Brochure Summary

Overview

The Rock Creek Group, LP (the “Adviser” or “RockCreek”), is a Delaware limited partnership that has been in the investment management business since 2003. Ms. Afsaneh Beschloss is the Founder and CEO of the Adviser and the manager of the Adviser’s general partner. RockCreek operates independently and is privately owned and controlled by the founder (through various trust vehicles), and other RockCreek team members have ownership, including through the firm’s management equity plan and leadership responsibilities through the management team. RockCreek’s investment management services are provided to Taft-Hartley, corporate, municipal, state, and non-U.S. pension plans; insurance companies; endowments and foundations; sovereign wealth funds; academic, charitable, and other non-profit organizations; and other institutional investors. The services are offered through a variety of investment products and arrangements, depending on the strategy and the investor requirements; these include Private Funds, Separate Accounts, and OCIO Portfolios (each term as defined below). RockCreek manages multi asset class portfolios that include alternative investments, including hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, private credit funds, real estate, infrastructure, emerging managers, direct investments, co-investments, emerging markets and other opportunities. The Adviser invests in funds and accounts managed by unaffiliated third-party managers and subadvisors (as defined below), across a range of strategies as well as directly in a variety of securities, including publicly traded equity securities. Certain Portfolios invest directly in portfolio companies, real assets, debt, and/or various other financial instruments or do so indirectly through investments in one or more managed accounts or limited liability vehicles, or investment structures managed by the Adviser or third-party managers. The Adviser’s investment management activities described below are comprised of portfolio construction; the identification, selection, monitoring, and evaluation of investments; and risk management. Consistent with their strategies, certain vehicles and accounts described herein, invest directly in publicly listed securities traded on exchanges in the U.S. market and in non-U.S. exchanges, including emerging and frontier markets. As further defined below, certain Commingled Funds, Funds of One, Segregated Portfolios, Series Portfolios (collectively, “Private Funds”), Separate Accounts, OCIO Portfolios, and Advisory Clients invest in Underlying Funds (as defined below) and certain other Commingled Funds and Intermediate Vehicles, or are delegated to Sub-Advisers. The Adviser enters into discretionary investment management agreements with the Private Funds, and services are performed in accordance with the terms of each such agreement. Each Private Fund may impose investment restrictions or guidelines as it deems appropriate. Such investment restrictions and/or guidelines are typically set forth in the limited partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, or other formation documents and/or the confidential private placement memorandum and investment management agreement for each fund. The Adviser collaborates with investors and clients to design, implement, and monitor customized portfolios tailored to their respective needs. Customized arrangements are subject to the terms set forth in the specific investment management agreements and terms will depend upon such factors as the investment guidelines and reporting requirements, size and scope of mandate, overall client relationship, type of strategies, types of securities, and other customized features and requirements of the arrangement. These accounts are managed based on particular individual investment objectives or guidelines, time horizon, risk tolerance, and policies and clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their particular investment objectives or needs. Certain Portfolios invest in investment vehicles or investment funds managed by underlying unaffiliated third-party asset managers(“Portfolio Managers”), including alternative investment funds and private funds investing in illiquid securities such as private market securities and other less liquid private investments, including without limitation, private equity, venture capital, and real estate, infrastructure, and illiquid investments or directly investing in publicly traded securities, including but not limited to, U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities (long and short side), debt securities, money market instruments, non-U.S. dollar currencies, options and futures contracts, forward contracts, other over-the-counter derivatives, and other asset classes (“Underlying Funds”). Certain assets are also allocated to accounts managed by unaffiliated Sub- Advisers. The term “Sub-Advisers” refers to certain asset managers that have sub-advisory agreements with the Adviser that are discretionary or non-discretionary. The Adviser also has the authority and ability to manage certain assets directly. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Funds, Separate Accounts, and OCIO Portfolios (and not the investors in a Fund, or client with a Separate Account or OCIO Portfolio) are referred to herein as “Clients” or “Portfolios.” Furthermore, although investors in the Funds that are organized as legal entities are not, in their capacity as such, clients for regulatory purposes, they are sometimes referred to as clients herein for readability. References to “client account’ are to accounts that the Adviser manages, on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Commingled Funds/Funds of One. The Adviser provides investment management services to multi-investor private investment vehicles (“Commingled Funds”) and single investor (or affiliated investors) funds (“Funds of One”) that are structured as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, or other investment vehicles. The Adviser enters into discretionary and non-discretionary investment management agreements and other documentation with the Private Funds, and services are performed in accordance with the terms of each such agreement. Each Private Fund may impose investment restrictions or guidelines as it deems appropriate. