Overview
Alta Fundamental Advisers LLC (“AFA”, the “Adviser”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Delaware
limited liability company, was formed in January 2013 and is managed by its Managing Members,
Gilbert Li and Jeremy Carton. AFA provides discretionary investment advisory services to U.S.
and non-U.S. clients (collectively, “Clients”), including private investment funds (“AFA Funds”
or “Funds”) and separately managed accounts (each a “Separately Managed Account”). The
AFA Funds include:
Alta Fundamental Advisers Onshore L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Onshore
Feeder”);
Alta Fundamental Advisers Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Offshore
Feeder”, and together with the Onshore Feeder, the “Feeder Funds”);
Alta Fundamental Advisers Master L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership
(“Master Fund”); and
Alta Fundamental Advisers SP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
AFA provides advice to Clients based on their specific investment objectives and strategies as set
forth in the offering memorandum and governing documents of each Fund (collectively the
“Offering Documents”) and the investment management agreement between AFA and each
Separately Managed Account Client.
Generally, investors in any of the AFA Funds do not have the ability to individually tailor their
investments or impose specific investment restrictions. However, when deemed appropriate, a
Fund may create a special class of interests or shares to accommodate a particular investor’s, or a
group of investors’, unique investment restrictions.
The investment objectives, fee arrangements and terms of Separately Managed Accounts are
individually negotiated by AFA and the Separately Managed
Account Client. Any such Separately
Managed Account relationships may be subject to significant account minimums.
AFA has entered into letter agreements or other similar agreements, and may do so in the future,
(collectively, “Side Letters”) with one or more Clients which provide such Clients with additional
and/or different rights (including, without limitation, with respect to management and incentive
fees, incentive allocations, minimum investment amounts, access to information, investment
portfolios, and liquidity terms) than other investors. AFA or the Funds will not be required to
notify any or all of the other investors of any such classes of Side Letters or any of the rights and/or
terms or provisions thereof, nor will AFA or the Funds be required to offer such additional and/or
different rights and/or terms to any or all of the other Clients or investors therein.
AFA does not participate in wrap fee programs.
In 2020, AFA entered into a sub advisory agreement with Belstar Management Company LLC
(“Belstar”) to participate in the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) program
offered by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Two series were created under Alta Fundamental Advisers
SP LLC to purchase AAA-rated asset backed securities which were then submitted to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York as collateral in exchange for non-recourse loans. AFA acts as manager
and Belstar acts as investment adviser. AFA does not have discretion over the assets in these series.
As of December 31, 2023, AFA had approximately $723,290,000 of regulatory assets under
management on a discretionary basis and $628,133,000 of regulatory assets under management on
a non-discretionary basis.
