Overview of Capricorn Investment Group, LLC This Brochure provides information for ten investment advisers, as detailed below, (i) Capricorn Investment Group, LLC; (ii) Capricorn Advisers, LLC; (iii) Capricorn Management, LLC; (iv) Capricorn-Libra Partners, LLC; (v) TIF Partners, LLC; (vi) TIF Partners II, LLC; (vii) TIGF Partners, LLC, (viii) TIGF Partners II, LLC, (ix) SIF Partners LLC, and (x) Sustainable Investors Fund GP S.à r.l. In accordance with the 2012 ABA SEC No-Action Letter, Capricorn Investment Group, LLC (“Capricorn”) is the “filing adviser” and (i) Capricorn Advisers, LLC; (ii) Capricorn Management, LLC; (iii) Capricorn-Libra Partners, LLC; (iv) TIF Partners, LLC; (v) TIF Partners II, LLC; (vi) TIGF Partners, LLC, (vii) TIGF Partners II, LLC, (viii) SIF Partners LLC, and (ix) Sustainable Investors Fund GP S.à r.l. are “relying advisers”. References to Capricorn in this Brochure are generally intended to encompass the relying advisers, except where otherwise noted. Capricorn Investment Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, manages the assets of high-net worth individuals, trust accounts and tax-exempt foundations. Capricorn was established in April of 2007 to continue the business of Capricorn Management, LLC (“Capricorn Management”). Capricorn Management commenced business in 2001 as a family office for Capricorn’s anchor client. Capricorn provides its advisory services in conjunction with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Capricorn Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Capricorn Advisers”).. Capricorn has entered into a services agreement with this subsidiary pursuant to which they provide Capricorn with investment advice and other services in exchange for a portion of the management fee paid with respect to Capricorn clients’ investments. The principal owner of Capricorn is a limited liability company that is owned by the Jeffrey S. Skoll Revocable Trust. It should be noted that there are other owners of Capricorn with less than 25% ownership interest that are fully disclosed in Schedule A of Capricorn’s Form ADV Part 1. On a day-to-day basis, Capricorn is managed by Dr. Ion Yadigaroglu, Managing Principal and Member. B. Advisory Services Capricorn seeks to generate returns by investing in a diversified global portfolio of leading private funds and making proprietary direct investments with limited permanent capital loss risk at the portfolio level. Capricorn implements a scenario-based and mean variance approach to guide capital allocation and risk management for its clients. Capricorn’s vision is to provide consistently strong investment performance and risk management, with a principled investment approach. Capricorn believes that achieving superior investment returns does not preclude a principled investment approach, meaning that Capricorn’s people, processes and underlying investments seek to be of uncompromising quality, aligned with the interests of its clients, ethical, fair, long-term oriented and not directly harmful to our world or people. In addition to the foregoing, Capricorn and its relying advisers provide certain advice to various private investment partnerships and funds. Capricorn may engage in other advisory services in the future, such as providing portfolio reviewing/consulting services, and will update this Brochure when it commences activities in those areas. The advisory clients of Capricorn (the “Advisory Clients” or the “Clients”) and its relying advisers are described below. 1 The Discretionary Client Program Capricorn allocates and manages its discretionary clients’ assets (each a “Discretionary Client”) through limited partnerships and other investment entities (“Discretionary Client Program”). Under the Discretionary Client Program Capricorn advises single investor Delaware limited partnerships (each an “Investor Holding Partnership” or “IHP”) or single investor Cayman Islands limited partnerships (each a “Cayman Partnership”). Each Cayman Partnership invests in an individual Delaware limited partnership created specifically for that Cayman Partnership (also an “IHP”). Capricorn serves as the general partner of each IHP and Cayman Partnership. Each IHP invests its assets in underlying funds managed by third parties, funds managed by Capricorn, its relying advisers and affiliates, direct investments, co-investment opportunities and other opportunities (any such investment, an “Underlying Investment”). For certain non-US clients, Capricorn has set up a structure similar to the IHP structure outlined above, the primary vehicle being a Luxembourg SICAV which makes Underlying Investments. As applicable, references to IHPs in this ADV should also include references to the activities of the Luxembourg SICAV. Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program Capricorn provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advice and management services (the “Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program”) to a particular high net-worth client (referred to as the “Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program” or “Individual Client”) and to several non-taxable entities created by the Individual Client (the “Non-Taxable Entities”). The Individual Client is a control person of Capricorn. The Individual Client’s assets are invested through a series of entities ultimately controlled by Capricorn Management, an entity wholly-owned by the Individual Client. Capricorn is a non-managing member of Capricorn Management and has entered into an investment advisory services agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with an indirect subsidiary of Capricorn Management (the “Advisory Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Capricorn provides investment advice with respect to the investment of the Individual Client’s assets (the “Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program”). Capricorn Management is a relying adviser of Capricorn. The Individual Client invests its assets in Underlying Investments. Capricorn provides investment advice to the Non-Taxable Entities pursuant to an investment management agreement between the Non-Taxable Entities and Capricorn (the “Discretionary Legacy Client Program”). The assets of the Non-Taxable Entities are not invested through the IHPs, but instead are invested directly in Underlying Investments, often alongside the IHPs. 2 Private Fund Strategies Below provides a description of the investment strategies and respective funds managed by Capricorn and Capricorn’s relying adviser entities (the “Private Fund Strategies”).

Sustainable Investors Fund GP S.à r.l. is a relying adviser of Capricorn. Conflicts relating to SIF are discussed in Item 10 and Item 11B below. C. Tailoring of Advisory Services Capricorn does not tailor its investment advisory services to the investors in the private funds it advises (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”). However, investors in the Funds may negotiate certain terms of their investment prior to the time of investment. Investors in the Funds generally may not impose restrictions on the types of securities that the Funds invest in. Capricorn has tailored its advisory services for its high-net worth, charitable foundation clients, and other clients who invest through investment vehicles other than the private funds. Further, Capricorn works with its Discretionary Clients to develop an asset allocation strategy for each Discretionary Client and this asset allocation serves as one of the focal points of the Discretionary Client Program. Clients in the Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. D. Wrap Fee Programs Not applicable to Capricorn. Capricorn does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, Capricorn managed $8,432,100,343 on a discretionary basis and $4,034,267,643 on a non-discretionary basis. 