Landscape Capital Management, LLC (“Landscape,” the "Adviser," “our” or “we”) is a
New Jersey limited liability company formed in 2006. The principals of the Adviser are
Kirk Schneider, Michael Morell, Jon Finkel, Josh Gallant and George Papadopoulos
(collectively, the “Principals”). The Adviser is a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of
Landscape Holdings LLC a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2007. In reliance
upon the position expressed in the no-action letter released by the SEC dated January 18,
2012 and later codified by rule Release No. IA-4509, Landscape Alpha Investments, LLC
and Landscape Private Investments, LLC are relying advisers to Landscape. As discussed
in Item 10, such entities serve as general partner to certain of the private funds managed
by Landscape. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the general partners,
which operate as a single advisory business together with Landscape. References to
Landscape or the Adviser in this Brochure include, as the context requires, any affiliates:
(i) through which Landscape provides investment advisory services to the Funds (as
defined below) or (ii) that serve as general partners of the Funds (as defined below).
The Adviser is an investment manager to six private funds. Prior to the rendering of any
advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or more written agreements with
Adviser setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship
(“Agreement(s)”). As of January 31, 2024, the Adviser had $ $1,501,308,087 in regulatory
assets under management, all of which was managed on a discretionary basis.
While this Brochure generally describes the business of the Adviser, certain sections also
discuss the activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to Landscape’s officers,
partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar
functions), employees or any other person who provides investment advice on the
Adviser’s behalf and is subject to Landscape’s supervision or control.
Management of Pooled Investment Vehicles
The Adviser serves as the investment manager of Landscape Capital Partners, LP,
Landscape High Leverage Fund, LP, Landscape Offshore HL Fund Ltd., Landscape
Cayman Fund Limited, Landscape Illiquid Fund II, LP, and Landscape Ventures III LP
(collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are currently exempt from registration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(“Company Act”), and the interests in the
Funds are privately offered pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Securities Act”). Landscape provides investment management services and has
discretionary investment authority over the Funds. Advisory services include the selection
of investments.
Participation as an investor in the Funds is restricted to investors that are qualified clients
pursuant to the requirements under Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended (“Advisers Act”), as well as “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501
of the Securities Act. Further, investors of Landscape High Leverage Fund, LP, Landscape
Offshore HL Fund Ltd. and Landscape Cayman Fund Limited must also be “qualified
purchasers” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Company Act. All relevant
information, terms and conditions relative to the Funds, including the compensation
received by Adviser or an affiliate, withdrawal rights, minimum investments, qualification
requirements, suitability, risk factors, potential conflicts of interest, are set forth in the
relevant confidential private offering memorandum, limited partnership agreement and/or
subscription agreement (collectively the “Offering Documents”), which each investor is
required to receive and/or execute prior to being accepted as an investor in the Funds.
The portfolios of Landscape Capital Partners, LP, Landscape High Leverage Fund, LP,
Landscape Offshore HL Fund Ltd. and Landscape Cayman Fund Limited are managed
under a common hedge fund strategy with a slight variation between portfolios seeking to
maximize after-tax adjusted returns based on each fund’s domicile. Landscape uses various
quantitative methods in its analysis, and uses various traditional and alternative data sets
as inputs, in pursuit of these funds’ objectives. These funds follow a market-neutral style,
having no permanent bias (aside from short-term tactical positioning) to prefer rising or
falling markets, instead seeking to perform well in both.
The portfolios of the other two private funds (Landscape Illiquid Fund II, LP and
Landscape Ventures III, LP) hold illiquid investments, are managed using a process that is
more qualitative in nature, and do not follow a market-neutral style. None of these two
funds is making new investments at present; rather they are managing the harvesting of
investments made in past years or are in the process of liquidating.
