Advisory Services
Arena provides investment advisory services with respect to one or more Funds, Managed Accounts
and/or Investment Funds. Arena also
provides investment advisory services to a registered fund (the
"Registered Fund") launched in December 2022 that is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (“Company Act”). In addition, Arena serves (or may in the future serve) as the
investment adviser to one or more Funds which are not currently offered to new investors. Aside from
their structure, these Funds may be more similar to a Managed Account than a Fund.
Arena generally has discretionary authority to manage the client accounts, including the authority to
determine which investments are bought and sold and the amounts of such investments that are
appropriate for each client. Arena intends to manage its investments in the Funds and/or Investment
Funds pursuant to the investment strategy (or strategies) as detailed in the governing documents of the
Funds or the Investment Funds, as the case may be. Any limitation on Arena’s authority is described in
the Fund or Investment Funds’ governing documents. Prospective investors should carefully read a
Fund’s or Investment Funds’ governing documents and consult with their counsel and advisers as to all
matters concerning an investment in a Fund or Investment Fund.
In addition, Arena manages investments in the Managed Accounts pursuant to the investment strategy
(or strategies) detailed in the client’s investment management agreement or other similar
documentation. Certain clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain types of securities or
other constraints on how they desire Arena to invest their portfolio. Any restrictions or constraints are
set forth in the investment management agreement or other similar documentation. Arena may tailor
its services to suit a client’s needs and stated investment objectives.
As of February 29, 2024, Arena manages approximately $4.9 billion in regulatory assets under
management on a discretionary basis and $0 regulatory assets under management on a non-
