Dwight Securities Management has an incentive and inherent conflict of interest to recommend and favor the
Funds for the following reasons:
• Dwight Securities Management is the investment adviser to the Funds and receives a management fee for
its services. Please refer to Item 5 of this Disclosure Brochure for a description of our fees. Increases in
Funds assets will result in increases in the management fee paid to Dwight Securities Management.
• The Manager provides the Funds with certain administrative services and personnel needed to fulfill its
obligations as the investment adviser to the Funds.
As the managing member of the Funds, Dwight Securities Partners LLC is responsible for the business and affairs of
the Funds (Dwight Securities Partners LLC is under common control with Dwight Securities Management), and
Dwight Securities Management, and certain of its affiliates, manages the Funds’ portfolio and exercises discretionary
authority for investment selection, asset allocation, and asset management decisions of the Funds.
Limits Advice to Certain Types of Investments
Dwight Securities Management provides investment advice on the following types of investments:
• US Government Securities
• Commercial Mortgaged-Backed Securities
• Bridge Loans
Although the Manager generally provides advice only on the products previously listed, we reserve the right to offer
advice on any investment product that may be suitable for each Client’s specific circumstances, needs, goals and
objectives.
It is not our typical investment strategy to attempt to time the market, but we may increase cash holdings modestly
as deemed appropriate for risk mitigation and our expectations of market behavior.
Please refer to Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for more information.
Tailor Advisory Services to Individual Needs of Client
Dwight Securities Management’s advisory services, as it relates to the Funds, are always provided based on Funds’
needs. Our private fund management services are based upon the requirements of the Funds and are not based
upon any specific requirements of an investor within the Funds.
Dwight Securities Management may tailor advisory services to the individual needs of SMA clients and other pooled
investment vehicles which are sub-advised by the Manager on a case-by-case basis and may allow such clients to
impose restrictions on investing in certain securities.
We will not enter into an investment adviser relationship with a prospective client whose investment objectives
may be considered incompatible with our investment philosophy or strategies or where the prospective client seeks
to impose unduly restrictive investment guidelines.
