4. A. Advisory Firm Description
Investure, LLC (“Investure” or the “Adviser”) was founded in 2003 to provide professional
investment management services targeted primarily to non‐profit foundations and endowments.
Investure is owned in its entirety by the individuals who are partner-level employees of Investure,
and Bruce A. Miller and William H. West, Jr. are the principal owners of Investure. The managing
member of Investure is Bruce A. Miller.
4. B. Types of Advisory Services
Investure provides investment advisory and management services, on a discretionary or non-
discretionary basis, to (i) certain privately placed pooled investment vehicles (“Investure Funds”),
which are organized as domestic (U.S.) limited partnerships (including series limited
partnerships) or other domestic entity types or as foreign (non‐U.S.) entities (and could include,
as appropriate, include master/feeder structures) and (ii) separately managed accounts for
select institutions or other sophisticated clients (“Managed Accounts” and, together with the
Investure Funds, the “Clients” or “Accounts”). Investure’s Managed Account Clients generally are
non‐profit foundations and endowments. Investure specializes in identifying other investment
managers (“Managers”) that it believes, along with the direct investments described below, will
collectively provide a diversified portfolio for its Clients and collectively meet each Client’s
investment objectives while complying with all investment guidelines.
Investure also directly manages certain investments in securities, such as fixed income,
equities, and exchange traded or index funds (the “components”), which could include short
sales and/or other opportunities throughout the capital structure, as well as futures and other
derivatives of these securities. These components also are expected to include investments in
other types of financial products and derivatives. The fixed income component generally
constitutes a significant portion of Investure’s overall assets under management. Exchange
traded or index funds (and related securities and derivatives) are expected, from time to time, to
constitute a significant portion of Investure’s overall assets under management. Otherwise,
under normal market conditions, no other single such component of such direct investing is
typically expected to be a significant percentage of Investure’s overall assets under
management (though it is possible that this could occur from time to time).
Additionally, from time to time, Investure expects to identify areas of perceived value for
potential investment. If any such potential investments are identified, a large portion of these
direct investments at any time could strategically be allocated to investments in such areas
(such allocations, “tactical asset allocations”). Examples of potential areas for tactical asset
allocation could include, but are not limited to, specific industries or industry sectors,
corporate credit, equity markets in specific countries or regions, specific companies or types
of companies, specific types of assets, foreign currencies, market volatility, interest rates,
inflation or other areas, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing areas. No single
tactical asset allocation is expected to constitute a significant percentage
of Investure’s
overall assets under management (though it is possible that this could occur from time to time),
but, when aggregated, all tactical asset allocations in place at any point in time could constitute
a significant percentage of Investure’s overall assets under management. In order to carry out
these tactical asset allocations, Investure could invest in opportunities throughout the capital
structure, including short sales, other financial products, and derivatives.
4. C. Client Investment Objectives/Restrictions
Investments for Managed Accounts are managed, pursuant to a discretionary and/or non‐
discretionary investment management agreement (each, an “
IMA”), in the agreed upon form and
in accordance with the Client’s stated investment objectives, strategies, and guidelines. Any
restrictions placed on accounts are mutually agreed upon by both Client and Investure. Similarly,
each Investure Fund is managed in accordance with its “
Governing Documents”, which generally
include, among other documents, its IMA, offering documents, subscription agreements, limited
partnership agreement or corporate charter, as applicable, and/or other written disclosures
provided to current or prospective investors (each, an “
Investor”) in such Investure Fund. Each
Investure Fund’s Governing Documents set forth the investment objectives, strategies and/or
guidelines followed by Investure in managing the Investure Fund’s assets. In no event will the
investments of an Investure Fund be specifically tailored to the individualized needs of any
Investor, except that (i) certain Investure Funds take into consideration the general
characteristics (
e.g., tax status) of its target Investors; and (ii) in certain existing and future
series of the Investure Funds investors are or, Investure expects will be, permitted (at their
option) to opt-out of indirectly investing in certain specialist fossil fuel-related investments made
(if any) by these Investure Funds. Therefore, an Investor must consider, prior to investing in any
Investure Fund, whether that Investure Fund is consistent with the Investor’s investment
objectives and risk tolerance. Information about each Investure Fund is included in its
Governing Documents, which are available to current and prospective Investors only through
Investure or another authorized party.
