Brochure Summary

Overview

Harbert Fund Advisors, Inc. (“HFA”, and collectively with our affiliates “we”, “our” or “us”) was formed in 1993 and registered with the SEC in October 1998. Our parent company Harbert Management Corporation (“HMC”) sponsors alternative investment funds and is privately owned by a group of its officers and managers. HMC currently sponsors alternative asset funds (“Fund”, or collectively “Funds”) in three areas of concentration: Real Assets (United States, European, Power and Infrastructure, Seniors Housing, South Bay), Private Capital (Credit Solutions, Growth Equity, Discovery), and Absolute Return (Stoneview, Donerail, Pioneer, 6Beacon). The Funds are organized as limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other business entities and we serve as investment adviser to the Funds. We provide advice and assistance to each Fund regarding the acquisition, management and disposition of Fund investments and provide institutional infrastructure support. We are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama and have investment teams in Birmingham and in offices in New York, New York; Dallas, Texas; Richmond, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; San Francisco, California; London, England; Madrid, Spain; and Paris, France. Legal, accounting, compliance and risk management teams are located in Birmingham. As of January 1, 2023, we, together with our securities related affiliates, have approximately 167 employees. Certain Funds (i.e., the real asset classes) raise specific capital commitments that are called over a limited investment period. The absolute return funds we advise raise capital as conditions and investment opportunities warrant, and their capital is typically contributed in full at subscription and is subject to “lock-up” provisions. Each Fund, or group of related Funds, has its own dedicated management professionals. HFA intends to offer co-investment opportunities in its sole discretion to advisory clients
(including its pooled investment vehicles), employees and new investors who do not currently have advisory relationships with HFA or its affiliates. In making such allocation decisions, the general partner will be entitled to consider any interests and factors it desires. The allocation of co-investment opportunities will in many or all cases involve a benefit to HFA including, without limitation, the receipt of fees or allocation of carried interest from the co-investment opportunity. HFA, in its sole discretion, may or may not charge management fees and/or carried interest for co-investments. Investing in a pooled investment vehicle sponsored by HFA or one of its affiliates typically does not give investors any rights, entitlements or priority to co-investment opportunities. As a general principle, HFA requires that potential conflicts of interest be addressed by placing client interests before personal or proprietary interests. As a control, the firm has adopted a policy pursuant to which it seeks to allocate investment opportunities among advisory clients, including its funds, in a fair and equitable manner, bearing in mind, among other things, the size, investment objectives, mandate or policies, risk tolerance, return targets, projected hold periods, diversification considerations, permissible and preferred asset classes, and liquidity needs of each advisory client. Final allocation decisions are under the purview of the firm. We will also, from time to time, provide investment advice to institutional and high net worth investors on a separate account basis. Each separate account client negotiates the fees and scope of services that we will provide. Generally, separate account clients want their capital to be invested and managed with the same focus as a particular Fund. But separate account clients can place investment restrictions on their capital or make other specific requests of us. As of December 31, 2023, our discretionary AUM was $ 8,110,107,935.
