Item 4 - Advisory Business
Firm Description
Bonaventure Capital, LLC, (“Bonaventure”) an Alabama limited liability
company, was founded in 1998.
Bonaventure provides investment advisory services to Investment Limited
Liability Companies, Investment Limited Partnerships, and a registered
investment company (collectively “the Funds”). Bonaventure also provides
investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, corporations, and other
entities through separately managed accounts ("SMAs").
The owners of Bonaventure are Steven M. Dauphin, Billy L. Harbert, Jr.,
James O. Rein, and William E. Reiser, Jr.
Separately Managed Accounts
For SMAs, Bonaventure recommends and implements specific investment
strategies that, after consultation and mutual agreement with the Client, best
meet the individual Client's investment objectives. Much of the investment
strategies recommended to and implemented on behalf of SMA Clients
involve the use of index Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") and their listed
options. SMA Clients are welcome to impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or types of securities.
Upon request, Bonaventure also will advise SMA Clients on private equity
investments that they make at their discretion.
As of December 31, 2024, Bonaventure manages $105,945,419 of SMA
Client assets on a discretionary basis and $278,552,427 of SMA Client assets
on a non-discretionary basis.
The Funds
Bonaventure advises and manages Investment Limited Liability Companies
and Investment Limited Partnerships and subadvises a registered investment
company (collectively “the Funds”). Bonaventure provides the Funds with
certain investment management and related services, including, but not
limited to (i) identifying, evaluating, and structuring investment opportunities
consistent with each Fund’s governing documents (ii) monitoring investments
made by each Fund; and (iii) disposing of and liquidating investments made
by each Fund.
As of December 31, 2024, Bonaventure manages $32,898,833 of Fund
assets on a discretionary basis and $20,347,792 of Fund assets on a non-
discretionary basis.

Bonaventure Capital
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Separately Managed Accounts
Bonaventure charges advisory fees for SMAs based on a percentage of
assets under management. Such fees, as well as account minimums, are
negotiated on a case-by-case basis depending on the level of services
required and/or potential growth of an account through future contributions.
For example, for assets allocated to a strategy involving listed options, our fee
schedule is typically as follows:
Assets under Management Quarterly Rate Annual Rate
First $1 Million
Next $4 Million
Excess over $5 Million
0.2500%
0.1875%
0.1250%
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
For assets allocated to strategies that require less ongoing maintenance,
such as a diversified portfolio of ETFs, Bonaventure typically charges an
advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, regardless of account size.
SMA fees are typically payable in arrears on a quarterly basis and based
upon the fair market value of the account as of the last business day of the
previous quarter. Clients may choose either to have these fees deducted
directly from their account or to pay them separately.
SMA Clients receiving advice on private equity investments pay Bonaventure
an asset-based fee and a performance-based fee.
Investment Management Agreements between Bonaventure and its SMA
Clients may be terminated by either party at any time without penalty upon
written notice. Fees paid to Bonaventure are exclusive of any custodial and
transaction costs an SMA Client may be charged by the account custodian,
broker dealer or other.
The Funds
Southeastern Micro-Cap Financial Services Fund, LP - Bonaventure acts as
the investment manager under contract to Southeastern Micro-Cap Financial
Services Fund, LP (“SMFSF”), a Delaware limited partnership formed as a
pooled investment vehicle to invest in the financial services industry. SMFSF
is closed to new investors. For its services, Bonaventure receives an annual
fee from the Fund equal to 1% of assets under management, payable in
arrears on a quarterly basis. Fees are calculated based upon the Net Asset
Value of the Fund as of the last business day of the previous quarter.
An affiliated company, Bonaventure Partners, LLC ("BP"), is the General
Partner of SMFSF. In exchange for its services as the General Partner of the
Partnership, the General Partner receives a special profit allocation of 15% of
the Net Profit allocated to the Limited Partners (subject to certain limitations).
- 2 -
Bonaventure Capital
SMFSF investors should refer to the SMFSF Offering Memorandum for
greater details.
Treble Range Partners, LLC - Bonaventure is the investment manager and
managing member of Treble Range Partners, LLC (“TRP”), an Alabama
limited liability company organized in 1998 to operate as a private investment
company. TRP is owned entirely by the owners of Bonaventure.
TRP pays Bonaventure an annual management fee equal to two percent
(2.00%) of the value of TRP’s investments and cash reserves. Bonaventure
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive all or any portion of the above
fees. Such fees are payable in arrears on a quarterly basis, and are due as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days, following the end of
the previous calendar quarter. Such fees are determined based on the value
of TRP's investments and cash reserves as of the end of each calendar
quarter. As Managing Member, Bonaventure receives a profit allocation for
managing TRP’s operations equal to 20% of all profits.
