Brochure Summary

Overview

Lightyear Capital LLC (collectively with any affiliates, as the context requires, “Lightyear”), a Delaware limited liability company founded in 2000, is a registered investment adviser located in New York, NY. Lightyear and its subsidiaries, Lightyear Capital II, LLC, Lightyear Capital III, LLC, Lightyear Capital IV, LLC, Lightyear Capital V, LLC, and Lightyear Capital VI, LLC (each, an “Affiliated Adviser” or, collectively, the “Affiliated Advisers”), provide investment advisory services to several private equity funds (each a “Fund” or, collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds invest primarily in high-growth, “asset-light” companies at the nexus of financial services and technology, healthcare, and business services. The Funds are typically structured as limited partnerships and each has a general partner (or similar persons or entities, each, a “General Partner” or, collectively, the “General Partners”). Each General Partner is an affiliate of Lightyear Capital LLC. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds and not individually to the persons and entities that invest in the Funds (each, a “Limited Partner” and, collectively, the “Limited Partners”; and referred to collectively with the General Partners as “Partners”). In providing services to the Funds, Lightyear formulates each Fund’s investment objectives, directs, and manages the investment and reinvestment of each Fund’s assets, and provides
reports to the Limited Partners. Lightyear provides investment advisory services to each of the Funds pursuant to separate advisory or management agreements and manages the assets of the Funds in accordance with the limited partnership agreements, investment advisory agreements, private placement memoranda, and other governing documents applicable to each Fund (the “Governing Fund Documents”). The investment guidelines of each Fund are described in the applicable Governing Fund Documents. Limited partnership interests in the Funds are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Funds are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, interests in the Funds are privately offered and sold exclusively to Limited Partners satisfying the applicable eligibility and suitability requirements for private transactions within the U.S. Lightyear Capital LLC is wholly owned by Lightyear Capital Management LP, the general partner of which is Lightyear Capital GP LLC. Both Lightyear Capital Management LP and Lightyear Capital GP LLC are wholly owned by Mark Vassallo and his estate planning vehicle. Mark Vassallo is also the manager of Lightyear Capital GP LLC and the Managing Partner of Lightyear Capital LLC. As of December 31, 2023, Lightyear managed approximately $5.02 billion in regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis.
