ITEM 4. ADVISORY BUSINESS
Jordan Park Group LLC (“Jordan Park” or the “Firm”) provides investment and financial advisory services
to a distinct community of primarily high net worth individuals, families, and their related entities,
including trusts and estates, as well as charitable organizations, foundations, donor-advised funds, and
other clients.
The Firm, which is privately held, was founded in 2017 and is principally owned by our Chief Executive
Officer, Frank Ghali, through Jordan Park Holding Company LLC and his related estate planning entities.
The Firm is under common ownership with an affiliated trust company, Jordan Park Trust Company LLC
(“JPTC”), based in New Hampshire, and an affiliated broker-dealer, JP Portsmouth Capital LLC (“JPPC”),
based in New York. At the end of 2024, there were 137 employees at Jordan Park across three offices in
San Francisco, California, New York, New York, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Jordan Park provides
the following advisory services, among other services, to clients, in each case pursuant to written
agreements (collectively, a “Client Agreement”) executed by both Jordan Park and the client.
Investment and Financial Advisory Services. Jordan Park manages and oversees the investment of client
assets primarily on a discretionary basis (“Managed Assets”).
As part of the advisory relationship and investment process, Jordan Park works with each client to assess
its unique financial situation and to develop and maintain a customized Investment Policy Statement
(“IPS”) that reflects the client’s overall investment objectives and constraints. The IPS is updated
periodically and facilitates investment planning and the implementation of a client’s portfolio based on
the client’s specific investment guidelines and restrictions, risk objectives, liquidity considerations, and/or
any unique investment goals, such as environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors or restrictions
and impact considerations.
Using each client’s IPS, Jordan Park develops a strategic and comprehensive asset allocation and invests
the client’s Managed Assets across a spectrum of investment strategies in one or more of the following
ways: (i) through a portfolio of separate accounts sub-advised by third-party investment advisers
(“Separate Accounts”), (ii) directly in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and other investments
including pooled investment vehicles managed by third-parties (“Direct Investment Accounts”), and/or
(iii) directly in pooled investment vehicles sponsored and managed by Jordan Park (“Access Vehicles”, and
together with Separate Accounts and Direct Investment Accounts, the client’s “Portfolio”). Using these
strategies, Jordan Park can customize each Portfolio to meet a client’s particular needs. The Firm also
provides advice concerning diversification strategies and other advisory services to certain clients
regarding assets that are not Managed Assets, such as concentrated equity or substantial real estate
assets holdings, if such services are included in the Client Agreement.
As part of the investment advisory services, the Firm also selects sub-advisors on behalf of clients to
manage portions of their Managed Assets through Separate Accounts, in each case pursuant to the terms
and conditions of an agreement with the relevant sub-advisor which will generally include the delegation
of investment discretion to the sub-advisor. For Access Vehicles, the Firm selects the underlying
investments, either in a fund managed by another advisor or in direct investments or co-investments with
managers or portfolio companies. Where appropriate, Jordan Park, or a third-party engaged by Jordan
Park, conducts initial due diligence on, and monitors on a periodic basis, such sub-advisors, managers, and
other investments. Jordan Park typically negotiates the fees to be paid by clients or by the Access Vehicles.
4
Jordan Park also provides consolidated performance reporting for the Managed Assets of our clients, and
in some cases, develops customized reporting to include other assets not managed by Jordan Park. If a
client has requested that Jordan Park collect data to provide reporting on non-Managed Assets, Jordan
Park will charge a technology fee, as further detailed in Item 5.
Capital Markets Services. Jordan Park provides advice to certain clients with respect to strategies relating
to equity and debt capital markets. Jordan Park will also refer clients to either JPTC or JPPC for specific
client engagements depending on a client’s needs, which can include single stock advisory services or
consulting services relating to private or public equity or debt security transactions, among other services.
Clients will enter into a separate agreement with either JPTC or JPPC for such services.
Family Office Services. Upon request, Jordan Park will provide a range of family office services customized
to serve the needs of its clients, including broad-based balance sheet and cash flow analysis; cash flow
and capital budgeting and forecasting; reporting; income tax planning analysis and coordination with
clients’ tax advisors; wealth transfer and related gift and estate tax planning analysis and coordination
with clients’ estate advisors; philanthropy and charitable gift strategy and planning; insurance policy
review and analysis; payment processing (including bill pay); support in acquiring and disposing of major
assets; advice regarding management and retention of employees and other service providers; and other
services typically undertaken by family offices on behalf of their clients.
Jordan Park will deliver these services after consultation with the client and in partnership and
coordination with the client’s existing outside advisors, including legal counsel, accounting professionals,
estate planning professionals, insurance providers, philanthropic advisors, and family office staff (or, in
their absence, advisors recommended by Jordan Park and selected by the client). In some cases, some of
these services are provided by third-party service providers engaged by Jordan Park. If requested by a
client and agreed to by Jordan Park, family office services can be provided with respect to client assets
and liabilities beyond Jordan Park’s Managed Assets, regardless of custodian or asset manager, or in some
cases are offered to clients who do not have Managed Assets with Jordan Park.
Clients may also choose to appoint JPTC to serve as trustee of their trust entities in accordance with a
separate agreement with JPTC.
IRA Rollover Recommendations. For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction
is providing the following
Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02"), when applicable, Jordan Park
acknowledgment to clients. When the Firm provides investment advice to clients regarding their
retirement plan account or individual retirement account, Jordan Park is a fiduciary within the meaning
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way the Firm makes money creates some
conflicts with client interests. Jordan Park operates under an exemption that requires the Firm to act in
the clients’ best interest and not put the Firm’s or its employees’ interest ahead of the clients. Under this
exemption, Jordan Park must:
• meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• not put the Firm’s or its employees’ financial interests ahead of the clients when making
recommendations (give loyal advice);
• avoid making misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
5
•
follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that the Firm and its employees give advice
that is in the clients’ best interest;
charge no more than is reasonable for services; and
•
• give the clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Jordan Park benefits financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement account to an
account that the Firm manages or provides investment advice, because the assets increase the Firm’s
assets under management and, in turn, its Advisory Fees (as defined below). As a fiduciary, Jordan Park
only recommends a rollover when the Firm and its employees believe it is in the clients’ best interest.
Clients are given an opportunity to review the Firm’s recommendations with respect to a rollover and are
required to sign a written acknowledgement.
ESG and Impact Investing and Advising. Jordan Park provides a range of services related to ESG and
impact investing, as well as guidance and advice regarding philanthropy strategy and non-profit
management. ESG and impact considerations are integrated into the overall investment due diligence and
selection process across Jordan Park’s investment activities by considering ESG and impact factors
alongside non-ESG or impact factors. Clients have the ability to indicate their preference for ESG and
impact Investing in their IPS. For clients who indicate a preference for ESG and impact Investing, the Firm
will allocate a client’s Portfolio into available investment opportunities that have either an ESG or impact
investment objective and are consistent with the client’s financial goals. ESG and impact reporting is also
available to clients upon request which provides an analysis and assessment of the ESG and impact
characteristics in the client’s Portfolio. Other impact advisory services include education and guidance,
strategy and activation, and the facilitation of partnerships and community. In addition, these services
may include support specific to philanthropy such as budgeting and planning, entity and grantmaking
facilitation, and philanthropic reporting.
Assets Not Advised by Jordan Park. At times, clients request Jordan Park to transact in and/or oversee
certain securities or other assets that Jordan Park does not advise on. If deemed appropriate based on
the client’s individual needs and circumstances, Jordan Park will agree to provide such services and will
also consider the impact of such securities or other assets in its overall asset allocation recommendations.
However, Jordan Park is not obligated to provide investment advice on such securities or other assets for
which it does not regularly provide investment advisory services or on non-advised assets.
Wrap Fee Programs. The Firm does not participate in nor sponsor wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management. As of December 31, 2024, the Firm had approximately $18.1 billion in assets
under management, the majority of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
ITEM 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION
Generally, clients will pay Jordan Park an annual percentage fee based on the value of the Managed Assets
in the client’s Portfolio. Clients will also bear underlying investment costs and, depending on the
investments and services selected, fees and expenses charged by other financial institutions and third
parties, such as sub-advisors, other expenses charged by Jordan Park and/or its affiliates, and fees and
expenses of Access Vehicles including, as applicable, fund management fees, performance-based
incentive compensation (“Incentive Fees”), and fund accounting and operations fees. Detailed
6
information about Jordan Park’s compensation structure and other costs, fees and expenses a client may
incur is provided below. Clients may request additional information at any time as to their client-specific
costs, fees and expenses.
Investment Advisory Fees. In exchange for its investment and financial advisory services, the Firm typically
charges a tiered annual percentage fee based on the total value of a client’s Managed Assets, and the
blended annual percentage fee typically ranges from 0.30% to 0.75% (“Advisory Fee”). The Advisory Fee
rate is generally lower for clients with higher amounts of assets under management and certain charitable
organizations but can be higher if additional family office services are, or are expected to be, provided by
Jordan Park. In addition, Jordan Park has negotiated, and will do so in the future, Advisory Fees with
certain clients based on factors unique to each such client, including a client’s needs, nature and
complexity of the services to be performed, and the size and types of assets. Advisory Fees charged by
Jordan Park are detailed in each Client Agreement. Jordan Park waives all Advisory Fees for its employees
and their respective family members who enter into a Client Agreement with Jordan Park for investment
advisory services.
Access Vehicles Fees and Expenses. Typically, each Access Vehicle is charged a management fee, paid to
Jordan Park, as outlined in the governing documents of the Access Vehicle. In addition, as described in
more detail in Item 6, certain Access Vehicles incur an Incentive Fee payable to Jordan Park.
Access Vehicle investors are responsible for their share of the costs, expenses, and liabilities relating to
their investment in the Access Vehicles, as authorized under the governing documents of the Access
Vehicles. This includes a pro-rata portion of any fees and expenses charged or borne by the Access
Vehicles, such as management fees and Incentive Fees, fees and expenses of the underlying investments
of the Access Vehicles, as well as expenses incurred in connection with the organization, offering,
operation, administration, regulation, taxation, dissolution, liquidation, and termination of such Access
Vehicles; and expenses related to the research, evaluation, due diligence, negotiation, consummation,
management, valuation and disposition of investments and investment-related travel expenses
(including, as applicable, those expenses that relate to investments that are not consummated) of such
Access Vehicles. Certain Access Vehicles charge a fund accounting and operations fee, details about which
are described in the fund documents.
With respect to certain Access Vehicles, Jordan Park has agreed to waive 50% of the fund management
fees for investors who are clients that pay Jordan Park Advisory Fees. In other words, clients pay half of
the standard fund management fee to these Access Vehicles, and a client’s Advisory Fee applied to the
Managed Assets includes the value of the investments in these and other Access Vehicles as determined
according to the governing documents of the Access Vehicles. Under prior arrangements already in place
with clients invested in closed-end Access Vehicles, or if otherwise agreed with a client or investor, Jordan
Park is waiving 100% of the Access Vehicle fund management fees. If the advisory relationship between a
client and Jordan Park ends and a client is no longer paying an Advisory Fee, unless Jordan Park agrees to
a different arrangement, the client will begin paying 100% of the fund management fees otherwise
chargeable by the applicable Access Vehicle(s) if they remain an investor in an Access Vehicle.
Unlike the fund management fee, the Incentive Fee is not waived for clients and is in addition to the
Advisory Fee, fund management fees, and all other fees, costs and expenses, as applicable. In some cases,
7
the Incentive Fee is earned only after a performance hurdle or preferred return is achieved, while some
Access Vehicles have no performance hurdle or preferred return. The Firm does not earn Incentive Fees
on Managed Assets that are not invested in the Access Vehicles. Jordan Park waives all fund management
fees, Incentive Fees, and fund accounting and operations fees for its employees and their respective family
members who invest in Access Vehicles.
Underlying Investment Fees and Expenses of Financial Institutions and Other Third Parties. Managed
Assets also bear the economic effect of any fees (including management and, if applicable, Incentive Fees
of third-party sub-advisors and managers) and expenses (including brokerage fees and/or commissions,
trading fees and expenses, shareholder fees, private fund expenses, currency hedging costs, interest
expenses, custodial fees, bank charges, commitment fees and other fees and amounts payable in
connection with borrowing) of the Portfolio’s underlying investments, including investments made by the
Access Vehicles, if any. Such fees and expenses are associated with a variety of investments, including
publicly traded securities, such as stocks and ETFs, mutual funds (including money market funds), and
other financial instruments, such as derivatives; fixed income securities; real assets; asset-backed
securities or other structured debt or equity investment products; assets in “qualified opportunity zones”
(“QOZ”); private funds managed by a third-party manager (a “Third-Party Manager”) or by Jordan Park or
an affiliate of Jordan Park, such as venture capital funds, private equity funds, absolute return funds, real
asset funds, hedge funds, and other types of pooled investment vehicles; direct investments, co-
investments, and “secondary” investments (collectively, the “Portfolio Investments”). Please refer to Item
12 for additional information about our brokerage practices.
Fees for Additional Services. Jordan Park can charge fees for other services requested by the client (e.g.,
reporting on non-Managed Assets, Family Office services, and consultative services on non-advised
assets), as described in Item 4. For instance, if a client has requested that Jordan Park collect data to
provide reporting on non-Managed Assets, Jordan Park will charge a technology fee according to the fee
outlined in the Client Agreement for the use of a third-party software and data aggregation platform.
Clients who do not need reporting on non-Managed Assets are not required to use the third-party
resources available through Jordan Park to administer or report on non-Managed Assets. There are certain
non-Managed Assets, such as real assets or assets that do not have cash flow activities, that are reflected
in the third-party software and data aggregation platform and included in client reports without incurring
the technology fee. In addition, Jordan Park has, and will do so in the future, reduced or waived the
technology fees for certain clients based on factors unique to each such client, including the nature and
complexity of the non-Managed Assets included in the reporting. Jordan Park also charges some clients
fees for certain family office services, the amount of which varies depending on the services provided and
the experience of the team member(s) providing the services. Any such additional services and fees for
such will be agreed upon with the client through the Client Agreement.
