General Description of Adviser and Principal Owners FPA was formed in July 2004 as a Delaware limited liability company. On October 1, 2018, FPA was converted to a Delaware limited partnership.

The FPA Registered Funds, SMAs and FPA Private Funds are collectively, “FPA Client Accounts” or “advisory clients”. Investment Strategies and Restrictions FPA manages the FPA Registered Funds and FPA Private Funds based on each such client’s strategies, restrictions, and guidelines and does not tailor its advisory services to any particular investor in an FPA Registered Fund or FPA Private Fund. With respect to SMAs, FPA will consider each client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, tax status, liquidity needs, return objectives and preferences. FPA provides its investment advisory services in accordance with the specific investment objectives and restrictions of each FPA Client Account, in accordance with and subject to the directions, guidelines, and limitations imposed by the FPA Client Account through, as applicable, the investment management agreement, prospectus and statement of additional information, private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, and/or other governing documents (the “Governing Documents”). FPA’s investment discretion with respect to managing the FPA Registered Funds is also subject to the parameters provided by and oversight of the respective FPA Registered Fund’s governing body (e.g., board of directors/trustees). For certain FPA Registered Funds and FPA Private Funds, FPA has delegated investment discretion to a sub-adviser pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement. With respect to FPA sub-advisory relationships where FPA acts as sub-adviser, FPA’s investment advisory services are provided in accordance with the relevant sub-advisory agreement. While FPA does not typically provide tailored investment advice to individual investors in the FPA Private Funds, FPA has entered, and in the future may enter, into “side letters” or similar agreements with certain investors who are granted specific rights, benefits, or privileges that are not generally made available to other investors, including preferential fee terms or to address investment restrictions based on regulatory or policy requirements of a particular investor. In addition, the investment strategy with respect to certain clients may be restricted due to custodial limitations. For instance, limitations or operational impediments associated with a client’s custodian may prohibit such client from holding certain types of securities (e.g., non-U.S. securities in ordinary form) or participate in certain corporate actions relating to portfolio holdings. FPA organizes its investment vehicles (i.e., FPA Registered Funds, FPA Private Funds and the SMAs) across several fundamental, primarily value-oriented, investment strategies, including: Absolute Fixed Income, Flexible Fixed Income, Contrarian Value, Contrarian Value Equity, Small-Cap Value, Core Equity, Large-Cap Value, Multi-Advisor and Direct Lending. While investment vehicles pursuing the same strategy share certain fundamental characteristics, such investment vehicles are typically structured with significant differences in specific investment objectives, risk profiles and other investment criteria, and may or may not hold similar securities and financial instruments. In addition, in circumstances where investment vehicles are intended to have substantial overlap in securities and financial instruments, the held positions may nonetheless differ significantly due to various factors, including but not limited to, account size, account inception dates, client-imposed restrictions, available cash, tax, regulatory, and other considerations. FPA generally does not use a formal asset allocation model to specify the percentage of each client portfolio that must be invested in any particular asset class or category of securities. Rather, FPA’s asset allocation for each client portfolio is generally a function of the portfolio’s potential risk and reward compared with available opportunities in the marketplace. Cash, cash equivalents, and/or securities issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasuries”) are typically the default investment choices until FPA identifies new investment opportunities, but FPA may also use other types of investments (e.g., ETFs that follow a market index such as the S&P 500) to invest cash. Accordingly, FPA Client Accounts, including the FPA Registered Funds and the FPA Private Funds, may at any given time hold significant cash balances on an ongoing basis. FPA does not currently participate in wrap fee programs. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2022, FPA had regulatory assets under management of approximately $24.3 billion on a discretionary basis. Assets Under Advisement As of December 31, 2022, FPA had no assets under advisement.
