Overview
Cartica Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is a Delaware limited liability company that has been
in the investment management business since 2009. The Adviser is owned directly or indirectly
by Teresa C. Barger and Steven J. Quamme.
The Adviser provides investment advisory and management services to private investment funds
that are offered exclusively to sophisticated investors and may also provide investment advisory
services for separately managed accounts for sophisticated institutional and high net worth
investors. Each of the Funds has an investment strategy of investing in equity or equity-related
securities of publicly-traded companies that are domiciled in or have substantial business activities
in certain emerging markets. In the future, the Adviser may provide investment advisory services
to other funds, pooled investment vehicles, separately managed accounts or other entities that do
not have the same investment strategy as the private investment funds currently managed by the
Adviser (each, an “Other Strategy Vehicle”). These services may be provided on a discretionary
or non-discretionary basis, as set forth in a written investment advisory agreement. The private
investment funds currently managed by the Adviser, as well as any Other Strategy Vehicles formed
after the date hereof, generally are each referred to as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds”
unless the context otherwise requires.
The Adviser has complete discretion with respect to all investment decisions made for the Funds,
selection of brokers, dealers and other counterparties for such transactions, and the amount of
commissions or other compensation to be paid by the Funds. The Adviser provides investment
advisory and management services to the Funds based on the particular investment objectives and
strategies described in the applicable Fund’s offering documents, including identification
of
investments and potential investments, recommendations concerning investments and potential
investments, supervision of the preparation and review of investment-related documents and
monitoring of portfolio performance.
The Adviser has imposed certain investment guidelines with respect to diversification and the
companies in which the Funds may invest. With respect to any Fund, the Adviser generally may
not: (1) invest more than 20% at cost of the Fund’s assets under management (“AUM”) in any one
issuer, determined at the time of investment; or (2) invest in any company unless, at the time of
investment, the company is an emerging market country (as determined by the organizational
documents of the Fund).
The Adviser manages each Fund to the investment strategy, restrictions and guidelines set forth in
the Fund’s governing documents, but does not tailor its investment advisory services to the needs
of any individual investors in the Funds. However, in accordance with common industry practice,
each Fund and its general partner has entered, and anticipates that it will from time to time in the
future enter, into “side letters” or similar agreements with certain investors pursuant to which the
Fund or its general partner grants the investor specific rights, benefits or privileges that are not
generally made available to all investors. See “Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies
and Risk of Loss” for additional details. To the extent that the Adviser in the future advises any
separately managed account clients, the Adviser may tailor its investment advisory services to the
specific investment requirements specified by any such separate account client.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser had approximately [$1,662,094] of regulatory assets under
management, of which 100% were managed on a discretionary basis.
