Background and Ownership
Lind Capital Partners, LLC (“Lind”) was founded in 2008. Lind is employee-owned by J.
Robert Lind, and David M. Murdoch.
Advisory Services
Lind provides investment advice primarily on fixed income securities and focuses on municipal
securities issued by states, local governments, and their agencies, authorities,’ and
instrumentalities. Municipal bonds are subject to risks generally associated with fixed income
securities as described under Item 8 of this brochure.
Lind typically manages portfolios primarily comprised of high yield tax-exempt municipal
bonds for separately managed account (“SMA”) clients and a registered interval fund launched
on February 2, 2022, the Lind Capital Municipal Credit Income Fund, ticker LCPMX (the
“Fund”). Lind’s investment goal for both the Fund and SMA client portfolios is to seek high
current income exempt from regular U.S. federal income tax, primarily by investing in tax-
exempt municipal securities. Capital appreciation is an additional investment objective for
discretionary client portfolios.
Lind primarily manages Client portfolios on a discretionary basis but may also provide its
services on a non-discretionary basis in accordance with the terms of Lind’s agreement with
each Client.
As of December 31, 2023, Lind had $101,370,018 in discretionary regulatory assets under
management. Lind did not have any non-discretionary assets under management.
Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
Lind provides advice to separately managed accounts for high-net-worth individuals,
corporations, and other business entities. Portfolio management is provided based on each
client’s unique investment goals, objectives, tolerances for risk, and client-imposed restrictions,
if any. When providing discretionary investment advisory services, Lind has responsibility for
day-to-day portfolio management activities in Client accounts. Clients are advised to promptly
notify Lind if there are changes in their financial situation or investment objectives. Clients can
place reasonable restrictions on Lind’s investment discretion, including regarding portfolio
characteristics such as duration, concentration, geographic restrictions, or rating, among others.
Investment restrictions are documented in the agreement Lind has with each Client and these
may be revised from time to time. Clients should understand that revisions to investment
restrictions must be submitted to Lind in writing and such restrictions are not implemented until
agreed to by Lind, subject to an implementation period determined.
Lind Capital Municipal Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”)
Lind serves as investment manager to the Lind Capital Municipal Credit Income Fund, a
registered interval fund which commenced operations on February 2, 2022. Lind manages the
assets of the Fund based on its specific investment objectives and restrictions, as outlined in its
prospectus and statement of additional information, rather than on the individual needs and
objective of the individual shareholders.
Sub-advisory Services for Registered Investment Advisers
Lind offers sub-advisory services to unaffiliated third-party money managers (the "Primary
Investment Adviser"). As part of these services, we will typically manage assets delegated to us
by the Primary Investment Adviser using the same general investment strategy that we employ
for our SMA Clients. We provide these services pursuant to a written agreement with the
Primary Investment Adviser, detailing the specific services we will provide and the fees to be
charged for such services.
Consulting / Research Services
Upon request, Lind provides customized research, portfolio management recommendations
or related services for an asset based or fixed fee. There is no standard description of these
services as they are customized for each client who requests the service.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the DOL’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 (“PTE
2020-02”) where applicable, we are providing
the following acknowledgment to you. When we
provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice).
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice).
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments.
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest.
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an
account that we manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets
under management and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a
rollover when we believe it is in your best interest.
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may recommend that you withdraw the
assets from your employer’s retirement plan and roll the assets to an individual retirement
account (“IRA”) that we will manage on your behalf. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA
that is subject to our management, we will charge you an asset-based fee as set forth in the
agreement you executed with our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest because we
have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of generating fee-based
compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation
contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover,
you are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our Firm.
If you are considering rolling over retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage, here are a few
points to consider beforehand:
1. Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your
needs or whether you might want to consider other types of investments.
2. Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees.
3. Our strategy may have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan.
4. Your current plan may also offer financial advice.
5. If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, you could potentially delay
your required minimum distribution beyond age 72.
6. Your 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary.
Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA
assets have been generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there can be
some exceptions to the general rules, so you should consult with an attorney if you are
concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from creditors.
7. You may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA.
8. IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary
income tax and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify
for an exception such as disability, higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
9. If you own company stock in your plan, you may be able to liquidate those shares at a
lower capital gains tax rate.
10. Your plan may allow you to hire us as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan
name.
It is important that you understand the differences between these types of accounts and to decide
whether a rollover is best for you. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions contact us at our
