The Adviser
For purposes of this brochure, the “Adviser” or “HC Royalty” means HealthCare Royalty Management,
LLC (“HCRM”), a Delaware limited liability company.
HC Royalty was launched in January 2007 in a strategic partnership with Cowen, Inc. (together with certain
of its affiliates, “Cowen”), now known as TD Cowen, which is a division of TD Securities which is a
subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank”).
HCRM is managed by Vanderbilt Capital Partners, LLC (“VCP”) subject to an agreement with Cowen
Investment Management, LLC (“CIM”) which entitles CIM to a minority vote on matters related to
HCRM’s operations as well as to receive a portion of HCRM’s revenue and designate two persons on
HCRM’s operating committee. VCP is ultimately owned and controlled by Clarke Futch. CIM is owned
through certain subsidiaries by TD Bank.
Advisory Services
The Adviser provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles that are exempt from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and whose securities
are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each, a “Fund” and
collectively, the “Funds”). As the investment adviser of the Funds, the Adviser’s services consist of
identifying opportunities for acquisition, management, monitoring, and disposition of investments of the
Funds. Investment advice is provided directly to our Clients (as defined below). In the case of the Funds,
such advice is subject to the discretion and control of the general partner of the applicable Fund. Investment
advice is not provided individually to the limited partners of the Funds.
The Funds currently advised by the Adviser are: HealthCare Royalty Partners, L.P. (“Fund I”), HealthCare
Royalty Partners III, L.P. and HealthCare Royalty Partners III-A, L.P. (collectively, “Fund III”), HealthCare
Royalty Partners IV, L.P. and HealthCare Royalty Partners IV-A, L.P. (collectively, “Fund IV”), HCR
H.O.P. Fund, L.P. (“HOP”), HCR Molag Fund, L.P. (“Molag”), HCR Potomac Fund II, L.P. (“Potomac
II”), HCR Stafford Fund
II, L.P. (“Stafford II”), HCRX Holdings, L.P. (“HCRX Holdings”), HCRX
Intermediate Holdco, L.P. (“HCRX Intermediate”), HCRX Investments Holdco, L.P. (“HCRX
Investments”) and HCR Canary Fund, L.P. (“Canary”). HCRM may, in its discretion, create additional
funds or feeder or parallel funds in respect of its existing Funds in accordance with the relevant Fund’s
governing documents (either by itself or with an affiliate), and may manage one or more separately managed
accounts (collectively, the “Managed Accounts” and, together with the Funds, the “Clients”).
On behalf of its Clients, the Adviser seeks to achieve superior investment returns primarily by purchasing
royalties and using debt-like structures to invest in commercial or near-commercial stage healthcare assets.
The Adviser generally employs a strategy of pursuing investments that are able to generate consistent,
predictable cash flows, attractive yields, and gross returns that are generally uncorrelated to the overall
public and private capital markets.
The Adviser expects in the future to organize other investment funds, including feeder funds for the Funds
or parallel funds for employees of the Adviser, or manage investment funds or separately managed accounts
that may either co-invest with the Clients or follow an investment program similar to or different from the
Clients’ programs. The Adviser may also establish special purpose vehicles or subsidiaries, and it or the
Funds may invest in or act through such special purpose vehicles or subsidiaries or manage additional
separately managed accounts.
Services are provided to the Clients in accordance with the Advisory Agreements with the Clients and/or
organizational documents of the applicable Fund. Investment restrictions for the Funds, if any, are generally
established in the organizational or offering documents of the applicable Fund.
HC Royalty does not participate in wrap fee programs.
