Brochure Summary

Overview

K5 Global Advisor LLC (“K5 Global”) is a limited liability company organized in Delaware established in 2021. K5 Global was founded by Michael Kives and Bryan Baum (collectively, the “Principals”), who are the principal owners of K5 Global through their respective holding companies. K5 Global is a private investment firm operating in the United States with offices in Miami, Florida. K5 Global provides investment advisory services to investment vehicles (the “Funds”) that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Certain advisory affiliates of K5 Global serve as managing members or general partners of the Funds (each a “General Partner” and collectively, the “General Partners”). Each General Partner is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to K5 Global’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the General Partners, which operate as a single advisory business together with K5 Global. The Funds are structured as closed-end investment vehicles and focus primarily on making venture capital investments in private companies across multiple sectors. In addition, K5 Global manages co-investment vehicles that invest alongside the Funds. As used herein, “Funds” refers to the Funds and any co-investment vehicles formed from time to time, together with subsequently sponsored funds and their related vehicles and co-investment vehicles formed from time to time, and any similar pooled investment vehicles formed or managed by K5 Global or its affiliates. Certain of the Funds are structured as stand-alone investment vehicles, while other Funds are structured as series of a Delaware series limited liability companies. In addition, certain of the Funds are pooled investment vehicles having multiple Investors (as defined below), while other Funds have only one Investor (and in such case will also be referred to as a “Fund” herein). Furthermore, certain of the Funds hold securities of multiple issuers, while other Funds are “SPV” in nature in that they only hold the securities of one issuer or a limited number of issuers. In the future, K5 Global is permitted to provide investment advisory services to one or more newly formed Funds or separately managed accounts. K5 Global provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds in respect of their investment portfolios, as well as certain ancillary managerial and administrative services, including, without limitation, (i) identifying, screening, and evaluating investment opportunities, structuring,
negotiating, and recommending strategies for the management and disposition of investments; (ii) monitoring the performance of investments; and (iii) disposing of such investments when deemed appropriate. Investments in Funds are privately offered only to qualified investors, typically institutional investors (for example, public and private pension funds) and eligible high-net-worth individuals. The advisory services provided by K5 Global are described in more detail in the governing documents of each of the Funds. K5 Global’s advisory services are geared to the management of the Funds, are described in more detail in the relevant limited partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, the private placement memorandum, and/or other analogous organizational documents of the Fund (collectively the “Offering Documents”) and are further described below in “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors in the Funds are referred to in this Brochure as “Investors” or “Limited Partners.” Investors and prospective Investors in each Fund should refer to the Offering Documents of the applicable Fund for information on the investment objectives and investment restrictions with respect to such Fund. There is no assurance that any Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Investment restrictions applicable to specific Funds are customarily imposed in the Offering Documents for such Funds, as agreed upon with Investors. Investors participate in the overall investment program of the applicable Fund, but in certain circumstances are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory, or other agreed-upon circumstances pursuant to the Offering Documents; for the avoidance of doubt, such arrangements generally do not and will not create an adviser-client relationship between K5 Global and any Investor. K5 Global has entered (and expects to continue to do so in the future) other agreements with the Limited Partners which have the effect of establishing additional rights or altering or supplementing the terms of the investment documents (“Side Letters”). Further, in the sole discretion of K5 Global, Limited Partners in a Fund can be offered the opportunity to co-invest in one or more underlying portfolio investments of the Funds managed by K5 Global (such an event having already occurred in select cases). K5 Global is also permitted to form co-investment vehicles or other entities to co-invest with certain other Funds in one or more portfolio companies. K5 Global does not sponsor any wrap fee programs. As of December 31, 2023, K5 Global managed $4,152,418,492 of client assets on a discretionary basis and $150,940,083 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
