Item 4. Advisory Business
FLu
First Long Island Investors, LLC (“FLu”) is a boutique wealth management firm that
provides sophisticated money management services to high net worth clients.
is a
limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of New York and is registered
as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. FLII was
founded on a service ethic that puts clients at the center of everything we do. FLII traces
its origins back more than 40 years, when its principal owners, Robert D. Rosenthal
(Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Investment Officer) and Ralph F. Palleschi
(President and Chief Operating Officer and a member of FLII’s Investment Committee),
formally established FLII’s predecessor corporation in 1983.
FLII provides a broad range of investment and financial services to clients, such as
individuals (including high-net-worth individuals), corporations, pension and profit-sharing
plans, pooled investment vehicles, and charitable organizations. Our advice is designed
to provide clients with a long-term approach to wealth management that embodies a
prudent, individualized asset allocation. Our goal is the preservation and growth of each
client’s net worth.
We recommend that clients diversify their investments among assets, including (where
suitable) equities (in separately managed accounts and through partnerships), in bonds,
and in private investments. Equity investments include traditional equity investments and
more defensive or hedged equity investments.
Our principals invest side-by-side with our clients in every FLII strategy (other than fixed
income which is personalized for each client). Where a strategy is offered through
different investment vehicles, our principals invest in the vehicle suitable for them, but not
in every vehicle available.
We tailor our advice to client’s needs, and we only provide advice to clients where our
strategies are compatible with what we believe are the client’s needs. Clients may,
in
limited circumstances, place restrictions on our investments. We have accepted
restrictions where clients hold low basis stocks they do not want to sell.
FLII has affiliates that serve as the general partners of certain partnerships in which our
clients invest as limited partners.
We are also a multi-family family office and provide family office services to certain clients.
As of December 31, 2024, FLII managed $1,708,156,301 on a discretionary basis and
oversaw $437,463,867 in assets on which FLII does not have discretionary authority.

Item 5. Fees and Compensation
FLu is generally compensated for investment management services as follows:
(i)
Separately Managed Accounts:
If a client’s assets are held in a separately
managed brokerage account, the client is charged an annual advisory fee,
paid quarterly in advance (an ‘Advisory Fee”). (See below for a description
of fees payable with respect to each FL/I strategy.) These fees generally
are deducted from the client’s account but may be paid directly. We make
pro rata adjustments to the quarterly fee charged in the event a client makes
any contributions and/or withdrawals to the account on any day during that
quarter that in the aggregate equal or exceed 10% of the account’s value
measured as of the last day of the prior quarter. Such fee adjustments will
be added to or subtracted from the next quarter’s Advisory Fee.
(ii)
If a client’s assets are invested in a partnership,
(See Item “6”.)
Partnerships:
that
partnership generally pays an annual management fee quarterly in advance
(a “Management Fee”). A client’s assets invested in a partnership may also
be subject to an incentive allocation.
In addition, partners
bear their pro rata share of other partnership expenses.
(See the
subheading “Other Fees, Costs, and Expenses”below.) Management Fees
for partnerships are generally not negotiable.
FLII waives Advisory Fees and Management Fees for the accounts of its employees and
their immediate family members.
Fee Breakpoints for Related Clients
FLII may, in its sole discretion, aggregate the managed or overseen assets of clients who
are family members for the purpose of determining whether such clients meet certain fee
breakpoints. Fee breakpoints differ depending on the strategy, as discussed in more
detail below.
Other Fees, Costs, and Expenses
Our Advisory fees and Management fees are exclusive of, and in addition to, any fees,
costs and expenses charged by broker-dealers, custodians, and other third parties — all
of which will reduce client returns on their investments.
Custody Fees
Clients are not charged custody fees by broker-dealers we recommend to clients. A client
may choose to custody his or her assets at a custodian bank, which may charge custody
fees. The qualified custodians that custody assets of certain partnerships we manage
charge the partnerships custody fees. Certain of our clients use Pacific Premier Trust
(‘Pacific”), a self-directed IRA custodian,
to hold interests in partnerships in their
retirement accounts. Pacific is a division of Pacific Premier Bank. FLII negotiates the
fees that Pacific charges these clients.
5
Brokerage Fees; Expenses Charged by Different In vestment Vehicles
Clients bear the cost to trade securities held in their accounts or held by partnerships in
(See Item “12”, Brokerage Practices.) Each of the FLII partnerships
which they invest.
also bears certain partnership expenses described in the governing documents of such
partnerships including legal, accounting, audit and surprise exam fees as applicable.
Clients who invest in mutual funds bear the fees and expenses charged by those funds.
Fees Paid for Cash Management
Clients’ idle cash held at their custodian broker-dealers is generally invested in money
market funds via an automatic sweep account option or, from time to time and pursuant
in shares of certain higher yield money market funds
to consultations with a client,
In the latter case, FLll will
designed to invest in government money market instruments.
issue instructions to the custodian broker-dealer to invest in the securities of these money
market funds. All money market funds assess their own management fees. During those
periods when client funds are invested in money market funds, clients are paying fees to
FLII on the total amount of assets under management and to the investment manager of
the money market funds. To avoid potential conflicts of interest, FLII does not (a) retain
any of the interest earned by a client on any cash sweep or money market program or (b)
receive any separate compensation from, or participate in any revenue sharing
arrangements with, the custodian broker-dealers that offer such cash sweep and money
market options.
Separately Managed Accounts
In general, fees imposed on amounts invested in FLII-advised separately managed
accounts are structured as a percentage of assets managed within a particular strategy,
billed quarterly in advance, and subject to subsequent adjustment for contributions and
withdrawals as described above. FLll has, in certain cases, negotiated a flat fee for clients
who have substantial assets in accounts separately managed by FLII at the inception of
the relationship.

