B. Description of Advisory Services We provide investment advice to the Funds regarding the origination, underwriting, selection, monitoring and realization of each investment held therein. Generally, we provide assistance to: the General Partner of each Freeport Fund; Swiss Capital Invest Holding (Dublin) Limited, (the “Manager”) who manages the SC Funds; and FFP US Direct Lending 2019 GP Ltd (the “USDL Manager”, the general partner of the USDL Fund with respect to strategic planning, identifying potential investments, screening and referring potential investments to the Funds, recommending strategies for exit from investments, executing the investments, monitoring the performance of investments, providing economic and investment analysis with respect to investments, preparing valuations and reports in accordance with the Freeport Funds Agreements and the SC Funds/ USDL Fund investment advisory agreements. We also work with the portfolio companies directly under the direction of the General Partner of the Freeport Funds to monitor portfolio company performance. The relationship between us and the Funds is governed by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, as well as the governing documents of each of the Funds and the terms of investment advisory agreement concluded between us and each of the Funds. Interests in the Funds are privately offered only to qualified purchasers, typically institutional investors (for example, banks, family offices, public and private pension funds) and eligible high-net-worth individuals. The Funds will primarily invest in middle-market loans issued to borrowers typically located in the United States and exhibiting revenues between $25 million and $100 million. The Funds’ investments will primarily consist of floating-rate senior secured loans issued to borrowers backed by private equity firms that the Principals have underwritten and believe to be top-tier firms. Some of the senior secured loans the Funds will issue may be “one-stop financings” – meaning such a loan will take the place of both the senior and mezzanine component of a senior/mezzanine capital structure but will still enjoy all of the protections associated with a senior secured loan. The Funds may provide mezzanine financing alone, provide fixed-rate senior loans or make equity investments in very limited instances. The investment advice we provide to the Funds is limited to the middle-market loan investment program described immediately above and conducted by the Funds. C. Availability of Tailored Services for Individual Clients Our advisory services are tailored to the investment strategies of each of the Funds. Investment restrictions are imposed in the governing agreements for the Funds, as specifically negotiated with investors. The Firm also has side letters with certain investors, typically providing for enhanced reporting and co-investment opportunities as well as certain fee reductions and excuse rights. D. Wrap Fee Programs This item is not applicable as we do not participate in any wrap fee programs. E. Client Assets Under Management As of December 2022, we were managing $3,372,543,237 of Regulatory Assets Under Management on a discretionary basis in the Funds.
