Central Pine, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, was organized in 2020 and is
headquartered in Cedarhurst, NY. Mr. David Z. Solomon is the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) of Central Pine.
Central Pine offers personalized investment management services on a non-discretionary
basis to separately managed account clients (each a “Client” or “Client Account” and
collectively, the “Client” or “Client Accounts”). Prior to Central Pine rendering any
advisory services, each Client enters into an investment management agreement with
Central Pine. Each investment management agreement sets out the terms and conditions of
Central Pine’s advisory relationship with the Client. Central Pine bases its investment
advice and recommendations on the particular needs, investment objectives, and
investment guidelines of each individual Client.
Central Pine’s services include advising on the selection of unaffiliated investment
managers to privately pooled investment vehicles (each a “Portfolio Manager” and
collectively, the “Portfolio Managers”) to provide discretionary management to the
Clients’ portfolios, either directly or indirectly through an investment product such as a
private fund advised by the Portfolio Manager.
Unless requested by a Client, Central Pine does not recommend individual securities.
However, Central Pine may recommend other securities such as treasury bills, money
market funds, and registered funds. Such securities, and any individual securities
recommended at the request of a Client, are held by qualified custodians (such Client
Accounts, the “Custodied Accounts”).
Central Pine will discuss with each Client their risk tolerance and investment objectives,
initially at the outset of the relationship and on an ongoing basis thereafter, in order to make
customized portfolio recommendations.
Prior to recommending and selecting a Portfolio Manager, Central Pine will discuss the
Portfolio Manager with the Client. This discussion will generally provide information on
the Portfolio Manager’s strategy, structure, liquidity,
fees, and track record.
As discussed, Central Pine generally advises its Clients on a non-discretionary basis,
whereby Central Pine is required to obtain the Client’s consent for all investment activities,
including allocations to Portfolio Managers and securities transactions.
Reporting and Monitoring of Portfolio Managers
Central Pine provides consolidated performance reporting and ongoing monitoring of each
Client’s portfolio. Clients will generally receive reports from each Portfolio Manager (or
their fund administrator) in which they are invested on a monthly or quarterly basis. Central
Pine also receives a copy of these reports as an “interested party”. Based on this
information, Central Pine produces a customized, consolidated report for each Client that
aggregates all of their investments across the Portfolio Managers. Central Pine does not
assume responsibility for the accuracy of information furnished by any third party.
Each Client is strongly encouraged to undertake appropriate due diligence, including but
not limited to, a review of the relevant investment management agreement and the
additional details about Central Pine’s investment strategies, methods of analysis, and
related risks (as discussed in Item 8 of this Brochure) in considering whether Central Pine’s
advisory services, or investments in the private funds of the Portfolio Managers, are
appropriate to its own circumstances, based on all relevant factors including, but not limited
to, the Client’s own investment objectives, liquidity requirements, tax situation, and risk
tolerance before making an investment decision.
Additional detailed information about Central Pine is provided below, including
information about Central Pine’s advisory services, investment approach, personnel, and
