Brochure Summary

Overview

ADVISORY BUSINESS A. General Description of Advisory Firm. FRM USA is a Delaware limited liability company, incorporated March 22, 2011, with its place of business located in New York. FRM USA offers investment advisory services and sub-advisory services to U.S. and non-U.S. affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including private investment funds) on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In addition, FRM USA also offers investment advisory and/or sub-advisory services, on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, to separately managed account clients, which may employ a variety of different strategies. FRM USA is wholly owned by Man Principal Strategies Corp., which is ultimately owned by Man Group plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a component of the FTSE 250 Index. Man Group plc, through its investment management subsidiaries (collectively, “Man”), is a global investment management business and provides a range of fund products and investment management services for institutional and private investors globally. As of December 31, 2022, Man had approximately $143.3 billion of assets under management1. As used herein, the term “client” generally refers to each Fund and each Managed Account. FRM USA provides its services according to the stated investment objectives, restrictions and policies of each Fund as set forth in the applicable operating document of such Fund. Important information regarding each Fund, including investment objectives, strategy, applicable risks, fees, and other material information, including applicable conflicts of interest regarding relationships with affiliates is contained in each Fund’s offering documents and in each Managed Account's investment management agreement, as the case may be. Generally, FRM USA acts as investment manager, sub-adviser, pool operator, risk manager, manager and/or managing member, to its clients. An affiliate of FRM USA serves as general partner to certain of its clients. With respect to its clients for which it has investment discretion, FRM USA allocates client assets to (i) pooled investment vehicles and/or (ii) separately managed accounts (collectively “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds are managed and/or advised by investment advisers (“Advisers”), the vast majority of which are unaffiliated with FRM USA, but in some cases are affiliated or otherwise associated 1 Man assets under management as stated in the Man Group plc Annual Report include advisory-only assets over which Man has no decision making or trading authority and managed account platform services for which Man provides platform and risk management services but does not provide investment management services. with FRM USA (“Affiliated Funds”). With respect to its clients for which it provides advisory services on a non-discretionary basis, FRM USA makes recommendations to such clients as to the allocation of client assets to Underlying Funds and/or Affiliated Funds. The non- discretionary client may accept or reject the investment recommendation from FRM USA and if accepted will, on behalf of FRM USA direct the relevant custodian to effect and implement the trade. From time to time, FRM USA also may make direct investments involving certain Fund assets primarily for cash management and hedging purposes. FRM USA or affiliates of FRM USA may also be directly or indirectly invested in the Funds. In addition to the above, FRM USA may also provide advisory services on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis with regards to portfolio workout/liquidation situations (“workout portfolios”) or where specifically instructed to do so by a client. Where such services are provided on a client by client basis, the investment process to be followed will be in accordance with that agreed with the client and may not fall within FRM USA’s standard investment process as described herein.. The Underlying Funds (including Affiliated Funds) in which FRM US invests on behalf of its clients may invest in a wide variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, U.S. and foreign equity and debt securities, common and preferred stocks (including small-cap stocks), commodities and futures contracts, derivatives, options on securities and commodities, warrants, convertible securities, bonds, foreign currencies, residential and/or commercial mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, mortgages, collateralized loan obligations, other asset backed securities including securities backed by student loans, interests in other pooled investment vehicles, privately placed securities or other assets, real estate, structured products, U.S. and foreign government securities and other financial instruments and assets of investment grade or below investment grade. Certain affiliated advisory firms are considered to be “Participating Affiliates” of FRM USA (as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) allowing investment advisers registered with the SEC to use portfolio management, operations, and trading resources of advisory affiliates and personnel subject to the supervision of an SEC-registered adviser. Professionals from such Participating Affiliates may render portfolio management, valuation, operations, hedge fund research, due diligence, risk management, trading, portfolio workouts or liquidations, or other related services to FRM USA’s clients and/or FRM USA as affiliated “associated persons” of FRM USA and are subject to supervision by FRM USA. In addition, FRM USA may provide portfolio management, risk management, hedge fund research or due diligence to the Participating Affiliates under separate services agreements. Fees may be paid by and received from the parties under these arrangements. Man provides a number of centralized functions to its investment manager subsidiaries, including FRM USA, which will include trading, financing and cash management, research, operations, middle office accounting, finance, proxy voting (to the extent applicable), human resources, facilities,
