This Brochure is applicable to Nyes Ledge Capital Management, LLC
(“Nyes Ledge”), a Delaware limited liability company which is registered
as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Nyes Ledge was formed in January 2005 and has provided
investment advisory services since April 1, 2005.
Nyes Ledge offers investment advisory services through two private
investment funds:
o Nyes Ledge Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware Limited
Partnership (the “Onshore Fund”); and
o Nyes Ledge Capital Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman
Islands exempted fund (the “Offshore Fund”).
The Onshore Fund and the Offshore Fund are referred to together in this
Brochure as the “Funds” or “Advisory Clients”. “Investors” are investors
in, or the beneficial owners of interests or shares in, the Funds.
Nyes Ledge does not presently provide discretionary investment advisory
services to one or more separately managed accounts.

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.
Nyes Ledge presently provides investment advisory services solely to the
Funds. The Funds seek to produce attractive absolute and relative returns
that exhibit moderate volatility and a low correlation to the overall stock
and bond markets using a multi-manager, or fund-of-funds, investment
strategy. As such, the Funds are primarily invested in several private
investment entities (the “Portfolio Funds”). Portfolio Funds are managed
by select professional managers (“Fund Managers”) who have, what Nyes
Ledge believes to be, above-average investment histories and/or prospects,
and who focus on investment strategies that typically include long/short
equities, event-driven strategies, intra-capital arbitrage, distressed
company investing, convertible arbitrage and merger arbitrage.
The Funds typically allocate assets among approximately 20-25 core
Portfolio Funds and 5-15 “farm team” Portfolio Funds.
individual needs of clients. Explain
whether clients may impose restrictions
on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
The individual needs of the investors in the Funds are not the basis of
investment decisions by the Registrant. Investment advice is provided
directly to the Funds by the Registrant and not individually to the Funds’
investors Nyes Ledge provides investment advisory services to the Funds
based upon the criteria (investment strategies, investment restrictions, etc.)
as set forth in detail in the Funds’ offering documents. Investors do not
have the ability to impose restrictions on Nyes Ledge’s investments in
certain securities or types of securities.
Nyes Ledge has in the past entered into agreements with certain Investors
whereby such Investors may be subject to terms and conditions that are
more advantageous than those set forth in the given Fund’s offering
documents ("Side Letters") and may continue to do so in the future. For
example, such terms and conditions may provide for special rights to make
future investments in a Fund, other investment vehicles or managed
accounts; special withdrawal rights relating to frequency or notice; a
reduction or rebate in fees to be paid by the Investor and/or other terms;
rights to receive reports from the Fund on a more frequent basis or that
include information not provided to other Investors (including, without
limitation, more detailed information regarding portfolio positions) and
such other rights as may be negotiated by the given Fund and such
Investors. The modifications are solely at the discretion of the given Fund
and may, among other things, be based on the size of the Investor's
investment in the Fund or affiliated investment entity, an agreement by an
Investor to maintain such investment in the Fund for a significant period
of time, or other similar commitment by an Investor to the given Fund. As
of the date of this Brochure, there are no active Side Letters between the
Funds and Investors.

documentation describing the method you use. The amount you disclose may
