ADVISORY SERVICES
Navigator Asset Management serves as the investment adviser to certain pooled investment
vehicles (each a “Fund” and collectively, “the Funds”), which rely on the Section 3(c)(1)
exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Investment Company Act”). The Funds, which are organized as a master-feeder structure, are:
Clark FITR US Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“FITR Onshore Fund”); Clark FITR US
Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“FITR Master Fund”); and
Clark FITR Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“FITR Offshore Fund”).
Navigator Asset Management’s investment objective is to seek total return. In seeking to achieve
the investment objective, the Funds will invest, under normal market conditions, in a portfolio of
fixed income and other income producing instruments and equity securities. Navigator Asset
Management will use derivatives and similar instruments to gain exposure to such securities and
instruments. Navigator Asset Management provides advisory services to the Funds pursuant to
investment management agreements that it has entered into with each Fund. Navigator Asset
Management has discretionary authority to manage the Funds’ assets, which includes determining
the securities and instruments to be bought or sold for each Fund and the broker-dealer or
counterparty to be used for the purchase or sale of securities and instruments. In addition,
Navigator Asset Management’s services include, without limitation: identifying and screening
potential investments; conducting diligence on the Funds’ investments; monitoring the
performance of investments; and preparing reports necessary or appropriate for the Funds’
investors. Navigator Asset Management does not participate in wrap fee programs or advise any
separate accounts.
Navigator Asset Management’s management of the Funds is governed by each Fund’s offering
memorandum, organizational documents and the investment management agreement between
Navigator Asset Management and each Fund (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), as
applicable. Navigator Asset Management does not
customize its investment advice based on the
needs of any particular investor in the Fund. Investors in the Funds should refer to the Governing
Documents for the Funds for additional information associated with their investment and the
management, strategy and risks associated with each of the Funds. Subject to applicable law and
the Funds’ Governing Documents, however, Navigator Asset Management may enter into side
letters or other arrangements with specific Fund investors that may provide for terms of investment
that are more favorable than the terms provided to other investors in the Funds. Such side letters or
other writings may have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, the
terms of such investors in the Funds, including with respect to waivers or reductions of the
management fee and the incentive allocation (i.e., carried interest), access to information, more
favorable transfer rights, and other similar rights and preferences. Any rights established, or any
terms altered or supplemented, will govern only that Fund investor and not the Funds or all of its
investors as a whole. Investors in the Funds should refer to the Governing Documents for the Funds
for additional information associated with their investment and the management, strategy and risks
associated with each of the Funds.
