Investment Services
Verger Capital acts as an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (“OCIO”) providing investment advisory
services to private funds and institutional investors, including charitable institutions, foundations, and
endowments. Verger Capital primarily provides discretionary investment advisory services to private
investment funds through a Master-Feeder structure (“Verger Funds”). Verger Capital serves as the
investment adviser to Verger Fund I LLC (“Verger Fund I”), a single investor fund formed and maintained
for the purpose of investing certain assets of Wake Forest University and Verger Capital Fund LLC
(“Verger Capital Fund”), a master fund into which Verger Fund I and Verger Fund II LLC (“Verger Fund
II”) invests all or substantially all of their assets. The Verger Funds are exempt from registration under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the Investment Company Act”), as amended, and the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”).
We also provide discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services, including recommendations
concerning portfolio construction, allocation among asset classes and allocation among unaffiliated
investment managers, to institutional investors such as charitable institutions, private foundations, and
endowment funds (“Custom Accounts”).
Verger Capital provides advice regarding a wide variety of securities, including interests in both private
investment funds and registered investment companies managed by unaffiliated investment advisers
(“underlying funds”).
We enter into sub-advisory relationships
where investment discretion is exercised by a diversified group
of unaffiliated investment advisers (“sub-advisers”) who invest capital of the Verger Funds and the
Custom Accounts in a wide variety of securities and other instruments, including derivative instruments.
Underlying funds, sub-advised accounts and any assets invested directly by Verger Capital on behalf
of a client are referred to collectively as the "Portfolios," and each a "Portfolio." Interests in Verger Funds
will be offered and sold only to qualified investors on a private placement basis. Verger Capital provides
investment advice directly to the Verger Funds, subject to the oversight of the applicable managing
entity or board, and not individually to the investors in the Verger Funds.
We manage Verger Capital clients' assets according to investment guidelines discussed and agreed
upon. These guidelines are tailored to reflect the client’s investment restrictions or limitations. We make
investment decisions consistent with the terms in the investment management agreements with Verger
Capital clients and, where applicable, each Verger Fund's organizational and offering documents.
Limitations on Verger Capital's discretionary authority can result in client accounts that perform
differently (and potentially less successfully) than other accounts with similar strategies managed by
Verger Capital that do not have such limitations.
In managing the Custom Accounts, Verger Capital will execute investments on behalf of the client.
Accordingly, we can purchase, sell, convert, and otherwise acquire or dispose of all forms of securities
and other investments permitted by the investment guidelines, including without limitation: mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), derivatives and portfolios managed
by sub-advisers or other external investment advisers.