Calculation and Payment of Fees. The Advisory Fees and fees for additional services are typically deducted
from a client’s Portfolio, either (i) directly from clients’ accounts by Jordan Park; (ii) directly from clients’
accounts by a third-party (such as a sub-advisor), (iii) directly from clients’ accounts by Jordan Park and
remitted to a third-party, or (iv) charged to the clients’ interest in the Access Vehicles. In certain
circumstances, clients are invoiced for all or a portion of the client’s fees and expenses. The consent for
deduction of fees is contained in the Client Agreements or the agreements with the third parties involved.
Clients’ custodians deliver periodic (at least quarterly) account statements directly to clients. The
statements include all transactions that took place in the account during the period covered by the
8
statement and reflect any fees deducted directly from the account. Clients are advised to review the fees
charged to their account(s) to fully understand the total amount of all fees charged. Fund management
fees charged directly to an investor’s interest in an Access Vehicle would be reflected in the quarterly
capital statement provided to all investors in the Access Vehicle.
Advisory Fees are paid quarterly in arrears, based on the value of the average daily balance of the
Managed Assets in a client’s Portfolio (“Average Daily Balance”) over the prior quarter. The Average Daily
Balance for the Firm’s Advisory Fee calculation is equal to the sum of (i) the average daily market value
balance of liquid investments including derivatives; (ii) the average daily target notional balance of
derivative overlay strategies (other Managed Assets held as collateral for such strategies separately are
included in the calculation of the Average Daily Balance pursuant to clause (i)); and (iii) the average daily
net asset value (“NAV”) (or such other value (“Other Value”) as described in the governing documents of
applicable Access Vehicles) of all other investments. The governing documents of an Access Vehicle will
describe the calculation methodology of the value to be used for purposes of calculating the Average Daily
Balance assigned to the Access Vehicle, which may be different than NAV. Fees for additional services are
paid based on the calculation methodology described in the relevant Client Agreement.
Valuation of Managed Assets: For liquid investments, including derivatives, held in Separate Accounts or
Direct Investment Accounts, market values are provided by the relevant custodian of a client’s Managed
Assets and shared through a data feed to Jordan Park’s third-party reporting system which is used for fee
billing and valuation purposes. For client investments in Access Vehicles, Jordan Park or the administrator
to the Access Vehicles calculates the NAV or Other Value of the Access Vehicles, generally based on
valuations provided to us or the administrator by third parties, including investment advisers unaffiliated
with Jordan Park, administrators to private investment vehicles, and third-party valuation agents. In
certain circumstances, primarily involving direct investments in private companies or other closely held
securities that are not actively traded on a public market, Jordan Park will assess the fair value of such
securities in accordance with the Firm’s valuation policies and procedures. Investments in private
companies and certain real estate development assets will generally be valued at the cost of the
investment for some period of time, including during the construction phase for real estate development
assets, but in any event will be assessed at least annually based on the Firm’s valuation policies and
procedures. In the absence of a new NAV or Other Value, the NAV or Other Value of such investments will
remain the same from day to day, and over longer periods of time in the case of illiquid investments.
The values assigned to an Access Vehicle’s assets and the determination of the NAV or Other Value of the
Access Vehicle affect fundamentally whether an Access Vehicle is deemed to have experienced a profit or
a loss for a particular period and other economic attributes of the Access Vehicle. Advisory Fees, fund
management fees, Incentive Fees, the amounts to which investors are entitled to receive upon
withdrawal, and the impact of new capital contributions and withdrawals on profit and loss participation
depend on valuations of an Access Vehicle’s assets and liabilities. Because valuations of non-marketable
assets generally involve significant professional judgment in the application of both observable and
unobservable attributes, the values of an Access Vehicle’s non-marketable assets as of any measurement
date could differ significantly from their future fair market values or their actual values at realization.
An Access Vehicle’s assets will consist predominantly of its interests in the Portfolio Investments, the
underlying assets of which are valued by their respective manager or portfolio managers or their affiliates
or designees. A Portfolio Investment will not necessarily engage an independent valuation agent to value
9
its investments or underlying assets and could therefore be entirely reliant upon the manager or the
portfolio manager or its affiliates or designees for the valuation of the Portfolio Investment. In such a case,
the manager or portfolio manager and their affiliates or designees have an inherent conflict of interest in
valuing the Portfolio Investment, as the fund management fees and, if applicable, Incentive Fees to be
received by a manager or portfolio manager and/or its affiliates generally will be calculated based upon
the value of the Portfolio Investment.
To the extent that Jordan Park is involved in the valuation of an Access Vehicle’s assets and liabilities,
Jordan Park also has an inherent conflict of interest in performing this function. It is in Jordan Park’s
interest to have the assets of an Access Vehicle valued at as high a level as possible, as the fund
management fee or Advisory Fee as well as any Incentive Fee to be received by Jordan Park from certain
Access Vehicles will be calculated based on such valuation. In addition, Jordan Park’s performance record
used in marketing Jordan Park’s services to current and prospective clients and investors will be in part
dependent on the performance of the Access Vehicles. To mitigate this conflict, the valuation process is
overseen by a Valuation Committee and all determinations of the fair market value of an asset made
internally by Jordan Park are reviewed and approved by the Valuation Committee.
If and to the extent that Jordan Park determines that the values for any period differ materially from the
values on which Jordan Park based a client’s Advisory Fee for investments over that period, Jordan Park
will adjust the Advisory Fee as it deems appropriate to take such differences into account. Such
adjustments could result in a client paying more or less in fees than were originally charged, depending
on the circumstances.
ITEM 6. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Performance-based fees are fees based on a share of capital gains on, or capital appreciation of, the assets
of a client. Side-by-side management generally refers to a situation in which the same firm manages
accounts that are billed based on a percentage of assets under management, hourly charges, fixed fees
(not including subscription fees) and at the same time manages other accounts for which fees are assessed
on a performance fee basis. We engage in both practices, as described below.
We manage Access Vehicles that charge an Incentive Fee and manage other Access Vehicles, Separate
Accounts or Direct Investment Accounts for which Jordan Park only charges an Advisory Fee or fund
management fee. For certain Access Vehicles, the Incentive Fee is earned only after a performance hurdle
or preferred return is achieved, while some Access Vehicles have no performance hurdle or preferred
return. As a result, we have an incentive to favor Access Vehicles for which we receive an Incentive Fee
without any performance hurdle or preferred return over those with performance hurdle or preferred
return or for which we do not receive any Incentive Fee because the former could generate higher
compensation for the Firm. Clients should be aware that this creates a conflict of interest and may
indirectly influence the way we manage the investment due diligence and allocation process. To address
this conflict of interest, we have developed and implemented policies and procedures with respect to
investments that may be appropriate for more than one client or Access Vehicle, which include a review
of the fees charged to clients, the investment merits and suitability considerations for different clients or
Access Vehicles, and a review of the allocation decision by the Conflicts Committee if an investment
opportunity is deemed to be suitable and appropriate for more than one Access Vehicle.
10
The ability to receive Incentive Fees creates conflicts of interest for Jordan Park between its responsibility
to manage the Access Vehicles and its interest in maximizing the profits it will receive. For example, these
types of fees create an incentive to make more risky or speculative investments to generate higher
positive returns or to allocate client capital to the Access Vehicles over other investments that do not pay
an Incentive Fee. In addition, the compensation of Jordan Park could be affected by the timing of
dispositions and other factors within the control of Jordan Park. We disclose this conflict of interest in
fund documents and disclosures with detailed information about the Incentive Fees applicable to the
Access Vehicle, and each client or investor must complete and execute a subscription document before
investing in an Access Vehicle.
The Firm structures any performance-based fee arrangement subject to Section 205(a)(1) of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), in accordance with the available
exemptions thereunder, including the exemption set forth in Rule 205-3 which allows, among other
things, an investment adviser to assess performance-based fees on assets of “qualified clients” as defined
by Rule 205-3.
Jordan Park uses the Access Vehicles to invest clients’ Managed Assets only when it deems it to be
consistent with its clients’ investment objectives according to the clients’ IPS. To help mitigate conflicts
associated with the multiple potential avenues for investment, which can have different fees or levels of
profitability for the Firm, Jordan Park charges a single Advisory Fee on a client’s Managed Assets in
accordance with the Client Agreement, and a client must complete and execute a subscription document
before investing in Access Vehicles that have different fee arrangements from Separate Accounts or Direct
Investment Accounts such as the fund management fees, Incentive Fees, and other fees and expenses as
described above. Jordan Park has also implemented an investment process culminating in a committee
approval for Portfolio Investments, with related policies, procedures, and controls to consider the best
interest of all clients for whom an investment may be appropriate. See Item 8 for more details.
ITEM 7. TYPES OF CLIENTS
Jordan Park’s clients include high net worth individuals and families and their related entities, such as
trusts and business entities (e.g., limited liability companies and family limited partnerships), as well as
charitable organizations, foundations, donor-advised funds, and other institutional clients. Jordan Park
also manages the Access Vehicles in which clients and other investors invest.
For Separate Accounts and Direct Investment Accounts, we generally advise clients with investable assets
exceeding $100 million. We have and may do so in the future, in our sole judgment, choose to waive or
reduce the above-referenced investable asset amount. Upon a client’s request, and as accepted by Jordan
Park at its sole discretion, investable assets of related parties (e.g., family members) may be associated or
linked together (“Related Accounts”) for purposes of meeting the investable asset amount. We also have
a select number of client relationships that are limited to family office services and do not include
investment advisory services.
To invest in the Access Vehicles, clients must be sophisticated in financial matters, “accredited investors”
within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified
purchasers” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act “), and
the regulations thereunder.
11
ITEM 8. METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS
Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis. Our professionals, based on experience and judgment,
utilize various analytical frameworks to determine which investment strategies best serve our clients’
needs. We stay abreast of microeconomic and macroeconomic fundamentals and build portfolios based
on our expectations of returns, risks (e.g., using variance), and correlation amongst assets. We regularly
monitor risk levels in our clients’ Portfolios, taking advantage of the natural volatility of the markets to
actively rebalance portfolios and align the investments to clients’ targeted risk objective as expressed in
their IPS while also considering the tax consequences of any rebalancing activity for taxable clients. During
market dislocations, we typically review and adjust as appropriate risk levels within agreed-upon
constraints as described in the IPS to take advantage of investment opportunities that such dislocations
may provide to improve the risk and/or return characteristics of client Portfolios. Where possible, and if
appropriate or feasible for a client’s circumstances, we also employ tax-loss harvesting strategies to
improve the tax characteristics of client portfolios. However, Jordan Park does not provide tax services
and tax-managed investing strategies are not designed to provide comprehensive tax advice, are limited
in scope and not designed to eliminate taxes in an account, and (like any investment strategy) subject to
risks.
Given the ever-evolving landscape of investment vehicles and types of assets available to sophisticated
investors, Jordan Park has a pragmatic approach to alternative assets. We utilize alternative assets only
when, in our judgment, those assets could reasonably improve risk-adjusted returns for our clients.
The investment process is led by the Chief Investment Office and implemented by a dedicated Investment
Team. Members of the team focus on, among other areas, public equities and fixed income, private credit,
private equity, real estate, real assets, emerging markets, natural resources, derivative overlay strategies,
transaction structuring, risk management, special situations, and ESG and impact investing. The process
involves identifying, reviewing, and analyzing prospective investment opportunities while conducting due
diligence on and monitoring of third-party sub-advisors and managers, and other investments. Generally,
if an investment opportunity is attractive and suitable for the client Portfolios, the Investment Team
prepares an investment memorandum for review and approval by the sub-committee of the Investment
Committee (“IC”). In the event the Chairperson of the sub-committee of the IC determines that an
investment decision should be reviewed by the IC, the Chairperson will bring such investment decision to
the IC for its approval. The IC’s approval is also required for new investment strategies and certain
investment decisions such as tactical positioning or strategic asset allocation changes that materially
impact aggregate Managed Assets in excess of a defined threshold. Jordan Park’s Investment, Legal and
Compliance Teams collectively conduct and oversee operational and legal due diligence for Portfolio
Investments.
Allocation of Investment Opportunities Among Clients. Jordan Park, in certain cases, allocates limited
investment opportunities among its clients, including the Access Vehicles, which could disadvantage one
or more other clients or Access Vehicles. Managing different portfolios raises conflicts of interest with
respect to the allocation of expenses, resources, and investment opportunities which the Firm, to the
extent practicable, seeks to equitably resolve over the long term. Due to the customization of certain
Portfolios, the Firm on occasion gives advice or acts with respect to one client in a way that differs from
the advice given to a different client. However, the Firm seeks to allocate investment opportunities fairly
and equitably over time while acknowledging that not all opportunities are equally suitable for all clients.
12
In its allocation of investment opportunities, the Firm uses the Access Vehicles to give clients exposure to
private investments or investments in a particular asset class. As a result, Jordan Park allocates more of
such investments to the Access Vehicles to provide a greater number of clients access to these
opportunities. Although the Firm manages investments on behalf of a number of other client accounts,
investment decisions and allocations will not necessarily be made in parallel among any Access Vehicle
and these other client accounts. Investments made by any Access Vehicle will not necessarily replicate
the investments, investment methods or strategies of other accounts managed by the Firm. If the Firm
determines that an investment is appropriate and suitable for more than one client and/or Access Vehicle,
the Firm will allocate the investment opportunity in a manner as determined by the Firm in its discretion,
taking into account specific considerations, including, without limitation, the discretion granted to the
Firm by clients to invest in such an opportunity, cash available for investment and liquidity, current and
prospective asset mix, investment objectives and restrictions, investment style, overall portfolio
composition and performance, the appropriate risk and reward ratio, allocation and exposure to other
similar investment opportunities, prospective investment opportunities and other investment or client
relationship considerations.