and 0.21 25% per quarter (0.85% per annum) on the next $1 million in that account.

Advisory fees for core accounts are negotiable for clients with FLII relationships in excess of $30 million.
Thus, a client that has $6 million in an FLII-managed Core account would typically pay
0.375% per quarter (1.5% per annum) on the first $5 million in that account and 0.3% per
quarter (1.2% per annum) on the next $1 million in that account.
Fixed In come
For Fixed Income accounts, fees are 0.4% annually (0.3% for amounts in excess of $2.5
million, and negotiable for clients with FLIt relationships in excess of $50 million).
Legacy Positions
For accounts managed with low-basis legacy positions, fees are generally 1.0% annually
or such lower fees as FLII may negotiate in its discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Other
Fees payable with respect to US Treasury obligations that may be (or previously were)
held in Core and Dividend Growth accounts for a client are generally equal to the fee
charged for Fixed Income accounts unless otherwise determined by FLII from time to time
in its discretion; provided, that such fee will not exceed the highest percentage agreed to
in the client’s investment advisory agreement.
Partnerships
FLII is entitled to receive annual Management Fees which are billed quarterly, in advance,
from various partnerships as described below.
FL! Select Equity Fund, L.P. (“FLISEF”), FL! Select Equity Fund I!, L.P. (“FLISEF
II”), and FL! Partners Fund, L.P. (“FLIP”)
Limited partners of FLISEF, FLISEF II, and FLIP each pay to FLII an annual Management
Fee of one percent (1.0%) of assets under management.
FL! Value Fund, L.P. (‘FLIV”)

Limited partners of FLIV who were admitted to the partnership after July 2008 pay to FLII
an annual Management Fee as follows:

*The annual Management Fee is also 0.50% if the limited partner has at least $15,000,000 of assets under
management at FLu via managed accounts, via partnerships where FLII serves as the management
company (and where an affiliate of FLII serves as general partner), or in strategies where an affiliate of FLII
acts as a solicitor.
The Management Fee for limited partners who invested in FLIV prior to September 1,
2008 is 0.50% per annum.
FL! Growth Fund, L.P. (“FLIG”)
Limited partners of FLIG pay to FLII an annual Management Fee as follows:

FLI Sterling Realty Finance, LP, FLI Sterling Realty Finance II, LP, and ELI Sterling Realty
Finance III, LP (each, an “FLI Sterling Fund” and collectively, the “FLI Sterling Funds”)

With respect to ELI Perosphere Fund, LP (“Perosphere”), FLII is entitled to receive a
quarterly fee of 0.25% of unreturned capital contributions for overhead expenses and
various services.
Each of the ELI partnerships also bears the fees, expenses and incentive allocation (if
any) of its underlying managers. However, FLIP and Perosphere do not invest through
any underlying managers.
8
If a limited partner is permitted to withdraw from an ELI partnership on a day other than
the last day of a fiscal quarter, a pro rata portion of the Management Fee will be allocated
or distributed to the withdrawing limited partner.
Other Fee Arrangements
FLII receives retainers relating to services rendered which encompass continuous advice
on investment, asset allocation, tax, estate planning, and other family office services. FLII
also is compensated with respect to assets managed by other investment managers as
described in Item “10” below.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Performance-Based Fees
In addition to Management Fees, the limited partners of certain partnerships are subject
to a form of performance-based compensation in which a percentage of the gains (or net
capital appreciation) in each limited partner’s capital account is reallocated to the general
partner of that partnership (the “Incentive Allocation”), as further described below.
FLISEF and FLISEF II
The amount of the Incentive Allocation reallocated to the general partners of FLISEF and
FLISEF II, respectively, is equal to fifteen percent (15%) per annum of any net capital
appreciation in excess of a non-cumulative threshold return rate that differs depending on
the date of initial investment in either partnership, as described below.
Threshold Annual Return Rates for ELISEE and FLISEF II

12%
Adjustments are made to account for intra-year withdrawals and capital contributions to
ensure that the amounts paid to the general partners of each fund are properly pro-rated.
FLIP
The amount of the Incentive Allocation reallocated to the capital account of the general
partner of FLIP is equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum of any net capital appreciation
allocated to a Limited Partner’s capital account, subject to a high water mark.
FLIV and FLIG
The Incentive Allocation calculation for FLIV and FLIG are the same. The amount of the
Incentive Allocation reallocated to the capital account of the general partners of FLIV and
FLIG, respectively, is equal to ten percent (10%) of the net capital appreciation allocated
to a limited partner’s capital account in excess of a non-cumulative annual rate of return
9
of seven percent (7%); provided, however, that the Incentive Allocation with respect to
any limited partner will never exceed 0.75% of the value of such limited partner’s capital
account at the beginning of the fiscal year for which such Incentive Allocation relates. For
FLIV and FLIG, adjustments are made to account for intra-year withdrawals and capital
contributions to ensure that the amounts paid to the general partner are properly pro
rated.
Perosphere
The General Partner of Perosphere is entitled to be allocated a 20% carried interest,
subject to a 6% per annum cumulative preferred return, compounded annually, and the
return of partners’ capital contributions.
Side-by-Side Management
In addition,
As noted above, affiliates of FLII receive an Incentive Allocation from partnerships that
FLII advises. FLII also charges Advisory Fees on separately managed accounts based
on a percentage of assets under management. As described in Item “5”, the Advisory
Fees charged to a client in separately managed accounts differ depending on a number

As a result of the differing fees and Incentive Allocations payable or allocable across

managed account can generate higher compensation to FLu depending on various
factors such as timing of investment and market conditions. FLII has a conflict of interest
in that there is an incentive to favor strategies that can generate higher compensation for
FLll or its affiliates (for example, where an Incentive Allocation is greater than an Advisory
Fee would generate, or vice versa). Another conflict exists where FLII or its affiliates are
entitled to receive performance-based compensation, since this form of compensation
creates an incentive for FLII to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree
of risk to clients.
investment
risk/return ratios,
As an example of a potential conflict, FLIP (an FLII partnership that provides for an
Incentive Allocation to its general partner) may purchase certain securities at about the
same time that the same securities are purchased by separately managed accounts that
charge an Advisory Fee. We address such a conflict by reviewing trades for FLIP versus
separately managed accounts that are charged an Advisory Fee to ensure that no pattern
exists to favor either FLIP or the Advisory Fee-paying accounts.
FLII has also
implemented policies and procedures to ensure that, whenever FLu determines that a
particular investment opportunity would be appropriate for more than one strategy, FLII
will seek to allocate such opportunity among client accounts in a manner that it deems
fair and equitable under the circumstances existing at such time, taking into account
restrictions,
various factors such as available capital,
liquidity, tax considerations, and overall portfolio composition of each client account.