4 ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION A. Compensation and Fee Schedule Detailed information with respect to how Capricorn is compensated for the advisory services it provides is contained in the operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts for the clients. Generally, Capricorn is compensated by the receipt of management fees and certain performance-based allocations, also described in Item 6 below. Prospective investors should carefully review the operative documents for the relevant investing vehicle prior to making an investment and/or retaining Capricorn as an investment adviser. It should be noted that certain advisory fees are negotiable in that Capricorn has waived (in whole or in part) the fees paid by certain clients and investors in the Funds and may enter into different fee agreements with different clients or investors, including employees and affiliates of Capricorn, in its discretion. Capricorn has in certain circumstances invested Discretionary Client assets in affiliated private investment funds or in private funds for which Capricorn retains certain economic interests. Under such circumstances, Capricorn’s clients may be subject to two layers of fees for the management of these assets, one to Capricorn and one to the adviser of the vehicle, who may be Capricorn or a Capricorn affiliate. For a discussion of the conflicts of interest posed by such related party transactions, see Item 10 and 11. Neither Capricorn nor its supervised persons accept compensation for the sales of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. B. Deduction of Advisory and Incentive Fees Capricorn deducts fees from its clients’ assets. As applicable, Capricorn advisory fees are calculated and recorded quarterly. With respect to certain clients, Capricorn does not receive advisory fees. Capricorn’s incentive allocation, if applicable, is calculated and recorded annually or quarterly depending on the client. Other expenses are generally calculated and recorded as incurred. C. Other Fees and Expenses Fees and Expenses of the Discretionary Client Program Each IHP will bear all direct costs and expenses incurred in the holding, purchase, sale or exchange of any IHP investments (whether or not ultimately consummated), including, but not by way of limitation, (i) all general investment expenses (i.e., brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses); (ii) management fees and carried interest, if any, of any Underlying Investments; (iii) all administrative, legal, accounting, auditing, record-keeping, tax form preparation; (iv) fees, costs and expenses of third-party service providers that provide such services. 5 Fees and Expenses of the Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program Each Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program client will bear all direct costs and expenses incurred in the holding, purchase, sale or exchange of any investments in the portfolio (whether or not ultimately consummated), including, but not by way of limitation, (i) all general investment expenses (i.e., brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses); (ii) management fees and carried interest, if any, of any Underlying Investments; (iii) all administrative, legal, accounting, auditing, record-keeping, tax form preparation; (iv) fees, costs and expenses of third-party service providers that provide such services. Fees and Expenses of the Private Fund Strategies In general, the Funds are responsible for all expenses and fees related to an investment including, without limitation, will bear all direct costs and expenses incurred in the holding, purchase, sale or exchange of any investments in the portfolio (whether or not ultimately consummated), including, but not by way of limitation, (i) all general investment expenses (i.e., brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses); (ii) management fees and carried interest, if any, of any Underlying Investments (if applicable); (iii) all administrative, legal, accounting, auditing, record-keeping, tax form preparation; (iv) fees, costs and expenses of third-party service providers that provide such services. Ancillary Fees and Management Fee Offsets As described in greater detail in the applicable Fund’s governing documents, Capricorn, certain affiliates and its employees may receive break-up and topping fees, commitment fees, monitoring and directors’ fees and transaction, financing, divestment and other fees from portfolio companies as compensation for financial advisory and other services such persons provide to portfolio companies. If Capricorn (and/or any affiliate or employee) is paid such fees, such fees will be directly or indirectly offset against the management fees payable by the applicable Fund to the extent required by such Fund’s governing documents. For additional details regarding the management fee offset arrangements in effect for of a particular Fund, please review such Fund’s governing documents. These fees, and the associated conflicts of interest they present, are further described in Item 11 below. D. Prepayment of Fees With respect to the clients in the Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program, a portion of the fees are paid in advance and if an advisory contract is terminated before the end of a billing period, the amount of the fee paid in advance will be pro-rated and rebated. With respect to clients in the Discretionary Client Program, fees are paid in arrears or in advance, as described in the client’s operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts. For clients whose fees are paid in advance, if an advisory contract is terminated before the end of a billing period, the amount of the fee paid in advance will be pro-rated and rebated. With respect to the Private Fund Strategies, investors pay any applicable management fees in advance on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, as described in the client’s operative governing 6 documents and/or advisory contracts. Typically, investors cannot withdraw from the Private Fund Strategies. Accordingly, such investors would not be entitled to a refund. 7 ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT The fact that Capricorn is eligible to receive performance-based compensation creates a potential conflict of interest in that it may create an incentive for Capricorn to make more speculative investments than it might otherwise make. Such performance-based compensation arrangements also create an incentive to favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. It should be noted that investors are provided with clear disclosure as to the risks associated with the payment of such performance-based compensation. Capricorn (or an affiliate) will receive performance-based compensation from certain clients, but not from others. In addition, the amount of performance-based compensation that Capricorn is entitled to receive varies from client to client. Each of these creates a potential conflict of interest in that it may create an incentive for Capricorn to direct more profitable investment ideas to, or allocate investment opportunities in a manner that favors, those clients and investors that pay a performance fee or allocation. In order to manage such potential conflicts, the client portfolios are under continuous review by the key individuals of the firm (as described in Item 13A). In an effort to mitigate this inherent conflict of interest, Capricorn has implemented a detailed allocation policy and Capricorn regularly reviews its investment allocations to seek to confirm that investments are allocated among its clients on what Capricorn deems to be an equitable basis. Capricorn, to the extent within its control, will act in a manner that it believes over the long term is fair and equitable to all its clients. There are other significant risks related to the management of multiple client accounts, please see the response to Item 11 for a description of some of those risks. 8 ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS As described in Item 4B, Capricorn (as of the date of this ADV Part 2A) provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles, high net-worth individuals, trust accounts and charitable organizations. Clients of Capricorn must be sophisticated in financial matters and be qualified purchasers as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Capricorn does not impose a minimum account size for client accounts. 