Advisory Business
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
HPC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2019 and is wholly owned and controlled by Graham
Morris (the “Manager”). As of the date of this Brochure, HPC manages private funds (the “Funds” and
each, a “Fund”) consisting of a mini master-feeder fund structure, with a Delaware limited partnership as the
master fund and a Cayman Islands exempted company as the feeder fund, and HPC also provides advisory or
sub-advisory services to separately managed accounts (“SMAs” or “SMA Clients”) which, as of the date of
this Brochure, are for private funds and other pooled investment vehicles, and state or municipal government
entities. The Funds and SMAs are collectively referred to herein as the “Clients.” HPC participates in two
information sharing arrangements with two third parties.
B. Types of Advisory Services
HPC provides discretionary investment advisory services, either directly or indirectly, to the Clients.
The Funds include Highland Peak Partners, LP (the “Master Fund”) and Highland Peak Offshore, Ltd. (the
“Feeder Fund”). The Feeder Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in, and conducts the investment
activities with respect to its assets primarily through, the Master Fund. HPC serves as investment manager to
the Funds and Highland Peak Partners GP, LLC (the “GP”), an affiliate of HPC, serves as the general partner
of the Master Fund. HPC and the GP are under common control.
The Funds are privately offered to qualifying investors pursuant to Regulation D or Regulation S, as
applicable, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each Fund qualifies for an
exclusion from registration under Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Investment Company Act”). The Firm’s SMA Clients, as of the date of this Brochure, are private funds that
qualify for an exclusion from registration under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company
Act, or are formed as other pooled investment vehicles.
An investment in a Fund is subject to the investment objectives, terms and conditions outlined in the
applicable offering documents, which include but are not limited to the confidential private placement
memorandum, limited partnership or operating agreement, and subscription materials; and investment terms
related to the SMA Clients are addressed in the investment advisory or management
agreement with such
Client (all such documents collectively referred to herein as, the “Governing Documents”). This Brochure
does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase interests in a Fund and the
disclosure contained herein shall not be relied on to determine whether an investor should purchase interests
in a Fund. Any such offer or solicitation will be made solely to qualified investors by means of the Governing
Documents. To the extent there is any conflict between the disclosures contained in this Brochure and the
Governing Documents provided to investors, the Governing Documents will control.
The Funds’ investment objective is to generate capital appreciation in two primary markets: equities and
distressed credit. HPC seeks to generate superior returns and outperform the S&P 500 and Russell 2000
indices by employing long and short positions. The Firm’s SMAs pursue generally the same or a substantively
similar investment strategy as the Funds. Refer to Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of
Loss for additional information about the Clients’ investment strategy.
While HPC focuses on the strategies and asset classes discussed throughout this Brochure, the Firm does not
necessarily limit the types of investments on which it advises.
HPC participates in two information sharing arrangements with two third parties. Each third party may use
the information for its own trading strategies. There are significant constraints on how the information may
be used by the third parties in order to mitigate any potential conflicts. Refer to Item 10 – Other Financial
Industry Activities and Affiliations for additional information about these arrangements.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
In accordance with the applicable Governing Documents, HPC tailors its investment advisory services to be
consistent with the Clients’ investment strategies, terms and conditions. Underlying investors in the Funds
may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Investment terms for
SMAs are individually negotiated with such SMA Clients.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
HPC does not participate as a sponsor of or portfolio manager to any wrap fee programs.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, HPC manages approximately $245,247,108 in regulatory assets on a discretionary
basis.
