B. Description of Advisory Services (including any specializations)
Truffle Hound Capital, LLC employs a value philosophy to invest in publicly traded securities that offer
substantial upside with a wide margin of safety, while reducing volatility with hedges on broad-based
stock indices. THC’s primary advantages are the ability to migrate to undervalued asset classes and the
ability to exploit relatively small investment opportunities in small companies or niche industries. The
Firm manages the investment activities of the Fund, which is its only client.
C. Availability of Tailored Services for Individual Clients
This is not applicable as THC does not tailor services for individual clients other than the Fund.
D. Wrap Fee Programs.
This is not applicable as we do not offer any wrap fee programs.
E. Client Assets Under Management.

which is managed on a discretionary basis.