Treble Range Partners III, LLC - Bonaventure is the Manager of Treble
Range Partners III, LLC (“TRP3”), a Delaware limited liability company
organized in 2021 to operate as a private investment company. TRP3 is
owned entirely by the owners of Bonaventure.
TRP3 pays Bonaventure a management fee in arrears, following the end of
each calendar quarter, equal to 0.50% of the “Fee Base” as of the last day of
the calendar quarter. The “Fee Base” is the sum of invested capital and
reserves of TRP3. Dauphin and Reiser will receive 7.3% of any TRP3 net
profits.
Gulfstream Nordic Holdings, LLC - Bonaventure is the investment manager of
Gulfstream Nordic Holdings, LLC (“GNH”), a Delaware limited liability
company organized in 2019 to operate as a private investment company.
GNH is owned by owners of Bonaventure and a former Bonaventure
employee.
GNH pays to Bonaventure an annual management fee equal to two percent
(2.00%) of GNH’s invested capital and cash reserves. Bonaventure may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, waive all or any portion of the above fees. Such
fees are payable in arrears on a quarterly basis, and are due as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than 14 days, following the end of the
previous calendar quarter. Dauphin and Reiser are investors in GNH, and
each will receive 0.3% of any GNH net profits.
OneAscent Capital Impact Fund I, LP - Bonaventure owns a 10% fee-sharing
percentage of the manager of this Fund. Also, Dauphin and Reiser each own
7.5% of the General Partner of this Fund, which had its final close in
November 2023.
OneAscent Capital Opportunities Fund - Bonaventure acts as Subadviser to
this Fund, a registered investment company. Bonaventure receives 10% of
the advisory fee the Adviser receives from the Fund.
- 3 -
Bonaventure Capital
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees
Bonaventure manages both accounts that are charged a performance-based
fee and accounts that are charged an asset-based fee, creating a potential
conflict of interest such as an incentive to favor accounts for which a
performance-based fee is received. Bonaventure’s Code of Ethics addresses
such conflicts and specifies that “the interests of the clients must come first.”
Dauphin and Reiser supervise each other and all other employees with
respect to compliance with the Code of Ethics. Failure to comply may result in
disciplinary action, including termination of employment. Please see Item 11
for more information on our Code of Ethics.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Bonaventure provides investment advisory services to Investment Limited
Liability Companies, Investment Limited Partnerships, and a registered
investment company (collectively “the Funds”). Bonaventure also provides
investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, corporations, and other
entities through separately managed accounts.
Bonaventure typically does not accept accounts with less than $100,000, but
exceptions can and have been made depending on the client’s
circumstances.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss
Separately Managed Accounts
For SMA Clients, Bonaventure analyzes the historical risk and return
characteristics of a broad range of asset class combinations. Asset classes
representing the vast majority of the publicly traded investment market are
included. ETFs chosen to represent those asset classes in portfolios are
analyzed based on their expense ratios, tracking error, index replication
methodology and liquidity. Based on historical measures of return, volatility,
and correlation, together with assumptions concerning future risk and return
consistent with Modern Portfolio Theory, portfolios are constructed to exhibit
the risk and return characteristics desired by the Client. In many SMAs, with
the Client's consent via its Investment Management Agreement with
Bonaventure, Bonaventure employs an ETF option-writing strategy whereby
out-of-the-money, cash-secured put options and covered call options are
written. As disclosed in item 5, Bonaventure typically charges an annual
advisory fee of up to 1.0% on assets allocated to an options strategy,
- 4 -
Bonaventure Capital
whereas assets allocated to a diversified ETF portfolio are typically charged
an annual advisory fee of 0.25%.
There is no guarantee that the investment strategies implemented will
perform as intended. Investing in ETFs involves risk of loss that Clients
should be prepared to bear. SMA Clients investing in ETFs will receive
prospectuses and annual reports from the management companies of the
ETFs in their portfolios. These documents should be reviewed for more
details on the risks associated with investing in ETFs and the asset classes
represented by the ETFs.
There are special risks associated with option writing. The writer of a covered
call forgoes the opportunity to benefit from an increase in the value of the
underlying stock above the exercise price but continues to bear the risk of a
decline in the value of the underlying stock. The writer of a put option bears a
risk of loss if the value of the underlying stock declines below the exercise
price, and such loss could be substantial if the decline is significant.
