Brochure Summary

Overview

ESP is an investment adviser focused on managing privately pooled investment vehicles (individually, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). ESC Investment Advisors LLC (“ESC”), the relying adviser in this Form ADV, is the investment adviser for certain of the Funds. References to ESP in this Part 2A will also be deemed to refer to ESC unless otherwise noted. ESP provides investment management and supervisory services to the Funds in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies set forth in the applicable governing documents. The Funds are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the Funds securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The primary purpose of the Funds is to make venture capital-oriented investments in lower middle- market companies that acquire, develop and operate energy assets in the U.S., Canada and Mexico (as warranted). ESP expects that most investments by the Funds will be made in companies with business plans expected to result in enterprise values of $100 to $500 million. The Funds will follow a venture capital strategy and will seek to realize equity returns by making negotiated equity investments with entrepreneurial, owner-managed companies that have the ability to grow and create equity value. The Company has full discretionary authority with respect
to investment decisions, and its advice with respect to the Funds is tailored according to the investment objectives, guidelines, and requirements as set forth in the applicable governing documents. The Funds’ respective general partners, which are affiliates of the Company (each, a “General Partner”), may enter into agreements with one or more investors which have the effect of altering or supplementing the terms of the offering to the specific investor (each, a “Side Letter”). Any terms contained in such a Side Letter to or with an investor shall govern with respect to such investor notwithstanding the provisions of the Fund’s governing documentation. ESP is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed and began operating in 2018. ESC is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed and began operating in 2011 as a result of the Dodd Frank Act. The common interests of both ESP and ESC are wholly-owned by Energy Spectrum Securities Corporation (“ESSC”), a Texas corporation formed in 1997 with controlling interests held by ESP’s President and Managing Directors, Thomas O. Whitener, Jr., James P. Benson and James W. Spann. Prior to the formation of ESSC, the principals had formed and managed the first of the prior funds in 1996. As of December 31, 2023, ESP and ESC collectively advised approximately $1.887 billion of regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis for the Funds.
