Overview
Forza was organized as a limited partnership in the State of Delaware on November 3, 2023. Forza’s
principal owner is Mark Melchiorre, who serves as Forza’s Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) and Managing
Partner.
Forza is a discretionary investment manager specializing in credit and event driven investments. Forza
generally has broad and flexible investment authority with respect to the investment portfolios that it manages
for its clients. Forza will typically invest in corporate and sovereign fixed income securities such as
investment grade bonds, high yield bonds; loans; credit default swaps; structured credit instruments;
investments in derivatives and other hedging instruments including, but not limited to: options, foreign
exchange, commodities and swaptions and constant maturity swaps; trade claims; and publicly traded and
private equities.
Forza provides discretionary investment management services to privately placed pooled investment
vehicles (“Private Funds”), typically structured as Delaware limited partnerships or Cayman Islands
exempted limited partnerships and separately managed accounts (“SMAs”, and collectively with the Private
Funds, the “Clients”). Forza also provides discretionary sub-advisory services to pooled investment vehicles
managed by third-parties, and may seek to invest Clients assets in such third-party managed vehicles.
In providing such investment management services to each Client, Forza will formulate its investment
objectives and strategies, and direct and manage the investment and reinvestment of each Client’s assets.
Forza tailors its advisory services as described in the investment program of the relevant Client’s sub-
advisory agreement, offering documents, and investment management agreement, as applicable.
Certain affiliates of Forza will serve as the general partner or managing member to certain
Clients,
including the Private Funds.
Clients may have investment objectives that are identical or substantially similar to other accounts. Client
accounts having identical or substantially similar investment objectives may not have identical or
substantially similar investment portfolios. Differing investment portfolios can be expected to result from
several factors, including, without limitation, the following: different investment decisions made by Forza
with respect to management of the accounts; regulatory constraints that may apply to certain accounts but
not to others; investment constraints and restrictions imposed by certain Clients; and the amount of cash
available for investment at certain times. As a result of factors such as these, accounts may have a different
investment portfolio (and, as a result, different performance results) from other accounts even though the
accounts have identical or substantially similar investment objectives. In addition, there may be
circumstances when one account will sell a security while another account may purchase the security on
the same day.
Forza does not sponsor or participate in a wrap fee program.
As of 04/16/2024, we manage $1,359,276,313 of regulatory assets under management on a discretionary
basis and $0 of regulatory assets under management on a non-discretionary basis. We do not have regulatory
assets under management, but we expect to have, within 120 days of the effective date of our initial
registration, Client assets under management sufficient to allow us to remain eligible for registration with
the SEC.
Persons reviewing this Brochure should not construe this as an offering of any of the Private Funds described
herein, which will only be made pursuant to the delivery of a private placement memorandum, subscription
agreement, and/or similar documentation (“Governing Fund Documents”) to prospective investors that meet
certain eligibility criteria.
