General
Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point Capital” or the “Firm”) is a Delaware limited liability company and a
registered investment adviser, with its principal office located in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Firm also
maintains office space in New York, New York and West Palm Beach, Florida. The Firm provides investment
advisory services directly and through certain affiliated entities (the “Advisory Affiliates”) to private pooled
investment vehicles (the “Main Funds”) and to certain co-investment vehicles established in connection
with and invested alongside the Main Funds (the “Co-Investment Funds”). The Main Funds include funds
that pursue private equity strategies (the “Trident Funds”).
Stone Point Credit Adviser LLC (“Stone Point Credit” and collectively with Stone Point Capital, “Stone
Point”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Firm, manages and advises funds that
primarily pursue credit opportunity strategies (the “Opportunities Funds”) and an evergreen, open-end
private pooled investment vehicle that primarily pursues investments in liquid credit (the “Liquid Credit
Fund”). Stone Point Credit also manages Stone Point Credit Corporation (“Stone Point BDC”), a Delaware
corporation that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a ”BDC”) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
Stone Point Capital was established in 2005. Prior to the formation of Stone Point Capital, certain managing
directors of the Firm worked together at MMC Capital, Inc., an investment adviser owned by Marsh &
McLennan Companies, Inc. Stone Point Capital acquired substantially all of the assets, and hired
substantially all of the employees, of MMC Capital, Inc. on May 31, 2005. Stone Point Credit was
established in 2020. Stone Point Capital and Stone Point Credit are principally, either directly or indirectly,
controlled by SPC Field Partners LLC (“SPC Field”), which is owned by Charles A. Davis, Stephen Friedman,
James D. Carey, David J. Wermuth and Nicolas D. Zerbib, each a member of the Investment Committee of
Stone Point Capital.
The Firm and/or its affiliates also form, sponsor, manage or advise other private funds and vehicles
established for third-party institutional investors (“Other Sponsored Funds”; together with the Main Funds
and the Co-Investment Funds, the “Funds”) or may provide investment advice to other accounts or clients
(“Other Clients”; together with the Funds, the “Clients”). Certain affiliates of the Firm serve as general
partners (or equivalent) of the Funds (each a “General Partner” and collectively, the “General Partners”).
This Brochure focuses on the business of Stone Point Capital and the Funds and Clients formed, sponsored,

Fund Structure
The Firm serves as investment manager of the Funds based on the investment objectives, policies and
restrictions contained in the investment management agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar
constitutional documents of each Fund as well as any side letters or similar agreements between certain
Stone Point Capital investors and the applicable Funds (collectively, “Governing Agreements”).
Funds established primarily for investors not affiliated with the Firm (other than Other Sponsored Funds)
are referred to as the “Institutional Funds” in this Brochure, and Funds established to allow employees and
consultants of the Firm and certain other individuals to invest in, or co-invest with, the Institutional Funds
are referred to as the “Affiliated Funds” in this Brochure. Affiliated Funds may include investors who are
not “affiliates” as such term is defined by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers
Act”). Each Institutional Fund typically co-invests in, and divests of, each investment made by such
Institutional Fund in parallel with one or more other Funds, including the Affiliated Funds (each such group,
a “Fund Group”). The co-investment arrangement among the members of each Fund Group is generally
established pursuant to the Governing Agreements of the applicable Funds in connection with the
formation of the Funds in such Fund Group.
Other Sponsored Funds are established for third-party institutional investors and pursue customized
investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the applicable Governing Agreements of the
applicable Other Sponsored Fund.
All Funds that are
otherwise required to be registered as investment companies under the Investment
Company Act are exempt from such registration pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) and/or Section 3(c)(7) of the
Investment Company Act. Interests in the Institutional Funds are only offered to investors that are (a)
“accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and (b) “qualified purchasers” for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company
Act. Interests in the Affiliated Funds are generally offered to investors that are accredited investors and
qualified purchasers or knowledgeable employees of the Firm who meet the sophistication standard.
Advisory Services
The Firm’s services include investigating, analyzing, structuring and negotiating potential investments on
behalf of the Clients, managing and monitoring the performance of the investments of the Clients and
advising the Clients as to disposition opportunities.
The Trident Funds and the other Funds primarily make private equity investments, each in accordance with
the investment guidelines established for the applicable Funds. The Funds pursue investments in the
financial services and adjacent sectors predominantly in the North American and European markets.
Clients may invest in derivative financial instruments from time to time and may utilize leverage in
connection with their investment strategies, subject to certain limitations. Investments in portfolio
companies can be made directly or indirectly by investing through one or more partnerships or other
entities or by causing certain investors to invest through one or more affiliated partnerships or other
entities. The investment guidelines of each Client are memorialized in the applicable Governing
Agreements. As discussed more fully in Item 7, the Firm is permitted to provide investment advice to Other
Clients. The Firm does not currently provide investment advice to Other Clients.
Refer to Item 10 regarding the Affiliated Capital Markets Entities.
Persons reviewing this Form ADV Part 2A should not construe this as an offering of any of the Funds
described herein.
Investment Restrictions
The terms upon which the Firm serves as investment manager or advisor of a Client are established at the
time each Client relationship is established and are generally set out in the Governing Agreements entered
into by the Firm. The Firm will tailor its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and
strategies of a specific Client. These terms, which vary among each Client, could limit the investments the
Firm can invest on behalf of the relevant Client based on security classes, concentration limits, leverage
limits and/or other criteria. It should be noted that the Firm does not tailor its advisory services to the
individual investment objectives and strategies of investors of the Trident Funds.
The rights, duties and obligations of investors in the Funds are set out, and the treatment of the investors in
the Funds is described, in the Funds’ Governing Agreements. In that connection, the General Partner,
sponsor or Adviser of each Fund will, from time to time, enter into separate agreements, commonly
referred to as “side letters,” or other similar agreements with a particular investor in connection with its
admission to the Fund (“Side Letters”) without the approval of any other investor, which will have the
effect of establishing rights under or supplementing the terms of the applicable Fund’s Governing
Agreement with respect to such investor in a manner more favorable to such investor than those applicable
to other investors. Such rights or terms in any such side letter or other similar agreement often include,
without limitation, (i) reporting obligations of the Fund, (ii) transfers to affiliates, (iii) co-investment
opportunities, (iv) confidentiality / publicity restrictions, (v) withdrawal events, (vi) consent rights to certain
amendments to the applicable Fund’s Governing Agreement, (vii) indemnification arrangements, (viii)
economic arrangements (including alternative fee or other compensation arrangements), and/or (ix) opting
out of particular investments. If a side letter is entered into entitling an investor in a Fund to opt out of a
particular investment or withdraw from such Fund, any election to opt out or withdraw by such investor
will generally increase each other investor’s pro rata interest in that particular investment (in the case of an
opt-out) or all future investments (in the case of a withdrawal), which could have an adverse effect on such
investor’s investment results. The investors in the Funds will have no recourse against the Funds or any of
their respective affiliates if certain other investors receive additional or different rights or terms as a result
of such Side Letters. Most of the investors who have entered into a Side Letter have the benefits of a “most
favored nation” provision and are given the opportunity to elect the rights and terms in any side letter or
other similar agreement of other similarly situated investors that are applicable to such investors.
Management of Client Assets
As of December 31, 2023, Stone Point Capital managed approximately $48.5 billion of Client assets, all of
which is on a discretionary basis.
