S Squared Technology, LLC (the "Firm"), based in New York, has been a
registered investment adviser since 2005, having succeeded its predecessor S Squared
Technology, Corp., which had been a registered investment adviser since 1986. Through
2014, the Firm was principally owned by Seymour L. Goldblatt and by The Kenneth
Goldblatt 2003 Trust. Effective January 1, 2015, Seymour L. Goldblatt assigned his
interest in the Firm to Seymour Goldblatt 2012 Revocable Trust. Therefore, effective as
of that date, the Firm was principally owned by Seymour Goldblatt 2012 Revocable Trust
and The Kenneth Goldblatt 2003 Trust. On July 1, 2019, the Seymour Goldblatt 2012
Revocable Trust assigned its interest in the Firm to Kenneth Goldblatt. The Firm is now
owned by The Kenneth Goldblatt 2003 Trust and Kenneth Goldblatt.
The Firm provides discretionary investment management services to individuals
and institutional investors (“Clients”) through one private investment fund (“Fund”).
Although it has done so in the past and may do so in the future, the Firm is not currently
providing investment management service to separately managed accounts. The Firm’s
investment strategy involves investments primarily in U.S. publicly traded equity securities
of companies in the technology and life science sectors. These companies may be
engaged in, among other industries, biotechnology, communications, computers,
computer software, electronics, health care, internet, medical technology, or,
semiconductors (“Technology Securities”). The Firm invests in a range of Technology
Securities,
including equity securities, both long, and short, warrants, debt securities,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities, options contracts
on securities, investments in non-publicly traded securities, private investments in public
companies and interests in pooled investment vehicles. Specific information about
investments made for the Fund and separately managed accounts (when applicable) may
be found in the confidential private placement memorandum (“Memorandum”) and
investment management agreements relating to such Fund or, when applicable, managed
accounts.
Prior to accepting a new client, the Firm makes reasonable efforts to obtain
information concerning a prospective investor’s financial status, tax status, investment
objectives and other relevant information to make certain that holdings of Technology
Securities are suitable. The Firm generally does not tailor its advisory services to the
needs of specific Clients. The Fund is governed by its respective Memorandum, and
separately managed accounts (when applicable) are governed by their respective
investment management agreements. A separately managed account Client may impose
certain restrictions regarding investing in certain securities or types of securities or may
require that a certain minimum or maximum level of cash be maintained for its account.
The Firm does not participate in wrap fee programs.
As of December 31, 2023, the Firm has approximately $269 million under
management, all on a discretionary basis, all of which was managed by the Firm.