Differing Investment Interests Among Clients. While Jordan Park generally endeavors to select and
manage investments for each client based on what Jordan Park believes is in the best interest of that
client, the interests among Jordan Park’s various clients may not always be aligned, and a conflict of
interest can arise as a result. For example, Jordan Park may cause clients and/or its Access Vehicles to
invest in different parts of the capital structure of the same issuer if it believes that doing so is in the best
interest of each individual client or Access Vehicle (that is, one client or Access Vehicle may invest in the
senior debt securities of an issuer in which another client or Access Vehicle holds junior debt securities or
equity). Jordan Park must also allocate limited opportunities among its clients or Access Vehicles when it
structures, negotiates, or agrees to be subject to the terms of an investment on behalf of its clients or
Access Vehicles in common issuers. The decisions made in such scenarios could lead to different
investment outcomes even if clients or Access Vehicles are invested in the same issuer. Furthermore, in
the event of an actual or threatened event involving default or reorganization, or another major event
affecting an issuer in which Jordan Park clients have differing economic exposure, Jordan Park may
exercise creditor rights or remedies (like foreclosure), or decline to exercise those rights or remedies, or
take (or omit to take) other actions (like re-financings or follow-on investments) that could benefit certain
groups of clients over others. Although Jordan Park seeks to resolve these types of conflicts in a manner
that, over time and under the circumstances, is generally fair and equitable to all of its clients, there can
be no assurance that the resolution of any particular conflict will not result in adverse consequences to
any particular client or Access Vehicle in any particular instance.
Investment Opportunities for Employees. Employees and principals of Jordan Park may have the
opportunity to invest in private investments or private funds that are not affiliated with Jordan Park (i.e.,
not an Access Vehicle). These opportunities could include, but are not limited to, interests in limited
partnerships or limited liability companies; certain cooperative investments in real estate; commingled
investment vehicles such as hedge, real estate, private equity, or venture capital funds; and investments
in privately held or family-owned businesses.
Given the potential conflicts that can arise with these types of investments, Jordan Park reviews and
approves such requests in accordance with its policies and procedures, and will consider a number of
factors, including the way in which the investment opportunity was introduced to the employee, any
13
existing relationship between Jordan Park and the principals of the fund or company, and the likelihood
of any Access Vehicle investing in such investments. In general, Jordan Park will not approve an
employee’s investment in funds or direct investments if any Access Vehicle is also investing or pursuing
such investment and the employee investment could prevent or otherwise constrain the Access Vehicle’s
opportunity or ability to invest. However, there may be instances in which employees invest in
opportunities that are not appropriate for client Portfolios or an Access Vehicle due to several factors,
including the size of the investment opportunity, the suitability of the opportunity for any client Portfolio
or Access Vehicle, the timing of the opportunity, or the source of the opportunity. This presents a conflict
of interest in that employees may invest in opportunities that are not offered to, or considered for, client
Portfolios or Access Vehicles. Jordan Park mitigates this conflict through its employee personal investment
policies and procedures as well as the allocation policies and procedures described above.
Material Risks of Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis. We remain mindful that asset markets
by their very nature are unpredictable, and that any investment in, or investment strategy that pertains
to, securities or other financial instruments involves risks of loss that clients must be willing to bear.
The performance of any investment is subject to numerous factors which are neither within the control
of, nor predictable by Jordan Park. Such factors include a wide range of economic, political, competitive,
technological and other conditions (including acts of terrorism and war, or a regional or global pandemic)
that affect investments in general or in specific industries or companies. The investment decisions made,
and the actions taken in managing client Portfolios will be subject to various market, liquidity, currency,
economic, political and other risks. The investment performance and the success of any investment
strategy or particular investment can never be predicted or guaranteed, and the value of a client’s
investments will fluctuate due to market conditions and other factors. Investments may lose value, and
past performance is never a guarantee of future results.
The information contained in this Brochure cannot disclose every potential risk associated with an
investment strategy, nor all of the risks applicable to a particular investment opportunity. Risks vary by
client according to their investment objectives, guidelines, liquidity needs or risk tolerances and not every
client Portfolio will be exposed to each of the risks described in this Brochure. This list is not intended to
be exhaustive of all of the risks associated with investing in strategies or securities that are utilized or
recommended by Jordan Park, but rather a general list of the types of risks of the investment advisory
services provided by us and the related investments.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the prospectuses and offering documents that
apply to the investments and/or Access Vehicles that we recommend or in which a client invests. Clients
should carefully read any applicable offering documents of the Access Vehicles and should consider
consulting with their legal and/or tax professionals before investing in the Access Vehicles.
GENERAL RISKS
Social, Political, Economic, and Other Conditions. Social, political, economic, and other conditions and
events (such as natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, war, government-imposed
economic sanctions, political conflicts, and social unrest) will occur that have significant impacts on
issuers, industries, governments, and other systems, including the financial markets, to which clients and
the issuers in which they invest are exposed. As global systems, economies, and financial markets are
increasingly interconnected, events that historically had limited geographic or market impact are now
14
more likely to have regional or even global effects. An event that occurs in one country, region, or financial
market will, more frequently, adversely impact issuers in other countries, regions, or markets, including
in established markets such as the United States. This impact can be exacerbated by the failure of
governments and societies to adequately respond to an emerging event or threat.
Uncertainty can result in or coincide with increased volatility in the global financial markets, including
those related to equity and debt securities, loans, credit, derivatives and currency; a decrease in the
reliability of market prices and difficulty in valuing assets; greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); further social, economic, and political
instability; nationalization of private enterprise; greater governmental involvement in the economy or in
social factors that impact the economy; greater, less or different governmental regulation and supervision
of the securities markets and market participants and increased, decreased or different processes for and
approaches to monitoring markets and enforcing rules and regulations by governments or self-regulatory
organizations; limited, or limitations on, the activities of investors in such markets; controls or restrictions
on foreign investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; inability to
purchase and sell assets or otherwise settle transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency
hedging techniques; substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation, which can last
many years and have substantial negative effects on markets as well as the economy as a whole;
recessions; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments.
Although it is impossible to predict the precise nature and consequences of these events, the issuers in
which clients invest could be significantly impacted by emerging events and uncertainty of this type, and
clients will be negatively impacted if the value of their portfolio holdings decreases because of such events
and the uncertainty they cause. There can be no assurance that emerging events will not cause a client to
suffer a loss of any or all of its investments or interest thereon. Clients will also be negatively affected if
the operations and effectiveness of the adviser, its affiliates, the issuers in which clients invest, or their
key service providers, are compromised, or if beneficial or critical systems and processes are disrupted.
Risk of Loss. All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital. Such investments are subject to
investment-specific price fluctuations as well as to macro-economic, market and industry-specific
conditions, including, but not limited to, national and international economic conditions, domestic and
international financial policies and performance, natural disasters, outbreaks of infectious or other
diseases, conditions affecting particular investments such as the financial viability, sales, and product lines
of corporate issuers, national and international politics and governmental events, and changes in income
tax laws. Moreover, Jordan Park’s ability to vary their investment portfolios in response to changing
economic, financial, and investment conditions could be limited. The third-party sub-advisors and
managers’ respective investment programs utilize a wide variety of investment techniques, which
practices can, in certain circumstances, increase investment losses. An investor is subject to loss, including
possible loss of the entire amount invested. No guarantee or representation is made that investments will
be successful, and investment results could vary substantially over time. Past results are not necessarily
indicative of future performance.
Market Disruptions, Governmental Intervention and Future Pandemics. The global financial markets
have in the past gone through pervasive and fundamental disruptions that have led to extensive and
unprecedented governmental intervention. Such intervention has in certain cases been implemented on
an “emergency” basis, suddenly and substantially eliminating market participants’ ability to continue to
15
implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding positions. In addition — as one would
expect given the complexities of the financial markets and the limited time frame within which
governments have felt compelled to act — these interventions have typically been unclear in scope and
application, resulting in confusion and uncertainty, which has been materially detrimental to the efficient
functioning of the markets as well as previously successful investment strategies. Furthermore, the global
outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (or Covid-19) created enormous and unprecedented economic and
social uncertainty throughout the world, causing dramatic declines in asset prices over a very short period
and significant reductions in market liquidity. The ultimate impact of such outbreaks are impossible to
predict, but they could well have an enduring and materially adverse impact on global, national, and local
economies. Disruptions to commercial activity due to the imposition of quarantines, remote working
policies, “social distancing” practices, travel restrictions and similar measures, and/or local, national, or
international failures to contain the outbreak despite these measures, could imperil people and
businesses across the world and create long-lasting instability in the financial markets. In addition, the
imposition of restrictive measures (including “shelter-in-place” or “lock-down” directives), as well as the
physical impact of any illness on key persons could materially disrupt their business operations, and similar
disruptions can occur among their service providers and counterparties. Such events can impact the
financial markets, investor confidence, and overall economic conditions and could result in major
economic or financial losses.
Dependence on Principals (Key Person Risk). Investment performance will depend to a significant extent
upon the experience of the principals of Jordan Park. The loss of services of one or more of these
individuals could have a material adverse effect on such performance because of a reduced capacity to
develop and implement investment strategies, obtain investment opportunities, capitalize upon the
relationships of such individuals, or structure and execute potential investments for Jordan Park’s clients.
Reliance on Jordan Park. Jordan Park will make decisions with respect to the management, disposition,
or other realization of any Managed Assets. Clients generally will not have the opportunity to evaluate
personally the relevant economic, financial, and other information which will be utilized by Jordan Park in
its selection, structuring, monitoring, and disposition of investments of the Managed Assets. In addition,
clients will not receive some financial information that will be available to Jordan Park. Consequently, the
success of the investment strategies will depend substantially upon the skill and expertise of Jordan Park
in selecting investments on behalf of a client or Access Vehicle.
Cybersecurity Risk and Information Security. Jordan Park and its service providers, counterparties, and
other market participants on whom Jordan Park relies increasingly depend on the internet as well as
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 clients and their
Managed Assets. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events, including but
not limited to, infection by computer viruses or other malicious software code, gaining unauthorized
access to systems, networks, or devices through “hacking” or other means for the purpose of
misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption.
Cybersecurity failures or breaches of third-party service providers may cause disruptions at third-party
service providers and impact Jordan Park’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses;
the inability to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, or
penalties; reputational damage; unanticipated expenses or other compensation costs; and/or additional
compliance costs. Jordan Park has an established business continuity and disaster recovery plan and
16
related cybersecurity procedures designed to prevent or reduce the impact of such risks; there are
inherent limitations in such plans and systems due in part to the evolving nature of technology and
cyberattack tactics. Additionally, Jordan Park employs reasonable security standards and safeguards to
protect clients’ personal information and prevent fraud. If you suspect fraudulent activity in your Jordan
Park account(s), you should immediately contact the Firm at 415-417-3000 or contact your account
custodian using the information on the custodial statement.
Emerging Technology. From time to time, Jordan Park will use emerging technologies, such as artificial
intelligence (“AI”), as a complement to operational and investment research processes. Jordan Park, on
behalf of its clients, can also invest in companies developing or leveraging emerging technology. Emerging
technology and AI are wide-ranging terms and include a broad spectrum of technologies and applications,
such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and natural language processing, that are
quickly evolving. Such emerging technology and AI present unique risks. For example, the automation of
tasks previously performed by humans can potentially lead to job displacement and economic disruption.
Data privacy concerns arise when AI systems collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data, which
can be misused or inadequately protected. Additionally, the rapid development of these technologies
often outpaces the creation of appropriate regulations, resulting in ethical challenges such as bias in AI
algorithms and the potential for misuse in surveillance, investment decisions or other biases. New security
vulnerabilities can also emerge as AI tools are developed, making systems potentially more susceptible to
cyberattacks when using emerging AI technologies.
Cash Deposits and Cash Equivalents (Money Market Funds). Cash deposits held in a client’s custodian
account are not guaranteed to have full insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”), the independent government agency responsible for insuring deposits at federally regulated
banking entities. FDIC coverage will be dependent on several factors, including but not limited to the
available cash deposit options at the client’s custodian and whether or not the cash held in any deposit
account at the custodian exceeds the insurance limits set by the FDIC (generally, $250,000 per depositor,
per insured bank, per account ownership category). In certain circumstances, cash deposits are included
as part of a brokerage firm’s Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) protection that generally
applies to accounts up to $500,000, including up to $250,000 of cash. Such brokerage firms may also
provide supplemental protection on its accounts beyond SIPC coverage. Cash equivalents are short-term,
highly liquid investments, such as money market funds (a type of mutual fund) and are subject to interest
rate and issuer-specific changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a money market security
to decrease. Likewise, a decline in the credit quality of an issuer can cause the price of a money market
security to decrease. An investment in a money market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC
or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your
investment at one dollar per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.
Equities (Stocks). Equity instruments are subject to equity market risk, which is the risk that common stock
prices will fluctuate over short or even extended periods. Equity securities generally have greater price
volatility than fixed income securities. Equity securities may decline in value due to factors affecting
markets generally, particular industries, sectors or geographic regions represented in those markets, or
individual security concerns. Investments in ownership stakes of public or private companies or in mutual
funds or ETFs which seek to provide investors with exposure to the equity markets are subject to a risk of
significant capital loss due to the unpredictable nature of corporate earnings and their low hierarchical
position in the capital structure.
17
Fixed Income (Debt or Bonds). Investments in bonds, credit, and other types of fixed income-like securities
are subject to a variety of risks, including credit risk or the risk of default of the issuer, interest rate risk,
or the risk of a decline in value due to changes in interest rates, and reinvestment risk or the risk that
proceeds from a fixed income security will be reinvested later at lower interest rates. Debt securities are
affected by changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of debt securities are likely to
decrease. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the values of debt securities are likely to increase. The
values of debt securities may also be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the
issuing entities
Inflation Risk. Certain investments are subject to the risk that the purchasing power of an investor’s assets
will be reduced over time due to inflation.
