The Adviser is a registered investment adviser with the SEC. B. Description of Advisory Services (including any specializations) The Adviser provides investment advisory services on a discretionary basis to its clients, which are pooled investment vehicles (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Clients”). Investors in a Fund are generally “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are generally “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and “qualified clients” within the meaning of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act. Currently, the Funds advised by Blue Water consist
