the “Firm”), is an investment adviser with the SEC. The Firm serves as

Types of Advisory Services
Aztlan offers two types of advisory services: Investment Management for
Private Pooled Investment Vehicles and Investment Management for
Separately Managed Accounts:
1. Investment Management Services for Private Pooled Investment
Vehicles
Aztlan manages the Aztlan Private Funds for accredited investors.
Aztlan’s investment management services provided to the Aztlan Private
Funds are detailed in the respective Private Fund’s offering documents,
which includes a Limited Partnership Agreement, Private Placement
Memorandum, Subscription Agreement, and all amendments thereto
(collectively the “Offering Documents”). Aztlan manages the Aztlan assets
based on the investment objectives and restrictions specific to the
respective Private Fund, which are outlined in the Private Fund’s Offering
Documents. The Aztlan Private Funds are pooled investment vehicles, so
Aztlan does not manage a Private Fund’s assets based on the individual
needs and
objectives of any individual investor in any Aztlan Private Fund.
Aztlan will maintain complete investment discretion over Private Fund
assets and will utilize a qualified custodian to provide clearing and custody
services and a third-party administrator to provide client statements and
accounting controls. The Private Funds will be audited annually by an
independent public certified accounting firm.
2. Investment Management Services for Separately Managed Accounts
Aztlan also provides discretionary investment management services to
Clients on a continuous basis and in accordance with the Client’s agreed
upon investment plan. Each Client enters into an investment advisory
agreement with Aztlan, which provides the Firm with a limited power of
attorney to act on a discretionary basis with Client assets. The investment
instruments Aztlan advises its clientele on include, but are not limited to,
cash, cash equivalents, common and preferred stocks, mutual funds,
stock options, corporate, government and municipal bonds, notes, bills
and commercial paper, warrants and rights, convertible bonds,
commodities and commodity futures contracts and other securities as
Aztlan may select. The Firm’s discretionary authority can be subject to
conditions or restrictions imposed by a Client, such as when a Client
restricts or prohibits transactions in a particular security. Aztlan will not
maintain possession or custody of the funds or securities of any Client
receiving Investment Management Services.
As of December 31, 2023, Aztlan, Equity Management, LLC provided
management of client investment portfolios totaling $290,000,000 on a
discretionary basis.
