NCH Capital Inc. (“NCH” or the “Adviser”) is an investment management firm with its
principal place of business in New York, New York. The Adviser commenced its business
in 1993. The owners and co-founders of the Adviser are George Rohr and Moris Tabacinic
(the “Principals”).
NCH registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) in November 2011. The Adviser also meets the
requirements to be considered a Qualified Professional Asset Manager (“QPAM”) under
applicable regulations. Certain NCH Funds may at times constitute plan assets under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
NCH generally provides investment management services directly and through affiliated
management entities with respect to one or more clients for operational and other purposes
(each, a “Relying Adviser” and collectively each is included within the term NCH, except
as the context otherwise requires). NCH controls, or is under common control with, each
Relying Adviser. Unless specifically noted otherwise, the response to the Form ADV Part
2A combines information about NCH and the Relying Advisers.
The Adviser had $2,146,043,398 in regulatory assets under management, as of December
31, 2023. These assets are managed on a discretionary basis. The value of these assets
continues to be significantly impacted by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 and
by the disruption of the markets for Russia- related securities. The present lack of ability
to dispose of Russian securities under
current Russian regulations causes the Adviser to
value Russian securities at zero on NCH Balkan Fund, L.P., New Century Holdings XI,
L.P., NCH Russia Fund, L.P., and NCH Eagle Fund, L.P.’s annual audited financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. The business conducted in Russia by NCH
Agribusiness Partners, L.P. was transferred in April 2024 under temporary administration
by Russian Presidential Decree to the Russian Agency for State Property Management,
resulting in an impact on that Fund that the Adviser is unable to assess at this time.
The Principals began investing in Eastern Europe and Russia in 1991. Encouraged by the
potential of the early, undervalued investment opportunities they had identified, in 1993
they formed the Adviser and their first fund. Subsequent funds followed, formed to invest
in equity-related securities, debt, private equity, real estate and agribusiness assets
throughout this region.
The Adviser provides investment supervisory and management services on a discretionary
basis to clients that are pooled investment funds (“Fund(s)” or “NCH Fund(s)”) intended
for institutional and other sophisticated investors (“Limited Partners”). These Funds hold
investments in companies, operations and properties primarily in Bulgaria, Latvia,
Moldova, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. The Funds also hold investments in Albania,
Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Serbia, and the United Kingdom. NCH
seeks profitability from these investments based on medium to long-term appreciation of
the value of these assets.
