Firm Description 
Cortland Investment Management, LLC (together with its general partners and relying advisers (unless 
otherwise specified), the “Investment Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, is a real estate 
investment advisory firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with offices in Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, 
Houston,  Orlando,  Phoenix  and  Greenwich,  Connecticut.  Cortland  is  a  vertically  integrated 
investment management and operating platform with expertise in the acquisition, development, asset 
management and property management of multifamily properties.  
The Investment Manager’s parent company, Cortland Holdings, LLC was founded in 2005 (“CH”). 
CH, together with its subsidiaries and CH’s affiliate, Cortland Partners, LLC and its subsidiaries (“CP”) 
are  subsidiaries  of  CIOPS  Consolidated  Holdings,  LLC  (the  “Parent  Company”).  The  registrant, 
Cortland Investment Management, LLC, was founded in 2018 to act as the investment adviser to the 
Funds (as defined below). At times, this Brochure references “Cortland” generally. Cortland is a brand 
identifier for a family of companies that invests in, owns, develops and manages multifamily apartment 
communities and provides certain ancillary services in connection therewith. References to “Cortland” 
also  includes  the  Parent  Company  and  its  relevant  subsidiaries,  including,  without  limitation,  the 
Investment Manager. 
The  Investment  Manager  currently  acts  as  an  investment  adviser  for  and  provides  discretionary 
investment advisory services to two types of real estate investment fund products, all exempt from 
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“Investment Company Act”):  
(i) the opportunistic funds, Cortland Partners Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Cortland Partners Fund III, 
LLC (“Fund III”), Cortland Partners Fund IV, LLC (“Fund IV”), Cortland Enhanced Value Fund V, 
L.P.  (“Fund  V”)  and  Cortland  Enhanced  Value  Fund  VI,  L.P.  (“Fund  VI”)  (collectively,  the 
“Opportunistic Funds”) and (ii) an income fund, (Cortland Growth and Income, L.P. (the “Income 
Fund”)).  The  Opportunistic  Funds  and  the  Income  Fund  intend  to  rely  on  and  qualify  for  the 
exclusions from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Sections 3(c)(7),  3(c)(5)(c) or 
3(c)(6) of the Investment Company Act. The Investment Manager also acts as an investment adviser 
to co-investment special purpose vehicles established to invest alongside a fund in a single asset or 
portfolio investment (“Co-Investment Funds” and collectively with the previously mentioned funds, 
the “Funds”, unless the context otherwise requires).  
Each Fund is affiliated with either (i) a general partner or (ii) a manager, which is a “relying adviser” 
(collectively, the general partners and relying advisers, the  “General Partners”), in each case which 
have the authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the Funds. The General Partners are 
deemed registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”), pursuant 
to the Investment Manager’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. The applicable General 
Partner of each Fund retains investment discretion and investors in the Funds do not participate in 
the control or management of the Funds. While the General Partners maintain ultimate authority over 
the respective Funds, the Investment Manager has been designated the role of investment adviser. 
The  General  Partners  are,  directly  and  indirectly,  wholly-owned  by  CP.  For  more  information 
regarding the Funds, General Partners and relying advisers, please see the Investment Manager’s Form 
ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Sections 7.A and 7.B.(1) and Schedule R.  
Advisory Services 
The Investment Manager provides advisory, management, administrative and other services to private 
pooled investment vehicles and other entities and ventures primarily with respect to direct or indirect 
investments  in  multifamily  real  estate  properties,  interests  and  assets  through  privately  negotiated 
transactions in multifamily properties located in target growth markets. The Investment Manager’s 
investment  advisory  services  to  the  Funds  consist  of  identifying  and  evaluating  investment 
opportunities, negotiating the terms of investments, managing the investment in the properties and 
achieving  dispositions,  refinances  or  other  capital  transactions  with  respect  to  the  investment 
properties. Cortland or its affiliates, including, without limitation, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the 
Funds, also acts as the managing member or general partner (on behalf of certain Funds and other 
investment  vehicles)  for  other  joint  venture  partnerships,  with  respect  to  which  the  Investment 
Manager  provides  continuous  and  regular  supervisory  management  or  services  but  which  are  not 
securities and therefore are not included in the Investment Manager’s Form ADV.  
The Investment Manager and its affiliates have created
                                        
                                        
                                             various special purpose entities to facilitate the 
investments of the Funds. The Opportunistic Fund investments primarily consist of direct or indirect 
equity investments in partnerships or limited liability companies (referred to as “Subpartnerships”) 
that  in  turn  invest,  directly  or  indirectly,  in  real  estate.  Each  Subpartnership  invests  in an  existing 
property to be renovated, developed, operated, sold, or otherwise disposed with the exception of Fund 
V and Fund VI (each of which invests a minority of its capital commitments in such structure). The 
Opportunistic Funds invest the majority of their capital commitments through their Subpartnerships 
in joint ventures with institutional financial partners in which each Opportunistic Fund provides a 
portion  only  of  each  joint  venture’s  equity  capital  commitments.  Target  capital  commitments  for 
investment in Subpartnerships vary by Fund and are described in each Fund’s Governing Documents.  
The Investment Manager does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors in 
its Funds; the Investment Manager’s investment advice and authority for each Fund is tailored to the 
investment  objectives  of  that  Fund.  The  Investment  Manager’s  investment  advice  is  provided  in 
accordance with the investment objectives, strategies, restrictions and terms and conditions set forth 
in  and  governed  by  the  applicable  offering,  operating  and  governing  documents  (the  “Governing 
Documents”). The information in this Brochure is qualified in its entirety by the information set forth 
in such documents.    
Fund investors cannot impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities, other 
than  through  side  letter  agreements.  Investors  in  the  Funds  participate  in  the  overall  investment 
program for the applicable Fund and cannot be excused from a particular investment except pursuant 
to the terms of the applicable Governing Documents; however, Income Fund investors are permitted 
certain redemption provisions as specified in the Governing Documents.  
In accordance with industry common practice, the Investment Manager has entered into side letters 
or similar agreements with certain investors, including those who make substantial commitments of 
capital or were early-stage investors in the Funds or for other reasons in the sole discretion of the 
Investment Manager. In each case that have the effect of establishing, altering or supplementing rights 
(including  preferential  economic  terms)  under  a  Fund’s  Governing  Documents.  Examples  of  side 
letter  rights  entered  into  include  co-investment  rights  and  provisions  whereby  investors  have 
expressed an interest in participating in co-investment opportunities, advisory board representation, 
certain  fee  arrangements,  notification  provisions,  regulatory  considerations  with  regard  to  specific 
investors,  redemption  and  opt  out  rights,  reporting  requirements  and  “most  favored  nations” 
provisions,  among  others.  These  rights,  benefits  or  privileges are  not  always  made available  to  all 
investors,  consistent  with  the  Governing  Documents  and  general  market  practice.  Side  letters  are 
negotiated at the time of the relevant investor’s commitment, and once invested in a Fund, investors 
generally cannot impose additional investment guidelines or restrictions on such Fund, except through 
the Governing Document amendment process set forth in each Fund’s limited partnership agreement.   
There can be no assurance that the side letter rights granted to one or more investors will not in certain 
cases disadvantage other investors.
