Lumina Fund Management LLC (hereafter “Lumina”) currently advises Lumina Partners LP, a private
investment fund (the “Fund”) that is offered to institutional investors and accredited investors.
Lumina also advises managed accounts for certain large, sophisticated institutional investors.
Collectively, the Fund and Lumina’s other advisory clients are referred to herein as Lumina’s “Clients,”
where appropriate.
Lumina was formed on September 25, 2003 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and registered with
the SEC as an investment advisor under Section 203(c) of the Investment Advisor Act of 1940 on
September 12, 2007. The principal is Diego Giurleo and the experience, education and background of its
professional staff is available in the Brochure Supplement document.
Lumina offers discretionary investment management services to managed account clients, the Fund and
sub-advised accounts. Lumina tailors its investment strategies aimed at meeting established investment
objectives. In constructing investment portfolios, Lumina primarily invests in exchange-listed stocks,
exchange-listed stock options, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-listed ETF options and mutual
funds. On occasion, Lumina may recommend investments in private investment funds that are suitable
and meet specific client investment guidelines. The above mentioned securities entail a wide range of
equity market investment risk, including some securities, such as options and private investment funds,
which have high degrees of risk and can have limited liquidity.
Lumina does not provide any “wrap programs” (programs that bundle brokerage and advisory services
under a single comprehensive fee) so all securities recommended by Lumina may include additional
transaction charges by the client’s broker-dealer/custodian separate from Lumina’s advisory fees.
For managed accounts, clients grant Lumina discretionary investment management authority
in their
broker-dealer/custodian accounts, subject to restrictions agreed upon in advance. This is accomplished
by executing an investment management agreement with Lumina and the appropriate documents with
the client’s broker-dealer/custodian. The discretionary authority will allow Lumina to enter securities
transactions on the client’s behalf, determining which securities and the amount of securities to buy or
sell. Clients are notified of all transactions by trade confirmations from their broker-dealer/custodian.
Under the managed account agreements, Lumina does not have the authority to make any withdrawals
from the client’s account(s) and Lumina does not provide any custodial functions. All withdrawals from
the client’s account(s) must be initiated and authorized by the client through direct communication
between the client and the broker-dealer/custodian. This includes, but is not limited to the payment of
advisory fees to Lumina. Lumina recommends that clients always review their brokerage account
statements to verify the trading activity and withdrawals that occur in their account(s). “FEES AND
COMPENSATION” is discussed at greater length in this FIRM BROCHURE. As of December 31, 2022,
Lumina’s discretionary managed account assets totaled approximately $260 million.
In the Fund, Lumina has discretionary investment management authority, which is granted through the
Limited Partnership Agreement, Private Placement Memorandum and Subscription Agreement clients
complete before investing. Lumina primarily invests in exchange-listed stocks, exchange-listed stock
options, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-listed ETF options. “FEES AND COMPENSATION” is
discussed at greater length in this FIRM BROCHURE. As of December 31, 2022, the Fund had
approximately $113 million in client assets.
