Unless otherwise noted, references herein to the “Adviser,” “Ovation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”
include the General Partners. A special purpose entity through which each OZ Fund indirectly
owns real property (each an “OZ SPV”) is managed by the relevant OZ Fund’s General Partner
and one or more third party managers (each such third-party manager, an “OZ Manager”). The OZ
Managers have real estate development experience, have joint authority over the management of
the relevant OZ SPV and the relevant underlying property with the relevant OZ Fund’s General
Partner and are responsible for the day-to-day real estate management and operation of the relevant
OZ SPV and the relevant underlying property. This Brochure does not describe the business
practices of each of such OZ Managers.
Each General Partner is an affiliate of and under common control with the Adviser. Each General
Partner is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to the Adviser’s registration in accordance with
SEC guidance. This brochure also describes the business practices of the General Partners, which
operate as a single advisory business together with the Adviser.
The
principal owners of the Adviser are Jeffrey R. Serra and Michael J. Rovner. Mr. Serra and
Mr. Rovner each own 50% of the Adviser through their limited partnership interests in the Adviser.
The general partner of the Adviser, Ovation Management LLC, is wholly-owned and managed by
Michael Rovner.
The Adviser’s investment advisory services to the Funds consist of identifying and evaluating
investment opportunities, managing and monitoring investments and achieving dispositions of
such investments. The Adviser’s specific advisory services with respect to each Fund are detailed
in the applicable private placement memoranda or other offering documents (each, a
“Memorandum”), investment management agreements, limited partnership or other operating
agreements or governing documents (each, an “Agreement of Limited Partnership” and, as
applicable, together with any relevant Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”). The Adviser
presently provides investment advice only to the Funds and, as such, does not tailor its advisory
services or investment objectives or strategies to the requests or needs of individual investors in
the Funds, nor does it generally accept underlying investment restrictions from individual investors
in the Funds, although certain investors in certain circumstances are permitted to be excused from
a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other agreed upon circumstances in Ovation’s
sole discretion pursuant to the Governing Documents; for the avoidance of doubt, such
arrangements do not and will not create an adviser-client relationship between Ovation and any
investor. Each Fund’s Memorandum lays out the respective Fund’s investment strategy and
guidelines, including any restrictions and the ability to vary therefrom, and the Adviser then seeks
to locate assets for each Fund that are within such guidelines and consistent with the overall
portfolio needs of each Fund. For more detailed information regarding such restrictions, please
refer to the Funds’ respective Governing Documents.
As of December 31, 2022, the Adviser has approximately$465,517,702 in regulatory assets under
management, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
The Adviser’s advisory employees are primarily employed through Ovation Management
Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Adviser.
The respective General Partners of AIF, TLF, Derby RR QOF and Kress QOF have each
established a Limited Partner Advisory Committee (the “LPAC”) for its respective Fund that (i)
provides advice to the applicable General Partner and Fund with regard to matters submitted to the
LPAC by the General Partner of such Fund, and (ii) reviews transactions between the applicable
Fund and affiliates of its General Partner in which potential conflicts of interests exist. The results
of the reviews undertaken by the LPAC with respect to matters submitted to it by the applicable
Fund’s General Partner shall be considered by such General Partner but will not be binding on
such General Partner or the Fund. Each General Partner will retain ultimate responsibility and
authority for all decisions relating to the operation and management of its respective Fund.
