Endowment-Style Investment Vehicles
East Rock Capital serves as the investment adviser to endowment-style investment vehicles, including
EREF and ERCF (each such investment vehicle, an “East Rock Endowment Vehicle” and collectively,

of asset classes through: i) third-party managed investment vehicles (“Third-Party Managed
Vehicles”)1, the underlying assets of which are typically publicly traded securities; ii) direct investments,
both long and short, in equity, debt and/or other securities and instruments traded publicly and privately
in U.S. and foreign markets; and iii) equity and debt investments in privately held companies and real assets,

registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company

East Rock EAI Fund, LLC (the “EAI Fund”) was formed in July 2020 as a Delaware series limited liability
company and is exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act pursuant to Section 3(c)(7)
thereof. Currently, two series of the EAI Fund are outstanding, Series A and Series B. The EAI Fund was
formed with a primary goal of providing direct investment access to East Rock’s employees, its network
of industry peers, and prospective clients and investors. The EAI Fund’s investment objective is to primarily
make equity and debt investments in privately held companies and real assets, either directly or through

Other Accounts and Vehicles
In addition to managing the East Rock Endowment Vehicles, the Focus Fund and the EAI Fund, East Rock
provides, or may provide in the future, discretionary investment advisory and management services to a
limited number of other client accounts and vehicles that may be structured as limited partnerships, limited
liability companies, or managed accounts as well as a limited number of pooled vehicles that are each
dedicated to a specific investment (collectively, with the East Rock Endowment Vehicles, the Focus Fund
and the EAI Fund, the “East Rock Investment Vehicles”, and each, an “East Rock Investment
Vehicle”).2
Each East Rock Investment Vehicle is managed in accordance with the underlying terms of such vehicle.
Therefore, certain East Rock Investment Vehicles do not always participate in the same investments, or
in the same proportion as other East Rock Investment Vehicles. As discussed below, East Rock takes a
number of factors into consideration when determining the suitability of an investment for each East Rock
Investment Vehicle. Further, we generally will not permit the underlying investors in an East Rock
Investment Vehicle to impose any investor-specific limitations on the investment activities described in
the offering documents of such vehicle (although an East Rock Endowment Vehicle’s investment program
may be customized with the affiliated group of investors that beneficially own such vehicle).
As of December 31, 2022, East Rock managed approximately $3,239,774,178 of regulatory assets under
management on a discretionary basis. Although East Rock has Non-Discretionary Clients (as defined
herein), East Rock does not currently manage any regulatory assets under management on a non-
discretionary basis.
