Hatteras Investment Partners, L.P. (“Hatteras” or “We”) is a 100% employee-owned alternative
investment boutique and investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) since March 2014. Hatteras serves as the Investment Manager to pooled
investment vehicles (or “Hatteras Limited Partnerships”) that are exempt from registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) and serves as Investment Adviser to
additional pooled investment vehicles. Hatteras serves as Investment Manager to closed-end
funds registered under the 1940 Act and Securities Act of 1933 (or “Hatteras Registered Funds”).
Hatteras also serves as General Partner to the Hatteras Limited Partnerships. Hatteras furnishes
investment advice to the Hatteras Registered Funds, Hatteras Limited Partnerships, Hatteras
Ben Legacy, L.P. and the Hatteras Ben Private Legacy, L.P. (together the “Funds”) that it
manages and does not provide advisory services directly to individuals or other entities.
Hatteras has one clear mission: to strengthen the relationship between the Advisor and the
Investor through performance-focused private investment solutions designed to help build more
robust and resilient portfolios.
Depending upon the registration status or exemption and investor qualifications, the Funds may
either be publicly offered or private limited offerings. The Funds are managed in accordance
with the investment objectives, strategies and guidelines as outlined in the current registration
statement or offering document and are not tailored to any particular investor in the Funds.
Hatteras does not provide individualized investment advice to investors; therefore, investors
should consider whether a particular fund meets their investment objectives, risk tolerance and
financial situation. Investors may also consider seeking the advice and guidance of a qualified
financial professional.
Hatteras’s investment management services include setting the mandate of the Funds,
determining the investment objectives of the Funds, manager search and selection, asset
allocation decisions across fund investment strategies and monitoring existing and prospective
investments in light of each fund’s objectives and risk parameters.
Hatteras has entered into Investment Management Agreements or Investment Advisory
Agreements with each fund, as applicable and/or required. The Investment Management
Agreements and Investment Advisory Agreements describe the terms of the agreements, but in
general, each agreement may be terminated at any time in writing by Hatteras or by the
applicable fund upon 60 days prior written notice to Hatteras or the applicable fund,
respectively.
As of December 31, 2023, Hatteras has approximately $236 million in assets under
management, with approximately $22 million of assets managed on a discretionary basis and
approximately $214 million managed on a non-discretionary basis.
The Funds managed by Hatteras Investment Partners are as follows:
The Hatteras Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), an investment company registered
under the 1940 Act. The Master Fund is the master fund in a master/feeder structure comprised
of the Master Fund and the Hatteras Core Alternatives Funds (“Feeder Funds”). Historically, the
Master Fund invested in other investment funds (the “Portfolio Funds”) and managed accounts.
The Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund, L.P.; the Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI
Fund, L.P.; the Hatteras Core Alternatives Institutional Fund, L.P.; and the
Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Institutional Fund, L.P. (collectively referred to as the
“Core Alternatives Funds” or the “Feeder Funds”) are Delaware limited partnerships that are
registered under the 1940 Act, as non-diversified, closed-end management investment
companies whose units are registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Core Alternatives
Funds invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Fund. Historically, the Master Fund
used a number of independent Adviser Funds selected by Hatteras, the investment manager of
the Master Fund. Hatteras primarily pursued the Core Alternatives Funds’ investment objective
by investing the Master Fund’s assets in hedge fund strategies and private investments.
Due to an active Plan of Liquidation, the Hatteras Core Alternatives Funds are not accepting
new investments.
Effective December 7, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a Plan of Liquidation for the
Hatteras Master Fund, Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund, Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Fund,
Hatteras Core Alternatives Institutional Fund, and the Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI
Institutional Fund, collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”.
On December 7, 2021, the Hatteras Core Alternatives Funds (“the Funds”) exchanged all the
Funds’ underlying investments for an equivalent amount of Beneficient Preferred Series B-2
Unit Accounts (the “Preferred B-2 Units”) and entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Beneficient Company Group, L.P. The initial valuation of the Preferred B-2 Units (the
“Estimated Closing NAV”) was determined using a reference date of September 30, 2021, for the
exchanged investments. The final valuation of the Preferred B-2 Units (the “Adjusted Closing
NAV”) was determined by the value of the exchanged investments as of December 31, 2021. The
Adjusted Closing NAV was finalized as of September 1, 2022.

general market volatility, and numerous other factors unrelated to the operating performance of
the issuer. The Funds have engaged an investment bank to exit the position in a thoughtful
manner. Exit options may include, but are not limited to, underwritten offerings, sales to strategic
investors, privately negotiated block trades, and or public market trading strategies. A full exit
may be achieved through a combination of these options.

Hatteras Evergreen Private Equity Fund, LLC (the "Funds”) is a Delaware Limited
Liability Company that is not registered under the 1940 Act by reason of the provisions of
section 3(c)(7). Historically, the investment objective of the Fund was long-term capital
appreciation through an evergreen portfolio of private equity and related investments ultimately
diversified by vintage year, manager, strategy, and subclass with a focus on lower middle-market
North American buyouts. An evergreen fund generally is a continuously offered investment
vehicle in which distributions generated by underlying portfolio company exits may be
reinvested for the purpose of maintaining a more consistent portfolio
allocation to private
equity.
Effective December 31, 2023, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between RCP Advisors
and Hatteras Investment Partners, LP for the Hatteras Evergreen Private Equity Fund, has been
