Brochure Summary

Overview

DESIM is a Delaware limited liability company and an investment adviser registered with and regulated by the SEC under the Advisers Act. DESIM serves as an investment adviser to certain clients through separately managed accounts and as the managing member or manager of, and/or the investment adviser to, certain affiliated collective investment vehicles and other entities in the D. E. Shaw group (such investment vehicles and other entities, collectively, the “Funds”). With respect to certain Funds, the Adviser provides investment advice to such Funds in its capacity as their managing member or manager. (As used in this brochure, the term “clients” refers both to the Adviser’s separately managed account clients and to the Funds, as applicable.) The investor base of the Funds comprises institutions and other sophisticated investors, including high- net-worth individuals. These investors must meet certain minimum financial requirements (e.g., an institution generally must own and invest on a discretionary basis at least $25 million of certain investments), among other requirements, to be eligible to participate in the Funds, which are structured as private
investment companies that are exempt from registration as investment companies under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The D. E. Shaw group was founded in 1988. DESIM was formed in and has been a registered investment adviser since 2005. The D. E. Shaw group invests globally in both public and private markets and uses a broad array of strategies, including systematic strategies based on quantitative and computational techniques, discretionary strategies based primarily on human analysis, and hybrid strategies that combine systematic and discretionary approaches to investing. D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. (“DESCO LP”) is the managing member and sole owner of DESIM. DESIM bases its advice to clients on the investment objectives and restrictions (if any) set forth in such clients’ applicable investment management agreements, offering memoranda, organizational documents, and/or subscription agreements, as the case may be (each, a “Governing Document,” and collectively, the “Governing Documents”). DESIM managed approximately $18,339,000,000 in investment capital on a discretionary basis as of January 1, 2024.