Item 7. Types of Clients

investment vehicles,
and
We provide advice to individuals (including high-net-worth individuals), corporations,
pension and
pooled
charitable
organizations. Clients generally must have a minimum of $5,000,000 in assets under
management at the inception of the relationship.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Clients’ assets are generally invested in separately managed accounts or in partnerships.
Separately managed accounts invest in equities or fixed income and,
in rare cases
typically involving ‘legacy” or low-basis securities, options. Equities managed internally
are invested in what we call a “Core” strategy and a “Dividend Growth” strategy. The
assets of some clients are invested in separately managed accounts advised by an
outside investment manager.
The Core strategy is a traditional long-only equity investment strategy that generally holds
20-30 large-cap growth and value companies. Companies included in the portfolio are
identified by a sub-committee of our investment committee through internal and third-
party research, as well as insights from economic consultants, respected investment
managers, and SEC 13-F filings.
The Dividend Growth strategy generally holds 20-30 large-cap companies that are
diversified by industry, financially sound (based upon ratings by ratings providers and our
judgment), pay an average dividend of approximately 2.2% per year (as of the date of this
brochure), and have generally raised their dividends at least once in the last two years.
Our research is done internally using published research materials.
Bonds are purchased at the discretion of a fixed income subcommittee of our investment
committee based on guidelines established by the investment committee.
Some of our partnerships invest with or through other investment managers or funds of
funds. These partnerships will divide their assets into separate portfolios, each of which
is principally invested in managed accounts advised by other investment managers
pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and traded in accordance with that
investment manager’s proprietary investment strategy. We evaluate all
investment
managers that our partnerships invest with. When our partnerships invest in funds of
funds, we vet the fund of funds manager and review its underlying managers. (See Item
“10” regarding strategies managed by third parties to which clients are referred.)
Our internally managed partnership, FLIP, invests in large and mid-cap growth stocks and
sells calls on these positions. Companies included in the portfolio are identified by a sub
committee of our investment committee through internal and third-party research, as well
as insights from economic consultants, respected investment managers, and SEC filings.
Perosphere was formed to invest in a single private company.

Risk of Loss

successful, and investment results may vary substantially over time.
Investment
losses may occur from time to time and an investor could lose all or a substantial
amount of his or her investment. A partnership’s investment methodology should

limited liquidity since partnership interests are not freely transferable and limited

Therefore, partnership interests should only be acquired by investors able to
commit their funds for an extended period of time.
• None of our partnerships are registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and thus are not subject to the
same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.
In addition, partnership interests
will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

• Subject to applicable law, each partnership’s operative documents contain broad
indemnification provisions that require the partnership to indemnify the general
partner, the management company and others harmless from any losses or costs
incurred by them under certain circumstances.
• The incentive allocation made to the general partner of investment partnerships
may create an incentive for FLu to make partnership investments that are riskier
than it would otherwise make, and the expenses, fees and incentive allocation
reduce partners’ returns.
• The general partner of each partnership or an affiliated entity is the general partner
of other affiliated investment funds and is not restricted by any partnership’s limited
partnership agreement from forming additional investment funds, from entering
into investment advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities,
even though such activities may be in competition with the partnership and/or may
involve substantial time and resources of the general partner or its affiliates and its
principals.

Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Neither FLII, nor its employees, have legal or disciplinary events that are material to a
client’s or a prospective client’s evaluation of our business or the integrity of our
management.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
ELI Investors, LLC (“FLI”), which is an affiliate of FLII, is registered with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer. Certain ELII employees are registered in
13
capacities
(principals,
financial
and
operations
principals,
registered
various
representatives, etc.) under this registration. FLII and FLI do not custody securities (but
see Item “15” below) and do not execute securities trades for clients.
Kudu Investment Management, LLC (“Kudu”), a registered investment adviser, has made
a strategic investment in FLII and certain of its affiliates through Kudu Investment US,
LLC, a Kudu affiliate. Although this could be deemed a material conflict of interest, FLII
believes that any potential conflict is mitigated by the fact that Kudu does not have any
input or influence on the management of FLII or its affiliates or the advisory services
provided to clients of FLII.
in a managed account or a
From time to time, FLI refers certain clients to invest
partnership or similar investment vehicle managed by other registered investment
advisers. The fees our clients pay to such managers (and/or the carried interest
attributable to our clients that such managers or their affiliates receive) are not higher
than they would otherwise be because of these relationships. ELI
is compensated for
such referrals pursuant
to agreements that conform to applicable law, and such
compensation arrangements are disclosed in writing to the prospective referral client. We
believe this disclosure addresses any conflicts created by these referral arrangements.
The agreements in place today are described below.
FLII has entered into agreements with W.P. Stewart & Co., Ltd., which was subsequently
acquired by AllianceBernstein (“AB”) (a registered investment adviser), whereby FLII and
AB share in the responsibility and fees for investment services provided to clients referred
to AB by ELII. The share of fees allocated to FLII is 33.3%. No brokerage commissions
are paid to FLII by such client’s accounts. FLII also receives an annual fee equal to 33.3%
of the fee paid to AB on assets under management to service accounts referred to AB by
FLu’s predecessor registrant, whose business AB acquired.
FLII entered into an
agreement with W.P. Stewart & Co., Inc. (“WPS Inc.”), a registered investment adviser,
subsequently assigned to WPS Inc.’s affiliate, AllianceBernstein L.P. (“ABLP”) whereby
FLII
is paid 25% of the fees paid to ABLP attributable to assets referred by FLII
to
AllianceBernstein Concentrated Growth Fund. This agreement is not in effect for new
referrals.
FLI has entered into agreements with Sterling Stamos Capital Management, L.P. (“SP”)
and Sterling Stamos Associates, L.L.C. (“SSP”) (affiliates of Sterling Stamos) whereby
ELI is paid 40% of the fees paid to SP by limited partners referred to partnerships of which
SP or an affiliate is the management company, including FLI SS Private Equity Fund I,
L.P., and ELI SS Real Assets Fund, L.P. A partnership in which an affiliate of FLII is the
general partner also receives 40% of any incentive allocations received by SSP
attributable to such limited partners.
ELI has entered into an agreement with Sandalwood Securities,
Inc. (“Sandalwood”)
whereby ELI is paid 33 1/3% of the total of the fees and expenses paid to Sandalwood by
to partnerships of which Sandalwood is investment
limited partners referred by ELI

