Description of the Advisory Firm
B.
Types of Advisory Services

Item 5: Fees and compensation Fees
Fee Schedule
The range of fees and compensation payable to LB Partners is generally as follows: 1.
Management Fee
2.
Incentive Allocation
LB Partners typically receives a quarterly asset-based management fee calculated as a percentage of each Investor’s capital account, payable quarterly in advance. The management fee is generally between 0.5% per annum to 1.0% per annum. LB Partners may, in its sole discretion, reduce, waive or calculate differently the management fee with respect to any Investor. Subject to the terms of the applicable Client’s Constituent Documents, LB Partners may receive an incentive allocation equal to a percentage of the net income allocated to each Investor for the year. This incentive allocation may be subject to a hurdle rate and is generally between 10% and 15% and is typically made at the end of each calendar year; however, the incentive allocation may be received upon distribution of realized gains or withdrawals by Investors. LB Partners also manages a fixed income-biased fund that does not accrue any incentive allocations. LB Partners or its affiliates may, in its sole discretion, reduce, waive or calculate differently the incentive allocation with respect to any Investor. The incentive allocation will only be charged to accounts of those Investors who are “qualified clients” as defined in Rule 205-3 of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). 3.
Fee Comparison
The expenses of each Client, including the management fee and incentive allocation, may constitute a higher or lower percentage of average net assets than would be found in other investment vehicles or with other investment advisers. B.
Payment of Fees
C.
Third-Party Fees
Management fees, incentive allocations and third-party fees (discussed below) are deducted from Client assets. Management fees, which are paid in advance, are withdrawn at the beginning of the quarter. Incentive allocations are generally allocated as of the end of the calendar year or as of any date on which an Investor makes a withdrawal or receives a distribution from such Investor’s capital account(s). The Clients shall pay such costs and expenses as LB Partners shall reasonably determine to be necessary, appropriate, advisable or convenient to realize the Clients’ investment objective, including but not limited to: (i) management fees; (ii) all general investment expenses; (iii) all operating and administration expenses, including but not limited to, all custodial fees, accounting and audit,
brokerage commissions, clearing fees, borrowing charges, legal expenses, interest on margin and other borrowings, and taxes incurred in connection with the Clients’ account; and (iv) such other expenses as may be set forth in the Constituent Documents.
LB Partners’ fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the Clients. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to LB Partners’ management fee, and LB Partners shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 12 of this Brochure regarding brokerage practices. D.
Prepayment of Fees
E.
Outside Compensation for the Sale of Securities
LB Partners will pro rate the management fee for Interests held for less than a full quarter. Prepaid but unearned fees are refunded to the Clients and/or Investors, as the case may be. Neither LB Partners nor its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products outside of its association with LB Partners.
The foregoing discussion in Item 5 represents LB Partners’ basic compensation arrangements. The management fees and incentive allocations described above are structured to comply with Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act. Fees and other compensation are negotiable in certain circumstances and arrangements with any particular Investor may vary. Although LB Partners believes its fees are competitive, lower fees for comparable services may be available from other investment advisers.

Investment Strategies
C.
Risks of Investments and Strategies Utilized
LB Partners’ primary method of analysis includes fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis of investment opportunities. Sources of information utilized by LB Partners include, but are not limited to, financial newspapers and magazines; inspection of corporate activities; research materials and insights provided by others; corporate rating services; timing services; discussions with management and industry experts, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the SEC and other regulators; and company press releases. LB Partners deploys a different investment strategy for each Client based on the specific mandates and risk appetite outlined in each Client’s Constituent Documents. These strategies generally focus on public equities but LB Partners is not required to invest solely in public equities. Further, each strategy pursues a different risk/return profile. As such, prospective Investors should carefully read the Constituent Documents to ensure they understand the specific investment strategy deployed by LB Partners with respect to the specific Client. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. The following list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment program with LB Partners. Prospective Investors should read the entire Brochure as well as the Clients’ Constituent Documents and other materials
that may be provided by LB Partners and consult with their own advisers prior to investing in the Clients or engaging LB Partners’ services.