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Commingled Funds and the Funds of One may also be referred to herein as the “Funds” or “Private Funds” or generally as Portfolios for readability. Separate Accounts. The Adviser also provides investment management services to separate accounts (“Separate Accounts”) for a single investor (or a group of affiliated investors). A Separate Account will have terms (e.g., regarding fees, transparency, reporting, and liquidity) that are different from those of the Funds. Such accounts have a customized strategy, unique guidelines, customized operational specifications, and investment or other restrictions or requirements of the specific investor. Separate Accounts invest in the strategies described herein or other strategies, subject to applicable investment guidelines. OCIO Portfolios. The Adviser also provides outsourced chief investment officer services to certain endowments and foundations (“OCIO Portfolios”). The Adviser assists clients to establish their investment policy and guidelines and restrictions for such OCIO Portfolios. OCIO Portfolios’ services include asset allocation decisions; and selects, supervises, and monitors the Portfolio Managers, which include affiliated and non-affiliated entities. Furthermore, depending on the scope of the engagement, the Adviser will also provide middle office and back-office support to assist the client’s own staff. OCIO Portfolios invest in different combinations of the strategies described herein or others subject to applicable investment guidelines. The Adviser will not be responsible for ensuring that an OCIO Client’s investment policy guidelines and asset allocation choices comply with all specific legal, actuarial or other requirements that may apply as part of their investment policy statement. That responsibility rests solely with the Client who should consult with their legal and tax advisors regarding those matters. Intermediate Vehicles. Certain Clients access one or more Underlying Funds through intermediate entities managed by the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) in which other Clients, or assets managed by the Adviser
may have an interest (each, an “Intermediate Vehicle”) subject to applicable investment guidelines. Certain of these Intermediate Vehicles may be structured as Delaware limited liability companies or Cayman segregated portfolio companies. Such Intermediate Vehicles will invest into one or into multiple Underlying Funds. Generally, if such an Intermediate Vehicle is utilized for purposes of obtaining access to a particular Underlying Fund and satisfying Underlying Fund minimum investment size or other requirements, so long as such Client is an existing fee-paying client, the Adviser will not charge or apply any additional Adviser management fees or performance-based fees at the Intermediate Vehicle level, and the applicable Client will bear its pro rata share of the costs and expenses associated with the establishment and ongoing operation of such Intermediate Vehicle, including without limitation, expenses related to administration, custody, audit, legal, and tax. Each shareholder in an Intermediate Vehicle does not directly own any interests or shares in the Underlying Funds to which it has indirect exposure through its investment in the Intermediate Vehicle. In the event of the removal or termination of the Adviser, with respect to any Intermediate Vehicle in which the Client is invested, each shareholder will be entitled to receive its pro rata share of redemption proceeds equal to the net asset value of the Client’s interest in such Intermediate Vehicle as of the effective date of redemption. Generally, redemptions from Intermediate Vehicles will be based upon and subject to the terms of such Intermediate Vehicles, including without limitation, restrictions on the timing or amount of liquidity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, “gates”, side pockets, and other liquidity restrictions) and restrictions on transferability. An Intermediate Vehicle will generally have liquidity similar, but not identical, to the Underlying Funds in which such Intermediate Vehicle is invested given there may be additional notice periods for redemptions, but there may also be inflows into the Intermediate Vehicle to satisfy redemption requests. Intermediate Vehicles are generally only available to existing clients of the Adviser. The Adviser will charge fees for an Intermediate Vehicle upon the conclusion of a fee-paying advisory relationship with a Client where the Client remains invested solely in the Intermediate Vehicle(s) unless waived in the Adviser’s sole discretion. Segregated Portfolios. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to each segregated portfolio of certain Cayman Islands segregated portfolio companies (each a “Segregated Portfolio”). The Adviser has investment discretion, subject to applicable portfolio guidelines and parameters, to make investments and to allocate assets to the Segregated Portfolios that comprise the Adviser’s emerging markets platform or other managed account platform to access particular investment funds, Sub-Advisers, Trading Advisors, and markets. The investment activities of each Segregated Portfolio are generally conducted by Sub-Advisers, or by non-discretionary trading advisors (“Trading Advisors”), some of which are locally based teams in certain emerging market countries, that engage in investment activities pursuant to written advisory agreements with the Adviser. In certain cases, the Adviser will directly invest on behalf of a Segregated Portfolio with one or more investors in such portfolio. Series Portfolios. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to each series of certain Delaware series limited liability companies or Delaware series limited liability partnerships. A Fund that is a Delaware series limited liability company or series limited partnership may establish one or more segregated Series Portfolios (each a “Series Portfolio”) to potentially segregate liability, for administrative reasons and for other purposes, and the Adviser has the ability to combine series. Within a Series Portfolio, the Adviser may engage in direct securities trading or the investment activities are conducted by Portfolio Managers depending on the applicable Fund’s investment guidelines. Advisory Services. For certain Clients, the Adviser provides non-discretionary advisory services relating to investments in Underlying Funds, asset allocation, and manager selection to endowments and foundations, pension or profit-sharing plans, or other institutional clients (“Advisory Clients”), possibly using investment strategies similar to those employed for other Portfolios. Advisory Client services may include assistance with the performance of due diligence on underlying funds and managers of such funds as well as portfolio construction, portfolio risk analysis, and risk management. Furthermore, in certain cases where the Adviser has been granted discretionary investment authority over particular portfolios and accounts, the investors in such portfolios and accounts may have certain rights with regard to approval or disapproval of the investments for those portfolios and accounts. The Adviser’s Portfolios and services described above include, without limitation, the following types of investment strategies that may be implemented through the different types of structures described herein including funds and co-investments: Hedge Funds: Investing into private investment funds that pursue alternative strategies by investing primarily in marketable securities and pursue a wide range of styles and strategies.