9 ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS A. Method of Analysis and Investment Strategies Discretionary Client Program and the Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program The following relates primarily to the discretionary investing activities engaged in by Capricorn. The method of analysis and investment strategies used in formulating advice for Capricorn’s Discretionary Client Program and the Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program are the same, however, with respect to the Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program, investment decisions are ultimately made by the clients of the Non-Discretionary Legacy Client Program. Capricorn’s principal objective in managing client assets is to construct and manage an investment portfolio oriented toward long-term capital appreciation. The basic elements underpinning this objective include the following: • • • Developing, in conjunction with the client, a strategic asset allocation strategy for the client which will guide the client’s allocations among a variety of asset classes and investment strategies; Integration of environment, social and governance (ESG) factors in developing clients’ investment portfolios; Implementing the client’s asset allocation strategy by constructing and actively managing a portfolio of investments across one or more asset classes; • Constructing and actively managing a portfolio for each IHP that is expected to be generally consistent with such IHP’s investment objectives. Capricorn employs a scenario-based model to determine the appropriate long-term strategic asset allocation for each client. This approach also incorporates the risk, return, and liquidity parameters of the client, as well as Capricorn’s subjective investment perspectives on future opportunities. It is important to note that the asset allocation strategies are long-term targets and not expected, due to the time required for investment ramp-up, asset valuation volatility, the natural flows of capital and other factors, to be fixed or static at the target levels. Rather, these strategic targets will function as objectives guiding the overall portfolio exposures. Capricorn’s investment strategy provides diversified exposure to the following asset classes. Capricorn expects to modify this list of investment strategies as necessary from time to time. • Cash • Fixed income • Absolute return • Global public equities • Private equity & venture capital • Real Assets • Distressed Credit • Hard assets (e.g. gold) 10 Selection of Underlying Investments Capricorn will conduct sourcing, due diligence, and selection of the Underlying Investments, and will monitor and manage such selections across asset classes on an ongoing basis. The ultimate number of Underlying Investments will be determined in the discretion of Capricorn. Capricorn will seek to have an adequate level of diversification among the Underlying Investments while maintaining enough concentration to achieve the client’s investment objectives. The objective of the investment analysis process is to select a set of investments that assist in meeting the overall investment objective of long-term capital growth. Capricorn intends to follow a comprehensive investment selection process. In general, the selection process begins by assessing a wide variety of investment funds and opportunities across the various investment strategies. A high number of investments are rejected at an initial high-level review if they do not meet Capricorn’s quality standards or the prevailing strategic framework. Investment opportunities that are deemed a potential fit with the investment objectives are then subject to a due diligence and review process during which additional research is performed on the investment opportunity. Many investment opportunities are rejected at this stage and do not proceed past the comprehensive due diligence process. Investment opportunities that are not rejected move to a final phase of due diligence, which is the final step toward investment. The objective of the investment analysis process is to select a set of investments which underpin the overall investment objective of long-term capital growth. Risk Management from Underlying include Capricorn intends to follow a rigorous program to seek to manage investment risks. Overall, managing risks in an investment portfolio begins with a quality sourcing, due diligence and selection process with the objective of having a diversified portfolio of Underlying Investments. Once investments are executed, Capricorn uses a series of portfolio reporting and management systems and tools to track investments against expectations and reviews a range of return and risk analyses on a regular basis. As part of the risk management process, Capricorn monitors allocations across the Underlying Investments, and allocations across other categories including geographies and industries. A series of regular internal reports are provided by the Operations team and reviewed frequently by the Portfolio Management team. Capricorn seeks regular interactions with representatives in-person meetings and Investments, which teleconferences. LIBRA LIBRA’s focus area is early to expansion stage energy technology, IT, agriculture, and emerging markets. TIF TIF’s focus area is early to expansion stage companies operating within the technology sector. TIGF TIGF’s focus area is growth stage companies operating within the technology sector. CIG DS 11 CIG DS’ focus area is growth stage companies operating within the technology sector. CIG LC CIG LC’s focus area is low carbon public equities. SIF SIF’s focus area is early-stage investment and ownership in public and private asset managers who incorporate sustainability as a primary attribute of its investment thesis. B. Risk Factors Capricorn is of the view that all of the investment strategies used by Capricorn are subject to significant risks and are meant for financially sophisticated clients and investors. These risks include the risk of total loss as well as risks related to making illiquid investments. Clients should not retain Capricorn as an investment adviser unless they are able to bear these risks and are able to sustain long periods of illiquidity with respect to the investments made by Capricorn and in funds managed by Capricorn. As noted above, Discretionary Clients of Capricorn presently access Capricorn’s investment strategies through an investment in an IHP, through the private funds and other investment vehicles that comprise LIBRA, TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, CIG LC, and SIF or, in the case of clients in the Discretionary Legacy Client Program, by investing directly in Underlying Investments. A significant portion of these investments, and the investments of LIBRA, TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, and SIF, tend to be with privately-placed vehicles with significant liquidity constraints. Clients need to be ready to bear their investments for an extended period of time. The investment decisions of the Capricorn-managed private funds are made exclusively by Capricorn. Investors will have no right or power to take part in the management of the Capricorn- managed funds. Capricorn’s operations are substantially dependent upon the skill, judgment, and expertise of certain key personnel and its employees or agents. The death, disability, departure, or other unavailability of any key personnel could have a material and adverse effect on the Advisory Clients managed by Capricorn. Capricorn and its respective affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with advisory client interests, assets or activities (including certain conflicts of interest as among the interests of different private fund vehicles). If any matter arises that Capricorn determines in its good faith judgment constitutes an actual conflict of interest, Capricorn will take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate the conflict. Capricorn, its service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. These systems are subject to a number of different threats or risks that could adversely affect the Advisory Clients and investors, despite the efforts of Capricorn and its service providers to adopt technologies, processes and practices intended to mitigate these risks and protect the security of their computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets, as well as the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information belonging to the Advisory Clients and investors. For example, unauthorized third parties may attempt to improperly access, modify, disrupt the operations of, or prevent access to these systems of Capricorn, its service providers, counterparties or data within these systems. Third parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees, customers, third- 12 party service providers or other users of Capricorn’s systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to Capricorn’s data or that of Capricorn’s Advisory Clients and investors. A successful penetration or circumvention of the security of Capricorn’s systems could result in the loss or theft of an investor’s data or funds, the inability to access electronic systems, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system or costs associated with system repairs. Such incidents could cause the Advisory Clients, Capricorn, or their service providers to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs or financial loss. interruption Capricorn and its Advisory Clients generally rely on information technology systems for current and planned operations. Capricorn’s information and technology systems may be vulnerable to damage and failures, computer and from computer viruses, network telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. If any systems designed to manage such risks are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, Capricorn or Advisory Client(s) may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. Any disruption in any of these systems or the failure of any of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect an Advisory Client’s investment results and its ability to make distributions to its partners. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in Capricorn’s and/or Advisory Clients’ operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could harm Capricorn or Advisory Clients’ reputation, subject them to legal claims and otherwise affect their business and financial performance. In its ordinary course of business, Capricorn and its Advisory Clients relies on various counterparties, which include, but is not limited to, brokers, dealers, banks, custodians, and administrators (“Counterparties”). These Counterparties, with which Capricorn does business and on behalf of an Advisory Client, may, from time to time, default on their obligations with or without notice. Such defaults include, but are not limited to, a Counterparty’s bankruptcy, insolvency, or other failure. A Counterparty’s default on their obligations may impact Capricorn’s or an Advisory Client’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course. In the event of a Counterparty’s default, Capricorn will work diligently to access its capital and take actions it deems appropriate while acting in the best interest of the Advisory Client. However, Capricorn’s access to capital is subject to a variety of external factors that are outside of Capricorn’s control, including the timing of default, a government agency’s or other organization’s actions, including the timing of the Counterparty’s closure, ability to liquidate the Counterparty’s assets, or to effect the Counterparty’s sale or dissolution, unforeseeable economic factors or market conditions, and the Counterparty’s technology infrastructure operating as intended to facilitate access. Furthermore, Capricorn’s ability to access capital may have an impact on Capricorn’s and an Advisory Client’s ability to conduct operations in the normal course including, but not limited to paying expenses, access to subscription lines or other working capital facilities, funding investment opportunities resulting in delayed or missed opportunities, and calling capital from or making distributions to limited partners. Deposits concentrated at one or a limited number of Counterparties may amplify these risks. Risk disclosures are generally provided to Advisory Clients and investors prior to making an investment with Capricorn. The operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts provided to Capricorn’s Discretionary Client Program, LIBRA, TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, CIG LC, and SIF contain details related to liquidity terms. Those risk disclosures, as applicable, and liquidity 13 terms should be carefully reviewed prior to making an investment to be managed by Capricorn. If you have any further questions about this, please contact Capricorn’s Chief Compliance Officer. Please refer to the operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts for a more fulsome discussion of risk factors inherent in Capricorn’s investment strategies. Other Risks Capricorn and its Affiliated Entities May Invest in Companies Operating in the Same Sectors Targeted. Capricorn and its affiliated entities frequently make investments in a wide variety of sectors, including clean technology, which is similar across a variety of Advisory Clients. Capricorn and its affiliated entities may invest in a company in one Client and not another because the investment may be more suitable for one. Special Purchase Acquisition Companies. Clients may invest in the securities of a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”). A SPAC is a company that has no operations, but intends to merge with, acquire or otherwise invest in another company. Investing in such securities involves considerations not usually associated with investing in securities of other types of companies, including, among other risks, the risk that a SPAC may not complete an investment in another company and be forced to liquidate its assets at a loss to the Clients. Common Stocks and Equity-Related Securities. Prices of common stock react to the economic conditions of the 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. Investment in Companies Dependent upon New Scientific Developments and Technologies. Clients may invest in companies dependent upon new scientific developments and technologies. The value of the portfolios may be susceptible to factors affecting the science and technology industry and to greater risk than an investment in a portfolio that invests in a broader range of securities. Risks faced by such companies include, but are not limited to: (i) rapidly changing science and technologies; (ii) new competing products and improvements in existing products which may quickly render existing products or technologies obsolete; (iii) scarcity of management, technical, scientific, research and marketing personnel with appropriate training; (iv) the possibility of lawsuits related to patents and intellectual property; (v) changing investor sentiments and preferences with regard to technology sector investments (which are generally perceived as risky); and (vi) exposure to government regulation, making these companies susceptible to changes in government policy and delays or failures in securing regulatory approvals. Difficulty in Valuing Portfolio Investments. Generally, there will be no readily available market for a substantial number of the Client’s private investments and hence, most of the investments will be difficult to value. Despite Capricorn’s efforts to acquire sufficient information to monitor certain of the investments, there may be limited information at certain times. It is possible that Capricorn may not be aware on a timely basis of material adverse changes that have occurred with respect to certain of the Partnership’s investments. Capricorn may have to make valuation determinations without the benefit of an adequate amount of relevant information. Prospective investors or clients should be aware that as a result of these difficulties, as well as other uncertainties, any valuation made by Capricorn may not represent the fair market value of the securities. 14 Competitive Marketplace. The marketplace for investing in privately held companies has become increasingly competitive. Participation by financial intermediaries has increased, substantial amounts of funds have been dedicated to making investments in the private sector, and the competition for investment opportunities remains high. Some of the Client’s potential competitors may have greater financial and personnel resources than Capricorn. There can be no assurances that Capricorn will locate an adequate number of attractive investment opportunities. To the extent that the Clients encounter competition for investments, returns to investors or Clients may be affected or vary. No Market; Illiquidity of Partnership Interests. An investment in the Private Fund Strategies will be illiquid and involves a high degree of risk. There is no public market for limited partnership interests in the Private Fund Strategies, and it is not expected that a public market will develop. Consequently, investors will bear the economic risks of their investment for the term of the Private Fund Strategies. Prospective investors will be required to represent and agree that they are purchasing the limited partnership interests for their own account for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. No Market; Illiquidity of Underlying Investments. Clients will invest in Underlying Investments for which no public market currently exists and may never develop. Additionally, Underlying Investments will invest in securities for which no public market currently exists and may never develop. Such investments involve a high degree of risk. While targeted returns should reflect the perceived level of risk in any investment situation, there can be no assurance that the Clients or the Underlying Investments will be adequately compensated for risks taken. The occurrence of profit realization is highly uncertain. Changing Economic Conditions. The success of Capricorn’s investment strategy could be significantly impacted by changing external economic conditions in the United States and globally. