Description of the Investment Manager
Tenere Capital, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, was founded in
November 2020 to provide discretionary investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles
organized as private investment funds. Daniel Benel is a principal owner of the Investment Manager and
serves as President (herein referred to as the “Principal”). The Investment Manager and the General
Partner (defined below) were established by the Principal and LionTree Partners LLC, a merchant bank,
and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Aryeh B. Bourkoff (collectively, “LionTree”). Mr. Bourkoff is
also a principal owner of the Investment Manager but is not involved in the provision of advisory services
by the Investment Manager to its clients.
The Investment Manager currently advises the “Tenere Crossover Fund”, which operates through a
“master-feeder structure” that includes the following entities:
Tenere Capital Fund (Onshore), LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Onshore Feeder”);
Tenere Capital Fund (Offshore), LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the
“Offshore Feeder”); and
Tenere Capital Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the
“Master Fund”).
It should be noted that the Onshore Feeder and the Offshore Feeder invest substantially all of their assets
in the Master Fund.
The Investment Manager also advises the Tenere Liquid Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Tenere Liquid Fund”).
The Investment Manager’s private investment fund clients are collectively referred to herein as a “Fund”
or the “Funds”, as applicable.
Tenere Capital Fund GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) is an affiliate of the Investment Manager and acts as
general partner to certain of the Funds.
The Investment Manager has partnered with LionTree to provide operating infrastructure, access to
proprietary private deal flow, and industry-level market insight. This partnership provides business
stability, operational support and enhances the scope and quality of the Funds’ investment process.
Please see additional disclosure in Item 10 below.
Types of Advisory Services Offered
The principal investment objective of the Tenere Crossover Fund is to pursue a primarily long-only equity
investment strategy that invests in both early-stage growth companies and mid-cap to large-cap equities,
across private and public markets. The Tenere Liquid Fund invests on a pari passu basis with the publicly
traded portfolio of the Tenere Crossover Fund. Subject to the sole discretion of the General Partner,
investors typically must be invested
in the Tenere Crossover Fund to be eligible to invest in the Tenere
Liquid Fund.
The Funds are particularly focused on the Technology, Media and Telecom (“TMT”) markets and
companies that are benefiting from digital transformations. The team expects the portfolio to be
concentrated and for core positions to be held for a long duration. There can be no assurance that the
Funds’ investment objective will be achieved, and investment results may vary substantially on a
monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The Investment Manager’s methods of analysis are further
described in Item 8 (Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss) herein.
As part of its investment program, the Tenere Crossover Fund may pursue opportunities in private
investments which may include minority, preferred or other equity or debt investments in private
companies (the “Private Investments”). Private Investments will generally be held in “Private Investment
Accounts” on the books and records of the respective Funds until realization or partial realization (or
deemed realization).
The particular investment objectives, strategies, fees and risks of each Fund are contained in the
respective Fund’s confidential offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”).
Availability of Services Tailored to Specific Client Needs
The Investment Manager has broad and flexible investment authority with respect to the Funds and its
services are tailored to achieving the investment objectives as stated in each Fund’s Memorandum. The
Investment Manager does not tailor its services to the individual needs of any investor in the Funds.
The General Partner and/or the Investment Manager, without notice to or consent from existing or
prospective Fund investors, has entered into side letters or similar separate agreements with one or more
Fund investors that alter the terms and conditions described in the respective Memorandum or other
governing document solely with respect to the parties to such side letters or similar separate agreements
(including, without limitation, with respect to fees, transfers, withdrawals, transparency, notices and
reporting and disclosure).
Wrap Fee Programs
The Investment Manager does not participate in wrap fee programs.
Client Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, the Investment Manager has approximately $553,908,000 of regulatory assets
under management on a discretionary basis.
