A. Description of the Firm

is the general partner of ClearAlpha. Brian Hurst, Sean Terretta, and Elisha Wiesel serve as the

B. Description of Advisory Services
ClearAlpha serves as the investment adviser and provides discretionary investment advisory services
to private pooled investment vehicles, of which interests are offered to investors on a private
placement basis. Additionally, ClearAlpha provides non-discretionary investment advisory services
to institutional investors.
In particular, ClearAlpha serves as the investment adviser and provides discretionary investment
advisory services to Niche Plus Master Fund Ltd (the “Master Fund”), Niche Plus Onshore Fund LP
(the “Onshore Feeder”) and Niche Plus Offshore Fund Ltd (the “Offshore Feeder” and, collectively
with the Master Fund and the Onshore Feeder, the “Fund”). The Fund is organized as a master-
feeder structure with the Onshore Feeder and the Offshore Feeder each investing all of their
investable assets, other than assets invested in a cash account of each feeder Fund established for
a specific share class (Class M), in the Master Fund. The assets of the cash accounts are held in
cash and/or money market-equivalent investments and may be invested in U.S. treasury bills. The
Fund may also make investments, enter into transactions, or effect one or more of its investment
strategies directly or indirectly through any subsidiary, special purpose vehicle, alternative investment
vehicle, holding company, or other similar entity formed in respect of the Fund which enables the
Fund to carry out its purpose (each, a “fund vehicle”) from time to time. Accordingly, references to
the term Fund as used in this Brochure in the context of the Fund’s portfolio, investment program, or
related risks should be understood to mean the Fund and/or any other fund vehicle through which
the Fund makes investments, enters into transactions, or effects its investment strategies.
The Fund is managed according to the investment objectives and guidelines outlined in its governing
documents. Broadly, ClearAlpha aims to achieve its overall investment objective of achieving capital
appreciation of its assets at attractive risk-adjusted rates of return by allocating the Fund’s capital
across a diversified range of investment strategies. These strategies are managed by various
investment teams, including “Internal Investment
Teams” (personnel employed by ClearAlpha) and
“External Investment Teams” (personnel employed by unaffiliated third-party sub-advisors).
Together, these teams are collectively referred to as “Investment Teams”. A more detailed
description of the Fund’s investment program can be found in Item 8 of this brochure and in the
Fund’s governing documents.
ClearAlpha may, at times, provide non-discretionary investment advice to institutional investors,
including Fund investors and/or prospective investors. Non-discretionary investment advisory
services will vary from client to client based on their individual needs and may include providing
customized asset allocation (strategic and tactical) advice, active risk budgeting, asset class portfolio
structuring, risk assessments, educational programs, and investment recommendations.
As used throughout, the term “client” refers to the Fund and non-discretionary investment advisory
clients.
The descriptions set forth in this Brochure are of the specific advisory services that ClearAlpha
provides to the Fund, the investment strategies we pursue, and the investments we make, on behalf
of the Fund. It also includes a description of the non-discretionary investment advisory services that
we may provide to institutional investors. The descriptions should not be understood to limit in any
way our investment activities. We may offer any advisory services, engage in any investment
strategy, and make any investment (including those not described in this Brochure) which we
consider appropriate, subject to the investment objectives and guidelines of each client. The
investment strategies we pursue are speculative and entail substantial risks. Investors in the Fund
should be prepared to bear a substantial loss of capital. There can be no assurance that the
investment objectives of the Fund will be achieved.
C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients
ClearAlpha’s advisory services emphasize the customization of solutions for each client. ClearAlpha
does not provide customized investment advice to underlying investors in the Fund except to the
extent that they are also non-discretionary investment advisory clients of ClearAlpha.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
ClearAlpha does not currently participate in any Wrap Fee Program.
E. Assets Under Management