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism, acts of war or acts of god. Changing economic conditions could potentially adversely impact the performance and valuation of portfolio holdings. In addition, the availability, unavailability, or hindered operation of external credit markets, equity markets, and other economic systems which the Clients may depend upon to achieve its objectives may have a significant negative impact on the Partnership’s operations and profitability. There can be no assurance that such markets and economic systems will be available as anticipated or needed for the Clients to operate successfully. Future and Past Performance. The performance of the past investments of the principals and Capricorn are not necessarily indicative of future results. While Capricorn intends for the Clients to make investments that have estimated returns commensurate with the risks undertaken, there can be no assurance that targeted results will be achieved. Loss of principal is possible on any given investment. The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of every risk involved in becoming an Advisory Client or an investor in a Private Fund Strategies. Prospective clients and investors should read the entire Brochure as well the operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts and other materials that may be provided by Capricorn and consult with their own advisers prior to engaging the Capricorn’s services. C. Recommendations of Specific Securities See Items 8.A and 8.B. 15 ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Capricorn has experienced no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of Capricorn or the integrity of its management. 16 ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS A. Broker-Dealer Registration Not applicable. Capricorn and its management persons are not registered and do not have an application pending to register as a broker-dealer, or as a registered representative of a broker- dealer. B. Futures Commissions Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, Commodity Trading Advisor Registration Capricorn and its management persons are not registered and do not have an application pending to register as a futures commission merchant, a commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. C. Material Relationships Relying Advisers As discussed in Item 4 Capricorn has ten relying advisers. Capricorn manages any potential conflict of interest by ensuring that each relying adviser and its supervised persons are subject to the Capricorn compliance program and Code of Ethics. 1. Capricorn Advisers, LLC: Capricorn has entered into services agreements with a wholly- owned subsidiary, Capricorn Advisers, LLC, pursuant to which it will provide investment advice to Capricorn. Certain employees of Capricorn Advisers are officers and/or members of Capricorn. 2. Capricorn Management, LLC: Capricorn provides certain non-discretionary investment advisory services to the Individual Client pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and is wholly- owned by the Individual Client. Capricorn is 50% owned by an entity that itself is wholly- owned by a trust under the control of the Individual Client. The wholly-owned entity holds 50% of the voting authority of Capricorn. 3. LIBRA Fund: The general partner of the LIBRA Fund is a relying adviser of Capricorn and Capricorn acts as an investment adviser to the LIBRA Fund. Please see additional disclosure regarding conflicts of interest in Item 10D and 11B. 4. TIF Funds: The general partners of the TIF Funds are relying advisers of Capricorn and Capricorn acts as an investment advisers to the TIF Funds.

Please see additional disclosure regarding conflicts of interest in Item 10D and 11B. 10. Sustainable Investors Fund GP S.à r.l: This is the general partner of the SIF feeder fund based in Luxembourg and is a relying adviser of Capricorn and Capricorn acts as an investment adviser to the SIF Fund. Please see additional disclosure regarding conflicts of interest in Item 10D and 11B. Strategic Relationships Capricorn has formed certain strategic relationships with third party investment managers to private funds whereby Capricorn, its affiliates and/or Advisory Clients receive a share of the management fee and incentive allocation payable to the manager of the private fund (“Third-Party Managers”). Such advisers may or may not be registered with the SEC as investment advisers. In some cases Capricorn, its affiliates and/or an Advisory Client has acquired an interest in such Third-Party Managers. Additionally, Capricorn personnel may hold a limited partner interest in a vehicle managed by such Third-Party Managers. From time to time, in connection with such strategic relationships, Capricorn may provide strategic advice, or support services to a Third-Party Manager and/or any investment vehicles it manages. This poses a potential conflict of interest in that Capricorn may spend a portion of its business time providing such advice or support services. In addition, the investment vehicles managed by the Third-Party Managers may be in competition with Capricorn for investment opportunities. It should be noted that certain of the clients share in the revenues generated in connection with these relationships and therefore Capricorn’s interests are aligned with its clients’ interests. Capricorn manages this conflict of interest by disclosing such relationship to clients, through adherence with its allocation policy, and by ensuring that all Access Persons adhere to the Capricorn Code of Ethics. Please see Item 10D and Item 11B below for further discussion regarding conflicts of interests related to recommending clients to invest in the funds or vehicles managed by Third-Party Managers. D. Selection of Third-Party Managers and Other Compensation As noted throughout this Item 10 Capricorn, its Advisory Clients, and Capricorn affiliates have relationships with Third-Party Mangers, and their respective investment vehicles that could present potential or actual conflicts of interest. Capricorn may recommend that its clients invest in funds or vehicles managed by Third-Party Managers. Capricorn and its affiliates may have a conflict of interest recommending Third-Party Managers to clients in that Capricorn, its affiliates and Advisory Clients may have a financial interest (including but not limited to receipt of management fees, or incentive fees) that could create an incentive for Capricorn to recommend investments in Third-Party Managers over other, more suitable investments from which no such supplemental financial benefit is derived. Capricorn mitigates such potential conflicts through disclosure to clients, and adherence to its allocation policy and Code of Ethics. Capricorn clients may be subject to additional layers of asset-based fees and performance-based fees or allocations in respect of investments managed by Third-Party Managers. 18 E. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Capricorn sponsors special purpose acquisition companies (the “SPACs”), which are publicly- traded “blind pool” entities that raise a pool of capital from public investors and looks to deploy that cash to acquire all or a part of a private (or potentially public) company. Special purpose acquisition companies are created and managed by a “sponsor” or “founder,” an individual or group with expertise in sourcing and executing acquisition opportunities and/or operational experience in a particular industry (in this case Capricorn). Because the SPACs target a different profile than the Advisory Clients, SPAC’s target profile, Capricorn believes that there would be no conflict when deciding to use the SPAC or capital from the Advisory Clients to make an investment for the SIF Fund, although both would potentially benefit investors. The SPACs are generally treated like any other SIF Fund portfolio investment. F. Other Outside Activities Principals, employees and consultants (together “access persons”) of Capricorn and the relying advisers may engage in outside activities unrelated to Capricorn or the relying advisers. While the amount of time spent by access persons on such activities may vary, such activities could be viewed as competing with the time needed in fulfilling fiduciary obligations to clients of Capricorn and/or the relying advisers. Capricorn manages this conflict of interest by ensuring that access persons adhere to the Capricorn Code of Ethics. Ion Yadigaroglu acts as manager of an investment vehicle in which certain officers, employees, and friends of Capricorn hold a passive economic interest. While the vehicle is not managed by Capricorn, actual or potential conflicts of interest could result in that this vehicle may compete with Capricorn clients in obtaining an allocation in future investment opportunities. Capricorn manages this conflict of interest by ensuring that Mr. Yadigaroglu adheres to the Capricorn Code of Ethics. If you have any questions about these conflicts, please contact Capricorn’s Chief Compliance Officer. 