The Baupost Group, L.L.C. (“Baupost”) was formed in May 1982 (originally as The Baupost
Group, Inc.). Baupost is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Baupost’s Chief Executive
Officer and principal owner, Seth A. Klarman, serves as Portfolio Manager and has been managing
the investments of Baupost’s clients since the company’s inception. Baupost is the managing
general partner to eleven domestic investment limited partnerships (each, a “Partnership,”
collectively, the “Baupost Partnerships”). All of the Baupost Partnerships are privately offered
investment vehicles exempt from registration as investment companies under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Baupost Partners, L.L.C. (“Baupost
Partners”), an affiliate of Baupost, serves as profit sharing general partner to the Baupost
Partnerships (together with Baupost, the “General Partners”). Baupost has no ownership interest
in Baupost Partners, but certain indirect owners and employees of Baupost are members of Baupost
Partners.
As managing general partner of each Partnership, Baupost is solely responsible for the
management and administration of such Partnership, including the making of all investment
decisions on behalf of such Partnership and the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of
investments.
Baupost manages each Partnership pursuant to the investment strategy set forth in such
Partnership’s limited partnership agreement (“LP Agreement”) and, if applicable, offering
memorandum. The Baupost Partnerships invest in a wide range of public and private securities
and assets. Baupost does not provide specifically tailored investment advice to investors in the
Baupost Partnerships, and investors may not impose investment restrictions on their investments
in the Baupost Partnerships.
Contributions to and withdrawals from the Baupost Partnerships
are subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the respective LP Agreements of the Baupost Partnerships in which
investors are invested. Investors in the Baupost Partnerships are subject to restrictions on their
ability to withdraw capital from the Baupost Partnerships. Baupost has the right, in its sole
discretion, to waive or alter some or all of the applicable restrictions on capital withdrawals and
contributions (for example, notice periods, withdrawal of the portion of capital allocated to
restricted investments (which are generally illiquid investments designated as restricted
investments in the judgment of Baupost pursuant to certain of the LP Agreements), and other
matters) or on transfers of limited partnership interests for investors as set forth in each
Partnership’s LP Agreement and, if applicable, offering memorandum, and Baupost generally does
waive notice periods for employees and certain former employees.
The Baupost Partnerships indirectly own a platform of affiliated entities located in Luxembourg
to facilitate investment in European real estate and related assets (the “European Investment
Platform”). In 2019, the European Investment Platform established an entity that will provide
accounting, administrative, legal and corporate secretarial support services, and may also provide
other support services, to certain Luxembourg investment vehicles in which the Baupost
Partnerships indirectly invest.
Investors are urged to review the relevant LP Agreement and, if applicable, offering memorandum
for additional information about matters addressed in this and other items throughout this
Brochure.
As of December 31, 2023, Baupost’s regulatory assets under management were approximately
$24,767,034,506, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Baupost does not manage
assets on a non-discretionary basis.