Southeastern Micro-Cap Financial Services Fund, LP
The following is a brief explanation of the methods of analysis, investment
strategies and risk of loss in the Southeastern Micro-Cap Financial Services
Fund, LP ("SMFSF"). Investors in SMFSF should refer to its Confidential
Private Offering Memorandum which covers these topics in much greater
detail.
SMFSF's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation through
investment in equity securities of companies in the financial services industry,
with special emphasis on banks, bank holding companies and thrifts located
in the southeastern United States with market capitalizations generally less
than $500 million. Prospective investments are analyzed using fundamental
financial analysis.
An investment in the Fund involves significant risks and is suitable only for
investors of substantial financial means who can accommodate limited or no
liquidity in their investment and who can bear the risk of potential loss of all or
a substantial portion of their investment. Investors should carefully consider
the risk factors detailed in the Confidential Private Offering Memorandum
including investment risks and partnership risks.
Private Equity Investments
In its advisory role with respect to private equity investments, Bonaventure
analyzes deals using fundamental financial analysis with significant
consideration given to management team and co-investor syndicate.
Bonaventure's private equity fund clients do not have a specific industry focus
but rather are opportunistic in their investment approach.
Private equity investments involve significant risks and are suitable only for
investors of substantial financial means who can accommodate limited or no
- 5 -
Bonaventure Capital
liquidity in their investment and who can bear the risk of potential loss of all or
a substantial portion of their investment.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
The firm and its employees have not been involved in legal or disciplinary
events related to past or present investment Clients.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Steven Dauphin and William Reiser, Members of Bonaventure, are also
Members of Fidelis Capital, LLC ("Fidelis"), a SEC-registered investment
adviser affiliated through common control and ownership. Mr. Dauphin is a
Principal of OneAscent Capital Management I, LLC, and OneAscent Capital
GP I, LLC (“OneAscent”) and an investment committee member of
OneAscent Capital Impact Fund I, LP, and OneAscent Capital Opportunities
Fund. Advisory services provided by Fidelis and OneAscent are separate and
distinct from the advisory services of Bonaventure and are provided in
exchange for industry-standard compensation. No Client of Fidelis or
OneAscent is obligated to use Bonaventure for any advisory services, and
conversely, no Bonaventure Client is obligated to use the advisory services
provided by Fidelis or OneAscent. Bonaventure and Fidelis may share
management fees when a Client is provided advisory services by both
advisers.
The owners of Bonaventure also own Bonaventure Partners, LLC, the entity
that is eligible for performance-based fees from some of the investment
entities managed by Bonaventure. Mr. Reiser and Mr. Dauphin are also
Members of OneAscent Capital GP I, LLC, the General Partner of OneAscent
Capital Impact Fund I, LP, the manager of which Bonaventure owns a 10%
fee-sharing percentage. Mr. Dauphin is also an unpaid Member of the LP
Advisory Committee of WRB Serra Partners Fund I.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Bonaventure has adopted a Code of Ethics expressing the firm's commitment
to ethical conduct. Bonaventure's Code of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary
duties and responsibilities to Clients and sets forth Bonaventure's practice of
supervising the personal securities transactions of supervised persons with
access to Client information. Individuals associated with Bonaventure may
buy or sell securities for their personal accounts identical to or different than
- 6 -
Bonaventure Capital
those recommended to Clients. It is the expressed policy of Bonaventure that
no person employed by Bonaventure shall prefer his or her own interest to
that of an advisory Client or make personal investment decisions based on
the investment decisions of advisory Clients.
To supervise compliance with its Code of Ethics, Bonaventure requires that
anyone associated with its advisory practice with access to advisory
recommendations provide annual securities holdings reports and quarterly
transaction reports to the firm's Chief Compliance Officer. Bonaventure also
requires such access persons to receive approval from the Chief Compliance
Officer prior to investing in any IPOs or private placements (limited offerings).
Bonaventure requires that all employees must act in accordance with all
applicable Federal and State regulations governing registered investment
advisory practices. Bonaventure's Code of Ethics further includes the firm's
policy prohibiting the use of material non-public information. Any individual not
in compliance with the above may be subject to discipline.
Bonaventure will provide a complete copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client
or prospective Client upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer at
Bonaventure's principal address.
Some Bonaventure owners have a material financial interest in some of
Bonaventure's Clients. Such Clients receive no favorable treatment with
respect to investment allocation as compared to other Bonaventure Clients in
whom no Bonaventure owners have a material financial interest.
Bonaventure presented a private market investment fund sub-advised by
Fidelis to certain of its Clients for which it was suitable. Bonaventure's
affiliation with Fidelis was fully disclosed, and Bonaventure Clients who chose
to invest in the Fund did so solely at their own discretion based on an
independent investigation and review.