Investment and trading risk factors may include:
General Investment and Trading Risks. Investment in securities and other instruments involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. LB Partners may invest in securities and other financial instruments using strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics. No guarantee or representation is made that LB Partners’ programs will be successful. LB Partners’ investment programs may utilize such investment techniques as option transactions, margin transactions, short sales, forwards, leverage and derivatives trading, the use of which can, in certain circumstances, maximize the adverse impact to which Clients may be subject.
Equity Investments. Equity investments may involve substantial risks and may be subject to wide and sudden fluctuations in market value, with a resulting fluctuation in the amount of profits and losses. There are no absolute restrictions in regard to the size or operating experience of the companies in which the Clients’ assets may be invested into (and relatively small companies may lack management depth or the ability to generate internally, or obtain externally, the funds necessary for growth and companies with new products or services could sustain significant losses if projected markets do not materialize). Equity prices are directly affected by issuer specific events, as well as general market conditions. In addition, in many countries investing in common stocks is subject to heightened regulatory and self-regulatory scrutiny as compared to investing in debt or other financial instruments.
Common Stocks and Equity-Related Securities. Prices of common stock react to the economic condition company that issued the security, industry and market conditions, and other factors and may fluctuate widely. Investments related to the value of stocks may rise and fall based on an issuer’s actual and anticipated earnings, changes in management, the potential for takeovers and acquisitions, and other economic factors. Similarly, the value of other equity-related securities, including preferred stock, warrants and options may also vary widely.
Small- and Mid-Cap Risks. Securities of small-cap issuers may present greater risks than those of large-cap issuers. For example, some small- and mid-cap issuers often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources. They may be subject to high volatility in revenues, expenses and earnings. Their securities may be thinly traded, may be followed by fewer investment research analysts and may be subject to wider price swings and thus may create a greater chance of loss than when investing in securities of larger-cap issuers. The market prices of securities of small- and midcap issuers generally are more sensitive to changes in earnings expectations, to corporate developments and to market rumors than are the market prices of large-cap issuers. Additionally, transaction costs in securities of small- and mid-cap issuers may be higher than in those of largecap issuers.
Private Company Investments. Investments in privately held companies are generally illiquid and there are no readily available market prices. A private company’s operating results in a
specified period will be difficult to predict and the company may not have a long operating history. Such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses.
Derivative Investments. The prices of derivative instruments, including options, are highly volatile. Price movements of options contracts are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. The value of options also depends upon the price of the instruments underlying them. In addition, Client assets are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which its positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties.
Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted into or exchanged for a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles its holder to receive interest that is generally paid or accrued on debt or a dividend that is paid or accrued on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Convertible securities have unique investment characteristics in that they generally (i) have higher yields than common stocks, but lower yields than comparable nonconvertible securities, (ii) are less subject to fluctuation in value than the underlying common stock due to their fixed-income characteristics and (iii) provide the potential for capital appreciation if the market price of the underlying common stock increases. The value of a convertible security is a function of its “investment value” (determined by its yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and its “conversion value” (the security’s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the investment value of convertible securities. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. To the extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed-income security. Generally, the amount of the premium decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. A convertible security may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security’s governing instrument. If a convertible security is called for redemption, the Clients will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the underlying common stock or sell it to a third-party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the ability to achieve a Clients’ investment objective. Exchange Traded Funds. ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile and ETFs
have management fees that increase their costs. ETFs are also subject to other risks, including: (i) the risk that their prices may not correlate perfectly with changes in the underlying index; and (ii) the risk of possible trading halts due to market conditions or other reasons that, in the view of the exchange upon which an ETF trades, would make trading in the ETF inadvisable.
