General Description and Principal Owners. Eureka Equity Partners, L.P., a Pennsylvania
limited partnership (“Eureka” or the “Adviser”) is a Philadelphia, PA based private equity firm
whose principal owners are Christopher G. Hanssens and Christian T. Miller. Eureka provides
investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles (each a “Eureka Fund” or “Fund”)
that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. Eureka commenced business in November 2005 and is led by
Christopher G. Hanssens, Christian T. Miller, Jonathan Y. Chou and Alexandra (Tassie)
Oswald (together, the “Managers”). The General Partner of Eureka is Eureka Equity Partners
Management, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company owned by Christopher G.
Hanssens.
The Managers have been working together since 2005 and possess an average of over 20 years
of relevant business experience. The Managers are supported by a team of investment
professionals experienced in the advisory services offered by Eureka. The current portfolio of
investments Eureka oversees is comprised of equity securities in various non-public companies
with revenue generally between $10 million and $100 million.
Advisory services offered. Eureka provides investment advisory services exclusively to the
Eureka Funds. Each Eureka Fund is a traditional closed-end pooled investment fund with
unspecified investments. Eureka, with each Eureka Fund’s General Partner (“General
Partner”), identifies investment opportunities for, and participates in the acquisition,
management, monitoring and disposition of investments of each Eureka Fund. The primary
focus of Eureka’s investment advisory activity is researching and advising on private equity
investments, including leveraged acquisitions, recapitalizations and traditional buyouts in a
wide variety of industries. Such investments take the form of privately negotiated investment
instruments including unregistered equity from primarily U.S. issuers.
As of the date hereof, Eureka provides administrative and/or investment management services
to the following Private Funds: Eureka II, L.P., Eureka III, L.P., and Eureka IV,
L.P. all of
which are pooled investment vehicles formed under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, or,
in the case of Eureka IV, L.P., the State of Delaware.
Tailoring to individual needs and investment restrictions. Eureka provides investment
advisory services to each of the Eureka Funds pursuant to separate investment management
agreements (each a “Management Agreement”). Investment advice is provided by Eureka
directly to the Eureka Funds, subject to the direction and control of the affiliated General
Partner of each Eureka Fund. Any restrictions on investments in certain types of securities or
geographic areas are established by the General Partner of the applicable Eureka Fund and are
set forth in each fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement (“LPA”), the private placement
memorandum (“PPM”), and any other relevant documents including the investment
parameters of the Funds (the “Governing Documents”).
The Adviser has entered into agreements, such as side letters, with certain underlying limited
partners of the Eureka Funds (each an "Investor", and collectively "Investors") that could in
each case provide for terms of investments that are more favorable to the terms provided to
other Investors. Such terms might include co-investment rights, the waiver or reduction of
management and/or incentive fees/allocations, the provision for additional information or
reports, rights related to specific regulatory requests of certain Investors, more favorable
transfer rights and more favorable liquidity rights. Once invested in a Eureka Fund, Investors
generally cannot impose additional investment guidelines or restrictions on such Eureka
Fund. Except in limited circumstances, Investors are not permitted to withdraw from a Eureka
Fund prior to its dissolution.
Persons reviewing this Form ADV Part 2A should not construe this as an offering of any of
the Eureka Funds described herein, which will only be made pursuant to the delivery of a
private placement memorandum to prospective investors.
Assets under management. As of December 31, 2023, Eureka managed a total of
approximately $359,633,794 of Eureka Fund assets, all of which is managed on a discretionary
basis.
