Brochure Summary

Overview

Driehaus Capital Management LLC is a privately held independent investment adviser based in Chicago, Illinois providing discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to clients. We have been registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since 1983. We are a Delaware limited liability company that is majority-owned by Driehaus Capital Holdings LLLP. Driehaus Capital Holdings LLLP is owned by entities related to our deceased founder, Richard H. Driehaus. As of December 31, 2023, we managed $15,168,007,761 of client assets on a discretionary basis. We provide discretionary advisory and sub-advisory services to a diverse group of U.S. and non-U.S. clients, including corporate pension plans, public plans, endowments, foundations, single and multi-family offices, Driehaus Mutual Funds (an SEC registered investment company), affiliated pooled accounts, non-affiliated U.S. and non-U.S. registered and unregistered pooled investment vehicles and high net worth individuals. As of December 31, 2023, we provided non-discretionary advisory services to model account programs with respect to approximately $58,179,844 in assets. Since we do not have investment discretion or trading responsibility for these assets, they are not included in our regulatory assets under management provided above. Driehaus Capital Management LLC employs active equity and multi-asset alternative investment management strategies. We have experienced teams of investment, risk management, trading, operations and technology professionals managing and supporting our strategies. Our principal growth equity investment philosophy is based on the principle that markets tend to misprice stocks of companies following positive growth inflections
and these inefficiencies tend to follow predictable and investable patterns. The investment objective of our equity growth strategies is to maximize capital appreciation over a full market cycle (3-5 years). Our global equity philosophy relies on macroeconomic and secular industry-level trends to identify attractive investment opportunities. In addition to applying these macroeconomic views, the team leverages the fundamental research of the firm’s global investment teams and employs a quantitative screening tool to identify attractive themes and investments. Our alternative strategy is event-driven. Our event-driven philosophy is based on the belief that attractive event-driven investments exist in the global equity and credit markets because of the complexity of the capital structure, the non- traditional nature of event-driven investment opportunities, and the unwillingness of investors to participate in trades with binary outcomes. Our event-driven strategy seeks superior risk-adjusted returns with lower correlations to major asset classes and lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index. Our separate account clients generally follow a model portfolio for each strategy that invests in the same securities as other investors in the same investment strategy. However, separate account clients may impose certain investment restrictions, such as on specific securities or types of securities or limits on their weightings. As a result of client-imposed restrictions, these client accounts may not be aligned with a strategy’s model portfolio and performance differences can occur between the client’s account and the model portfolio for a strategy. In addition, we manage custom strategies for certain clients at their request that we do not actively market.