Foreign and Emerging Markets. To the extent that a Portfolio invests in foreign or emerging market
products, such Portfolio will be subject to certain additional risks that are not usually associated with
similar investments in industrialized democracies, including fluctuation in currency exchange rates, the
imposition of exchange control regulations, the possibility of expropriation decrees, more limited
information about issuers and their operations, different accounting standards, and smaller, less liquid
markets.
Structured Notes. Jordan Park has the discretion to invest client assets in structured notes. Such
instruments are generally privately negotiated financial instruments where the interest or value of the
structured security is linked to equity securities or equity indices or other instruments or indices
(reference instruments). They provide investors with economic exposure closely correlated with a direct
holding in an individual stock, basket of stocks, or equity indices in a single security. Issuers of structured
notes include corporations and banks. Structured notes differ from debt securities in several aspects. The
interest rate or the principal amount payable upon maturity or redemption will increase or decrease,
depending upon changes in the value of the reference instrument. If the terms of a structured note
provide that, in certain circumstances, no principal is due at maturity, it could result in a loss of invested
capital. Receipt of the reference instrument is also, in certain circumstances, exchanged upon maturity of
the security.
Options and Other Derivative Instruments. Purchasing put and call options, as well as writing such
options, are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. Although an
option buyer’s risk is limited to the amount of the original investment for the purchase of the option, an
investment in an option could be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying
security. In theory, the writer (seller) of an uncovered call is subject to unlimited losses, but as a practical
matter, the amount of potential loss is likely to be limited by reason of the option having only a limited
term. The risk for a writer of a put option is that the price of the underlying securities could fall below the
exercise price. The ability to trade in or exercise options could be restricted if trading in the underlying
securities interest becomes restricted. The market price of options written by a Separate Account, Direct
Investment Account or Portfolio Investment will be affected by many factors, including changes in the
market price or dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities comprising
such indices); changes in interest rates or exchange rates; changes in the actual or perceived volatility of
the relevant stock market and underlying securities; and the time remaining before an option’s expiration.
The market price of an option also could be adversely affected if the market for the option becomes less
liquid.
18
The pricing of derivatives (including options) is variable and based on theoretical models, the outputs of
which could vary substantially from the prices observed in the market. The market for many types of
derivative instruments is comparatively illiquid and inefficient, creating the potential for substantial
mispricing, as well as sustained deviations between theoretical and market value. In addition, the
derivatives market is, in comparison to other markets, a relatively new market, and the events of 2008
and 2009 demonstrated that even some of the most sophisticated market participants misunderstand
how the market in derivatives will perform during periods of unusual price volatility or instability, market
illiquidity or credit distress. The primary risks associated with the use of derivatives are (i) model risk,
(ii) market risk, and (iii) counterparty risk. Investments in over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are subject
to greater risk of counterparty default and less liquidity than exchange-traded derivatives, although
exchange-traded derivatives are subject to risk of failure of the clearinghouses through which they are
guaranteed. Counterparty risk includes the risk of default, failure to pay mark-to-market amounts, return
risk premium, and the risk that the market value of OTC derivatives will fall if the creditworthiness of the
counterparties to those derivatives weakens.
Substantial financial market disruption and uncertainty in the derivatives markets can cause substantial
losses if transactions are prematurely terminated, especially due to default when payment could be
delayed or completely lost. Uncertainties in the derivatives markets continue due to proposed regulatory
initiatives, moves toward centralized derivatives clearing, and allegations of inappropriate behavior by
market participants to cause or avoid payments under contractual obligation.
ESG Investing Risk. Investments that consider ESG factors could underperform the market as a whole or
underperform similar strategies that do not consider ESG factors. Specifically, the use of ESG factors could
result in selling or avoiding investments that subsequently perform well or making investments that
subsequently underperform. There are no uniformly accepted ESG standards, and the analysis and
determination of ESG focused investments involve judgment, which is inherently qualitative and
subjective. As such, an investment selected by Jordan Park as having ESG focus may not be treated as such
by another manager. In addition, there is no guarantee that the information on which Jordan Park bases
its ESG evaluation is accurate or complete, and no guarantee that companies, sub-advisors or managers
that Jordan Park believes to incorporate ESG factors into their corporate strategies or investment
decisions necessarily display favorable ESG characteristics.
Impact Risk. Impact-oriented investments may be riskier and/or less profitable than other types of
investments due to less proven investment strategies, less developed businesses or technologies,
immature or unproven markets, reliance on government subsidies or social goodwill that may change,
underlying business managers not seeking to maximize return for shareholders, partial donations of
profits to non-owner entities such as charities, changing regulations, obsolescence due to rapidly evolving
technology, political and regulatory risk, failure to reach critical mass, acceptance of greater risk or
reduced due diligence standards by underlying managers, and many other factors.
ETFs. Investing in an ETF exposes an investor to all the risks of that ETF’s investments and subjects it to a
pro-rata portion of the ETF’s fees and expenses. As a result, the cost of investing in ETF shares will, under
certain circumstances, exceed the costs of investing directly in its underlying investments. ETF shares
trade on an exchange at a market price that will sometimes vary from the ETF’s NAV. ETFs will sometimes
be purchased at prices that exceed the NAV of their underlying investments and will sometimes be sold
at prices below such NAV. Because the market price of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market
19
for them, the market price of an ETF will sometimes be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of
securities the ETF is designed to track. Under such circumstances, an investor will not be able to liquidate
ETF holdings at the time and price desired, which could negatively impact the investment’s performance.
Real Estate Investments. Real estate historically has experienced significant fluctuations and cycles in
performance that can result in reductions in the value of real estate investments made by a Portfolio
Investment. The performance and value of real estate investments once acquired depends upon many
factors beyond a portfolio manager’s control. Revenues and cash flows from real estate investments could
be adversely affected by: changes in national or local economic conditions, including unemployment rates
and consumer spending/confidence; changes in local real estate market conditions due to changes in
national or local economic conditions or changes in local property market characteristics; the supply of
available properties to acquire at attractive pricing in a particular market; competition from other
investors pursuing the same or similar strategies; competition from other properties offering the same or
similar services and amenities, including technology capabilities; rising labor, materials and financing
costs; access to transportation, highways and roadways; changes in interest rates and in the state of the
debt and equity capital markets; the ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older building
structures; changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses; civil unrest, acts of God,
including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, which can
decrease the availability of or increase the cost of insurance or result in uninsured losses; changes in
governmental rules/regulations and fiscal policies which can result in adverse tax consequences,
unforeseen increases in operating expenses generally or increases in the cost of borrowing; the
bankruptcy or liquidation of major tenants or a decline in the business operated by tenants; adverse
changes in zoning laws; the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with
environmental laws; the impact of lawsuits which could cause Portfolio Investment to incur significant
legal expenses and divert the portfolio manager’s time and attention away from the day-to-day operations
of the Portfolio Investments; and other factors that are beyond a portfolio manager’s control and the
control of the property owners.
Opportunity Zone Investments. Jordan Park may invest client assets in “qualified opportunity zone funds”
(or “QOZFs”) and/or “qualified opportunity zone businesses” (“QOZBs”) that make real estate investments
and/or pursue real estate development projects in QOZs. The purpose of the qualified opportunity fund
program is to encourage economic growth in QOZs (which are generally located in low-income urban,
suburban, or rural areas) by providing U.S. federal income tax benefits to taxpayers who make long-term
investments within them. The tax regulations applicable to QOZFs and QOZBs are complex, however, and
they impose numerous constraints and restrictions on their structure and operation (including a minimum
10-year holding period). Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the loss of these tax
benefits and tax penalties. Investments in low-income urban, suburban, or rural QOZs are also subject to
the risk that the anticipated economic growth of these areas may not materialize, which could result in
investment losses.
Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets. Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are relatively new and are
based on evolving early-stage technological innovations. The networks underlying digital assets, such as
bitcoin, operate based on an open-source protocol maintained by a group of uncompensated volunteer
developers. Consequently, there may be a lack of financial incentive for developers to maintain or develop
the network, and the developers may lack the resources to adequately address emerging issues with the
20
relevant digital asset protocol. Digital asset networks involve substantial commitments of physical
resources, such as space and purpose-built hardware, and involve substantial ongoing commitments in
power to run the network that is performing the mining. There can be no assurance that the core
developers of a digital asset network will continue to be involved in the network, or that new volunteer
developers will emerge to replace them.
The rules and regulations governing digital assets are evolving. Digital assets currently face an uncertain
regulatory status and are not subject to U.S. federal regulatory oversight (but may be regulated by one or
more state agencies) and new laws, regulations or directives by U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions may impact
the digital asset markets. In addition, such uncertainty may lead to material litigation, including individual
and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and
governmental authorities.
Digital assets are not legal tender, and the value of digital assets is based on perceived intrinsic value.
Digital assets have experienced and are expected to continue to experience rapid fluctuation in their
market prices. Prices are affected by numerous factors, including limited supply, low liquidity of
exchanges, concerns about perceived manipulation of the price and the safety of the digital assets, market
perceptions of the value of digital assets as an investment, a shifting regulatory landscape, political and
economic uncertainties around the world, and the changes exhibited by an early-stage technological
innovation. The digital nature of digital assets and the digital asset exchange market makes them
attractive targets for theft, hacking, cyber-attacks, and data breaches. The markets for digital assets are
in the developmental stage and have limited volume, trading, and operational history.
As a result, digital assets may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic,
market, industry, regulatory and other changes than more established financial instruments. There is no
assurance that digital assets will gain acceptance as a form of payment and, in turn, there can be no
assurance that investments in digital assets, or the companies providing infrastructure for the digital asset
industry, will be profitable.
Turnover. Jordan Park, or by its third-party sub-advisors or managers of the Portfolio Investments, will
under certain circumstances invest or trade based on short-term or rapidly evolving market
considerations. Such portfolio turnover could involve substantial bid-ask spreads, brokerage commissions,
mark-ups, adverse tax impacts, fees, and opportunity costs from misallocated capital. These costs and
fees will, of course, reduce profits.
Cross and Principal Trades. Jordan Park could determine that a cross or principal transaction is in the best
interest of one or more client Portfolios or Access Vehicles. Jordan Park will generally use an unaffiliated
broker-dealer or custodian to execute a cross trade of exchange traded investments between client
accounts if it determines that such a transaction is advantageous for each participant. If the investment is
not a marketable security with an observable price, Jordan Park will generally determine the value for the
proposed trade based on a third-party valuation in accordance with its valuation policies and procedures.
Any trade in client or Access Vehicle accounts that constitutes a principal trade as defined under Section
206(3) of the Advisers Act, would be disclosed to, and require consent from, each participating client or
Access Vehicle before completion of the transaction.
21
Evolving State and Federal Privacy Laws and Regulations. Jordan Park and the Access Vehicles are
directly or indirectly subject to numerous evolving privacy laws and regulations, including the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), the SEC’s Regulation S-P, and state privacy laws that can apply to Jordan
Park and the Access Vehicles based on their business activities. While many of the state privacy laws
include broad exemptions for GLBA-covered entities or data, these state privacy laws present an
increasingly complex regulatory framework for financial institutions. There is a risk that compliance
practices have some impact on Jordan Park’s or the Access Vehicles’ marketing or other data activities,
that measures taken to comply with new and evolving privacy laws and regulations will not be
implemented correctly, or that individuals within the business will not be fully compliant with the new
procedures. If there are breaches of these measures, Jordan Park and its affiliates and the Access Vehicles
could face significant administrative and monetary sanctions as well as reputational damage, which could
have a material adverse effect on the operations, financial condition, and prospects of Jordan Park and/or
the Access Vehicles. The above considerations also apply to Portfolio Investments, third- party sub-
advisors or Third-Party Managers, and counterparties with which they conduct their investment activities.
Mutual Funds. The risks with mutual funds include the costs and expenses within the fund that can impact
performance, change of managers, and the fund straying from its objective (i.e., style drift). Mutual funds
have certain costs associated with underlying transactions, as well as operating costs such as marketing
and distribution expenses and underlying advisory fees. Mutual fund costs and expense vary from fund to
fund and will impact a mutual fund’s performance. Additionally, mutual funds typically have different
share classes, as further discussed below, that trade at different NAV as determined at the daily market
close and have different fees and expenses.
Mutual funds that offer different share classes are priced differently and have varying levels of internal
costs. For example, institutional share classes often have higher trading costs; however, the internal costs
of the fund are lower. Over a period of time, certain share classes will become more expensive if held in
an account for a long period of time. Additionally, even though multiple share classes may be available, a
custodian may only make available a limited number of share classes, or a custodian may not choose to
offer the least expensive share class that is available. Other custodians and investment advisers may offer
the same mutual fund or a different mutual fund share class at a lower overall cost to the investor.
Regulation of Investment Advisers. Jordan Park operates in a heavily regulated environment. Specifically,
as an SEC-registered investment adviser, Jordan Park is subject to the requirements of the Advisers Act
and the rules thereunder. The SEC has proposed numerous amendments to the Advisers Act rules
applicable to SEC-registered investment advisers, which, if adopted and made effective, could have a
significant impact on advisers such as Jordan Park. Such impacts include but are not limited to increased
compliance burdens and associated regulatory costs and enhanced risk of regulatory actions, which may
result in a change to business practices and create additional regulatory uncertainty. No assurance can be
given that such regulatory risks will not adversely affect Jordan Park, its clients and/or investors.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCESS VEHICLES
An investment in the Access Vehicles involves a significant degree of risk, and no guarantee or
representation is or can be made that any such vehicle will achieve its investment objective. The Access
Vehicles are intended to provide investors with the opportunity to invest indirectly in a variety of Portfolio
22
Investments, including underlying securities or other financial instruments, including derivatives; real
assets; asset back securities or other structured debt or equity investment products; assets in “qualified
opportunity zones”; private investment funds such as venture capital funds, private equity funds, absolute
return funds, real asset funds, emerging markets, private credit, and hedge funds; other types of
investment vehicles; direct investments; co-investments; and “secondary” investments. Jordan Park
clients and other investors are provided offering documents with the relevant disclosures and information
concerning a potential investment in an Access Vehicle and must complete and execute a subscription
document before investing in an Access Vehicle. Clients should refer to each applicable Access Vehicle’s
current offering documents for a more comprehensive description of the risks relevant to the applicable
Access Vehicle.