III LP
ELI does not have any material relationship with any insurance company, agency or real
estate broker. ELI is licensed as an insurance agent with the New York Department of
Financial Services by and through two individual sublicensees who also are registered
representatives of ELI. ELI may earn fees in connection with such business from clients,
and we disclose that we are acting as an agent in such business to any client where we
are compensated for doing such business.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
is committed to conducting business in accordance with all applicable laws and
ELII
regulations and in an ethical and professional manner.
In addition, ELII has a fiduciary
duty to its clients and recognizes that all employees must conduct their business in a
manner that enables us to fulfill this fiduciary duty. Accordingly, we have adopted a code
of ethics that establishes the standard of business conduct that all employees must follow
and is premised on fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust. Our
employees must comply with federal securities laws, they must report their personal
securities transactions to us for review, and they must report any violations of our code
of ethics promptly to our chief compliance officer.
15
Our employees may buy and sell the same securities as our clients at or about the same
time as our clients. A conflict of interest exists in such cases, because we have the ability
to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you receive. To
mitigate this conflict, we have adopted a general policy that prohibits our employees from
(a) trading in securities of any company about which such employee possesses material
non-public information or (b) knowingly and intentionally receiving a more favorable
execution price on a personal securities transaction than the execution price received by
a client. We review employees’ personal trades quarterly to ensure that our employees
are not engaged in a pattern of trading in anticipation of client trading.
In addition, and as noted above, we recommend that certain clients invest in partnerships
is the general partner, and we are compensated by those
where an affiliate of FLII
partnerships. Our officers and employees also invest in these partnerships. We believe
that the partnership structure provides a vehicle that enables clients to obtain access to
investment managers that they may not be able to otherwise obtain. Nonetheless, there
are various potential conflicts of interest relating to partnership investments, particularly
with respect to compensation. We address this conflict by disclosing the costs of investing
in a partnership, including our compensation, in any partnership that we recommend to
in the offering memoranda and related offering materials pursuant to which
clients,
interests in these partnerships are offered.
Our code of ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
From time to time, FLII may agree to pay a broker-dealer commissions for effecting client
transactions in excess of that which another broker-dealer might have charged for
effecting the transaction in recognition of the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by the broker-dealer. Accordingly, FLII may be deemed to be paying
for research and other services with “soft” or commission dollars. FLII (or the relevant
account’s portfolio manager) will effect such transactions, and receive such brokerage
and research services, that are of benefit to the accounts.
Currently, FLII effects such transactions, and receives such brokerage and research
services, only to the extent that they fall within the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
UBS Financial Services Inc. (‘UBS”) provides FLII with quotation (NYSE and options price
reporting) and news services (Bloomberg Finance L.P. and FactSet Research Systems
Inc.). Research services furnished by UBS are generally used in servicing all of FLII’s
accounts, although not all such services may be used in connection with any particular
client account, and not all accounts that benefit from such services pay commissions to
UBS. Clients whose brokerage is directed to UBS are paying for soft dollar research that
FLII uses to benefit all of its advisory accounts.
Using client commissions to obtain research and services provides a benefit to FLII as
In addition, we have an
we do not have to directly pay for such research and services.
16
incentive to select or recommend the broker we use for trades in client accounts based
on our interest in receiving the research and services, rather than on our clients receiving
the cheapest or most favorable executions.
We have negotiated with UBS an agreement where our clients pay commissions of four
cents ($.04) per share on equity trades, and two cents ($.02) per share on option
contracts.
FLu bunches trades for clients (which can include the First Long Island Investors LLC
401K Profit Sharing Plan and accounts of FLu officers and employees) whose brokerage
is directed to UBS. Such practice results in all clients whose trades are executed at the
same time receiving the same price, and has no effect on commissions. Prices are
averaged which may result in clients receiving a higher or lower price than clients would
receive if trades were done individually. FLu believes that, over time, bunching trades is
beneficial to clients.
The brother of the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of FLu
is Senior Vice President — Wealth Management at UBS and services the accounts of
clients of FLu. Because non-client directed brokerage is directed to UBS, commission
rates on trades are not individually negotiated, which may result in clients paying a higher
commission on a specific trade than they might otherwise pay except as described above.
FLu may pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have
charged for effecting the same transaction, in recognition of the value of research services
provided by the broker.
We believe it
is more efficient for us and clients to open accounts for clients at one
brokerage firm. This reduces the amount of paper received by clients and us and
facilitates our placing block trades. Accordingly, we negotiated the commission rates
discussed above in this item and the agreement to provide research and services to us
with one brokerage firm.
We permit clients to direct brokerage. Clients who direct brokerage to specific broker-
dealers may not receive best price and execution, since under such circumstances, FLII
will not be able to bunch such trades with its other trades (which possibly reduce
transaction costs), and such trades will be placed after FLu causes its other trades to be
executed, and we will not be able to negotiate commissions on those clients’ behalves.
Directing brokerage may cost clients more than not directing brokerage.
ELlis traders may on occasion experience errors with respect to trades made on our
clients’ behalf. There are various types of trade errors including, but not limited to: (a) the
wrong security being purchased or sold for an account, (b) the wrong quantity of securities
being purchased or sold for an account, (c) pricing errors, (d) timing errors involving the
purchase or sale of securities, and (e) trading in the wrong account. FLII endeavors to
detect trade errors prior to settlement and correct them in an expeditious manner. FLu’s
traders review trading records. When a possible trade error is detected, the traders will
notify appropriate personnel, and they will review the applicable trade to determine if in
17
fact an error did occur, the cause of the error, the effect of the error, and whether or not
the error can be corrected prior to settlement.
FLII will reimburse clients for net losses resulting from trade errors to the extent that FLu