Debt and Other Income Securities. Income securities are subject to interest rate, market and credit risk. Interest rate risk relates to changes in a security’s value as a result of changes in interest rates generally. Even though such instruments are investments that may promise a stable stream of income, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates and, therefore, are subject to the risk of market price fluctuations. In general, the values of fixed income securities increase when prevailing interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. Because of the resetting of interest rates, adjustable-rate securities are less likely than non-adjustable rate securities of comparable quality and maturity to increase or decrease significantly in value when market interest rates fall or rise, respectively. Market risk relates to the changes in the risk or perceived risk of an issuer, industry, country or region. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal and interest. The values of income securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. Income securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are also subject to the risk of a decline in the value of the denominating currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Debt securities may not satisfy any minimum credit rating standard, and may include instruments that are considered to be of relatively poor standing and have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Fixed Income Securities. The value of fixed income securities (including sovereign debt instruments) will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, the value of certain fixed income securities can fluctuate in response to perceptions of credit worthiness, political stability or soundness of economic policies. Valuations of other fixed income instruments may fluctuate in response to changes in the economic environment that may affect future cash flows. Except to the extent that values are independently affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations, when interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities generally can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally can be expected to decline. The longer a debt security’s duration, the more sensitive such debt security is to this risk.
PIPES and Other Restricted Securities. In a Private Investments in Public Equity (“PIPE”) transaction, the Client typically purchases unregistered equity securities of a class of securities that is publicly traded and receives registration rights with respect to the unregistered securities that it purchases. The securities are not publicly tradable when the Client purchases them, however, and they may never become publicly tradable. Restricted securities generally are difficult or impossible to sell at prices comparable to the market prices of similar securities that are publicly traded. It is highly speculative as to whether and when an issuer will be able to register its securities so that they become eligible for trading in public markets.
Futures, Commodities, and Derivative Investments. The prices of commodities contracts and derivative instruments, including futures and options, are highly volatile. Payments made pursuant to swap agreements may also be highly volatile. Price movements of commodities, futures and options contracts and payments pursuant to swap agreements are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange
Item 7: Types of clients
LB Partners provides investment advice and management to the Clients.
LB Partners intends to restrict the number of Investors and will offer Interests only through nonpublic transactions in order to maintain the Clients’ exclusion from “investment company” status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Prospective Investors generally must be “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, “qualified clients”, as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act, and must meet other eligibility criteria as specified in the Constituent Documents. LB Partners may, in its sole discretion, waive any admission standard with respect to any Investor. The minimum initial investment by an Investor depends on the Client and generally ranges between $500,000 to $1,000,000; provided however that, LB Partners or its affiliates may modify or waive any such minimums in its sole discretion.
Item 6: Performance-based fees and side-by-side management Conflicts of interest
As discussed in Item 5, LB Partners generally receives an incentive allocation equal to a percentage of the net income allocated to each Investor for the year; however, Investors in certain Funds are not charged an incentive allocation. Since LB Partners manages Funds with a performance fee and others without a performance fee, this could present a conflict of interest because LB Partners and/or its supervised persons have an incentive to favor the Funds for which LB Partners receives a performance-based fee. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that the non-performance fee Fund generally holds a different asset class than the Funds that are subject to the performance fee and would not be included in an allocation of trades in the other Funds’ asset class, though there may be instances of positions that overlap between the Funds. Notwithstanding this potential conflict, LB Partners will evaluate investments in a manner that it considers to be in the best interest of its Clients, given those Clients’ investment objectives, investment strategies, suitability of the investment, and risk profile.
Investors in Clients paying a performance-based fee should be aware that investment advisers have an incentive to invest in riskier investments when paid a performance-based fee due to the higher
risk/higher reward attributes.

C.
Relationships Material to this Advisory Business and Possible Conflicts of Interest
Neither LB Partners nor its management persons are registered as a broker-dealer or broker-dealer representative.
Neither LB Partners nor its management persons are registered as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor.
LB Partners currently provides management and investment advisory services to Clients that follow investment programs similar to or different from one another. A number of actual and potential conflicts of interest between the Clients could exist, including the possibility of conflict with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among the Clients. LB Partners has sole discretion to resolve such conflicts as it determines to be appropriate, consistent with its fiduciary duties to Clients. Affiliates to the Firm include general partners for the pooled investment vehicles managed by LB Partners. These affiliates are under common control with the Firm.
