Farallon provides administrative and discretionary investment management services to Farallon Investment Holdings, L.P. (“FIH”) which generally accepts investments only from Farallon’s affiliate, FPLLC (as defined below), and certain employees of Farallon and the Farallon Advisers and operates as a fund-of-funds investing in other Farallon Funds (as defined below). FPLLC (as defined below) may act as general partner and/or Farallon may act as investment manager of certain Farallon Funds in which other Farallon Funds may invest. Together, the Investment Partnerships, FIH, the managed accounts, and any other accounts and funds for which Farallon provides such services from time to time are referred to herein as the “Farallon
Funds”. Farallon may serve as investment adviser for other entities in the future. As more fully set forth in Farallon’s ADV Part 1A, for FIH and the Investment Partnerships that are structured as partnerships or limited liability companies, Farallon Partners, L.L.C., which is an affiliate of Farallon, or another affiliated Farallon entity (collectively, “FPLLC”), serves as the general partner or managing member, as applicable, of such entities. References herein to Farallon will include FPLLC, unless the context suggests otherwise. Farallon has broad and flexible investment parameters, and seeks global investment opportunities pursuant to a wide variety of investment strategies, including, without limitation, certain core strategies such as credit investing, direct investments, long/short equity investing, merger arbitrage, risk arbitrage and real estate, as more fully set forth below in Item 8. Farallon will emphasize or de-emphasize, add, develop or eliminate different investments and investment strategies and techniques from time to time, depending on, among other things, the perceived opportunities and relative risk-adjusted expected returns. Farallon’s execution is flexible to allow capital to shift among strategies, asset classes and geographies based on prevailing opportunities. Investments are made in U.S. and non-U.S. securities and markets, including in emerging markets. The Farallon Funds’ investment portfolios, as applicable to their investment strategies, consist of a broad range of publicly traded and privately purchased securities, instruments and obligations. This Brochure generally includes information about Farallon and its relationships with the Farallon Funds. While much of this Brochure applies to all such Farallon Funds, certain information included herein applies only to specific Farallon Funds. C. Availability of Customized Services While the Farallon Funds generally have similar or overlapping investment strategies and investment parameters, Farallon’s advice with respect to the Farallon Funds is subject to their investment programs, which differ due to, among other reasons, different investment mandates, various investment restrictions and types of investors. The Farallon Funds include, for example, funds that are designed specifically for U.S. taxable investors, which utilize margin borrowings and other forms of leverage; funds that are designed specifically for U.S. tax- exempt entities (and certain of those funds generally do not borrow on margin); non-U.S. funds that generally do not participate in certain U.S. investments; funds that do not make Special Investments (as defined below); funds that primarily invest in Special Investments; funds that are focused on Special Investments globally or in certain geographic regions or markets; multi- strategy funds that may make investments subject to certain environmental, social and/or governance investment screens; funds with certain currency hedging overlays; strategy-specific funds; funds and managed accounts focused on overflow and/or co-investment opportunities; and funds that are a hybrid or a sub-set of the foregoing. Additional funds that pursue specialized, or different, investment programs may be formed in the future. Farallon may enter into agreements, such as side letters, with certain investors in the Farallon Funds that may provide rights or benefits in favor of such investors that are more favorable than the rights or benefits provided to other investors in such Farallon Funds. The investment mandate and guidelines or restrictions for each Farallon Fund are set forth in its constituent documents. References to “constituent documents” in this Form ADV Part 2A include any offering documents for a Farallon Fund and any investment management agreement with respect to a Farallon Fund that is a managed account. Persons reviewing this Form ADV Part 2A should not construe this as an offering of any of the Farallon Funds described herein. Such offering will only be made pursuant to the delivery to prospective investors of a private placement memorandum and/or subscription agreement, which will describe certain risk factors, conflicts of interest, investment objectives and other important features of a particular Farallon Fund. D. Wrap Fee Programs Not applicable. E. Client Assets The amount of discretionary assets under management as of December 31, 2023 is approximately $38,738,743,000 and is based on unaudited financial data which are subject to change. The figure represents the net asset value of the Farallon Funds plus uncalled capital commitments for the Farallon Funds. As of December 31, 2023, Farallon manages no assets on a non-discretionary basis.
