There is no assurance that any Fund’s investment objectives
will be achieved.
Investors in the Funds participate in the overall investment program of the applicable Fund, but in
certain circumstances, are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other agreed-
upon circumstances pursuant to the Governing Documents or a Side Letter (as defined below). For the
avoidance of doubt, such arrangements generally do not and will not create an adviser-client
relationship between Whitehorse and any investor.
In accordance with common industry
practice, the Funds and/or the General Partners are permitted to
enter “side letters” or other similar agreements (“Side Letters”) with certain investors that have the
effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms (including economic or other
terms) of, the Governing Documents with respect to such investors that are not made available to
investors in the Funds generally. These agreements will generally be disclosed only to those actual or
potential investors in a Fund that have separately negotiated with the General Partner of the Fund for
the right to review these agreements.
Additionally, as permitted by the Governing Documents, Whitehorse expects to provide (or agrees to
provide) investment or co-investment opportunities (including the opportunity to participate in co-
invest vehicles) to certain current or prospective investors or other persons, including other sponsors,
market participants, finders, consultants, potential investors and/or service providers alongside one or
more of a particular Fund’s transactions. Such co-investments typically involve investment and disposal
of interests in the applicable portfolio investment at the same time and on the same terms as the Fund
making the investment. However, for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or co-invest vehicle
(including a co-investing Fund) will purchase a portion of an investment from one or more Funds after
such Funds have consummated the portfolio investment (also known as a post-closing syndication, sell-
down or transfer), which generally will have been initially funded through use of a Fund credit facility
and/or capital contributions from investors. Any such purchase from a Fund by a co-investor or co-invest
vehicle generally occurs as soon as practicable after completion of the investment, but in certain
instances could be well after the Fund’s initial purchase. Any such transfer will, unless otherwise
reasonably determined by the General Partner, generally be effected at a price (paid by the transferee
entity to the transferor entity) equal to cost and pro-rated acquisition expenses plus, if capital has been
contributed with respect to such investment, either (i) interest computed at a rate equal to the
borrowing-related costs as if such investment were made using a subscription facility (net of any
applicable distributions) prior to the investment becoming a permanent portfolio investment of such
Fund or (ii) interest computed at a rate equal to a fixed annual rate compounded quarterly on such
contributions (net of any applicable distributions) if such investment became a permanent portfolio
investment of such Fund, in each case subject to the applicable Governing Documents. However, to the
extent any such amounts are not so charged or reimbursed, they generally will be borne by the relevant
Fund.
Whitehorse does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
The Firm has regulatory assets under management of $14,433,854,024 as of December 31, 2023, all
managed on a discretionary basis. Regulatory assets under management as noted herein include
committed capital for the Funds.