Limited Investment History. Certain Access Vehicles, and certain Third-Party Managers or Portfolio
Investments in which Access Vehicles invest, are newly formed and have a limited operating history. While
Jordan Park has substantial experience advising on the types of opportunities the Access Vehicles will
pursue, there can be no assurance that the Access Vehicles will generate positive performance results (or
avoid losses).
Multiple Levels of Fees and Expenses. An investor who meets the conditions imposed by and has access
to Portfolio Investments independent of Jordan Park could invest directly in such investments. By
investing in Portfolio Investments indirectly through the Access Vehicles, a client will be charged fees by
Portfolio Investments and on the Managed Assets invested in the Access Vehicles. If the Access Vehicle
charges an Incentive Fee, the client will also bear such fee, which is payable to Jordan Park, at the Access
Vehicle level. In addition to bearing such fees, an investor in the Access Vehicles bears its share of the
transaction-related expenses and other operating costs of both the Access Vehicles and the Portfolio
Investments, all of which can result in higher fees than if invested directly in the Portfolio Investments.
Reliance on Underlying Fund Management. The Access Vehicles typically invest in underlying funds and
in some cases through separate accounts managed by underlying managers that will generally be
unaffiliated with Jordan Park. Returns could be substantially and adversely affected by the unfavorable
performance of one or more underlying funds or separate accounts. Subjective decisions made by the
underlying managers may cause the underlying funds or separate accounts to incur losses or to miss profit
opportunities on which they would otherwise have capitalized. Furthermore, underlying managers may
have a substantial amount of discretion to change their investment approach, potentially without notice
to or approval by investors. Neither Jordan Park nor investors will have any right or power to participate
in the management or control of such underlying funds or separate accounts, and neither will have an
opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by the underlying managers before they are made.
In connection with investments in underlying funds, the Access Vehicles will be dependent upon
underlying managers, which will have custody and control of Access Vehicle assets invested in such
underlying managers’ underlying funds. The failure of an underlying manager or financial intermediary to
fulfill its obligations may have a material adverse effect on the related investment and overall
performance. If any underlying manager, any other financial intermediary, or any of such underlying
manager’s or financial intermediary’s counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a client or
investor could suffer complete or partial losses and increased illiquidity.
Selection Process for Third-Party Managers. Certain Portfolio Investments have limited or no
performance track record, and certain Third-Party Managers have limited or no assets under management
23
other than their own and the assets of the relevant Access Vehicle. In such cases, Jordan Park will not be
able to provide the same level of due diligence or other analysis as it would in other cases and will
therefore not employ the same selection methodology with respect to all Portfolio Investments.
Commitment-Based Fees to Jordan Park and Portfolio Managers. With respect to certain Access Vehicles
and Portfolio Investments that accept capital commitments from their investors, it is possible that such
Access Vehicles or Portfolio Investments will never be fully invested if there are not enough sufficiently
attractive investments identified and consummated. Investors in certain Access Vehicles and Portfolio
Investments are required to pay Jordan Park or the portfolio managers fund management fees based on
the investor’s entire capital commitments during the investment period, regardless of the extent to which
such capital commitments are invested.
Performance Compensation to Third-Party Managers. Each Portfolio Investment in which the Access
Vehicles invest is expected to calculate its performance compensation based on its individual
performance. Moreover, performance compensation payable at a Portfolio Investment level is typically
calculated based on the Access Vehicle’s investment experience in that Portfolio Investment, not the
individual investment experience of any Access Vehicle investor (“Access Vehicle Investor”) as an indirect
investor, through the Access Vehicle, in such Portfolio Investment. Consequently, an Access Vehicle could
be subject to paying substantial performance fees to certain Portfolio Investments during periods when
the Access Vehicle is incurring overall losses.
Portfolio Manager Risks. The historical performance of Portfolio Investments and their portfolio
managers is not indicative of their future performance and can vary considerably from historical
experience. An Access Vehicle will not have an active role in the day-to-day management of the Portfolio
Investments’ assets and will not have the opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by any
Portfolio Investment. Accordingly, the returns of the Access Vehicles will depend primarily on the
performance of the Portfolio Investments’ managers and will be substantially adversely affected by the
unfavorable performance of those managers. After an investment by an Access Vehicle, a Portfolio
Investment could follow investment policies that differ from those originally anticipated or even conflict
with those of the Access Vehicle. Jordan Park will have only limited power to prevent such occurrences
and will be restricted in its ability to dispose of such investments. In addition, although Jordan Park will
conduct initial due diligence and periodic monitoring of the Portfolio Investments, it will be difficult for
Jordan Park to protect the Access Vehicles from the risk of fraud or misrepresentation, or material strategy
alteration on the part of the Portfolio Investments’ managers.
Some of the managers of Portfolio Investments in which the Access Vehicles will invest have only a limited
number of principals. If the services of any of such principals became unavailable, the Portfolio
Investment’s management, operations, and financial performance could potentially be negatively
impacted, which could potentially also negatively impact the performance of the Access Vehicles.
Managers of the Portfolio Investments in which the Access Vehicles invest might become involved in
litigation because of investments made by those Portfolio Investments. Under such circumstances, the
Access Vehicles could be named as a defendant in a lawsuit or regulatory action.
In trading securities, there are consequences for trading on insider information, and Jordan Park expects
that managers of the Portfolio Investments in which the Access Vehicles invest will use only public
24
information when making an investment or trading decisions. Managers, however, could potentially be
investigated or charged with misuse of confidential information, which could, among other things, distract
them from pursuing their investment strategies. Furthermore, if a manager of a Portfolio Investment in
which an Access Vehicle invests has engaged in the past or engages in the future in such misuse, the Access
Vehicles could be exposed to losses.
The managers of the Portfolio Investments in which Access Vehicles invest have responsibility for investing
the funds allocated to them. These managers also manage other accounts (including other accounts in
which the managers can have an interest) and can have financial and other incentives to favor such
accounts over the Access Vehicles. In investing on behalf of other clients, as well as the Access Vehicles,
the managers must allocate their resources, as well as limited market opportunities.
Seed Investments. Jordan Park can cause one or more of the Access Vehicles to make “Seed Investments”
in certain Portfolio Investments and/or their portfolio managers. Seed Investments in portfolio managers
or Portfolio Investments take a variety of forms, including direct early-stage investments in the equity
interests of a portfolio manager or a Portfolio Investment in exchange for a certain portion of such
portfolio manager’s or Portfolio Investment’s profits, as well as lending to a portfolio manager. Seed
Investments could involve portfolio managers or companies with which Jordan Park has a relationship
(“Relationship Parties”), which can create conflicts of interest for the Firm. Please refer to Item 6 and Item
10 to understand how the Firm mitigates this conflict. Each Seed Investment is subject to the risks of a
"start-up" operation, including inexperienced management, lack of resources, lack of infrastructure, and
operational difficulties. Seed Investments could be unsuccessful, causing the investing Access Vehicle to
incur losses on the capital invested in such Seed Investment. Seed Investments typically require the
commitment of a large amount of capital for a significant period of time. Consequently, any Access Vehicle
making a Seed Investment will operate on a "buy and hold" rather than an active asset allocation basis.
Jordan Park will often have limited oversight in the day-to-day operations of Seed Investments, creating
risk that a portfolio manager or a Portfolio Investment could misappropriate or waste assets, fail to follow
agreed-upon investment strategies, provide incomplete or incorrect reports on operations, or engage in
other forms of misconduct. There are no reliable means for determining the "fair value" of Seed
Investments. As a result, Seed Investments will generally be valued based on the lower of the cost or
market value of such investment, provided that Jordan Park can also increase the value of a Seed
Investment if it has a reasonable basis to do so (such as a bona fide firm arm's-length third party offer to
purchase a Seed Investment or valuation provided by an independent external valuation agent). The
failure of Jordan Park to properly value an Access Vehicle’s interests in Seed Investments can lead to an
overstated fund management fee or Advisory Fee and subsequent economic dilution of Access Vehicle
Investors.
Lack of Portfolio Liquidity. Many Portfolio Investments of the Access Vehicles have either no trading
market or are very thinly traded and, in addition, are often restricted as to their transferability under U.S.
federal or state, or non-U.S. securities laws. In addition, many Portfolio Investments have no withdrawal
or redemption rights or limited withdrawal or redemption rights that are subject to various restrictions.
Transfers of interests or shares in many Portfolio Investments require the approval of their managers as
well, which approval can be withheld.
In some cases, Portfolio Investments will be prohibited by contract from selling securities of portfolio
companies or other assets for a period of time or otherwise be restricted from disposing of such securities
25
or other assets. In other cases, the investments of a Portfolio Investment will require a substantial length
of time to liquidate. Consequently, there is a significant risk that a Portfolio Investment or the Access
Vehicles will be unable to realize their investment objective by sale or other disposition of securities or
other assets at attractive prices or will otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy with respect to
its portfolio companies. These risks can be further increased by changes in the financial condition or
business prospects of the underlying portfolio companies, changes in national or international economic
conditions, and changes in laws, regulations, fiscal policies, or political conditions of countries in which
underlying portfolio companies are located or in which they conduct their businesses.
A relatively slow market for “initial public offerings” will, in some instances, complicate the efforts of
Portfolio Investments to dispose of investments pursuant to “IPO exit” strategies and can diminish the
value of those investments. The state of the “IPO market” during the period in which an Access Vehicle
and the Portfolio Investments in which it invests dispose of their investments cannot be predicted.
Further, it cannot be predicted whether the future state of the “IPO market” will have a material effect
on the value of those investments.
In addition, a Portfolio Investment can distribute its investments “in-kind” to its investors, including the
Access Vehicles. The Access Vehicles will generally hold these “in-kind” securities itself until the end of
the applicable restriction period and thereafter attempt to liquidate, under certain circumstances, such
securities and distribute cash to the Access Vehicle investors. However, the Access Vehicles can choose to
make in-kind distributions of these investments, which in certain cases can be composed of illiquid
securities. The Access Vehicles also can make in-kind distributions of the securities or other assets
representing direct investments, which in certain cases will be illiquid. There can be no assurance that
investors would be able to dispose of these investments or that the value of these investments, as
determined by the Access Vehicles for purposes of the determination of the distributions and the
calculation of any performance fee, will ultimately be realized.
In the case of an investment in, for example, a “closed end” or “committed capital” pooled vehicle or a
direct investment in illiquid underlying assets such as real estate, an investor is generally required to hold
its investment in the Portfolio Investment for the entire term of the Portfolio Investment or otherwise
until a sale or liquidation, which could be ten years or more. Access Vehicles that invest in such Portfolio
Investments would therefore need to hold their investments in those Portfolio Investments for a
significant period with limited ability to transfer or redeem their interest in these Portfolio Investments.
Limitations on Opportunities. Access to Portfolio Investments can be limited by the high level of investor
demand some Portfolio Investments receive. The business of identifying attractive investment
opportunities and the right fund sponsors is difficult and involves a high degree of judgment on the part
of Jordan Park. Moreover, the historical performance of a sponsor is not a guarantee or prediction of the
future performance of its Portfolio Investment, and there is no certainty that any given Portfolio
Investment will permit the Access Vehicles to invest.
The business of investing in buyouts, venture capital opportunities, and other private asset situations,
whether by Access Vehicles in direct investments or by other Portfolio Investments in which the Access
Vehicles invest, is highly competitive. In the case of Portfolio Investments, the Access Vehicles will rely on
the managers of Portfolio Investments to identify attractive investment opportunities. The investment
process of any Portfolio Investment also involves a high degree of uncertainty. Even if an attractive
investment opportunity is identified, there is no certainty that a Portfolio Investment will be able to invest
26
in such opportunity (or invest in such opportunity in the intended full allocation). Accordingly, there can
be no assurance that the Access Vehicles will be able, directly or indirectly, to identify and complete
attractive investments in the future or that it will be able to invest fully its committed capital.
Portfolio Investment Operative Documents. An Access Vehicle will be materially affected by the terms of
the operative documents of the Portfolio Investments in which the Access Vehicle invests. However,
Jordan Park will not always be able to negotiate the terms of the Access Vehicle’s investments in Portfolio
Investments depending on the specific circumstances of an Access Vehicle’s investment in a particular
Portfolio Investment. The Access Vehicles have no liability whatsoever for the terms of the Portfolio
Investments, and such terms can be more adverse to an Access Vehicle as an investor in a Portfolio
Investment than the terms on which other investors invest in the Portfolio Investment.
Concentration of Investments. While some diversification of investment risk is expected to result from
the investment approach of the Access Vehicles, no assurance can be given that such diversification will
occur, or if it does, that it will decrease, rather than increase, potential risks. Investment portfolios will be
concentrated in Portfolio Investments and will not be restricted in any manner from investing in
companies in which other Portfolio Investments invest. Consequently, the Access Vehicles’ investments
will potentially be more concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies than originally expected.
Furthermore, each investment opportunity will present specific risks relevant to the industry, structure,
management, and environment in which the underlying company competes. These risks cannot be fully
assessed at this time and could be significant. The concentration of investments could cause a
proportionately greater loss than if a larger number of investments were made.
Expedited Transactions. Investment analyses and decisions by Jordan Park or the portfolio manager of a
Portfolio Investment, as applicable, will be required to be undertaken on an expedited basis, under certain
circumstances, to take advantage of investment opportunities. In such cases, the information available to
Jordan Park or such portfolio manager at the time of an investment decision will potentially be limited,
and as such, Jordan Park or such portfolio manager will not have access to all relevant information
regarding the investment opportunity. Therefore, no assurance can be given that Jordan Park or such
portfolio manager will have knowledge of all relevant circumstances that can adversely affect an
investment.
