We serve as the investment adviser, with discretionary trading authority, to private, pooled
investment vehicles (the “Funds”), the securities of which are offered through a private
placement memorandum to accredited investors, as defined under the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Securities Act”). We also provide investment advisory services to separately managed
institutional, charitable, and state or local government accounts (and may do so with other
Clients (as defined below) in the future (“SMAs”) through an applicable investment
management agreement (“Investment Management Agreement(s)”). We also provide
investment advisory services to a collective investment trust (“CIT”). Hereafter the Funds and
SMAs and CIT managed by the Firm collectively are referred to as the “Clients”.
This Brochure does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities. The Funds’ securities are offered and sold on a private placement basis under
exemptions promulgated under the “Securities Act” of 1933 and other applicable state, federal
or non-U.S. laws. Significant suitability requirements apply to prospective investors in the
Funds, including requirements that they be “accredited investors” as defined in Securities Act
and “qualified purchasers” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Persons
reviewing this Brochure should not construe this as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer
to buy the securities of any of the Funds described herein. Any such offer or solicitation will be
made only by means of a confidential private placement memorandum.
Our investment decisions and advice with respect to the Clients will be subject to each Client’s
investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in their respective offering documents
(“Offering Documents”). We may tailor our advisory services to the individual needs of
investors (“Investors”).
