Advisory Services Offered
Precision
offers advisory services with the goal of generating long-term capital appreciation through
investments in securities in private investment vehicles, such as investments in private equity and/or hedge
funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds” and the investment managers of the Underlying Funds, the
“Underlying Managers”). In addition, Precision may, from time to time, advise certain Clients to make direct
investments in private companies. Precision generally does not recommend securities that are actively traded or
securities that are traded on public markets. Precision’s Clients’ investment strategies are described in more
detail in each Fund’s offering memorandum. Precision is also occasionally engaged to offer expert witness
services based on the financial industry experience of the Firm’s professionals. As set forth in each Fund’s
offering memorandum, the Firm generally tailors its recommendations to Clients based on the investment
strategy of each Client. Precision determines which recommendations are suitable for each Client based on that
Client’s governing documents and private placement memorandum, which generally set forth the investment
objectives, suitable investments and investment limitations for that Client. Precision does not provide tailored
investment advice for the investors in each of the Funds.