Liability upon Disposition. In connection with the disposition of an investment in a portfolio company,
the Access Vehicles or its Portfolio Investments will oftentimes be required to make representations and
warranties about the business and financial affairs of the portfolio company typical of those made in
connection with the sale of any business. The Access Vehicles or Portfolio Investments will potentially also
be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investments to the extent that any such representations
and warranties turn out to be inaccurate or misleading. These arrangements will result in liabilities for the
Access Vehicles or Portfolio Investments. Liabilities incurred by the Access Vehicles in connection with the
disposition of investments in Portfolio Investments can cause the Access Vehicles to recall distributions
made to Access Vehicle Investors.
Leverage. Certain Access Vehicles employ leverage in connection with uncalled capital commitments
through credit facilities secured by assets of the Access Vehicles. The operative documents of the Access
Vehicles generally do not prohibit the Access Vehicles from employing other forms of leverage, and such
leverage can be employed by the Access Vehicles at Jordan Park’s discretion. The use of leverage has
attendant risks and can, in certain circumstances, substantially increase the adverse impact to which an
27
Access Vehicle’s investments are subject. As leverage increases in an Access Vehicle, fluctuations in the
market value of the Access Vehicle’s portfolio will have an increasing effect in relation to their capital. Any
such credit facility can be secured by the investors’ capital commitments as well as by pledges of the
Access Vehicle’s assets and will potentially require that distributions to the investors be subordinated to
payments required in connection with any indebtedness under that credit facility. If an Access Vehicle
defaults on secured indebtedness, the lender can cause the Access Vehicle to issue a call notice for the
purpose of repaying the secured indebtedness and/or the lender can foreclose, and the Access Vehicle
could lose its entire investment in any assets used as collateral for such loan. A credit facility at the Access
Vehicle level can place restrictions on payments to equity holders, including prohibitions on distributions
or other payments to equity holders in the event of any default (or continuance thereof) under the credit
facility. Furthermore, the costs and expenses of any credit facility will increase the expenses indirectly
borne by investors and would diminish net investment returns.
Other than specific rights or provisions negotiated for a specific Portfolio Investment, the Access Vehicles
will generally not have control over the investments and activities of the Portfolio Investments, and
certain Portfolio Investments do employ leverage, with some employing more extensive leverage than
others. Leverage by Portfolio Investments can be expected to increase both potential profits and potential
losses.
In addition, the Access Vehicles, directly through direct investments or indirectly through other Portfolio
Investments, will potentially acquire securities issued by portfolio companies with leveraged capital
structures. These portfolio company investments are subject to increased exposure to adverse economic
factors such as a significant rise in interest rates, a severe downturn in the economy, or deterioration in
the condition of such portfolio company or its industry.
Non-U.S. Investments. The Access Vehicles, directly through direct investments or indirectly through
other Portfolio Investments, generally invest in a number of different countries. Depending on the country
in which an Access Vehicle or a Portfolio Investment invests, or a portfolio company is located, the Access
Vehicle and Portfolio Investment will potentially be subject to the risk of adverse political developments,
including nationalization, confiscation without fair compensation, or war. In addition, in the case of
investments in securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars, any fluctuation in currency exchange
rates will affect the value of such investments and the returns ultimately achieved by the Access Vehicle
and the Portfolio Investment.
Laws and regulations of other countries will potentially impose restrictions that would not exist in the
United States. A non-U.S. investment can require significant government approvals under corporate,
securities, exchange control, foreign investment, and other similar laws and can potentially require
financing and structuring alternatives that differ significantly from those customarily used in the United
States. In addition, some governments, from time to time, impose restrictions intended to prevent capital
flight, which can, for example, involve punitive taxation (including high withholding taxes) on certain
securities transfers or the imposition of exchange controls, making it difficult or impossible to exchange
or repatriate the local currency. In addition, the repatriation of currency and other restrictions will
potentially make it impracticable for the Access Vehicles to distribute the full amount of the Access Vehicle
Investors’ capital accounts in U.S. dollars, and therefore a portion of the distribution can potentially be
made in non-U.S. securities or currency.
28
No assurance can be given that political, economic, legal, or regulatory risks will not adversely affect an
investment by the Access Vehicles.
Control Positions. Where discretionary authority exists in the offering documents, the Portfolio
Investments, as well as the Access Vehicles through their direct investments, can potentially take control
positions in companies. The exercise of control over a company imposes additional risks of liability for
environmental damage, product defects, failure to supervise, and other types of related liability. If such
liabilities were to occur, Access Vehicles would likely suffer losses in their investments.
Limited or No Liquidity; Restrictions on Transfer. The Access Vehicles are designed for long-term investors
who can commit their funds for an extended period of time. With respect to illiquid Access Vehicles,
withdrawals or redemptions from such Access Vehicles are not permitted at the discretion of an Access
Vehicle investor. With respect to Access Vehicles that offer limited liquidity, while an Access Vehicle
investor generally is allowed to withdraw or redeem its interest in such Access Vehicles periodically, such
withdrawals or redemptions are subject to various restrictions, including those imposed by the Portfolio
Investments held by such Access Vehicles, such as lockups, “side pockets,” withdrawal “gates” and fees,
holdbacks, and suspensions.
In addition, Access Vehicle Investors are not permitted to transfer their interests without both the consent
of Jordan Park, which can be withheld in its sole discretion, and satisfaction of certain other conditions,
including compliance with applicable securities laws. There is currently no market for investor interests in
the Access Vehicles, and it is not contemplated that one will develop. Thus, Access Vehicle Investors will
potentially not be able to liquidate their investment in part or in full in the event of an emergency or for
any other reason, and interests in Access Vehicles will potentially not be readily accepted as collateral by
lenders.
Long-Term Investment. An investment in the Access Vehicles requires a long-term commitment, without
any certainty of a return of capital and irrespective of materially adverse changes to Jordan Park, the
Access Vehicles, general economic conditions, and/or such investor’s own financial situation. Even if the
investment strategy of an Access Vehicle proves successful, it is unlikely to produce a realized return to
the investor for several years. The Access Vehicles will make capital calls from investors at any time prior
to the completion of the winding up of the Access Vehicles, subject to certain limitations.
Reserves. In managing the Access Vehicles, Jordan Park will establish reserves for investments, expenses,
liabilities, and obligations of the Access Vehicles and other matters. Estimating the amount necessary for
such reserves is difficult. Inadequate or excessive reserves could have a material adverse effect upon the
investment returns to the investors. For example, if reserves are inadequate, the Access Vehicles can
potentially decline attractive investment opportunities. On the other hand, if reserves are excessive,
Access Vehicles can potentially hold unnecessary amounts of capital in lower-yielding assets. One Access
Vehicle established for a single portfolio company investment includes reserve amounts when calculating
the fees charged to investors. Any such fee arrangement is disclosed to investors in the offering
documents.
Valuation. For certain Portfolio Investments, such as direct investments in early-stage companies and
certain real estate investments, their managers or portfolio managers do not provide Jordan Park with
any third-party valuation and, in some cases, for an extended period. In these circumstances, Jordan Park
generally will retain an external valuation agent to determine a fair value of such Portfolio Investments’
29
assets, based on the fundamentals of its investments and/or other factors deemed relevant by such
external valuation agent or will retain an auditor charged with periodically reviewing the fairness of the
internally underwritten fair value of its investments.
In addition, Jordan Park is permitted to establish the fair value of the Access Vehicles’ investments
pursuant to its valuation policy. There can be no assurance that the fair value of such investments will be
fully realizable upon their ultimate disposition. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the estimated
values of unrealized gains and losses, the fair value can differ significantly from the realized value upon
liquidation of such investments, and the differences could be material. The fair value calculations of the
Access Vehicles can potentially be adjusted following the year-end audit as well.
Failure to Make Capital Contributions. The organizational documents of those Access Vehicles that
employ a capital commitment mechanism provide for significant adverse consequences in the event an
investor defaults on its capital commitment or any other payment obligation. In addition to losing its right
to potential distributions from the relevant Access Vehicle, a defaulting investor can be forced to transfer
its interest in the Access Vehicle for an amount that is less than the fair market value of such interest.
These Access Vehicles will be required to meet capital calls of Portfolio Investments or to fund direct
investments over an extended period. Failure by investors to meet the Access Vehicles’ capital call could
result in the failure of the Access Vehicles to meet capital calls from Portfolio Investments, or the inability
of the Access Vehicles to make direct investments, either of which could have adverse consequences for
the Access Vehicles and the non-defaulting investors.
Recourse to the Access Vehicles’ Assets. The assets of an Access Vehicle, including any investments held
by the Access Vehicle and, if applicable, the capital commitments of the Access Vehicle Investors, are
available to satisfy all liabilities and other obligations of the Access Vehicle. If an Access Vehicle becomes
subject to any liability, parties seeking to have the liability satisfied will potentially have recourse to the
Access Vehicle’s assets generally and will potentially not be limited to any particular asset, such as the
asset representing the investment giving rise to the liability.
Indemnification. Jordan Park and its affiliates are entitled to indemnification, except under certain
circumstances, from the Access Vehicles. This means that Jordan Park and its affiliates can in
circumstances where indemnification is available recover losses, including defense fees, damages, and
settlement amounts, from the Access Vehicles in connection with claims brought against Jordan Park
and/or its affiliates by others, such as investors of the Access Vehicles, portfolio companies, and third-
party service providers. The payment of such indemnity will not be affected by the termination or the
dissolution of an Access Vehicle.
Potential Mandatory Withdrawal. Jordan Park has the discretion to cause a partial or complete
withdrawal or redemption or a transfer of an investor’s interest in an Access Vehicle. Such mandatory
withdrawal or redemption or transfer could result in adverse and/or economic consequences for that
investor. For example, because of the inherent uncertainty of the estimated values of unrealized gains
and losses, the fair value at which such withdrawal or redemption or transfer is effectuated will potentially
differ significantly from the realized value upon liquidation of such investments.
Risk of Litigation. In the ordinary course of business, an Access Vehicle and/or the Portfolio Investments
in which it invests can be subject to litigation from time to time. The outcome of such proceedings, which
30
can materially adversely affect the value of the Access Vehicle or such Portfolio Investments, will be
impossible to anticipate, and such proceedings can potentially continue without resolution for long
periods of time. Any litigation will consume substantial amounts of time and attention, and that time and
the devotion of resources to litigation will, at times, be disproportionate to the amounts at stake in the
litigation.
Limited Investment Company Regulation. Each Access Vehicle intends to rely on Section 3(c)(7) of the
Investment Company Act to avoid the requirement that the Access Vehicle register as an “investment
company” under and comply with the substantive provisions of that act. If an Access Vehicle were
registered as an investment company, the Investment Company Act would require, among other things,
that the Access Vehicle have a board of directors, a majority of whom are “disinterested,” compel certain
custodial arrangements and regulate the relationship and transactions between the Access Vehicle and
Jordan Park or its affiliates. Access Vehicle Investors do not have the benefit of the protections afforded
by, nor is an Access Vehicle subject to the restrictions that arise from, such registration and regulation.
Interpretations of Section 3(c)(7) are complex and uncertain in several respects. As a result, there can be
no assurance that the Access Vehicles will remain entitled to rely on this section. If an Access Vehicle were
found not to have been entitled to exclusion from investment company regulation under this section, the
Access Vehicle and Jordan Park could be subject to legal actions by the SEC and others, and the Access
Vehicle could be forced to terminate its business under adverse circumstances.
Limited Commodity Futures Trading Commission Regulation. Certain Portfolio Investments in which the
Access Vehicles invest can potentially invest in “commodity interests” (which include, among other things,
futures contracts, options on futures contracts, swaps, and non-deliverable currency forwards). As a result
of its investment in such Portfolio Investments, absent reliance on an exemption or other relief, an Access
Vehicle will potentially be considered a “commodity pool” under the regulations of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and Jordan Park will potentially be considered the “commodity
pool operator” (“CPO”) of such commodity pools. However, Jordan Park does not currently operate the
Access Vehicles in accordance with most of the CFTC regulations applicable to CPOs because Jordan Park
currently relies on an exemption from registration with the CFTC as a CPO pursuant to the temporary no-
action relief granted by the CFTC staff to operators of “funds-of-funds” issued in a November 2012 letter
(the “No-Action Relief”) or the exemption provided by CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(3). If the No-Action Relief is no
longer available, Jordan Park will determine whether to rely on another exemption, including without
limitation the exemption provided by CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(3).
As long as Jordan Park is not registered as a CPO, unlike a registered CPO operating a commodity pool,
Jordan Park will not be required by the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, or the regulations
of the CFTC to deliver a disclosure document or a certified annual report to the investors in the Access
Vehicles. However, Jordan Park delivers certain periodic and annual reports to all investors.
Concentration of Ownership. Concentrated ownership of interests in the Access Vehicles by a few large
investors can negatively impact the investments the Access Vehicles may make due to tax, legal,
regulatory or other considerations (e.g., considerations to avoid the application of “excess business
holdings” rules or similar rules under the IRC). Concentrated ownership may also harm smaller investors
in other ways. For example, defaults or withdrawals by large investors could materially adversely impact
an Access Vehicle and smaller investors. Additionally, concentrated ownership could incentivize the Firm
to favor larger investors over smaller ones.
31
Tax Considerations. The Access Vehicles’ tax reporting to investors is dependent upon reporting by
Portfolio Investments. Investors should consult with their tax advisors to ensure the requisite extensions
are obtained as necessary due to the timing associated with reporting of tax information by the Access
Vehicles. The tax consequences of investments in the Access Vehicles are highly complex, including the
potential for unrelated business taxable income and excess business holdings that could impact certain
investors, and all investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors.
ITEM 9. DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Jordan Park and its employees have not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events that would be
material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of the Firm, its business, or the integrity of its
management.