tax, legal, compliance, information technology, among other such services. FRM USA utilizes investment management, client servicing and marketing capabilities of its affiliates in providing services to its clients. In addition, Man Solutions Limited, an affiliate of FRM USA, may utilize FRM USA’s investment management, research and risk management services in providing services to their clients. B. Description of Advisory Services. Please see Item 8 herein. This Brochure generally includes information about FRM USA and its relationships with its clients and affiliates. While much of this Brochure applies to all such clients and affiliates, certain information included herein applies to specific clients or affiliates only. Important information regarding each fund and managed account, which includes investment objectives, risks, strategy, fees and other material information, including applicable conflicts of interest regarding relationships with affiliates, is contained in each fund’s offering documents and in each managed account's investment management agreement, as the case may be. FRM USA’s investment process for its fund of funds strategy is primarily defined by the following four key inputs: 1. Investment Committee: a group comprised of senior investment management, and risk management personnel who, together, are responsible for selecting and approving investments as well as investment managers, managing portfolios and managing and providing strategic guidance and oversight to the investment process as a whole. 2. Manager assessment and due diligence: bottom up process of selecting, monitoring, and recommending approval and redemption of investments and investment managers. 3. Portfolio construction and management: implementation of investment ideas and on- going assessment of strategy allocations. 4. Risk Management and monitoring: monitoring both hedge fund investments and portfolios to ensure that risks are adequately managed at all levels. FRM USA considers a variety of factors in its investment process and utilizes a variety of proprietary and third-party informational sources (including from affiliates). Such factors include but are not limited to: past performance of an investment strategy, fees, experience of personnel, overall integrity and reputation, degree of market exposure, diversification and allocation characteristics, risk management, suitability for the prevailing market environment, as well as a client’s portfolio, use of leverage, as well as organizational and operational criteria. After identifying potential investment opportunities, FRM USA conducts extensive due diligence on each investment and the Adviser involved, which includes both quantitative and qualitative components. With each step of the due diligence process, FRM USA examines additional information and eliminates from consideration those investments/Advisers which do not meet FRM USA’s selection criteria. Once an investment or Adviser is approved, there is ongoing monitoring, which includes ongoing investment and operational due diligence as well as risk management surveillance. The investment and Adviser selection process is designed to be both structured as well as flexible. C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients FRM USA's investment decisions and advice with respect to each client are subject to each client's investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in the applicable governing documents, as well as any written instructions provided by the client. Client accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with such client’s investment objectives as well as investment guidelines and restrictions. FRM USA’s Portfolio Management Committee (“PMC”) is responsible for strategy allocation decisions and for setting the research agenda. These decisions represent general guidance for portfolios from which portfolio managers can deviate due to unique circumstances of the portfolios that they manage, such as portfolio-specific investment objectives. The PMC is chaired by the Chief Investment Officer. Please refer to item 13 for further details on the PMC. FRM USA, in respect of a Fund, can enter into agreements with one or more investors which have the effect of altering or supplementing the terms of the offering to the specific investor. Such agreements grant certain investors fees, reporting (subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements) or liquidity, as well as other matters, that are more favorable than the terms given to other investors and are not subject to the approval of or specific disclosure to any investor or any other person. In addition, FRM USA provides portfolio consulting or platform infrastructure type services to institutions commonly referred to as its “Dedicated Managed Account Platform” (“DMAP”). Under such Platform Services Agreements, FRM USA provides services such as: providing clients with assistance in aspects of the investment vehicle’s company set up and organization; preparing, reviewing and negotiating investment management agreements with third party investment managers selected by the client; third party investment manager on-boarding; assistance with service provider selection; investment manager guideline monitoring; providing information, manager research and due diligence on potential or existing Underlying Managers; assistance with any regulatory or required filings; as well as on-going reporting among other services as agreed with the client. In such cases, the institutional investor is responsible for making its own assessment and investment decisions with regards to any investment with the underlying managers. D. Wrap Fee Programs. FRM USA does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management. FRM USA manages approximately $1.53 billion in regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2022. The regulatory assets under management do not include the assets of the DMAP clients to which FRM USA provides services.
