Fort Street Asset Management, LLC Page 4
Fort Street Asset Management, LLC (“Advisor”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”) is an investment advisory firm
formed in November 2019 and registered with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission.
The Principal Owners of Adviser are: Clinton Dodson and Richard Wertheimer.
Advisory Services:
Adviser offers a variety of investment management services to clients. Fort Street Asset Management
primarily invests client assets in US and Chinese equities through separately managed accounts.
Additionally, Fort Street Asset Management will provide cash management and purchase bonds for
certain clients.
Portfolio Management:
Discretionary Investment Management Services
Adviser’s investment philosophy is long-term and global, primarily focused on listed equities in the US
and China financial markets, the world’s two biggest economies and stock markets. Our strategy is to
remain invested throughout most economic cycles. We do not attempt to trade or time the markets. The
stock market is a venue where the impatient transfer wealth to the patient. We buy companies with
durable, non-cyclical, and growing revenues whose stocks rise in lockstep with fundamental
improvements over time.
Investing in individual securities is our area of focus. We do not buy mutual funds or ETFs. We manage
a diversified portfolio typically consisting of 25 – 50 high conviction positions that are usually long-only.
We do not use leverage.
As a fundamental, bottom-up Adviser, Fort Street’s advisory personnel spend most of our time doing in-
depth research on individual companies that pass our proprietary investment screens. However, we also
analyze macroeconomic and thematic trends to help determine asset allocation, cash levels, mix of
defensive and growth stocks, and the number of positions which have a lower correlation with the
direction market.
The investment decisions made by Adviser in clients’ separately managed accounts are discretionary in
nature, meaning that Adviser does not require the client’s prior authorization or approval before engaging
in securities trades within the accounts. Clients provide Adviser with a limited power of attorney, which
authorizes Adviser to execute trades in clients’ accounts without prior consultation and approval. Trades
are executed in clients’ accounts to maintain the asset allocation that is suitable for each of Adviser’s
client.
Private Pool Management
Adviser also manages two private pools, Fort Street AM Fund LP (“US Fund”) and Fort Street AM (BVI)
LTD (“BVI Fund”). Participation as an investor in the US Fund is restricted
to investors who are “qualified
clients” pursuant to Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act, as well as those who are “accredited investors” as
defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified purchasers” as defined under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Interests in the BVI Fund are open to non-US persons.
Adviser receives a management fee and performance fee for managing the US Fund and BVI Fund.

The management fee and performance fee are disclosed below. All information concerning the funds
are set forth in offering memoranda and other disclosure documents that may be provided to qualified
investors.
Non-discretionary Investment Consulting Advice
Banking and Lending: While we focus on active securities portfolio management, we understand
that clients may also seek investments in real estate and other assets to diversify their overall holdings.
Adviser's management team works with clients to leverage their portfolios and add exposure to such
alternative, non-securities investments in an intelligent and controlled way. The leverage available to
clients may depend on certain factors, such as the conditions of the portfolio custodian, creditworthiness,
prevailing credit terms and conditions, and other factors that cannot be anticipated. We provide guidance
on such matters in order to maximize the value and diversification of the client's overall investment
strategy.
Strategic Advice: We work with clients on strategic asset allocation decisions to ensure that our
investment strategies are in sync with their overall financial objectives. This service is available to our
clients free of charge. If we can be of help, we are here for you. Our expertise extends well beyond stock
picking.
These services are provided on a non-discretionary basis, meaning that the clients must enact the financial
plans and advice themselves.
Although Adviser exercises discretion in choosing the investments for each separately managed account,
Adviser may, but is not required to, accommodate specific requests for individual investments from
clients. Clients may have an aversion to a specific issuer of securities in our portfolio, or would prefer to
gain exposure to US treasuries or similar instruments outside our ordinary portfolio investments. We
maintain an open dialogue with our clients, and may facilitate small variances to our normal investment
strategies where appropriate and cost efficient.