ITEM 10. OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Important information about Jordan Park’s other financial industry activities and affiliations is provided
below. These affiliations create conflicts of interest and, in many cases, incentivize Jordan Park to
recommend an affiliate’s services versus other, similar, non-affiliated providers. Additionally, some of
Jordan Park’s employees serve in multiple capacities that may, at times, conflict.
Related Pooled Investment Vehicles. As described in Item 4 and Item 6, Jordan Park sponsors and
manages the Access Vehicles, from which it receives an Advisory Fee and in some cases, a fund
management fee, an Incentive Fee, and/or a fund accounting and operations fee. Jordan Park and its
employees have financial interests in some of the Access Vehicles and certain of the Portfolio Investments,
and Jordan Park or an entity under common control with Jordan Park serves as the general partner and
manager of the Access Vehicles.
Because the Access Vehicles have limited or no liquidity, an investment in an Access Vehicle will be subject
to the applicable liquidity restrictions, if any, that can result in delays in payment of a client’s or investor’s
request for withdrawal or redemption proceeds from the applicable Access Vehicle(s) (see “Limited or No
Liquidity; Restrictions on Transfer” under Item 8). Once an investor is no longer a client of Jordan Park, its
investment in an Access Vehicle will cease to be subject to the Advisory Fee and instead will become
subject to a fund management fee in accordance with the Access Vehicle’s governing documents (which
is wholly or partially waived for Jordan Park clients paying an Advisory Fee and higher than the Advisory
Fee). Fund management fees, Advisory Fees, and other fees and expenses described in Item 5 are payable
to Jordan Park without regard to the overall success of, or income earned by, the Access Vehicles. This
creates a conflict of interest for Jordan Park between its responsibility to manage the Access Vehicles for
the benefit of investors and its interest in maximizing the profits it will receive from an Incentive Fee, if
earned, or the payment of a fund management fee, if the client terminates its advisory relationship with
Jordan Park.
Investments in or with Relationship Parties and Associated Conflicts. In managing client Portfolios,
Jordan Park seeks to leverage the experience and resources of the entrepreneurs, business leaders,
investors, philanthropists, innovators, and other persons within its network (together with their affiliates
and related persons, “Relationship Parties”) to source investment opportunities for our client’s Portfolios,
including investments made on behalf of an Access Vehicle. Relationship Parties also include entities in
32
which Jordan Park has invested its own capital. Such investments could include an investment in a vehicle
or product sponsored, managed, or advised by Relationship Parties, or an investment in a company
affiliated with a Relationship Party. Relationship Parties include existing or prospective Jordan Park clients,
as well as other persons that provide services to, or that have existing or prospective business, personal,
political, financial, or other relationships with, Jordan Park, its employees or principals, and Jordan Park
clients (including the Access Vehicles).
Investments involving Relationship Parties can create conflicts of interests due to potential direct or
indirect benefits to Jordan Park, including an increase in the value of any Jordan Park investment in a
Relationship Party or in an investment sourced by a Relationship Party, and the potential to gain additional
clients or increase an existing client’s assets under management because of an investment involving a
Relationship Party. To manage these conflicts, Jordan Park has developed policies and procedures to
identify and either mitigate or eliminate such conflicts, which include, as appropriate, obtaining consent
from clients or investors prior to making an investment in a Relationship Party or providing specific
disclosures at the time of such investment. The identification and management of conflicts, and the Firm’s
adherence with the related policies and procedures, are overseen by the Conflicts Committee.
As a result, Jordan Park’s relationships with the Relationship Parties (and Jordan Park’s interest in
furthering and promoting those relationships for its own business goals or those of its affiliates) could
influence Jordan Park’s decision-making as it identifies, structures, and negotiates the terms of particular
investments, resulting in terms that despite Jordan Park’s efforts to treat all clients fairly might be
different than terms agreed by two parties operating at “arms’ length” (and thus could be less favorable
to clients). Similarly, after making an investment in a Relationship Party or in any investment vehicle or
product sponsored, managed, or advised by a Relationship Party, Jordan Park has incentives to avoid
disposing of the investment or pursuing remedies against the Relationship Party out of concern that doing
so can damage its relationship with a Relationship Party, which could adversely affect clients.
To mitigate these conflicts, and those discussed in the following section, Jordan Park seeks to identify,
structure, negotiate and manage each client’s Portfolio, including when selecting underlying investments
for the Access Vehicles, with due regard to the investment fundamentals and the interests and investment
objectives of the client or Access Vehicle, and without preference for its own interests. In addition, Jordan
Park has implemented an investment process culminating in a committee approval process for Portfolio
Investments. See Item 8 for more details.
Jordan Park Trust Company. Jordan Park is under common ownership with a private trust company,
Jordan Park Trust Company LLC. JPTC is chartered as a State of New Hampshire non-depository trust
company that specializes in serving families of substantial means who want highly customized trust and
wealth advisory services. Jordan Park has, and may continue to, introduce some of its clients to JPTC;
however, clients are free to work with any trust services provider they choose. Jordan Park Holding
Company LLC (“JPHC”), which owns Jordan Park and its affiliates, receives the benefit of fees paid by any
such clients who choose to work with JPTC to the extent JPTC is profitable and makes a distribution of
such profits. Similarly, JPTC engages Jordan Park for investment advisory services for such clients and for
certain special purpose vehicles managed by JPTC and will continue to retain Jordan Park over other
investment advisers. As a result, a conflict of interest exists whenever we recommend JPTC to an
investment advisory client, and conversely, when JPTC recommends Jordan Park for investment advisory
services. JPTC’s fees are in addition to any Advisory Fees paid to Jordan Park under the Client Agreement
33
between Jordan Park and JPTC. In addition, under a services agreement, JPTC agrees to pay Jordan Park
for a variety of services that Jordan Park provides to JPTC.
JP Portsmouth Capital. Jordan Park is under common ownership with a limited purpose broker-dealer,
JP Portsmouth Capital LLC. JPPC is a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). JPPC offers limited brokerage and consulting services
to clients pursuant to the terms of an engagement agreement with each client, primarily through
facilitating the sale of private securities on an agency basis or through consulting services in connection
with block transactions involving securities in public issuers. These services will be offered to clients on a
non-discretionary basis. Jordan Park may introduce some of its clients to JPPC; however, clients are not
obligated to select JPPC for its brokerage services in order for Jordan Park to continue providing its
investment advisory services to the client. JPHC, which owns Jordan Park and its affiliates, receives the
benefit of fees paid by any such clients who choose to work with JPPC to the extent JPPC is profitable and
makes a distribution of such profits. As a result, a conflict of interest exists whenever we recommend JPPC
to an investment advisory client as JPPC’s fees are in addition to and separate from any Advisory Fees paid
to Jordan Park under the Client Agreement. In addition, under a services agreement, JPPC has agreed to
pay Jordan Park for a variety of services that Jordan Park provides to JPPC.
Jordan Park Access Solutions GP. Jordan Park is under common ownership with a Delaware limited
liability company, Jordan Park Access Solutions GP LLC (“JPAS GP”). JPAS GP acts as the general partner
for two of the Access Vehicles. Under the governing documents of these two Access Vehicles, JPAS GP is
entitled to receive the fund management fee from the Access Vehicles in respect of each investor who is
not otherwise paying an Advisory Fee to Jordan Park. JPAS GP is also entitled to receive an Incentive Fee
from these two Access Vehicles.
Other Business Relationships. In certain cases, Jordan Park employees can serve individually as trustees,
general partners, managers, or other similar authorized persons for entities beneficially owned or
controlled by Jordan Park clients. These individuals will ordinarily take direction from the client in selecting
the investment advisor but will generally recommend that they consider the services of Jordan Park. In
addition, Jordan Park provides investment advisory services to certain affiliated persons with respect to
their own personal assets.
Certain Access Vehicles and JPHC currently own interests in third-party entities that provide certain
services to Jordan Park and/or its clients, and the conflict is mitigated, in part, by the fact that use of such
third-party entities as service providers for clients was made prior to and independent of the investment
by the Access Vehicles or JPHC in such entities, and further mitigated by Jordan Park’s policies and
procedures governing the selection and monitoring of third-party service providers. Nevertheless, Jordan
Park has an incentive to refer clients to these service providers, or to engage these service providers to
provide services to Jordan Park, to potentially enhance the return on the Access Vehicles’ or JPHC’s
investments in these service providers.
Other Investment Advisers. As discussed in detail under Item 4 and Item 5 above, the Firm selects sub-
advisors on behalf of clients to manage portions of their Managed Assets pursuant to the terms and
conditions of an agreement with the relevant sub-advisor.
34
Jordan Park has partnered with Brooklyn Investment Group, LLC (“BKLN”), an SEC-registered investment
adviser, to implement an investment platform for managing various asset classes on behalf of Jordan Park
clients, with BKLN serving as the sub-advisor for certain Separate Accounts within Client Portfolios. In
connection with the Firm’s partnership with BKLN, JPHC made early-stage investments in Brooklyn
Artificial Intelligence, Inc. (formerly known as Skopos Labs, Inc.) (“BAI”), the parent company of BKLN. In
exchange for its investments, JPHC received instruments convertible into equity shares representing a
small percentage of ownership in BAI. In addition, certain clients who agreed to allocate a small portion
of their equity portfolio to BKLN at the outset of this partnership in 2022 received warrants in BAI. As a
result, allocating additional Separate Account assets to BKLN can indirectly benefit Jordan Park and certain
of its clients, and thus creates a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, Jordan Park has
undertaken its normal process of initial and ongoing investment and operational due diligence of BKLN as
a sub-advisor in accordance with Jordan Park’s policies and procedures.
Jordan Park has, and may do so in the future, entered into consultancy or joint venture agreements with
third-party investment advisers. At the same time, Jordan Park invests, on a discretionary basis, client
assets in separately managed accounts or in funds managed by such third-party investment advisers. As
a result, allocating assets to such third-party investment advisers can indirectly benefit Jordan Park and
certain of its clients, and thus creates a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, Jordan Park
has, and may do so in the future, re-allocated all the fees earned through the consultancy or joint venture
agreement to clients who invested in accounts or funds managed by the third-party investment adviser
via an Advisory Fee reduction. In addition, Jordan Park has, and will do so in the future, undertaken its
normal process of initial and ongoing investment and operational due diligence of such third-party
investment advisers in accordance with Jordan Park’s policies and procedures.
See Item 6 and Item 8 for further information about how Jordan Park addresses the conflicts of interest
discussed above.
ITEM 11. CODE OF ETHICS
Jordan Park has a fiduciary duty to its clients. All investment activities of the Firm and members, officers,
and employees of Jordan Park (collectively “Firm Personnel”) are subject to this fiduciary duty of care to
the Firm’s clients.
Jordan Park has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”), pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act,
that sets forth the ethical standards of business conduct that we require of all our Firm Personnel,
including compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and the fiduciary duties we owe
to our clients. Jordan Park also maintains a list of securities that employees are restricted from trading in
their own or related accounts. All Firm Personnel are required to conduct themselves with integrity and
to follow the principles and policies outlined in our Code. A copy of our Code is available to any client,
prospective client, or investor on request by contacting us using the information on the cover page of this
Brochure.
Our Code addresses specific conflicts of interest that either we have identified or that we believe could
likely arise. All Firm Personnel are provided with a copy of the Code and must, upon hire and annually
thereafter, certify that they have received it and have complied with its provisions. In addition, any Firm
35
Personnel who becomes aware of any potential violation of the Code is obligated to report the potential
violation to our Chief Compliance Officer.
Employee Personal Trading. Our Code also imposes certain trading restrictions and reporting obligations
on Firm Personnel related to personal securities transactions. As necessary to place client interests ahead
of Firm Personnel interests, Firm Personnel are generally not permitted to transact in a security while the
Firm is actively trading that security on a discretionary basis across client accounts or Access Vehicles, with
the exception of securities with substantial market capitalization. Firm Personnel are permitted, however,
to buy or sell securities for their own accounts at different times than Jordan Park buys or sells such
securities for its clients, which can potentially result in Firm Personnel achieving superior returns.
Participation or Interest in Clients’ Transactions. Individual securities, including private fund interests,
will from time to time be bought, held, or sold by Firm Personnel that are also recommended to or bought,
sold, or held for a client. In certain cases, Jordan Park permits Firm Personnel, in accordance with its
policies and procedures, to buy, sell, and hold the same securities or investments that we also recommend
to or transact in for clients. As described in Item 5, certain Firm Personnel have invested and could in the
future invest in the Access Vehicles. Firm Personnel who invest in Access Vehicles do not pay the fund
management fee, Advisory Fee, Incentive Fee, or fund accounting and operations fee. Firm Personnel also
do not pay an Advisory Fee if Jordan Park manages assets on behalf of an employee. Conflicts of interest
will also arise from time to time in allocating time, services, or other resources among our Firm’s clients,
including the investment activities of the Access Vehicles. The Firm mitigates conflicts of interest in the
ways described in Item 6 and Item 10.
Jordan Park and Firm Personnel have investment considerations that will differ from those of Jordan Park’s
clients. Similarly, not all clients will have the same investment considerations. As a result, in the exercise
of its fiduciary duties and consideration of its or Firm Personnel’s circumstances and those of its clients
(and provided that Jordan Park and Firm Personnel abide by their fiduciary duty to place client interests
ahead of their own interests), Jordan Park can take action on behalf of any of its clients that differs from
actions it takes on behalf of other clients or actions it takes on it or its personnel take on their own behalf.
For example, Jordan Park and/or its personnel or a client could buy or sell specific securities that are not
deemed appropriate for other clients, including Access Vehicles, at the time.
Material Non-Public Information/Confidentiality. Our policies strictly prohibit engaging in insider trading.
As a result, if Firm Personnel come into possession of material non-public information, Jordan Park could
be limited in its ability to act with respect to a security or investment held on behalf of clients, even though
such action would otherwise be in the best interest of a client. Additionally, the Code also requires that
any information relating to clients is kept confidential, to the extent permitted by law.
