Anchorage was founded in 2003 and became registered with the SEC as an
investment adviser on January 27, 2006. Anchorage provides discretionary
investment advisory services including, but not limited to, managing and
directing the investment of assets for private investment funds (each a “Fund”
and together the “Funds” or “Advisory Clients”).
Anchorage manages assets across a credit-oriented product platform primarily
consisting of:
• “Evergreen Funds” – Anchorage manages the Anchorage Capital
Partners Funds (“ACP Funds”). Anchorage is in the process of returning
capital to Investors and as such has suspended redemptions and
withdrawals from the ACP Funds.
• “Drawdown Funds” – Anchorage manages a number of drawdown
funds, which primarily consist of the Anchorage Illiquid Opportunities
Funds (“AIO Funds”) and Anchorage Structured Credit Master Fund,
L.P. (“SCF”).
Please refer to Item 8.A below for investment strategy information.
Kevin Ulrich is the majority owner of Anchorage through his indirect ownership
of interests in Anchorage Advisors Management, L.L.C. Mr. Ulrich is
responsible for overseeing the portfolio management, risk management, asset
allocation, and investment decisions with respect to the Funds and he has ultimate
management and investment decision-making responsibility over the Funds.
Certain affiliated entities, as noted above, were relying advisers under
Anchorage’s Form ADV. As of January 2, 2024, certain of those entities, now
noted as Anchorage Capital Advisors, L.P. (“ACA”) (f/k/a Anchorage Advisor
Holdings, L.P.) and its relying advisers, are separately registered as investment
advisers with the SEC. Funds managed by ACA and its relying advisers are
reflected on ACA’s Form ADV. Anchorage and ACA operate their respective
businesses using shared operational resources such as office space, advisory and
non-advisory personnel and back office functions.

that provide such Investors with different or additional terms.
