Overview
Fundamental Advisors LP (“Fundamental Advisors,” “Fundamental,” “we” or “us”) acts as the
discretionary investment adviser to U.S. private investment vehicles that we or a related entity
sponsors (“fund clients”).
Fundamental Advisors’ core investment strategy is primarily to pursue a diverse array of special
situation opportunities within and related to the municipal market or assets otherwise having
significance to the functioning or development of a community or some other connection to a
municipality or other governmental agency or entity, which assets we refer to as “public purpose
assets,” to achieve long-term capital appreciation and current income. Fundamental Advisors seeks
to achieve its objective by targeting control-oriented investments in stressed and distressed assets or
securities, financing the development or revitalization of public purpose assets, or acquiring
undervalued securities in the secondary market. Fundamental Advisors’ strategy also uses over-the-
counter derivatives, such as total return swaps, interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, credit default
swaps and tender option bond structures, where we believe these instruments provide a desired
exposure or hedge exposure and risk. The investment objectives, strategies, fees and risks of each
fund client and other material information, are set forth more fully in the fund clients’ confidential
offering documents, which are available to investors and qualified prospective investors with
whom Fundamental Advisors
or its agents have a pre-existing substantive relationship.
Fundamental Advisors believes its strategy positions the core strategy fund clients to benefit from
evolving market dynamics in the municipal market and the market for public purpose assets.
Fundamental Advisors also employs a specialty finance strategy focused on investing primarily in
development and construction loans (including equipment loans) for solar energy generation facilities
and solar energy plus battery storage and standalone battery storage systems across the U.S.