Business Entertainment. Employees may be occasionally provided with reasonable and de minimis meals
and entertainment from other financial service providers or third parties, including potential or existing
sub-advisors and managers with whom Jordan Park has invested, or may invest, client Portfolios. This may
present a conflict of interest in that we have an incentive to maintain a relationship with such providers
or third parties. However, all such business entertainment will be conducted in accordance with our Code
of Ethics and Gifts and Entertainment policies, and we will act in our clients’ best interests when engaging
in any business with such third parties.

ITEM 12. BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Recommendation of Custodian(s) and Best Execution. All clients must place their assets with a qualified
custodian. Clients are required to engage the custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct
Jordan Park to utilize that custodian for the client’s security transactions. Jordan Park does not have
discretionary authority to select the custodian for custody and execution services. The client will engage
a custodian to custody client assets and execute trades, and the client will authorize Jordan Park to direct
trades to the custodian as agreed upon in the Client Agreement. Although Jordan Park does not exercise
discretion over the selection of the custodian, Jordan Park recommends one or more custodian(s) to
clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended custodian;
however, the services Jordan Park it is able to provide can be limited if the recommended custodian is not
engaged by the client. Jordan Park recommends the custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited
to, reasonableness of commissions and fees charged to the client and services made available to the client.
Jordan Park will generally recommend that clients establish their account(s) at Fidelity Family Office
Services, a division of Fidelity Clearing and Custody Services, a part of Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC
(together with all affiliates "Fidelity"), and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), each a FINRA-registered
broker-dealer and member of SIPC (collectively the “Custodians”).
Jordan Park has discretionary authority over the placement of clients’ brokerage trades executed in Direct
Investment Accounts, or placement of trades on behalf of the Access Vehicles. In such discretionary
trading, Jordan Park will typically direct trades to the custodian of the client’s Managed Assets or the
custodian of an Access Vehicle’s security positions. Jordan Park is obligated to seek best execution for all
trades, but in seeking best execution the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost or solicitation
of competitive bids, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into
consideration the full range of services. The current custodial relationships provide our clients with
trading, custodial, and other related services, and we seek to negotiate preferred terms for our clients,
thereby providing them with the benefits associated with economies of scale and Jordan Park’s knowledge
of the custody market. Other benefits include the custodians’ facilities, reliability, reputation, experience,
financial responsibility in particular markets, and familiarity both with investment practices generally and
techniques employed by Jordan Park. Jordan Park reviews the accuracy, timeliness and execution of trades
processed through the designated custodians but does not guarantee that a client will receive the most
favorable execution of trades, which in turn could result in a higher cost to the client than if the trade was
executed at another custodian or broker-dealer.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits. The Firm does not have any formal soft dollar arrangements;
however, in the normal course of business, it receives research customarily made available by broker-
dealers to their clients. Jordan Park believes that it would obtain such research regardless of the amount
of commission it generates throughout the year, and any receipt of such research will be in accordance
with the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain
brokers and custodians utilized by us provide general assistance to us, including, but not limited to,
technical support, consulting services, waivers of fees, and consulting services related to staffing needs.
They also extend the same fee schedule negotiated for Jordan Park clients to services provided to Jordan
Park employees. In selecting a broker, we consider the scope of general assistance, waivers of fees, and
consulting services provided. To the extent we would otherwise be obligated to pay for such assistance,
the Firm would have a conflict of interest in considering those services when selecting a broker. However,
37
our selection is supported by the scope, quality, and price of services to our clients and not the services
that benefit us.
Brokerage Services in Exchange for Client Referrals. Jordan Park’s selection or recommendation of a
broker-dealer does not consider whether that broker-dealer has referred clients to the Firm.
Client-Directed Brokerage. Jordan Park will accommodate a client request to direct trading activity to a
specific broker or custodian. If a client directs us to use a specific broker not recommended by us, the
client will be responsible for negotiating the terms and conditions of the broker’s services (including, but
not limited to, commission rates). In these circumstances, Jordan Park does not have any responsibility to
obtain the best prices or a particular commission rate with or through any such broker, and the
commission or other fees can be higher than if the client follows the Firm’s recommendation for brokerage
services.
Aggregating and Allocating Trades. Jordan Park can (but is not required to) combine orders on behalf of
one client account with orders for other client accounts for which it or its principals have trading authority,
or in which it or its principals have an economic interest. The Firm will generally allocate the securities or
proceeds arising out of those transactions (and the related transaction expenses) on an average price
basis among the various participants. We believe combining orders in this way will, over time, be fair to
all participants. However, the average price could be less advantageous to a client than if that client had
been the only account involved in the transaction or had completed its transaction before the other
participants.
Jordan Park will place orders for the same security for different clients at different times and in different
relative amounts due to differences in investment objectives, cash availability, size of order, the client’s
custodian, and practicability of participating in “block” transactions. The level of participation by different
clients in the same security will also be dependent upon other factors relating to the suitability of the
security for a particular client.
Where execution opportunities for a particular security are limited, we attempt in good faith to allocate
such opportunities among clients in a manner that, over time, is equitable to all clients.
Jordan Park monitors, but is not responsible for, the execution of transactions by the third-party sub-
advisors or manager of the Portfolio Investments.
Administrative Trade Errors. From time to time, Jordan Park may make an error in the execution of a
trading instruction for a client’s Portfolio. Trading errors may include but are not limited to:
• The wrong security is bought or sold for a client;
• A security is bought instead of sold (or vice versa);
• A transaction is executed for the wrong account;
• Securities transactions are completed for a client that had a restriction on such security; or
• Securities transactions are allocated to the wrong accounts.
Upon discovering a trade error, the Firm will seek to correct the error promptly in a way that mitigates
losses or any ongoing impact to the client. The actions taken to correct the error will depend on the facts
and circumstances of the error but would generally involve cancelling the erroneous trade from the
client’s account and placing a correcting trade or entry with the account custodian. Jordan Park will
38
generally bear the cost of an error, and gains associated with an error will be retained by the affected
client, including in some cases allowing trades to remain in client accounts if they result in a net benefit
to the client, unless it is not permissible due to legal or other reasons, or the client decides to forego the
gain (e.g., due to tax reasons). If an error results in a reimbursement to a client for any loss relating to the
error (e.g., where a trade correction is not possible or feasible), the Firm will arrange to reimburse the
impacted client through an adjustment of the fees paid to Jordan Park either directly at the time of the
error or through a waiver or reduction of future fees payable by the client as agreed to with the client. In
some cases, Jordan Park may send the reimbursement amount directly to the client in the form of a wire
transfer, check or through a journal of funds deposited into the client’s account at the custodian. Jordan
Park will determine in good faith whether losses arising from an error are borne by the client, Jordan Park,
or a third party, such as a custodian, sub-advisor or vendor, by applying the standard of liability and
standard of care set forth in the Client Agreement or as set forth in any other applicable documents.
ITEM 13. REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Jordan Park regularly reviews the Portfolios, at least on an annual basis, and provides clients with detailed
reports on a quarterly basis. Reviews generally include assessing performance, liquidity, and suitability of
investments. Reviews will also be conducted and tailored when and as requested by a client. The
frequency and extent of the reviews vary by client and are driven generally by client circumstances,
changes to a client’s financial situation, and assets and investments currently held or proposed to be held.
Other factors that could trigger a review include extraordinary events, changes in the tax law, or major
investment developments. Client accounts are also reviewed regularly by the Investment Team to assess
the appropriateness of asset allocation, risk management, risk-adjusted return expectations, liquidity, and
to determine whether changes should be implemented across client accounts. Members of the Client
Advisory Team, with support from the Investment Team, are responsible for the regular monitoring and
review of client accounts.
A client’s custodian provides quarterly reports to the client showing the assets held in each client account
at the custodian, the market value, and each account’s performance for the quarter. Reports will generally
be provided in electronic format, when agreed upon by the client. Certain assets, such as interests in
Access Vehicles, will not be held in these custodial accounts. Consequently, the reports provided by the
custodians will not cover the assets in the Access Vehicles. Investors in the Access Vehicles will receive
separate reporting from the fund administrator. In addition, Jordan Park provides consolidated
performance reporting for the client’s Managed Assets, and in some cases, develops customized reporting
to include other assets not managed by Jordan Park. Clients are urged to compare the account statements
received directly from the custodians to the reports provided by Jordan Park.
ITEM 14. CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
While Jordan Park does not intend to engage third parties for client referrals in exchange for
compensation, the Firm will, from time to time, provide as a reference to prospective clients certain
individuals (who may also be clients) who have a non-controlling indirect economic interest in a Jordan
Park affiliate. Such individuals have minimal involvement in the management of Jordan Park but are
expected to consult with the Firm upon reasonable request and receive a small share of the revenues of
the affiliate each year. Although they receive this share regardless of whether any prospective clients
39
decide to do business with Jordan Park, in order to mitigate the conflict of interest that exists when they
speak to prospective clients, Jordan Park monitors who is acting as a reference for prospective clients and
sends all prospective clients this brochure prior to or in connection with the Client Agreement in
accordance with SEC and any other applicable rules.
ITEM 15. CUSTODY
Jordan Park is deemed to have custody of client assets in connection with its investment advisory services
to clients because of our authority to deduct, or instruct the custodian to deduct, Advisory Fees directly
from clients’ accounts. We also are deemed to have custody in other circumstances, such as arrangements
authorizing Jordan Park to withdraw assets from a client’s custodian account, that require the Firm to
undergo an annual surprise examination (as described below).
Clients will receive quarterly statements from a qualified custodian, such as a bank, broker dealer or JPTC,
including the amount of fees paid to Jordan Park directly. Jordan Park sends periodic reports to clients as
well. Clients are urged to carefully review and compare the statements sent by the custodians with those
sent by us. Should there be any discrepancies, clients are advised to rely on the information in their
custodians’ account statements.
In accordance with the SEC’s custody rule and related guidance and no-action letters, accounts over which
Jordan Park is deemed to have custody are subject to an annual surprise examination, except for the
Access Vehicles, that undergo annual financial statement audits performed by an independent public
accountant and for which the annual financial statements are delivered to investors as required under
current regulations.
ITEM 16. INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Each Client Agreement generally authorizes Jordan Park to invest and trade the client’s Managed Assets
in a broad range of investments, to be selected at the Firm’s sole discretion. Specific limitations applicable
to a client’s Portfolio, such as limitations on the type of investments, security or sector restrictions, or
desired amount of leverage in the portfolio, are specified in the client’s IPS. Each client authorizes Jordan
Park to execute certain documents necessary to facilitate the client’s investments. Clients provide prior
written consent by signing a subscription document before Jordan Park will include any Access Vehicle in
the client’s Portfolio. Jordan Park also exercises discretionary investment authority over the investments
made by the Access Vehicles. In making investments, Jordan Park exercises its discretion in a manner
consistent with the goals and investment objectives of a client or Access Vehicle.
Jordan Park clients periodically receive notices of class action litigation, bankruptcy proceedings and
settlements involving a security held in their accounts. These notices provide clients with the opportunity,
as shareholders, to participate in the proposed litigation or settlement of claims. Jordan Park is not
authorized to respond to notices on behalf of its clients. However, if authorized by a client’s account
opening documentation with the relevant custodian, Financial Recovery Technologies (“FRT”), a class
action service provider engaged by Jordan Park, will file proof of claims in class actions and other matters
with administrative processes for all potentially eligible client accounts. The matters will only involve
compensation to the organizers of the recovery efforts on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. As compensation for
40
their services, FRT retains 20% of any gross recovery amounts distributed to a client, other than gross
amounts of less than or equal to $25 which will be 100% retained by FRT.
ITEM 17. VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Unless otherwise retained by a client, Jordan Park exercises voting authority over proxies for Direct
Investment Accounts managed by Jordan Park and has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures in
accordance with current regulation. These policies are reasonably designed so that Jordan Park can vote
proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of the client. With respect to securities
held in Separate Accounts, Jordan Park generally delegates the voting authority to the applicable third-
party sub-advisors, who will vote or abstain from voting proxies according to their own proxy voting
policies and procedures.
Jordan Park’s proxy voting policies require us to vote client proxies in a prudent and diligent manner
intended to enhance the economic value of the assets of the clients. However, the policies also permit us
to abstain from voting proxies if, in Jordan Park’s judgment, the client’s economic interest in the matter
being voted upon is limited relative to the client’s overall portfolio or the impact of the client’s vote will
not influence its outcome or the client’s economic interests. Once Jordan Park has agreed to vote proxies
on behalf of a client account, it will instruct the client’s custodian to forward all proxy materials to
Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a proxy voting service provider engaged by Jordan Park to
administer proxy voting. Although Jordan Park expects to vote proxies according to
ISS’s
recommendations, certain issues may need to be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the diverse
and continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues. If such cases should arise, then Jordan
Park will devote appropriate time and resources to consider those issues.
Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict between Jordan Park’s interests and the interests of the
clients, we will seek to resolve the conflict in the best interest of the clients, whether by following ISS’s
recommendations or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting decisions are made in accordance with our
policies and procedures.
If a client wishes to inquire about, or direct the vote for, a proxy solicitation directed to Jordan Park, ISS
or a sub-advisor as described above, clients may contact their Client Advisory Team. Where the client
retains the authority to vote proxies and Jordan Park or a third-party sub-advisor does not vote on their
behalf, clients will receive proxy materials directly from the applicable custodian(s) or issuer’s proxy agent
and should direct any questions as instructed in the specific proxy matter.
Clients can obtain a copy of the Firm’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request by
contacting us using the information on the cover page of this Brochure. Clients can also obtain information
from us about how we voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s).
ITEM 18. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Jordan Park has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual
commitments to clients. We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client,
six months or more in advance. In addition, we are not currently, nor at any time in the past ten years
have we been, the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
