A. Trive Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Trive Capital”),
was formed on April 9, 2012, with its office headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Trive Capital’s
principal owner is Trive Management Holdings, LP, and its managing member is Trive
Capital Holdings, LLC, which is ultimately owned and controlled by Michael Conner
Searcy and Christopher Zugaro. For more information regarding the principal owners of
Trive Capital, please review Schedule A and Schedule B of Part 1A of Form ADV. Trive
Capital, any “Relying Adviser” listed in Schedule R in Part 1A of Trive Capital’s Form
ADV, and any of their respective affiliates are referred to herein as “Trive”.
Two Relying Advisers, Trive Capital Partners, LP (“Capital Partners”) and Trive
Structured Capital Partners, LP (“Structured Capital Partners”) were formed in
December 2020. The Advisers each have their office headquarters in Dallas, Texas.
Another Relying Adviser, Trive Mockingbird Management LLC (“Trive Mockingbird”)
was formed in October 2020. The Filing Adviser and Relying Advisers together file a
single form ADV in reliance on the umbrella registration provisions provided in SEC
Release No. IA-4509.
B. Trive provides investment management and other services with respect to affiliated private
funds and co-investment vehicles (each a “Fund” and, collectively the “Funds”) with
respect to investments in portfolio companies and other investments. In providing
investment advice, Trive follows the investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions set
forth in the applicable governing and/or offering documents of each Fund.
Trive and its affiliates have established one or more affiliated co-investment vehicles,
comprised of principals and employees of Trive, affiliates of Trive, officers, directors
and/or other persons associated with portfolio companies, service providers and/or other
third parties deemed strategically important to Trive or a Fund, to invest “side-by-side”
with a Fund in investments.
Trive Capital and the Relying Advisers do not act as general partners or in a similar
managing capacity for any Fund. Instead, certain of Trive Capital’s affiliates serve as
general partners or in a similar capacity (each, a “general partner”) of the Funds and rely
on Trive Capital and/or the Relying Advisers to perform investment advisory services to
the Funds.
C. Trive provides discretionary investment advisory and other services to the Funds. Trive
Capital and Capital Partners seek to invest in deep value, lower middle-market private
equity opportunities in North America. Structured Capital Partners seeks to make equity,
debt and debt-related investments by providing capital for, and obtaining non-controlling
or other similar interests in, middle-market businesses through a variety of transaction
structures. Trive Mockingbird seeks to invest in senior secured corporate loans and
corporate debt instruments of stressed and distressed public and private companies (the
“Mockingbird Strategy”). Trive’s services consist of managing each of the Fund’s
portfolios, including sourcing, selecting, determining investments in, and monitoring
investments of the Funds and the execution of transactions on behalf of the Funds. Trive is
responsible for investing the assets of each Fund in accordance with the investment
objectives, policies, and guidelines set forth in its offering and governing documents.
Investors generally are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations on the
management of the Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the general partner of each Fund
may enter into side letter agreements or arrangements with investors that alter, modify or
change the terms of the interests held by such investors. See Item 8.
D. Trive does not participate in or sponsor any wrap fee programs.
E. As of December 31, 2023, Trive had regulatory assets under management of $
6,735,305,071. All of these assets were managed on a discretionary basis. Assets and
commitments of certain Funds that are managed through another Fund have been excluded
from the calculation of regulatory assets under management in order to avoid double
counting.
