company registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
Morgan Creek primarily provides discretionary investment advisory services to
various private investment funds (unless otherwise defined, each a “Fund,” and
together, the “Funds”).

registered investment fund. The registered fund is referred to herein as the “RIC.”

other accounts (the “Non-Discretionary Clients”). It is noted that, in certain
circumstances, and when deemed appropriate for a large or strategic investor,
Morgan Creek may establish a separately managed account that tailors its
investment objectives to those of the specific investor (a “Discretionary Client”)
and such an account may be managed by Morgan Creek on a discretionary basis.
Hereafter the term “Advisory Clients” is used to refer collectively to the Non-
Discretionary Clients, Discretionary Clients, the Funds and the RIC (as relevant).

In addition, Morgan Creek provides non-discretionary investment advice to a
number of other accounts. The advice can vary from pure asset allocation
recommendations to a more comprehensive customized solution including asset
allocation, portfolio construction, and manager selection, which some clients
utilize. In Non-Discretionary Client relationships, the Adviser generally does not
have discretion to buy or sell securities, place orders with brokers, hire custodians
or trustees, select brokers, or vote proxies. Generally, the Adviser’s investment
recommendations may include asset classes, investment managers within asset
classes, and portfolio construction given the desired investment risk of the client.
Non-Discretionary Clients may hire the Adviser to provide investment
recommendations covering their entire portfolio or a portion of their portfolio.
The Adviser’s advice may include recommendations of publicly traded and other
securities in addition to recommendations of private investment funds.
individual needs of clients. Explain whether clients may impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Generally, with respect to the Funds, Morgan Creek neither tailors its advisory
services to the individual needs of investors nor accepts investor-imposed
investment restrictions.
Morgan Creek has in the past and may in the future enter into letter agreements
or other similar agreements (collectively, “Side Letters”) with one or more Fund
investors (“Investors”) that provide such Investors with additional and/or
different rights or terms than those set forth in the Funds’ offering documents.
With respect to its non-discretionary investment advice to other accounts, Morgan
Creek’s advice can vary from pure asset allocation recommendations to a more
comprehensive customized solution including asset allocation, portfolio
construction, and manager selection. Generally, Morgan Creek’s investment
recommendations include asset classes, investment managers within asset
classes, and portfolio construction given the desired investment risk of the given
Non-Discretionary Client. As mentioned above, Non-Discretionary Clients may
hire Morgan Creek to provide investment recommendations covering their entire
portfolio or a portion of their portfolio. Morgan Creek’s advice generally
includes recommendations of private investment funds, though from time to time
recommendations can include other securities. Given the nature of these Non-
Discretionary Client relationships, these clients retain ultimate investment
discretion. As such, they have the authority to accept or reject Morgan Creek’s
recommendations and are able to thereby monitor and impose their own specific
restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
In certain unique instances, and for a large/strategic investor, Morgan Creek may
establish a single-investor Fund and the investment advisory services provided to
that single-investor Fund will be tailored to the individual needs of the investor.
When deemed appropriate for a large or strategic investor, Morgan Creek may
establish a separately managed account that tailors its investment objectives to
those of the specific investor. Such an account may be managed by Morgan
Creek on a discretionary basis and may be subject to different terms and/or fees
than those of the Funds.