19 ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING A. Code of Ethics Capricorn and its relying advisers have jointly adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code of Ethics”) that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its officers, managers and employees. The Code of Ethics requires each entity’s personnel to report their personal securities holdings and transactions and requires the Chief Compliance Officer to pre-approve certain investments. Capricorn is required to keep copies of the Code of Ethics and records relating to the Code of Ethics. Capricorn personnel are required to submit an annual report of brokerage accounts and holdings along with an annual acknowledgement and certification stating that the individual will comply with the Code of Ethics. In addition, personnel are required to submit quarterly transaction reports (or brokerage statements in lieu of such reports) that detail the individual’s securities transactions for the quarter. All employees, managers and officers of Capricorn must comply with the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics states that personnel owe a duty of loyalty to Capricorn’s clients, requiring personnel to act for the best interests of the clients. In addition, personnel must avoid actions or activities that allow (or appear to allow) them or their family members to profit or benefit from their relationships with Capricorn, its affiliates, and its clients. The Code of Ethics also contains policies involving the safeguarding of proprietary and non-public information by Capricorn’s personnel along with restrictions on the use of insider information and the use of non-public information regarding a client. The Chief Compliance Officer is required to report issues that arise under the Code of Ethics with respect to Capricorn to Capricorn’s Board of Directors at least annually. Capricorn will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any investor or prospective investor upon request. B. Conflicts of Interest Related to Recommendations to Clients As noted elsewhere in the Form ADV Part 2A, clients invest in legal entities where Capricorn or an affiliate acts as general partner or investment manager or where Capricorn has another material financial interest. Technically, these are securities in which Capricorn has a material financial interest. As discussed in Item 10D, Capricorn may recommend that its clients invest in funds or vehicles managed by Third-Party Managers. Capricorn and its affiliates may have a conflict of interest recommending Third-Party Managers to clients in that Capricorn, its affiliates and Advisory Clients may have a financial interest (including but not limited to receipt of management fees, or incentive fees) that could create an incentive for Capricorn to recommend investments in Third-Party Managers over other, more suitable investments from which no such supplemental financial benefit is derived. Capricorn clients may be subject to additional layers of asset-based fees and performance-based fees or allocations in respect of investments managed by Third-Party Managers. As described in Item 5 above, Capricorn (or an affiliate or employee) may receive certain advisory fees, director’s fees, break-up fees or other ancillary fees in connection with portfolio investments of the Advisory Clients as compensation for financial advisory and/or other services provided by 20 such persons to the portfolio companies. Payment of such fees may create a conflict of interest because it could create an incentive for Capricorn (or an affiliate or employee) to choose portfolio investments for an advisory client based on whether the target portfolio companies will pay Capricorn (or an employee or affiliate) such ancillary fees as opposed to choosing portfolio investments on the basis of which target portfolio companies may be most suitable for an advisory client (based on its investment objectives, strategies and other appropriate factors). Capricorn will typically mitigate such potential conflicts of interest by directly or indirectly off-setting a portion or all of the transaction fees received by Capricorn (or an affiliate or employee) against the management fees payable by the Advisory Clients. For specific details regarding such fees and the management fee offset mechanism in effect for a particular advisory client, please refer to the advisory client’s governing documents. Capricorn further mitigates this conflict of interest by negotiating such fees at arm’s length with such portfolio ccompany and generally seeking to ensure that such fees are, in the good faith opinion of Capricorn, in accordance with prevailing market rates in the relevant industry. Capricorn does not take into consideration whether a portfolio company will pay Capricorn or its affiliate a services fee when making an investment determination. An executive officer of Capricorn has entered into two personal loan arrangements with an executive officer of a current Fund portfolio company. Both loans bear interest at market rates and were negotiated independently of the Fund’s investment in the portfolio company. As this is a personal loan arrangement, the interest is not offset against management fees paid for by the Fund. Such arrangements may create a conflict of interest because it could create an incentive for Capricorn (or an affiliate or employee) to make an investment on behalf of advisory clients, including follow-ons, due to this ongoing arrangement. Capricorn believes it mitigates the potential conflict by adhering to its investment policies and governing documents of its advisory clients, which requires that Capricorn make investment decisions in the best interest of its advisory clients, and requires employees to adhere to its Code of Ethics. Capricorn occasionally recommends the purchase or sale of securities or other investment products to clients, in which Capricorn, its clients, its affiliates, or other related persons have a financial interest as the investment manager, general partner, director, officer, trustee or as a co-investor (e.g. securities offered by Capricorn relying advisers). The financial interests of Capricorn or its related persons may create a conflict between the economic interests of these related persons and the interests of Capricorn’s clients. Additionally, Capricorn clients may be subject to additional layers of asset-based fees and performance-based fees or allocations in respect of investments managed by Capricorn relying advisers. As noted above, the Individual Client (through a trust and a limited liability company under his control) is a significant owner of Capricorn. The Individual Client is the sole member of Capricorn Management, the entity ultimately responsible for approving investments on behalf of the Individual Client recommended by Capricorn. As discussed below, Capricorn’s relationship with the Individual Client raises potential conflicts of interest with respect to the investments made by the Individual Client in the same securities invested in by clients of Capricorn. Because of differing investment objectives, portfolio size or other factors, Capricorn may recommend that the Individual Client take investment positions different from those taken by the Discretionary Clients including positions contrary to those held by the Discretionary Clients or senior or junior to those held by the Discretionary Clients. To the extent that the Discretionary Clients hold interests that are different (or more senior or junior) than those held by the Individual Client, Capricorn may be presented with decisions involving circumstances where the interests of the Individual Client are in conflict with those of the Discretionary Clients, including with respect 21 to the operation of a portfolio company, the targeted returns for the investment and the timeframe for and method of exiting the investment. Furthermore, it is possible that (in a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) the Discretionary Clients’ interests may be subordinated or otherwise adversely affected by virtue of such other vehicle’s involvement and actions relating to its investment. For example, a debt holder of a company may be better served by the company’s liquidation, in which case it may be paid in full, whereas the Discretionary