The Adviser provides discretionary investment advisory services to private funds which are often referred
to as “Funds” and special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”, and collectively with the Funds, the “Clients”). Each
Client is a privately offered pooled investment vehicle. The Adviser generally has broad and flexible
investment authority with respect to the Funds’ investment portfolios and a narrower investment mandate
with respect to the SPVs’ investment portfolios. As detailed below, the Adviser typically forms the SPVs
to facilitate various co-investment opportunities in one specified portfolio company. In any case, the
Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Clients
based on each Client’s specific investment
objectives and strategies and does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors in the
Clients. Each Client’s Governing Documents (defined below) will outline investment and portfolio
restrictions, if any.
Unless otherwise stated in the Client’s Governing Documents, when the Adviser or affiliate, as applicable,
deems it appropriate, it will at times, but shall not be obligated to, provide the Funds’ investors or third
parties with co-investment opportunities. The Adviser typically arranges for such co-investment
opportunities through the formation of SPVs. Decisions regarding whether and to whom to offer such co-
investment opportunities are made at the sole discretion of the Adviser or affiliate or as otherwise detailed
in the applicable Governing Documents of a Fund. Moreover, at the Adviser’s sole discretion, its Principals,
employees, and Funds will at times invest in the SPVs. The economic and other terms of any such SPV will
be determined by the Adviser in its discretion, and in accordance with applicable governing law and Clients’
Governing Documents, on a case-by-case basis, and the Adviser or affiliate will receive fees and/or
allocations from co-investors, which can differ among co-investors.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser had approximately $497,443,480 in regulatory assets under
management which were managed on a discretionary basis.
The Adviser does not participate in a wrap fee program.
