Brochure Summary

Overview

Seamans Capital Management, LLC (“SCM”) was established in August 1986 to provide strategic investment research to institutions and managers. In the Firm’s early years, it also acted as a sub- advisor in global bond management to mutual funds. In 1993, the Firm began to offer strategic research on commodity and currency prices to resource companies in North America and Australia. In addition, the Firm began offering global income management, which included both global bonds and income-generating global resource stocks. In 2000, the Firm altered its focus from providing strategic research to providing investment management services for select individuals and their related institutions. In 2002, SCM began to offer separately managed accounts in global income and resource stocks. Beginning in 2005, the Firm began adding private pooled investment vehicles, each managed by SCM and focused on a separate strategy. Today, the Firm provides the following private funds: Global Income Preferred 6% - Designed to provide a sustained income from a relatively stable portfolio. New Era Technologies Growth - Designed to benefit from technologies which make renewable energy cost competitive on a worldwide basis. New Technologies Income - Using a similar strategy, focusing on income generating renewable energy technologies. Global Opportunities – Designed for non-correlated equity related global investments producing outperforming gains based on dominant long-term cycles. Seamans Offshore Opportunities Fund, Ltd. BVI based offshore fund with same strategy. Series Fund 1 – Designed to invest in private equity, venture capital and private investments in public equities (PIPEs). Each separate Series Company invests in a single company (or combination).as follows:
• Series Company 1 - Advanced metallurgy, aluminum production
• Series Company B – Water oxygenation technology for water savings in agriculture and air and water pollution remediation for dairies.
• Series Company C – Auditory three dimensional spacial environments for augmented reality
• Series Company D – Cloud based IT security company with alerts and fixes for operating systems These funds are in varying states of activity. Some are being actively offered. The Series Companies have largely been fully funded as their target company offerings have closed. Separately Managed Accounts SCM highly values client relationships built on shared expectations and frequent communication. The engagement process begins with an exploration of a client’s values, investment philosophy and objectives; societal as well as financial. Risk/reward tolerance, investment restrictions and past investment experience are also important factors in creating and overseeing a separately managed account with a clear understanding of the client’s expectations and objectives. Based on these factors, a customized investment strategy is then structured, and an asset allocation proposal is prepared for the client’s review. Subject to modification and the client’s approval, the chosen investment strategy is then implemented. Each separately managed account is managed to one or a combination of the investment strategies detailed above. SCM invests in a small number of carefully selected sectors based on their expected outperformance. These include renewable energy related and income producing resource investments being transformed by technological developments. Investments are based on fundamental, quantitative, and qualitative research on global interest rates, currencies, commodities, and financial markets. SCM does not regularly incorporate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) objectives into its fund or managed account investment strategies.

SCM does not manage any non-discretionary assets or participate in any wrap fee programs. SCM adheres to a strict discipline that demands fundamental, quantitative, and qualitative research on global interest rates, specific currencies commodities, global stock markets and personal knowledge of management for developing companies. Since market changes are constant, we have an embedded commitment to flexibility within our clearly defined investment discipline. Our well-delineated strategies and risk management help improve client returns in rising markets and mitigate losses in declining markets. We measure overall account performance and sector allocation to ensure that account guidelines are met. Reviews
of account conformance to objectives are also conducted on a regular basis, while individual securities are reviewed more frequently, particularly in the event of a significant change in value. SCM believes that what investors seek in an investment firm, in addition to advising, managing, and guiding their investments, is sound judgment. At SCM, judgment is not simply a thought process. It is an approach that combines decades of experience, ongoing research, specific areas of expertise, accumulated wisdom, strategic formulation, tactical execution, and a strict adherence to SCM’s investment philosophy. Faith in that judgment, combined with positive, long-term results, creates trust. That deep, enduring trust is why SCM has so many long-standing and mutually rewarding client relationships. SCM invests Firm capital alongside client investments. Management Richard F. Seamans Education, Background and Business Experience Richard F.