clients, in damages or otherwise, for a trade error, unless such trade error results from
FL1I’s gross negligence, misconduct, or violation of applicable laws.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
All securities transactions are reviewed for investment advisory clients to reconcile FLII’s
FLII’s Investment
records with the applicable custodian’s records on a daily basis.
Committee reviews all client asset allocations to confirm that the accounts are invested
in accordance with the client’s needs and directions to FLII on a quarterly basis.
We provide clients a statement of assets managed on either a quarterly or monthly basis.
These statements provide a summary of the investments we oversee for each client listed
by asset class, and show the investment’s value for the current and previous period.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
FLIt shares with certain persons Advisory Fees we receive from referred clients. These
to written agreements in
arrangements are disclosed to clients and are pursuant
accordance with applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The fees
charged to such clients are not affected by such arrangements, nor are such clients
charged any other fees on account of such arrangements.
ELI also refers, from time to time, certain clients to invest in a managed account or
partnership or similar investment vehicle managed by another registered investment
adviser. (See Item “10” for more information.) As ELI is compensated for such referrals,
it discloses (in writing) the arrangement to the prospective referral client in accordance
with applicable SEC and FINRA rules. This causes a conflict of interest because ELI is
compensated for referring assets to others. However, ELI addresses this conflict by
making the written disclosure discussed above.
Item 15. Custody
Although we do not have custody of clients’ assets in the common meaning of “custody”,
we are deemed to have custody of client funds or securities with respect to assets in
partnerships where we are general partner (or where we have a similar role or where an
In these instances, clients either (1) annually receive
affiliate is general partner or similar).
an audited financial statement of the partnership or (2) the partnership deposits its liquid
assets and indicia of ownership of its underlying assets with a qualified custodian who
sends statements to partners on at least a quarterly basis.
In the latter case, a surprise
examination of the partnership’s assets is conducted on an annual basis by an accountant
registered with, and subject to inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board.
18
FLII’s clients receive a quarterly or monthly statement of assets that lists the values of
their investments (including those held in partnerships). Because the assets reported by
the custodian represent the partnership’s assets, and not an individual partner’s assets,
reports of an individual client’s holdings will not be the same as the custodian’s statements
of the partnership’s holdings.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
We have discretion with respect to all assets we manage.
If the assets are invested in a
pooled vehicle, the actual management of the assets may be delegated to another entity
or entities.
We generally do not accept restrictions on our investment discretion.
In isolated cases,
we have accepted investment restrictions with respect to low basis stock or from an
employee of an accounting firm that restricts investments of its employees.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
We have authority to vote clients’ securities (except where another investment manager
oversees assets, in which case such manager has authority to vote clients’ securities).
If
a client wishes to vote proxies for assets held in a separately managed account on his or
her own behalf, the client may so advise us at any time and we will arrange for direct
voting by the client.
If a conflict of interest were to exist between us and clients, we will disclose to clients the
substance of our interest in the issue and seek from our clients written direction on how
to vote on that issue.
If we do not timely receive written direction, we will resolve the
conflict by voting securities as recommended by the issuer’s management.
Clients may request from us information on how we voted their securities and a copy of
our proxy voting policies and procedures upon request to Senior Vice President — General
Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, either at our main phone number (516-935-1200)
or via email to jonathan(äfliinvestors.com.
Item 18. Financial Information
We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1 ,200 in fees per client, six months
or more in advance.
There are no financial conditions that are reasonably likely to impair ELlIs ability to meet
its contractual commitments to clients.
FLII has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten
years.
