Overview
Patient Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Firm”) is a Delaware limited
liability company that was founded in 2020. PCM is owned by Samantha
McLemore and a living trust established for the benefit of William H. Miller, III.
Ms. McLemore and Mr. Miller are the founding members. Ms. McLemore is
responsible for managing the day-to-day business of the Firm. As of December
31, 2023, PCM managed approximately $1.75 billion in assets on a discretionary
basis.
PCM provides investment management services to a mutual fund, institutions,
and high net worth individuals, in addition to private funds that are offered
exclusively to sophisticated investors. Investors in the private funds will be
accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and qualified clients (as defined in Rule
205-3 promulgated under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended).
The Firm also provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advice to
other financial service firms and/or overlay managers through the delivery of
model investment portfolios.
The Firm offers investment advisory services to sophisticated investors on a
discretionary basis through separately managed accounts, which may utilize
strategies similar to the other portfolios managed by the Firm. The Firm may also
provide customized advisory services based on individual objectives. The Firm
does not hold itself out as specializing in a particular type of advisory service.
The Firm’s strategies adhere firmly to a value-driven, research-intensive
investment process. By adhering to a consistent, value-driven process, the Firm
strives to outperform its benchmarks over the long term. PCM actively selects
securities that it believes are trading at a discount to intrinsic value.
PCM currently offers the following investment strategy:
Opportunity Strategy
The Opportunity strategy seeks to provide clients with long-term capital
appreciation. The portfolio managers exercise flexible strategies in the selection
of investments, not limited by investment style or asset class, and accounts may
be invested in securities, derivatives, and other financial instruments. The
registered fund that utilizes this strategy has a broad mandate (for example, the
ability to utilize direct leverage, derivatives, privately placed securities, IPOs,
and exposure to crypto currencies) that may increase risk and volatility of
investment performance.
Model Programs
The Firm also provides non-discretionary investment advice to other financial
service firms (“Program Sponsors”) and/or overlay managers through the
delivery of model investment portfolios (“Non-Discretionary Model Program” or
the “Model Program”).
In the Non-Discretionary Model Program, the Firm does not consider itself to
have an advisory relationship with clients of the Program Sponsor or overlay
manager. If this brochure
is delivered to Program Sponsor’s model-based clients
with whom the Firm does not have an advisory relationship, or where it is not
legally required to be delivered, it is provided for informational purposes only.
Program Sponsors are responsible for reviewing their clients’ financial
circumstances and investment objectives and determining the suitability of the
Firm’s strategy and the Model Program for their clients (“participants”).
Generally, Program Sponsors are primarily responsible for client contact. Subject
to applicable law and fiduciary obligations, the Firm will make reasonably
available to Program Sponsors and their clients certain staff knowledgeable
about the services being provided by the Firm for discussions at the strategy
level.
In the Model Program, the Firm provides model portfolio advice through an
agreement with Program Sponsors and/or an overlay manager. The Firm
monitors and updates the model portfolios on an ongoing basis and delivers
updates to the Program Sponsor or overlay manager. Program Sponsors or an
overlay manager will provide participants the services described in the Program
Sponsor’s or overlay manager’s agreement with such participants, including
selection of the investment strategies based on information provided by the
participant. The Firm does not provide customized investment advice or
recommendations to Model Program participants. No model portfolio is
personalized or in any way tailored by the Firm to reflect the personal financial
circumstances or investment objectives of any participant. In the Non-
Discretionary Model Program, the Program Sponsor retains investment and
brokerage discretion and is responsible for all investment decisions. The Firm
does not have brokerage discretion in any Model Program and thus has no
authority to place orders for the execution of transactions.
In addition to the investment strategies described above, the Firm may, from
time to time, agree to manage accounts according to different investment
guidelines specifically negotiated with a client.
Additional Information
PCM’s strategies tend to be relatively concentrated and this concentration,
together with potential exposure to smaller companies, is likely to create more
volatility over shorter time periods versus other investments or more diversified
strategies.
The Firm’s investment management services are typically provided on a fully
discretionary basis; however, clients may request that the Firm adhere to
restrictions in managing their accounts (for example, limits on the percentage
invested in a particular security or type of security; limits on industry
concentration; or prohibitions against investments in particular securities or
types of securities). In most circumstances, the Firm will accommodate
requested client restrictions provided they do not interfere materially with the
portfolio construction process.
