ADVISORY BUSINESS
A. General Description of Advisory Firm.
Founded in 2002, Pointer Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its
affiliated investment adviser, Pointer Offshore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together
“Pointer” or the “Investment Adviser”), provide discretionary investment advisory services to private
investment funds that operate as pooled investment vehicles (the “Advisory Clients”).
The Advisory Clients invest through a master-feeder structure with five feeder funds holding
interests in Pointer (QP), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Master Fund”). The feeder funds
(“Feeder Funds”) are (1) Pointer, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Domestic Fund”); (2) Pointer
Offshore, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Fund”); (3) Pointer Offshore II, Ltd.,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Fund II”); (4) Pointer (QP) II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “U.S. Fund II”); and (5) Pointer Offshore III, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company
(the “Offshore Fund III”). The Master Fund and Feeder Funds collectively will be referred to as the
“Funds.” In addition to the Feeder Funds, qualified limited partners can invest directly in the Master Fund.
In addition to being the investment manager, Pointer Management, LLC is the General Partner of
the Domestic Fund, the U.S. Fund II, and the Master Fund. Pointer is 100% employee-owned, none of
whom own 25% or more of the Investment Adviser. Please see the Investment Adviser’s Form ADV Part
1, Schedule A for a description of Pointer’s ownership.
B. Description of Advisory Services.
1. Advisory Services.
Pointer’s principal activity is providing investment advisory services to the Funds using a fund-
of-funds structure. More specifically, Pointer’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation
through a balanced level of risk primarily by allocation of Funds’ assets to a select number of long/short
equity-based portfolio managers (the “Portfolio Managers”). Pointer may also invest to a lesser extent in
Portfolio Managers focused in
credit markets, commodities and private equity investments. The Master
Fund has also issued a separate class of interests (the “P1 Interests”) with the primary purpose of investing
in certain illiquid investments primarily in mid- to late-stage private opportunities (each, a “Private
Investment”).
Pointer seeks to achieve balance between risk and return in two primary ways: (i) employment
of a select group of Portfolio Managers so as to decrease Pointer’s exposure to any single Portfolio
Manager; and (ii) employment of Portfolio Managers who utilize diverse strategies and hedging in their
individual funds. Diversification and hedging on the part of Pointer’s individual Portfolio Managers are
intended to generate a positive overall return even under adverse market conditions, although there is no
assurance that this will be the case, or that the Pointer’s investment objectives will be achieved.
Pointer believes in having a diversified portfolio, but tries to narrow its core group of Portfolio
Managers to 15-25 in total. The investment period for the P1 interests closes in April 2024. To date the P1
Interests have invested in a handful of Private Investments during the approximately two-year
investment period that began in January 2022.
2. Investment Strategies and Types of Investments.
Please see Item 8.
C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients.
Pointer does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors in the Funds
(“Investors”) and does not accept Investor imposed investment restrictions.
Although unlikely, Pointer may in the future enter into agreements, or “side letters,” with Investors
whereby such Investors may be subject to terms and conditions that are more advantageous than those
applicable to other Investors. As of the date of this Brochure, no such side letters are in place.
D. Wrap Fee Programs.
The Investment Adviser does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. Assets Under Management.
As of December 31, 2023, Pointer manages approximately a net asset value of $2,265,057,908 in
Advisory Client assets, all on a discretionary basis.
