A. Description of the Firm
Overbrook Management Corporation (“Overbrook”) (the “Investment Manager” or “we”) is a
privately-owned corporation, headquartered in New York, New York. Overbrook is responsible
for carrying out the day-to-day investment activities of the private funds and the separately
management accounts. Overbrook was founded in 1946 by the late Frank Altschul, managing
partner of Lazard Frères and founder of General American Investors, to manage the wealth of the
Altschul family. In 2002, Overbrook became a wealth management firm and family office to
outside investors. Overbrook is currently wholly owned by Arthur G. Altschul, Jr.
We provide a wide range of investment management and family office services to meet the needs
of clients with diverse investment objectives. While the objectives may vary, particularly as they
pertain to risk tolerance and equity/reserve ratios, the primary investment objective sought on
behalf of clients is wealth preservation with an eye towards maximizing long-term capital
appreciation.
B. Types of Advisory Services
As an investment adviser, we provide discretionary investment management services and design,
structure and implement investment strategies for separately managed portfolio accounts. For a
detailed discussion of our strategies, please see “Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss” below. We currently provide the following types of investment
management services:
Portfolio Management Services
We provide discretionary and, on a limited basis, non-discretionary portfolio management
services tailored to meet the needs and investment objectives of our clients. Based on meetings,
conversations or other communications with clients, we determine their investment objectives,
risk tolerance, and other relevant information (the "suitability information") at the beginning of
our advisory relationship. We use the suitability information we gather to develop a strategy that
enables our firm to give our clients continuous and focused investment advice. As part of our
portfolio management services, we work closely with clients to determine their personal risk
tolerance and investing objectives. We then monitor each portfolio’s performance on an ongoing
basis and rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and/or client
financial circumstances.
We provide ongoing discretionary investment management services to institutional and
individual clients with respect to assets held in the client’s custodial account (collectively,
“Separate Accounts”) based on customized investment objectives or guidelines, time horizons,
risk tolerances, tax considerations, policies and limitations of such clients. Clients engaging us to
provide discretionary portfolio management services are required to grant Overbrook
discretionary authority to manage their accounts. Discretionary authorization allows our firm to
determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for each
account without client approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically
granted by the investment advisory agreement that documents our relationship.
For many high net worth clients’ Separate Accounts, Overbrook provides an investment strategy
covering a broad range of securities, including but not limited to large-cap equities, mid-cap
equities, fixed income investments, real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships.
Additionally, for certain qualified clients, Overbrook may invest in alternative investments to
augment investment returns, provide diversification and reduce portfolio volatility. Alternative
investments include hedge funds, private equity, and real estate, among others. Alternative
investment strategies may only be suitable for certain
type of clients.
If clients enter into non-discretionary arrangements (“Non-Discretionary Accounts”) with
Overbrook, we provide advice on accounts which are not managed by Overbrook (e.g., 401k
accounts). Such advice will only be furnished on a periodic and non-continuous basis. It is our
clients’ responsibility to act on any of the recommendations we provide and to initiate a request
for review of such accounts.
Private Investment Vehicles
We act as the Managing Member and the investment manager providing discretionary investment
management services to a privately offered investment vehicle : Overbrook Private Equity, LLC, as
well as, the investment manager to the Overbrook Core Equity Fund, LP (collectively, the “Private
Fund”).
The Private Fund offers clients the opportunity to participate in alternative investments such
private equity funds managed by outside advisory firms which would otherwise require a more
substantial capital commitment.
The Private Fund is not registered under the Investment Company Act and their shares or
interests, as applicable, are not registered under the Securities Act. Accordingly, they are not
publicly offered in the United States. Such Private Funds may or may not be continuously offered.
We also provide administrative services to an unaffiliated private funds which were previously
under Overbrook’s management.
For more details regarding the Private Fund, please refer to Section 7.B. of Schedule D of Part 1 of
Overbrook’s Form ADV which is publicly available a
t www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Family Office & Reporting Services
We may provide family office services to many clients in addition to investment advisory services.
Family office services include, but are not limited to: coordination of tax and estate planning, bill-
paying and expense management, cash flow/liquidity management, domestics’ payroll, tax
assistance, bookkeeping, and various personal services.
We also offer reporting services to our clients separately from investment advisory services.
Reporting services include preparation of quarterly reports consolidating client investment assets
managed by Overbrook, if any, with those managed by other investment advisers or the client
directly.
Certain clients may be receiving family office services and/or reporting services only; with no
investment advice provided to these clients. Such services are non-advisory in nature.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Tailored Restrictions
We generally offer the same type of investment management services to all of our clients. We
enter into discretionary and, on a limited basis, non-discretionary investment management
agreements with our clients. See Item 16 for additional information on discretionary and
nondiscretionary services. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions in investing in certain
securities or other assets in accordance with their particular needs. However, we may decide not
to accommodate investment restrictions deemed unduly burdensome or materially incompatible
with Overbrook’s investment approach.
We enter into discretionary investment management agreements with the Private Funds.
Services are performed in accordance with the terms of each such agreement. Each Private Fund
may impose investment restrictions as it deems appropriate. Such investment restrictions are
typically set forth in the offering memorandum (“Offering Memorandum”) for each Private Fund.

Overbrook does not participate in wrap programs.
