SQN’s primary focus is on equipment leasing and asset finance investment opportunities and
other alternative investments that are asset-intensive or collateral-based that generate regular
income.
Each Fund has its own investment committee and its own investment objectives set forth in each
Fund’s offering materials. Each Fund is managed by SQN in accordance with the Fund’s
investment objectives without consideration of the individual investment objectives of any
particular investor admitted to the particular Fund. Any individual purchasing securities in a Fund
managed by SQN should consult with an investment professional to determine suitability.
SQN provides its investment management services to institutional and insurance company clients.
SQN only manages the assets which are the subject of its management agreement and does not
consider the client's other assets and other obligations (subject to “Additional Services” described
below). SQN receives authority to supervise and direct the investment of the assets on a
discretionary or non-discretionary basis in accordance with the clients’ written objectives and
limitations as outlined in each individual client’s Investment
Management Agreement. Clients
may impose restrictions or limitations on investing in specific securities, specific types of
securities, or specific strategies.
Equipment Lease and Asset-based Strategies:
SQN’s equipment lease and asset-based investment strategy involves making direct investments
in assets and equipment subject to lease or other financing arrangement and making investments
in equity, debt, or debt-like instruments that are secured by equipment and/or assets, including
revenue streams. The SQN strategy generally focuses on equipment and assets with the following
characteristics; although not all investments meet all of the below criteria, as each investment is
individually underwritten and takes additional factors into consideration:
• Assets and/or equipment that are considered business-essential
• Revenue-producing or cost-saving equipment and/or assets
• Assets and/or equipment with substantial economic life relative to the investment term
• Assets and/or equipment with associated revenue streams
• Assets and/or equipment with high in-place value
• Asset-intensive project financings
• Wholesale lending arrangements for secured portfolios
• Debt instruments backed by portfolios of financial assets including, but not limited to,
equipment leases and secured loans
