Description of Advisory Services
Emerging Markets PE Advisory Services. Since the Firm’s founding in 1994, Zephyr has created and managed
pooled investment vehicles that invest globally in private equity and venture capital securities (collectively,
the “PE Funds”), each of which are managed by general partner-like entities, affiliated with the Firm (each a
“General/Managing Partner,” and collectively, the “General/Managing Partners”). Currently, Zephyr’s
Emerging Markets PE investment strategy (the “Emerging Markets PE Strategy”) is focused on private equity
financing for small to medium sized companies in India and early-stage enterprises in Sub Saharan East Africa.
Zephyr Waterfield Advisory Services. Since 2020, in collaboration with Waterfield Advisors Private Limited, a
wealth and family office advisory firm based in India, the Firm also manages the Zephyr Waterfield Funds
(each a “Zephyr Waterfield Fund”; collectively, the “Zephyr Waterfield Funds”). The U.S. Zephyr Waterfield
Funds are organized as series vehicles of Zephyr Waterfield U.S. Funds, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, while the non-U.S. Zephyr Waterfield Funds are organized as series vehicles of Zephyr Waterfield
Fund Ltd., a Bermuda segregated accounts company. Each Zephyr Waterfield Fund has its own distinct
objective, strategy and policies so that the Zephyr Waterfield Funds offering in its entirety provides a range of
investment options. The investment objective of each Zephyr Waterfield Fund is to achieve long-term capital
appreciation through investment in a diversified portfolio of liquid publicly-traded assets including exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”) and actively and passively managed mutual funds. Each Zephyr Waterfield Fund
measures its performance against a custom benchmark that is a weighted blend of indices relevant to each
Zephyr Waterfield Fund’s investment strategy.
Each of the PE Funds and Zephyr Waterfield Funds are referred to as a “Fund” and collectively as “Funds”
throughout the Brochure. The Funds are exempt from registration under Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and are offered to investors on a private placement basis. The
investment strategies of the Funds are further described in Item 8.
The Firm’s investment decisions and advice with respect to each Fund are subject to such Fund’s investment
objectives and guidelines as set forth in the applicable investment management agreement, offering
memorandum, limited partnership agreement, subscription materials or other governing documents
(collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Investors in the Funds (referred to herein as “Investors”) generally
cannot impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Investors participate in the
overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but can be excused from a particular investment due to
legal, regulatory or other applicable constraints, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Governing
Documents. In accordance with industry common practice, the Firm or a Fund’s General/Managing Partner
may enter into side letters or similar agreements with certain Investors in the Funds that have the effect of
establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of, the relevant agreement with respect to
such Investors (“Side Letters”). Examples of Side Letter rights include certain fee provisions, information
rights, liquidity and withdrawal provisions, concentration limits, notification provisions and most favored
nations provisions. These rights, benefits or privileges are not always made available to all Investors nor in
some cases are they required to be disclosed to all Investors, consistent with general market practice.