Client may hold equity and prefer a reorganization that could create value for the Discretionary Client and other equity holders. Capricorn faces conflicts in determining whether and to what extent investment opportunities should be allocated between the Discretionary Clients and the Individual Client. Allocations may be subject to a significant degree of discretion exercised by Capricorn, including in connection with re-balancings, investing in new, different or additional investment strategies. Even allocations designed to mitigate conflicts do not eliminate the possibility that an allocation of assets will not adversely affect the Discretionary Clients. Capricorn’s management of the Discretionary Clients may benefit the Individual Client. For example, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Discretionary Clients may invest in the securities of companies in which the Individual Client has an equity, debt or other interest. The purchase, holding, and sale of such investments by the Discretionary Clients may enhance the profitability of the Individual Client’s investments in and activities with respect to such companies. The trading activities of the Individual Client, which will be carried out generally without reference to positions held by the Discretionary Clients, may have an effect on the value of the positions so held or may result in the Individual Client having an interest in an issuer adverse to that of the Discretionary Clients. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Discretionary Clients may invest, directly or indirectly, in investment entities in which the Individual Client has or subsequently makes an investment. The Individual Client may make portfolio investments even if doing so would reduce the size of the Discretionary Clients’ investment or prevent the Discretionary Clients from investing. Capricorn will allocate investment opportunities in its sole discretion and is not under any obligation to share any investment opportunity, idea or strategy with the Discretionary Clients, and may allocate a favorable investment opportunity to the Individual Client, or may allocate such investment opportunity to the Discretionary Clients only on different terms. In making an allocation, the investment objective of the Discretionary Clients may not be the dispositive factor; rather, Capricorn may consider, among other considerations, the available capital, risk tolerance and investment objectives and guidelines of each potential investor, the size of the portfolio investment, legal, tax and regulatory considerations, the availability of other investment opportunities and client relationships. Methods of allocating investment opportunities may change over time. The Discretionary Clients may invest in opportunities that have been declined by the Individual Client. Subject to applicable law, the Individual Client, Capricorn or their respective affiliates are not prohibited from, without limitation: (i) investing in Underlying Funds, portfolio companies or other principal investments for its own account or the account of third parties, (ii) engaging in transactions in connection with a decision by the Individual Client or Capricorn to enter into a new strategic business or businesses, (iii) from receiving fees or other compensation of any kind from any activity, including, without limitation, activities in which the interests of the Discretionary Clients may be different from or adverse to the interests of the Individual Client or third parties and (iv) from forming other investment vehicles. 22 The Discretionary Clients, on one hand, and the Individual Client, on the other hand, may compete with each other in identifying and making investments. In this regard, the Individual Client may have certain competitive advantages, including having more capital than the Discretionary Clients. As a result, the Discretionary Clients may be unable to make an investment or may pay a higher price for, or may agree to less favorable terms regarding, an investment. It should also be noted that just because an actual or potential conflict exists does not mean that Capricorn or the members, officers, directors and employees of Capricorn (including the Investment Team) will intentionally or inadvertently exploit such conflict to the detriment of any client or that any losses suffered by one client, but not another, are necessarily attributable to a conflict of interest. Capricorn seeks to mitigate conflicts by providing disclosure to the Advisory Clients and investors in the Private Fund Strategies about such affiliations and compensation where applicable, adherence to its policies and procedures including to the allocation policy, and adherence to the Code of Ethics. 23 ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES A. Brokerage 1. Research & Soft Dollar Benefits is not synonymous with the Private company securities are generally purchased in private placement transactions, without the assistance of a broker-dealer. However, Capricorn may distribute securities to Advisory Clients and investors in Private Fund Strategies or sell such securities, including through using a broker-dealer, if a public trading market exists. In addition, from time to time, Capricorn trades public securities for certain clients. In all cases where Capricorn is placing transactions in the public markets, Capricorn intends to select brokers based upon the broker’s ability to provide best execution for the client. “Best execution” refers to the duty to seek the best overall qualitative execution for a client in a particular circumstance. “Best execution” lowest brokerage commission. Consequently, it should clearly be noted that in a particular transaction the client may pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged for executing the same transaction. At this time, Capricorn does not engage in “soft dollar” arrangements with broker-dealers. Capricorn is generally authorized to make the following determinations, subject to each client’s investment objectives and restrictions, without obtaining prior consent from the relevant client: (1) which securities or other instruments to buy or sell; (2) the timing and total amount of securities or other instruments to buy or sell; (3) the executing broker or dealer for any transaction; and (4) the commission rates or commission equivalents charged for transactions. In assessing best execution, Capricorn considers, among other things, all or some of the following factors: (i) the broker’s execution capability, (ii) the commission rate charged by the broker, (iii) a broker’s past history of successful, prompt and reliable execution of client trades, and (iv) the financial strength and stability of the broker. 2. Brokerage for Client Referrals As noted above, on certain occasions an investment by a Capricorn client will require that Capricorn select a broker-dealer to execute a transaction. Although not presently done, Capricorn reserves the right in the future to select broker-dealers based upon Capricorn’s interest in receiving client referrals as opposed to simply seeking the most favorable execution (although Capricorn would still seek to obtain overall best execution). 3. Directed Brokerage Capricorn does not participate in directed brokerage arrangements. However, as noted above Capricorn typically utilizes a specific broker to execute portfolio transactions, when necessary, on behalf of a client. B. Aggregated Purchase or Sales of Securities Capricorn does not generally aggregate the purchase or sale of securities for various client accounts. At the present, the majority of the securities purchased for client accounts are interests in underlying funds and other private securities and Capricorn will not aggregate orders for investments in such funds as it is not permitted and would not provide any benefits to its clients. Please also see the conflicts noted in response to Item 11 above. 