Identify your principal owner(s).
Alyeska Investment Group, L.P. (“Alyeska”) was founded in February 2008 and
became a SEC registered investment adviser effective November 17, 2010.
Alyeska provides discretionary investment advisory services to private
investment funds (the “Funds” or the “Advisory Clients”).
The Funds pursue their investment strategy through a master-feeder fund
structure. Each master-feeder structure consists of the following:
A Delaware limited partnership (the “Domestic Feeder”)
A Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Feeder”)
A Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Master Fund”)
Each of the Domestic Feeder, the Offshore Feeder and the Master Fund may be
referred to individually in this Brochure as a “Fund” and together as the “Funds.”
An Affiliate of Alyeska, Alyeska Fund GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), serves
as the general partner of the Domestic Feeder and the Master Fund. The General
Partner is governed by a Board of Managers (the “Board of Managers”).
Principals of Alyeska serve as members of the Board of Managers. The Domestic
Feeder and the Offshore Feeder are each organized into five series (“Series One,”
“Series Two,” “Series Three,” “Series Four,” and “Series Five,” respectively).
Alyeska Partners Trust is the principal owner of Alyeska. Alyeska Investment
Group, LLC is the sole owner of the General Partner. Alyeska Partners Trust is
also the principal owner of Alyeska Investment Group, LLC.
specializing in a particular type of advisory service, such as financial planning,
quantitative analysis, or market timing, explain the nature of that service in
greater detail. If you provide investment advice only with respect to limited types
of investments, explain the type of investment advice you offer, and disclose that
your advice is limited to those types of investments.
Alyeska has broad and flexible investment authority. Alyeska offers advice on
both long and short positions in a wide range of investment products, including
equity, equity-linked, credit and credit-linked instruments. The actual
instruments traded generally include stocks, corporate bonds, convertible bonds,
special purpose acquisition companies, private investment in public equities,
options, futures, credit and equity derivatives, and other credit-based
instruments. Such instruments are traded on public exchanges or in private over-
the-counter (“OTC”) transactions.
Alyeska seeks to mitigate systematic risk embedded in equity securities through
the deliberate construction of non-systematic portfolios. Advisory Clients enter
into various contracts or positions to further mitigate unwanted exposures. To
reduce interest rate and/or currency risk, and subject to certain regulatory
thresholds applicable to pools relying on Commodity Futures Trading
Commission
(“CFTC”) Regulation 4.13(a)(3), Advisory Clients enter into long
or short positions in interest rate derivatives government securities (and
derivatives thereon) and/or foreign currency spot and forward contracts. In
connection with certain transactions involving convertible bonds and capital
structure arbitrage, the Advisory Clients at times enter into credit default swap
contracts. Advisory Clients buy or sell equity index contracts as specific or
portfolio hedges. Derivatives contracts may be exchange-traded or OTC.
Advisory Clients also retain amounts in cash or cash equivalents, pending
reinvestment.
While the above describes the main financial instruments on which Alyeska
offers advice, it is not meant to preclude Alyeska from using other financial
instruments not described above.
Advisory Clients, to the extent permitted by the rules of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA Rules”), purchase equity securities that are part
of an initial public offering (sometimes referred to as “IPOs” or “New Issues”)
when such opportunity is deemed appropriate for the Advisory Clients. Any
investments in New Issues are equitably allocated amongst investors based on
their restricted/unrestricted status consistent with the mandates of the FINRA
Rules.
Series One is managed largely in parallel with Series Two, except that Series Two
generally targets a leverage ratio that is approximately 1.5 times greater than
Series One, and a corresponding risk that is approximately 1.5 times greater than
Series One. Series Three, Series Four and Series Five are managed largely in
parallel with Series One, except that Series Three, Series Four, and Series Five
incorporate additional exposures from certain broad market indices and the risks
associated therewith.
