Brochure Summary

Overview

The Firm Pleiad Investment Advisors Limited (“Pleiad” or the “Firm”), a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 24, 2014, is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Firm has its principal office and place of business in Hong Kong. Under the Hong Kong regulatory regime, companies that conduct regulated activities in Hong Kong must be licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”). The Firm is licensed by the SFC with a Type 9 (Asset Management) License for the regulated activity of asset management pursuant to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance and its subsidiary legislation (the “SFO”). The Firm has its principal office and place of business outside the United States. This Brochure is provided to the Firm’s U.S. investors in connection with their investment in the pooled investment vehicles managed by the Firm. Principal Owners The Firm was founded by Kenneth Lee and Michael Yoshino (the “Founders”), who together own the Firm, equally and jointly (via holding companies), through Pleiad Investment Management Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 24, 2014. Types of Services Offered The Firm offers asset management services only to “Professional Investors” within the meaning of the SFO. Under the SFO, regulated activity of asset management means providing a service of managing a portfolio of securities or futures contracts for clients on a discretionary basis. This category of regulated activity will cover discretionary investment managers, whether managing a fund or an advisory account. In the United States, the Firm’s advisory services are currently offered only through investment in pooled investment vehicles discussed below. All the pooled investment vehicles managed by the Firm are unregistered private investment funds and are only available to persons who are both “Accredited Investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and “Qualified Purchasers” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the U.S. of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Below is a brief description of the investment strategies offered by the Firm.
• Asia Equities Long Short Strategy: A research intensive, fundamentally driven long-short on Asia. Through a bottom-up security selection process, this strategy seeks to long or short securities of companies where the market price is deemed to represent a compelling risk-reward opportunity relative to the Firm’s assessment of the underlying fundamentals. This strategy is offered through private pooled vehicles managed by the Firm, namely Pleiad Asia Master Fund and its feeder funds.
• Asia Equities Long-Only Strategy: A research intensive, fundamentally driven long-only on Asia.
