under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the interests
of which are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Flexstone is a fund of funds asset manager and specializes in small and middle market private equity
markets predominantly in North America. Flexstone provides these services to primary and co-investment
fund vehicles. Flexstone also manages private equity and real estate assets on a non-discretionary basis,
and in some case with a sub delegation to a third party. The Adviser also provides advisory services under
a sub-advisory agreement with SAS.
The services Flexstone provides may be tailored to meet the needs of each respective client and any
investment guidelines or restrictions agreed to between Flexstone and its clients are set forth in, as
applicable, the private placement memoranda, limited partnership agreements and/or side letters and
operating agreements.
In some instances, an affiliate of Flexstone will serve as the general partner (“GP”) of a fund. The GP is a
related person to the adviser and is under common control and therefore its personnel are subject to the
same oversight as Flexstone employees under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Advisers Act”) and Flexstone’s compliance policies and procedures.
Flexstone does not participate in wrap fee programs.