Currently an officer of the Firm serves on the board of a private company owned by the Funds managed by LB Partners. Accordingly, this could create a conflict where their fiduciary duty to the portfolio company may conflict with their fiduciary duty to the Fund. In such circumstances, any such employee or officer will act in accordance with their fiduciary duty to the portfolio company rather than any fiduciary duty such person may have to the applicable Fund. D.
Selection of Other Advisors or Managers
LB Partners may select private fund investments for the Funds which are managed by unaffiliated, third-party managers. LB Partners does not receive any direct or indirect compensation from these third-party managers.
Item 11: Code of ethics, participation or interest in client transactions and personal trading Conflicts of interest
Personal Trading A.
Code of Ethics
B.
Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
C.
Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
LB Partners has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) pursuant to Rule 204A-of the Advisers Act. The Code governs the activities of each member, officer, director and employee of LB Partners (collectively, “Employees”). LB Partners holds its Employees to a high standard of integrity and business practices that reflects its fiduciary duty to the Clients. In serving its Clients, LB Partners strives to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest in connection with the personal trading activities of its Employees and Clients securities transactions. When persons covered by the Code engage in personal securities transactions, they must adhere to the following general principles as well as to the Code’s specific provisions: (a) at all times, the interests of the Clients must be paramount; (b) personal transactions must be conducted consistent with the Code in manner that avoids any actual or potential conflict of interest; and (c) no inappropriate advantage should be taken of any position of trust and responsibility. Employees covered by the Code have certain trading restrictions and reporting obligations of their personal securities transactions. Each Employee is provided with a copy of the Code and must annually certify that they have received it and have complied with its provisions. In addition, any Employee who becomes aware of any potential violation of the Code is obligated to report the potential violation to the Chief Compliance Officer. LB Partners will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to Investors and prospective Investors upon request. Such a request may be made by submitting a written request to LB Partners at the address on the cover page to this Brochure. Neither LB Partners nor its related persons recommend to Clients, or buys or sells for Client accounts, securities in which LB Partners or a related person has a material financial interest. From time to time, LB Partners, its Employees and/or the related persons may also personally buy or sell the same instruments that LB Partners buys or sells for Clients, and they may own securities, or options on securities, of issuers whose securities are subsequently bought for Clients because of LB Partners’ recommendations regarding a particular security. LB Partners’ policy as to such transactions is that neither LB Partners nor any of its Employees or related persons are to benefit from price movements that may be caused by transactions for Clients or otherwise. LB Partners addresses this conflict by requiring Employees to sign and adhere to LB Partners’ Code of Ethics and to report personal securities holdings and transactions to LB Partners. All employees are required to pre-clear with the Chief Compliance Officer any personal securities transaction in specified securities, including IPOs and limited offerings .
D.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities
As discussed above, from time to time, LB Partners, its Employees, or related persons of LB Partners may buy or sell securities for themselves that LB Partners also recommends to the Client. LB Partners will always document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will always transact Client business before the business of its Employees and/or related persons when similar securities are being bought or sold.
Item 12: Brokerage practices Conflicts of interest
Factors Used to Select or Recommending Broker-Dealers
LB Partners will always have ultimate discretion as to the placement of brokerage (and accordingly, the commission rates paid), though it uses third parties to oversee daily trading and the placement of brokerage. In selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions, LB Partners and its third party trading relationships consider such factors as price, quality of execution, expertise in particular markets, the ability of the brokers to effect the transactions, the brokers’ facilities, reliability, reputation, experience, financial responsibility in particular markets, familiarity both with investment practices generally and techniques employed by Clients and certain brokerage or research services provided by such brokers and clearing and settlement capabilities, subject at all times to principles of best execution, in accordance with LB Partners’ policies and procedures. In selecting broker/dealers to execute transactions, the LB Partners need not solicit competitive bids and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available commission cost. LB Partners believes that the broker-dealers that it recommends provide competitive transaction and custody costs, helping Clients to eliminate or control costs and optimize the custodial structure to the benefit of account holders. When possible, LB Partners seeks to pre-negotiate preferred terms for its Clients, providing Clients with the benefits associated with the economy of scale and custodial knowledge of the Firm. 1.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
LB Partners has engaged Marex Prime Services ("Marex," formerly Cowen Outsourced Trading) to serve as the Firm's outsourced trading desk for certain Funds. Under this arrangement, Marex executes and settles securities transactions for the Funds and handles the substantial majority of the Funds' trading activity. LB Partners does not maintain an internal trading desk.
