For purposes of this brochure, the “Adviser” or “PEI” means Private Equity Investors, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, together (where the context permits) with its affiliates that provide advisory
services to and/or receive advisory fees from the Funds (as defined below). Such affiliates may or
may not be under common control with Private Equity Investors, Inc., but possess a substantial
identity of personnel and/or equity owners with Private Equity Investors, Inc. These affiliates may
be formed for tax, regulatory or other purposes in connection with the organization of the Funds
(as defined below) or may serve as general partners of the Funds.
The Adviser currently provides investment supervisory services to two investment vehicles -
Private Equity Investment Fund IV, L.P., and Private Equity Investment Fund V, L.P. (the
“Funds”) that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”) and whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In accordance with the Funds’ respective investment objectives, investments are generally made
in U.S. private equity funds (the “Underlying Funds”), including venture capital, buyout, growth
equity, and mezzanine funds, and in portfolios of privately held direct investments. The Adviser’s
advisory services consist of investigating, identifying and evaluating investment opportunities,
structuring, negotiating and making investments on behalf of the Funds, managing and monitoring
the performance of such investments and disposing of such investments. The Adviser may serve
as the investment adviser or general partner to the Funds in order to provide such services.
The Adviser provides investment supervisory
services to each Fund in accordance with the limited
partnership agreement (or analogous organizational document) of such Fund or separate
investment and advisory, investment management or portfolio management agreements (each, an
“Advisory Agreement”).
Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds, subject to the discretion and control of the
applicable general partner, and not individually to the investors in the Funds. Services are provided
to the Funds in accordance with the Advisory Agreements with the Funds and/or organizational
documents of the applicable Fund. Investment restrictions for the Funds, if any, are generally
established in the organizational or offering documents of the applicable Fund.
The principal and owner of one-hundred percent (100%) of the common stock of PEI is Charles
P. Stetson, Jr. (the “Principal”). The Adviser has been in business since 1992. As of December
31, 2023, the Adviser manages a total of $89,669,784 of client assets, all of which is managed on
a discretionary basis.
1 The managing directors of the Adviser are the Principal and David B.
Parshall (the “Managing Directors”).
1 The amounts provided in this brochure with respect to the Adviser’s regulatory assets under management are
estimated based on interim valuations given that the Adviser primarily manages funds of funds. These interim
valuations reflect (a) the most recent valuations the Adviser has received with respect to the Funds’ underlying
portfolio investments, a substantial part of which are of a date earlier than the end of the most recent calendar
quarter, and (b) the Adviser’s estimates of the effects of interim developments on these valuations.
