Dorsey Asset Management, LLC (hereinafter “Dorsey,” or the “firm”) is a Limited Liability Company organized
in the State of Illinois. Dorsey was formed on July 31, 2013, and its principal owner is Patrick W. Dorsey.
Overview
Dorsey provides investment advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, charitable organizations
and institutions. Dorsey also serves as the investment manager to certain private fund(s). These services are
described generally below and in greater detail in the relevant advisory agreement and/or offering documents of
the private fund.
Separately Managed Accounts
Dorsey provides investment advisory services to separately managed accounts (“Separately Managed Accounts”).
Prior to providing such services, Dorsey requires each client to enter into a written agreement that sets forth the
terms and conditions under which Dorsey will render its services and make investment decisions on behalf of the
client (the “advisory agreement”). Dorsey aims to manage the Funds (as defined below) and Separately Managed
Accounts (collectively, “clients”) in pari passu fashion. Typically, client accounts follow a long-only concentrated
strategy and invest in equities, including but not limited to global equities and American Depository Receipts
(“ADRs”). Dorsey generally limits its investment advice to U.S. and non-U.S. equities. Separately Managed
Account clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with
their values or beliefs. Such requests must be made in writing in the advisory agreement and signed by the client
and Dorsey. Clients should inform Dorsey if their investment objectives change after the advisory agreement is
executed.
Private Funds
Dorsey serves as the investment adviser to certain private fund(s), including the Global Moat Fund, LP, the Global
Moat Offshore Fund, LP, and the DAM SIF I, LP (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are
exempt from registration as an investment company under Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (“Company Act”). Each Fund may have different investment features,
which may include
varying levels of fees, withdrawal rights, investment guidelines, investment minimums, investor qualification
standards and liquidity terms. Dorsey tailors its investment advisory services for a private fund to the Fund’s
overall investment program, and not to the needs of any underlying investor therein.
The advisory services Dorsey provides to the Funds are governed by the relevant Fund documents and the
investment advisory agreements. Generally, the Funds invest in a concentrated portfolio of companies Dorsey
evaluates to have sustainable competitive advantages and the potential to provide above average returns. The
Funds expect to maintain investments globally in approximately 10-15 portfolio companies; however, Dorsey
may choose to invest in a larger or smaller number of companies. This Brochure should not be considered an
offering document for any of the Funds for which Dorsey provides investment advisory services and investors
should refer to the respective Fund offering memorandum or organizational documents for a complete description
of the relevant Fund, including its strategies, risks, conflicts of interest, fees and expenses. Accordingly, investors
should consider whether the Fund meets their investment objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing.
Investment Advisory Agreements
Dorsey’s investment advisory agreements contain an authorization by which clients grant Dorsey discretion to
make purchases and sales for their accounts without requiring Dorsey to obtain their consent or approval prior to
each transaction, to select the types and amounts of securities that Dorsey buys or sells for their accounts, the
broker or dealer Dorsey uses to effect such transactions and the commission rates paid. As noted above, certain
clients may specify their investment objectives and guidelines, direct brokerage, select their portfolio strategy and
impose certain restrictions or investment parameters.
Assets Under Management
As of February 29, 2024, Dorsey managed $1,113,609,479 in assets on a discretionary basis. Dorsey does not
currently manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis.
