certain of its clients to Pantheon, which was formed and registered in 2010 as part of this
restructuring. Pantheon and PVI are parties to an intra-company services agreement whereby
Pantheon provides services, including management, investment advisory, and other services, to
the remaining clients of PVI.

plans, among others. Funds and separate accounts managed by Pantheon are referred to in this

Advisory Services
Pantheon specializes in private equity, infrastructure, real assets, real estate, private debt/credit,
and other private assets investing. Pantheon primarily invests client assets in venture capital,
leveraged buyout, special situations, private debt/credit, other private equity, infrastructure, and
real assets portfolio funds, direct real estate investments, and other private investments (referred
to in this Brochure as “underlying portfolio investments”). Investment strategies include primary
investments (i.e., purchasing an interest directly from the issuer), secondary investments (i.e.,
purchasing an interest from an existing investor or GP-led transactions), co-investments (i.e.,
investing, directly or indirectly, in a portfolio company typically alongside an underlying portfolio
fund manager), and direct real estate investments with deal sponsors. Portfolio fund managers and
real estate deal sponsors are referred to as “portfolio managers” in this Brochure.
With respect to funds managed by Pantheon, the investment strategies and restrictions are set forth
in the fund’s private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, or other governing
documents (“governing documents”).
Our separate account clients can, but are generally not required to, unless otherwise agreed, invest
alongside our funds. To the extent a separate account client wishes to impose investment
restrictions or guidelines specific to its account, this is usually documented in its investment
management agreement or other governing documents with the client.
Pantheon does not participate in any wrap free programs.
