Overview
Solera Capital, LLC (“Solera Capital,” “we,” “our” or “us”), an investment adviser registered with
the SEC, was established in 1999 to make investments in emerging growth companies in
industries with compelling long-term prospects through private equity funds. Solera Capital’s
approach is centered on its strategic and operational involvement in business building, research
that identifies specific areas and companies poised for growth, a network developed over the
past decade to generate investment opportunities and engage with portfolio companies, and the
platforms established in key industries by virtue of investments made since 2000.
Solera Capital was founded in 1999, and since that time has been led by Molly F. Ashby as Solera
Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Since formation, Solera Capital has been 100%
independently owned by Ms. Ashby. Solera Capital’s investment activities are managed by Ms.
Ashby and Solera Capital’s senior executives. Since inception, Solera Capital’s Funds have
invested in industry sectors that include natural and organics, the Latin market, consumer
healthcare, green building, specialty retail, equestrian, women’s sports, surf and Latin food.
Solera Capital provides discretionary investment advice to certain private equity investment
funds (the “Funds” or our “Clients”). Currently, Solera Capital provides investment advice solely
to Solera Partners II, L.P. The Funds are
pooled investment vehicles organized as limited
partnerships. Solera Capital offers interests in these limited partnerships to potential investors
who are institutional or qualified/accredited individual investors. An affiliate of Solera Capital
acts as the general partner of each Fund and Solera Capital is retained by the Fund to act as the
Fund’s discretionary manager/adviser. Fund investments or dispositions are the responsibility of
the Fund’s general partner. The specific terms applicable to each Fund as well as any Fund’s
investment focus, investment guidelines, and investment restrictions are contained in the Funds’
governing documents.
Persons that invest in the Funds are referred to in this brochure as “investors” or “limited
partners.” We provide discretionary investment management services to the Funds and not
individually to the investors in such Funds. Solera Capital generally provides investment advisory
services to each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement. Investment advice is
provided by Solera Capital directly to the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the
general partner of each such Fund.
Management of Client Assets
As of December 31, 2023, Solera Capital managed $39,622,292 of Client assets on a discretionary
basis. This includes the committed capital which may be called by the Funds from their respective
limited partners.