Marex is compensated for its services solely through commissions charged to the Funds on the transactions it executes (for example, a per-share commission on U.S. equity trades). For transactions Marex directs to outside executing brokers, the Funds pay the executing broker's negotiated commission plus an additional per-share service fee to Marex. The tools and processes Marex uses to execute and settle the Funds' trades — including the electronic connectivity through which LB Partners transmits orders to Marex and Marex's own trade processing, reporting, and settlement functions — are part of Marex's performance of its execution and settlement services and are not separate products or services provided to LB Partners.
LB Partners does not participate in any commission-credit or third-party soft dollar program under which client commissions generate credits used to pay for research or other vendor expenses. The outsourced trading arrangement presents conflicts of interest, including the following:
- Cost of trading function. Because Marex is compensated through commissions borne by the Funds, LB Partners avoids the expense of employing an internal trading desk, an expense the Firm would otherwise bear itself. LB Partners therefore has an incentive to maintain an outsourced trading arrangement compensated through client commissions.
- Incentive to trade through Marex. Because the Funds pay Marex a service fee on transactions executed through other brokers in addition to those brokers' commissions, trading away from Marex increases the Funds' total transaction costs. LB Partners therefore has an incentive to direct transactions to Marex for execution rather than to other brokers, even where another broker might otherwise be selected. LB Partners addresses these conflicts through its duty to seek best execution for client transactions. The Firm conducts periodic, documented reviews of the Marex arrangement and of execution quality generally, considering factors including execution quality, commission rates and their reasonableness relative to comparable execution-only arrangements, responsiveness, trading expertise, access to liquidity, financial stability, and operational capability. In addition, the Firm makes a periodic good-faith determination that the commissions paid by the Funds are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received from executing brokers. To avoid favoring Marex over other suitable executing brokers, LB Partners implements annual trading percentage guidelines that establishes set trade allocations between the Firm’s approved executing brokers. 2.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
3.
Directed Brokerage
4.
Aggregating Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
LB Partners does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, Client referrals from a broker-dealer. LB Partners may receive referrals in the future and if it does it will appropriately amend this Brochure. LB Partners does not accept directed brokerage. Securities transactions in the Funds are executed by brokers selected by LB Partners in its discretion and without the consent of Fund Investors. LB Partners may (but is not required to) combine orders on behalf of one Client account with orders for other Client accounts for which it or its principals have trading authority, or in which it or its principals have an economic interest. When it does, LB Partners will generally allocate the securities or proceeds arising out of those transactions (and the related transaction expenses) on an average
price basis among the various participants. LB Partners believes combining orders in this way will, over time, be advantageous to all participants. However, the average price could be less advantageous to a Client than if that Client had been the only account effecting the transaction or had completed its transaction before the other participants. Because of LB Partners’ relationship to the Clients it manages by virtue of its position as an investment manager, there may be circumstances in which transactions for those entities may not, under certain laws, regulations and internal policies, be combined with those of some of LB Partners’ and its affiliates’ other Clients, which may result in less advantageous execution for those Clients.
LB Partners may place orders for the same security for different Clients at different times and in different relative amounts due to differences in investment objectives, cash availability, size of order and practicability of participating in “block” transactions. The level of participation by different Clients in the same security may also be dependent upon other factors relating to the suitability of the security for the particular Client. In addition, LB Partners and/or its related persons or Clients may buy or sell specific securities for its or their own account that are not deemed appropriate for Client accounts at the time, based on personal investment considerations that differ from the considerations on which decisions as to investments in Client accounts are made. Where execution opportunities for a particular security are limited, LB Partners attempts in good faith to allocate such opportunities among Clients in a manner that, over time, is equitable to all Clients.
