Private Funds
Standard Family Office serves as the manager of and provides investment advisory services to various private
investment funds. Standard Family Office is the sole manager of each fund. Fund assets are held at qualified
custodians, which provide quarterly statements to fund investors. Each fund is subject to a financial statement
audit, annually, by an audit firm registered with and subject to regular inspection by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.
Every private fund we manage is exempt from registration as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The offer and sale of interests in every private fund is also exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 and similar state laws. As investment adviser, Standard Family Office will have sole and
complete responsibility for managing the private funds’ investment portfolios pursuant to the investment objectives
and investment policies of the private fund.
The private funds are intended to provide a convenient means to allow eligible and participating investors to share
fairly in available private and public investment opportunities available to Standard Family Office. As manager of
each fund,
Standard Family Office receives an investment advisory fee, which investment advisory fee is disclosed
to fund investors in each fund’s private placement memorandum (see Item 5 for details). Standard Family Office
has discretionary authority and is responsible for establishing and implementing each private fund’s investment
objectives and policies. (See Item 15 – Investment Discretion for more information).
Investment in Standard Family Office’s affiliated funds are not necessarily suitable for all investors so not all

Potential investors receive a copy of the applicable Confidential Private Placement Memorandum and are required to
