Overview
Symmetry Investments US LLC (hereinafter “Symmetry US”, the “Adviser”, “we”, “us”, or
“our”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in 2018 and has a principal place of
business in New York City. We are principally owned by Feng Guo, who is also the majority
owner of Symmetry Investments LP (the “Delegating Manager”), a Jersey limited partnership
that serves as a manager of the Symmetry Funds (as defined below).
The Adviser serves as a sub-adviser to several privately offered pooled investment funds:
• The Symmetry Funds. Under a sub-advisory arrangement, the Delegating Manager has
delegated to Symmetry US investment discretion over (and certain other responsibilities
that relate to) a portion of the assets of Symmetry Master Fund Limited (including its
feeder funds, collectively, “SMF”) and of Symmetry Adaptive Fund Limited (including
its feeder funds, collectively, “SAF”).
• The SMAs. Symmetry US may from time to time provide investment advisory services,
on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, and in a master adviser or sub-adviser
capacity, to clients (“Separately Managed Accounts” or “SMAs”).
SMF and SAF are collectively referred to as the “Symmetry Funds” and SMF, SAF and the
SMAs are collectively referred to as our “Clients.” Symmetry US provides discretionary sub-
advisory services to an unaffiliated private fund SMA. Throughout this Brochure, the Adviser
has provided important disclosures and information for the Clients that it provides services to.
Our investment decisions and advice with respect to each Symmetry Fund are subject to that
Symmetry Fund’s respective investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in its offering
documents. Investors in a Symmetry Fund should refer to that fund’s constituent documents for
information about its strategies, objectives and investment program. We generally do
not take
the specific circumstances of individual investors in a Symmetry Fund into account in making
investment decisions for that fund. However, in accordance with common industry practice, a
Symmetry Fund may from time to time enter into a “side letter” or similar agreement with an
investor pursuant to which the fund grants the investor specific rights, benefits or privileges that
are not generally made available to all investors. Similarly, the Adviser’s investment decisions
and advice with respect to each SMA are subject to that Client’s investment objectives and
guidelines, as set forth in the SMA agreements, as well as any written instructions provided to us
by that Client.
Side letters and similar rights are limited and/or will require specific disclosures after the
expiration of the transition period under the 2023 “Private Fund Advisers” Rule. This Rule is the
subject of a legal challenge that is still pending as of the date of this Brochure, the outcome of
which may affect our actions thereunder.
We have full discretion, subject to the supervision of the Delegating Manager, to invest assets of
the Symmetry Funds and each SMA, as allocated to the Adviser by the Delegating Manager from
time to time, in a manner consistent with the investment objectives, approach and restrictions
described in the Symmetry Funds’ offering memoranda or the related SMA agreement, as
applicable.
The Adviser does not currently participate in any Wrap Fee Programs.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser manages $12,879,294,816 of regulatory assets under
management for its Clients on a discretionary basis. Regulatory assets under management for the
purposes of this Form ADV are calculated as the regulatory assets under management of the
portion of the assets of Clients over which the Adviser has discretion pursuant to its sub-advisory
arrangement with the Delegating Manager.