Item 14: Client referrals and other compensation Conflicts of interest
Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties
B.
Compensation to Non-Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals
LB Partners does not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly from any third party for advice rendered to the Client. Currently, neither LB Partners nor its related persons directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not advisory personnel for Client referrals. If in the future LB Partners enters into such arrangements, this Brochure will be appropriately amended.
Item 9: Disciplinary information
LB Partners and its management persons have not been a party to any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a Clients’, Investor’s, or prospective Investor’s evaluation of its investment advisory business or the integrity of its management.
Item 13: Review of accounts
Frequency and Nature of Periodic Review and Who Makes Those Reviews
B.
Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client Accounts
C.
Content and Frequency of Regular Reports
LB Partners closely monitors the portfolio investments of each Client to determine the portfolio’s conformity with the relevant Client’s risk parameters, investment objectives, and guidelines. The Managing Member of each Funds’ general partner, Charles P. Cocke, Jr., monitors the portfolio investments of the Clients at least quarterly, identifies investment opportunities that meet the Clients’ investment objectives, reviews the Clients’ performance, and makes changes when appropriate to ensure the Clients’ investment objectives are met. Reviews may take place more frequently if triggered by economic, market, or political conditions. Investors in the Clients receive quarterly unaudited capital account statements and annual audited financial statements. LB Partners or the Clients may provide to any Investor (or the Investor’s designated agents)
statements, reports and other communications relating to the Clients or the Investor’s investment in the Clients exclusively in electronic form, such as e-mail, without separate mailing of paper copies, provided that the Investor consents to receive such statements, reports and other communications in such format.
Item 15: Custody
Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act provides that because LB Partners and/or its related persons are the general partners of the Clients, LB Partners may be considered to have “custody” of the Clients’ assets, even though independent qualified custodians actually hold those assets. The rule generally requires investment advisers that have “custody” of Client assets to cause certain account statements detailing holdings and transactions to be sent to Clients and imposes certain other obligations.
LB Partners intends to employ the safeguarding procedures described in Rule 206(4)-2(b)(4) of the Advisers Act, which exempts LB Partners from certain obligations so long as LB Partners (i) engages an independent accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to conduct an annual audit of the Client, and (ii) distributes audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to all Investors within 120 days after the Clients’ fiscal year end.
Item 16: Investment discretion
The Constituent Documents generally authorize LB Partners to invest and trade the Clients’ assets in a broad range of investments, to be selected at LB Partners’ sole discretion, with no specific limitations as to type, amount, concentration, or leverage. Further, LB Partners may enter into any type of investment transaction and employ any investment methodology or strategy it deems appropriate. Pursuant to the Constituent Documents, each Investor in the Client designates LB Partners as its attorney-in-fact to execute, certify, acknowledge, file, record and swear to all instruments, agreements and documents necessary or advisable to carry out the Clients’ business and affairs,
including execution of the Clients’ governing documents. An Investor’s execution of a Clients’ subscription agreement constitutes its execution of the Clients’ governing documents.
Item 17: Voting client securities
LB Partners exercises voting authority over Client proxies and has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act. The policies require LB Partners to vote proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Funds.
The policies also require LB Partners to vote proxies in a prudent and diligent manner intended to enhance the economic value of the assets held in the Funds. However, the policies permit LB Partners to abstain from voting proxies in the event that the Funds’ economic interest, in the matter being voted upon, is limited relative to the Funds’ overall portfolio, or the impact of the vote will not have an effect on its outcome or on the Funds’ economic interests.
Although many proxy proposals can be voted in accordance with LB Partners’ proxy voting guidelines, some proposals will require special consideration, and LB Partners will make a decision on a case-by-case basis in certain situations. Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict between LB Partners’ interests and the interests of the Funds, LB Partners will seek to resolve the conflict in the best interest of the Funds. It is not possible for investors in a Fund to direct votes made by LB Partners on behalf of the Funds.
A copy of LB Partners’ proxy voting policies and procedures and how LB Partners voted, are available upon request.