In the event the same private market investment is recommended to both
Bonaventure and Fidelis Clients, allocations of the investment are made in a
manner that maximizes the interests of each Client. Clients will not purchase
investments from each other unless the fairness of the transaction price is
validated by the involvement of an unrelated third party.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
SMA Clients may choose the brokerage firm which will custody their account,
or Bonaventure will recommend one based on service and cost. If an SMA
Client chooses to use a brokerage firm other than one recommended by
Bonaventure, Bonaventure may be unable to achieve the most favorable
execution of the client's transactions. For example, with a brokerage firm that
is not recommended by Bonaventure, the client may pay higher commissions
- 7 -
Bonaventure Capital
and fees or receive less favorable transaction prices. Bonaventure receives
no research or other products and services from brokers it recommends.
Bonaventure will aggregate the purchase or sale of securities for various
client accounts when the accounts are with the same brokerage firm, the
same trade is appropriate for all the accounts, and the brokerage firm permits
block trading. Block trading enables all the accounts included in the
transaction to receive the same price. If the same transaction is appropriate
for two clients with accounts at different brokerage firms, Bonaventure cannot
aggregate the transactions, and it is possible that one client will receive a
price that is less favorable than the other due to market fluctuation.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
Mr. Reiser reviews SMFSF and all SMAs regularly for compliance with policy,
suitability of investments and investment objectives. Reiser also assists with
reviews of private equity investment entities under management on an as-
needed basis. Mr. Dauphin reviews all private equity funds under advisement
and their portfolio companies on a regular basis.
Each investor in SMFSF receives quarterly correspondence providing the
value of his interest in the Fund. Members and Limited Partners of the private
equity funds under management receive performance updates on a quarterly
basis.
SMA Clients have full on-line access to all their account documents, including
transaction confirmations and monthly statements, on their brokerage firm's
web site. SMA Clients also receive a quarterly account performance review
prepared by Bonaventure.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Bonaventure does not accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from
other professionals when it refers a prospect or Client to them. Bonaventure
receives no compensation other than that which is disclosed in this brochure.
Bonaventure is entered into two Solicitation Agreements – one with Philip
Hodges and another with Kidron Capital Securities, LLC – whereby they
introduce Bonaventure to prospective SMA Clients. Only the Hodges
agreement is active. If a prospect he introduces becomes a Client, he
receives a percentage of any advisory fee paid to Bonaventure by that Client.
His activities on Bonaventure's behalf are limited to Client solicitation and
introduction; he is not authorized to render any investment advice. Prior to
Bonaventure providing advisory services to a Client introduced by Hodges,
the Client is provided a disclosure of this fee arrangement and acknowledges
receipt of it in writing.
- 8 -
Bonaventure Capital
Item 15 - Custody
Bonaventure does not have custody of SMA client assets other than the
authority to deduct management fees from those Clients who permit such
payment method. Bonaventure does have custody of funds and securities in
TRP, TRP3, GNH, and SMFSF, but all assets are held at qualified
custodians. SMA clients and investors in TRP, TRP3 and GNH receive or can
access account statements directly from their custodians at least quarterly.
Clients should carefully review those statements and compare them to the
performance report statements provided by Bonaventure. SMFSF investors
receive quarterly performance reports from Bonaventure and audited SMFSF
financial statements within 120 days of the end of SMFSF's fiscal year.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
Bonaventure accepts discretionary authority to manage SMAs, subject to the
Client's Investment Management Agreement with Bonaventure. SMA Clients
sign a limited power of attorney form providing Bonaventure with the ability to
execute trades in Clients' accounts.
The governing documents of SMFSF, TRP, TRP3 and GNH provide
Bonaventure with full discretion in identifying, evaluating, and selecting the
investments in which each Fund will invest.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
Bonaventure does not vote proxies on securities in SMA Client accounts.
SMA Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations from their
custodian or a transfer agent and are expected to vote their own proxies.
Clients are welcome to contact Bonaventure with questions about a particular
solicitation.
Bonaventure does have authority to vote securities owned by SMFSF, TRP,
TRP3 and GNH. Bonaventure votes these clients' securities in a manner
which it believes will maximize the long-term returns to the investors in these
funds. Clients may obtain information about how Bonaventure voted fund
securities upon request.
Bonaventure does not have authority to vote securities owned by the
OneAscent funds, but Steve Dauphin and Carter Burleson may advise
OneAscent on such matters.
Clients also may obtain a copy of Bonaventure's proxy voting policies and
procedures upon request.
