Overview
A. Vanshap Capital, founded in March 2012, is an investment services firm that provides investment
management services to investors through its clients, Vanshap Capital Value Fund, LP, a pooled
investment vehicle, or (“hedge fund client”) that invests in publicly traded securities, and Vanshap
Capital Food Technology Fund I, LP, a pooled investment vehicle investing in a partnership that
indirectly owns a single private equity security, or (“fund of funds client.”)
Vanshap Capital is managed by David Shapiro and Evan Vanderveer (each, a “Principal”), and each
Principal owns 37.5% of Vanshap Capital. The Principals also manage our clients’ general partner,
Vanshap Capital GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), and each Principal owns 30% of the General
Partner.
B. We attempt to always act in the best interest of our clients. Our firm strictly adheres to the
investment strategy set forth in our clients’ Private Placement Memoranda. We do not modify
securities recommendations to our clients according to the particular interests of our clients’
underlying investors, nor do we allow investors to place restrictions on the trading we conduct for
our
clients. We believe that this is the only fair and just way to manage a pooled investment
vehicle, as it minimizes the potential for favoritism and factionalism on behalf of any underlying
investors.
Vanshap Capital seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation for its investors by primarily
investing in equity securities in the small-cap global markets. Our primary method of identifying
potential investments is through screening and our relationship network.
C. We may tailor specific advisory services with respect to our clients at our discretion and based on the
individual investment strategy of our clients. All discussions of the clients in this Brochure,
including but not limited to its investments, the strategies used in managing the clients, and
conflicts of interest faced by Vanshap Capital in connection with the management of the clients are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the clients’ offering documents.
D. We do not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. As of March 1, 2024, Vanshap Capital managed approximately $77,800,000 in discretionary assets.
Vannshap Capital does not currently manage assets on a non-discretionary basis.
