The General Partners each serve as general partner to one or more Partnerships and have the authority to make the investment decisions for the Partnerships to which they provide advisory services. The Management Company provides certain advisory services to the General Partners. Each General Partner is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to the Management Company’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the General Partners, which operate as a single advisory business together with the Management Company. The Partnerships invest and future Partnerships are expected to invest through negotiated transactions in operating entities, generally referred to herein as “portfolio companies.” The Advisers’ investment advisory services to the Partnerships consist of identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and achieving dispositions for such investments. Investments
are made predominantly in non-public companies, although investments in public companies are permitted. Where such investments consist of portfolio companies, the senior principals or other personnel of the Advisers or their affiliates generally serve on such portfolio companies’ respective boards of directors or otherwise act to influence control over management of portfolio companies in which the Partnerships have invested. The Advisers’ advisory services for Partnerships are detailed in the relevant private placement memoranda or other offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”) and limited partnership or other operating agreements of the Partnerships (each, a “Partnership Agreement” and, together with any relevant Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”), and are further described below under “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors in Partnerships (generally referred to herein as “investors” or “limited partners”) participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Partnership, but in certain circumstances are excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other applicable constraints or agreed upon circumstances pursuant to the Governing Documents; for the avoidance of doubt, such arrangements generally do not and will not create an adviser-client relationship between the Advisers and any investor. The Partnerships or the General Partners generally have entered into side letters or other similar agreements with certain investors that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms (including economic or other terms) of, the Governing Documents with respect to such investors. Additionally, the Advisers expect to provide (or agree to provide) certain current or prospective investors, portfolio company management or personnel, or other persons, including Water Street personnel and/or certain other persons associated with Water Street and/or its affiliates (to the extent not prohibited by the Governing Documents), co-investment opportunities (including the opportunity to participate in co-invest vehicles) that will invest in certain portfolio companies alongside a Partnership. Such co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio company at the same time and on the same terms as the Partnership making the investment. However, for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or co-invest vehicle (including a co-investing Partnership) purchases a portion of an investment from one or more Partnerships after such Partnerships have consummated their investment in the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell down or transfer), which generally will have been funded through Partnership investor capital contributions and/or use of a Partnership credit facility. Any such purchase from a Partnership by a co-investor or co-invest vehicle generally occurs shortly after the Partnership’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in valuation of the investment, but in certain instances could be well after the Partnership’s initial purchase. Where appropriate, and in the Adviser’s sole discretion, the Adviser is authorized to charge interest on the purchase to the co-investor or co-invest vehicle, and to seek reimbursement to the relevant Partnership for related costs. However, to the extent any such amounts are not so charged or reimbursed (including charges or reimbursements required pursuant to applicable law), they generally will be borne by the relevant Partnership. As of December 31, 2023, the Management Company managed approximately $7,448,252,224 in client assets on a discretionary basis. The Management Company is principally owned and controlled by Timothy A. Dugan.