24 ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS A. Review of Client Accounts Capricorn monitors and reviews investor accounts on a periodic basis. The frequency of investor account reviews and reports varies by metric. Reviews and reports are prepared by Capricorn’s Portfolio Management and Operations teams. Asset allocations, exposure levels and upcoming trades are generally reviewed on a weekly basis for all investor accounts. Rebalancing trades are executed if deemed necessary. On a monthly basis, fair market values and performance metrics are reviewed by the Operations team. After review, a portfolio summary and capital statement are distributed to each investor. Several times a year, in-depth portfolio reviews, which include analyses pertaining to portfolio positioning, performance, attribution, risk, liquidity and other relevant metrics, are prepared by the Investment and Portfolio Management teams as a detailed update to and basis for discussion and planning with each investor. The LIBRA, TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, CIG LC, and SIF teams continually monitor the respective investment portfolios, and receive monthly, quarterly and/or annual financial and qualitative information from its portfolio companies. Each TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, CIG LC, and SIF investor receives a capital account statement on a quarterly basis. Upon request, Capricorn provides each investor with the information they need regarding their accounts. Additionally, Capricorn seeks to meet with each investor on an annual basis and perform an annual review of their overall portfolio. B. Frequency of Reports IHPs are audited at the end of each fiscal year by an independent certified public accountant. Capricorn will deliver to each investor audited financial statements of its IHP, including an income statement for the year then ended, a balance sheet as of the end of such year and a statement of changes to such investor’s capital account in its IHP. Such audited financial statements are to be delivered as promptly as practicable and in any event by the latter of (a) fifteen (15) days after receipt of the last audited report from the Partnership’s underlying investments or (b) one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of the IHP’s fiscal year. Capricorn will use its reasonable efforts to provide to each investor such other information related to the investor’s IHP and its investments, as is reasonably requested by such investor. Capricorn will furnish a Schedule K-1 to each investor as promptly as practicable after the close of the fiscal year. An Underlying Fund’s delay in providing a Schedule K-1 or other required information could delay Capricorn’s preparation of its information return and Schedule K-1’s. Delivery of the relevant information by an Underlying Fund will be subject to delay in the event of the late receipt of any necessary tax information from an entity in which the Underlying Fund holds an interest. Investors in the LIBRA Fund and the CIS LC Fund will receive annual audited financials. Schedule K-1’s will be provided as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the fiscal year of the LIBRA Funds and the CIS LC Fund. 25 Investors in TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, and SIF Funds will receive annual audited financials, as well as a quarterly position summary and capital statements. Schedule K-1’s will be provided as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the fiscal year of the Funds. As Capricorn cannot provide annual tax information until such information is received from the Underlying Funds, it is likely that, in any taxable year, annual tax information will not be provided by Capricorn until sometime after April 15. Consequently, it is anticipated that investors will need to apply for an extension of time to file tax returns. 26 ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Capricorn utilizes third parties (each a “Placement Agent”) for referral and placement services in the solicitation of clients and/or investors. Capricorn pays cash or a portion of the advisory fees paid by clients and/or investors referred to it by those placement agents. When Capricorn engages parties for any referral or solicitation activities, such activities will be conducted in a manner that is consistent with Rule 206(4)- 1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and relevant SEC guidance. Due to the agreements Capricorn has with placement agents, the placement agents have an incentive to recommend Capricorn, resulting in a material conflict of interest. 27 ITEM 15 – CUSTODY Capricorn is deemed to have custody of the assets of its clients (in its or its affiliates’ role as the general partner or investment manager of those entities). It should be noted that Capricorn will maintain the cash assets of discretionary clients and securities directly invested in by Capricorn clients (other than privately offered securities) in custodial accounts with a “qualified custodian” pursuant to Rule 206(4) -2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Quarterly account statements sent to investors in the Funds will be sent by Capricorn, not by any Qualified Custodian used by Capricorn. Investors in the Funds should carefully review those statements and compare those statements to the information contained in the audited financial statements prepared by an independent public accountant registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Finally, it should also be noted that in satisfaction of the requirements of Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-2, Capricorn will ensure that all investors in each Fund are provided with GAAP compliant audited financial statements for that Fund within 120 or 180 days of the end of the applicable Fund’s fiscal year. As stated above, investors should carefully review those annual audited financial statements. 28 ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION As noted above, Capricorn has discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of its Advisory Clients in Capricorn’s Discretionary Client Program, the Discretionary Legacy Client Program and the Private Fund Strategies. As noted elsewhere in this Form ADV Part 2A (in particular in Item 8 above), the investment strategy of the Advisory Clients is set forth in the operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts. Prospective investors are provided with an offering document, operative governing documents and/or advisory contracts, as applicable, prior to their investment and are encouraged to carefully review the documents and to be sure that the proposed investment is consistent with their investment goals and tolerance for risk. Prospective investors must also execute a subscription agreement, in which they make various representations, including representations regarding their suitability to invest in a high-risk investment pool. Similarly, the relying advisers have discretionary authority to manage their clients. 29 ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES Capricorn understands and appreciates the importance of proxy voting. To the extent that Capricorn has discretion to vote proxies on behalf of clients, Capricorn will vote any such proxies in the best interests of clients and in accordance with set compliance procedures. Capricorn votes any proxies related to underlying funds and portfolio companies. For proxies pertaining to publicly traded investments Capricorn utilizes a third-party provider, ISS, to vote such proxies. Capricorn has directed ISS to vote proxies in accordance with the ISS Socially Responsible Investing (“SRI”) policy. Occasionally, Capricorn may deviate from voting in line with the SRI policy if it believes that voting in another manner is in the best interest of the client or if there is a conflict of interest present. Proxies pertaining to underlying funds and portfolio companies are often related to proposed term changes to be made by such underlying funds or portfolio companies. Prior to voting proxies of this nature Capricorn’s Investment team and Chief Compliance Officer will determine if there are any conflicts of interest related to the underlying fund or portfolio company proxy in question. If a conflict is identified, the Investment team will then make a determination with the Chief Compliance Officer (which may be in consultation with the outside legal counsel or third-party compliance consultants) as to whether the conflict is material or not. If no material conflict is identified pursuant to its procedures, the Investment team and Chief Compliance Officer will make a decision on how to vote the proxy. LIBRA, TIF, TIGF, CIG DS, CIG LC, and SIF Funds vote all proxies pertaining to their respective portfolio companies. If you have any questions about Capricorn’s proxy policy, its proxy record-keeping procedures or if you would like any further information about how proxies are voted, please contact the Chief Compliance Officer, Alexandra Acosta via email at aacosta@capricornllc.com. 30 ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION Capricorn does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Capricorn has discretionary authority and custody of client funds and securities. Capricorn is not currently aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Capricorn has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. 31
