Services
The Firm provides a comprehensive range of services in the area of non-discretionary (advisory)
investment management. When providing services to our clients, we also utilize the resources and
personnel of ALP AG. Any arrangements with ALP AG are subject to various conditions designed
to ensure compliance with U.S. laws and regulations and adequate SEC oversight when investment
advisory services are provided to U.S. persons.
The core services provided by ALP can be described in terms of the following three pillars:
1. Focused Private Equity Programs;
2. Specialized Liquidity Management; and
3. Outsourced CIO Services.
Services provided by the Firm typically comprise the following elements:
• Asset Allocation: The Firm conducts studies to determine the appropriate target percentage
allocation to various asset categories and its minimum to maximum ranges considering the
client's investment objectives, risk tolerances, special or unique circumstances, and
investment time horizons. It also continuously monitors a client’s asset allocation and market
conditions related to different asset classes in order to consider optimal rebalancing of asset
allocation when it deems that to be in the best interest of the client and in accordance with
the respective client’s Investment Policy Statement that might govern active or dynamic asset
allocation;
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”): The Firm helps develop an IPS for each client (or, in the
case of an existing policy statement, reviews it and recommends changes where appropriate).
This IPS provides guidance (covering any applicable restrictions and/or limitations) for the
Adviser as well as third party managers in charge of managed account structures, for the
management and oversight of a client’s financial assets;
• Capital Market Research: The Firm conducts comprehensive capital (public equity, private
equity, fixed income and commodities-oriented) market research and identifies suitable
investment opportunities in various asset categories, in accordance with the client’s IPS;
• Due Diligence: The Firm conducts in-depth due diligence on all potential investment
opportunities.
The due diligence process involves financial market data analysis, review of
consultant research, sell side research, industry analysis, Bloomberg data analysis of public
information and in-person (or virtual) meetings with all key professionals relevant for an
investment (i.e., management team of a target company, deal sponsor, fund manager, etc.);
• Presentation of Investment: The Firm presents investment ideas / opportunities to the client
in a formal meeting using its Due Diligence Reports and answers all the questions a client might
have about the new potential investment;
• Disposition / Re-Balancing: The Firm makes recommendations for the potential disposition or
sale of investment positions held by the client;
• Portfolio Monitoring and Reporting: The Firm monitors client portfolios on a continuous basis
and prepares comprehensive periodic exposure and performance reports, which can be tailor-
made to a client’s needs. The Firm has the capacity to provide aggregate exposure and
performance reports for the entire portfolio of a client, including those parts that are managed
/ advised by third parties;
• Cash-Flow Forecast: The Firm conducts a comprehensive cash-flow forecast for its clients,
considering the existing client’s investment portfolio, future funding needs or new allocations
to the portfolio using a proprietary cash-flow model developed for private markets funds.
Furthermore, the Firm can prepare long-term projections for the client portfolio (NAV growth
and changes in asset class composition), using the cash-flow forecast and the IPS of the client;
• Ancillary Investments-Related Functions: The Firm supports its clients with a wide range of
investment-related tasks such as the completion of subscription agreements, providing
information about the client within the know-your-customer (“KYC”) process, monitoring of
capital calls and distributions, monitoring of corporate actions within all investments and
providing recommendations pertaining to such corporate actions, etc.; and
• Selection of Service Providers: The Firm can assist the client with review of custodial
relationships (or other service providers) and can help negotiate fees for the client.
Our clients are free to select any combination of the services listed above and / or to request
additional services (solutions provided are tailor-made). The range of services the client receives
as well as the fees for such services are specified in the investment advisory agreement, which
must be signed by the client and by the Firm before such services are provided.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions as applicable for non-discretionary mandates.
