Advisory Business
Offit Capital was founded and registered as an investment adviser in 2007 and is primarily owned
by its partners.
Offit Capital provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to
separate account clients (“Clients” or each a “Client”). Such services typically involve
individualized financial goal analysis, asset allocation, formulation of an investment strategy,
assistance with implementation of the investment, and ongoing review of performance measures
for the strategy adopted. In connection with the implementation of a Client’s investment plan,
Offit Capital typically identifies, and the Client selects, investment advisers, mutual funds,
private investment pool, or other investments that are believed to be compatible with the Client’s
investment objectives, risk tolerances and other Client criteria. Offit Capital also provides
discretionary fixed income investment management services to Clients pursuant to an investment
management contract and/or other governing documents. The investment objectives, investment
restrictions, regulatory restrictions, risk tolerances or other circumstances for each Client are
generally documented by Offit Capital in an Investment Policy Statement.
Offit Capital also manages multiple private investment partnerships (the “Offit Capital Funds”)
which invest in other private investment partnerships, as a separately managed account with
unaffiliated investment advisers, or in Offit’s fixed income strategy. In addition, Offit Capital
provides consulting advice regarding concentrated holdings in specific securities that Clients
have acquired independent of their relationship with Offit Capital and coordinates cash flow
plans and estate plans for Clients. Offit Capital generally works with Clients’ other professional
advisors, such as attorneys, to add an investment perspective to the creation of such plans.
As of December 31, 2024, Offit Capital managed $20,396,395,272 of regulatory assets under
management, including $7,778,058,154 on a discretionary basis on behalf of certain Clients and
the Offit Capital Funds and $12,618,337,118 on a non-discretionary basis.
Fees and Compensation
Fee Policy for Clients
Offit Capital requires Clients to enter into an advisory or management agreement with Offit
Capital which, among other things, details the nature of the advisory or investment management
relationship and the fee structure. In general, Offit Capital charges an annual advisory fee that
shall be agreed upon in advance with the Client depending on the term of each Client’s
agreement. Fees are generally charged quarterly in advance on a sliding scale based on a
percentage of assets under management. Offit Capital typically invoices Clients for fees but may
also directly debit certain Client accounts for fees incurred. Clients may select either method of
payment.
The fee schedule generally ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the services provided. A
fixed fee may be charged in lieu of the sliding scale fee in certain instances. Offit Capital has in
the past and may in the future, in its discretion, waive or rebate any management fee for any Client
without entitling other Clients similar waivers or rebates, including for Clients who are
employees and their families. Offit Capital’s annual advisory fee covers all of the services it
3
provides to Clients which select the annual advisory fee. Offit Capital does not charge separately
for the various services it provides those accounts.
Clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs in addition to the advisory fees discussed
above. Please refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure for additional information.
A Client may terminate Offit Capital’s services at any time upon written notice to Offit Capital.
On such a termination, the Client receives a pro-rata refund of pre-paid fees based on the number
of days remaining in the period for which the fees were paid.
Fee and Expense Policy for the Offit Capital Funds
Fees and allowable expenses for the Offit Capital Funds are disclosed in each Offit Capital
Fund’s confidential offering documents. Offit Capital generally does not charge management or
incentive fees on capital accounts owned by investors in the Offit Capital Funds who are also
Clients. For investors or shareholders in the Offit Capital Funds who are not Clients (referred to
as “external investors”), Offit Capital generally charges the capital account of external investors
a fee based on assets under management that may range from 0.25% up to 0.50% depending on
the Offit Capital Fund and the amount of investment. Offit Capital may, in its discretion, waive
or rebate any or all of the management fee for any capital account or shareholder without entitling
other capital accounts or shareholder a similar waiver or rebate.
Each Offit Capital Fund is responsible for all expenses attributable to it, including investment-
related expenses, legal and accounting expenses, including the compensation of any accounting
and operations staff that is an employee of Offit Capital but solely to the extent that such cost is
attributable to work performed for the benefit of the Offit Capital Fund, investor reporting
expenses, audit and tax preparation expenses, filing and government fees, program fee (if
applicable) as well as other expenses that are specified in the Offit Capital Fund’s confidential
offering documents. A full description of expenses can be found in the confidential offering
documents for the relevant Offit Capital Fund.
The Offit Capital Funds regularly invest in other financial products that charge fees including
management fees or performance fees to the Offit Capital Funds such as money market funds,
exchange traded funds, mutual funds, other private investment vehicles, or through a separately
managed account with an unaffiliated investment adviser. As a result, investors or shareholders
will indirectly bear such fees through their investment. Private investment vehicles and/or
separately managed accounts may pass various expenses through to the vehicle or account (and
as such, indirectly to Offit Capital Fund investors) including, but not limited to, investment-related
expenses, trading expenses, legal expenses, accounting and audit expenses, administrative
expenses, insurance expenses, management and incentive fees, and other expenses.
Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Offit Capital does not charge performance-based fees to Clients or Offit Capital Funds.
The Offit Capital Funds invest in other pooled vehicles or separately managed accounts advised
by third-party managers (the “Underlying Managers”). Such Underlying Managers maintain
their own advisory fee structures that could include performance-based compensation and result
4
in potential conflicts of interest regarding investment selection. The fact that Underlying
Managers are compensated based on profits creates an incentive for the managers to make
investments which are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such
compensation.
Types of Clients
Offit Capital primarily provides customized investment advisory services to individuals,
associated trusts, estates, or charitable organizations and corporations and business entities. Offit
Capital also provides investment advice to the Offit Capital Funds which are available only to
investors who meet the definition of a “qualified purchaser” as the term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, Offit Capital participates in an advisory program
sponsored by an insurance company by providing portfolio management services.
Offit Capital generally requires a minimum commitment of $50 million to establish a Client
relationship. Offit Capital may accept a lower commitment in its discretion without making a
lower commitment available to other Clients.
External investors in the Offit Capital Funds are generally required to commit a minimum of $1
million in capital. Offit Capital may at its discretion accept investments below that amount
without making such exceptions for other investors.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Offit Capital’s investment strategy is to identify investment advisers, mutual funds, private
investment funds, and other securities that are believed to be compatible with Client investment
objectives, risk tolerances, and other criteria. For most non-discretionary accounts, Offit Capital
recommends that its Clients participate in the investment opportunities that it believes are
appropriate and the Client ultimately decides whether or not to participate in those investments.
For certain non-discretionary accounts (e.g., accounts focused on digital or virtual currencies),
the Client instructs Offit Capital to purchase certain instruments and directs Offit Capital how to
trade such instruments in their accounts. For discretionary accounts, Offit Capital recommends
that its Clients participate in the investment opportunities that it believes are appropriate and
transacts in such securities for the account.
Offit Capital provides investment advisory services that relate to matters such as asset allocation
among asset classes, portfolio diversification, managing portfolio risk, and other general
economic and financial topics. Offit Capital typically recommends capital allocations to
Underlying Managers via separately managed accounts or through direct investments in pooled
investment vehicles managed by the Underlying Manager. Underlying Managers generally have
discretion to trade, buy, sell and otherwise acquire, hold, dispose of and deal in, on margin or
otherwise all types of securities (including, without limitation, long positions or short sales, on
margin or otherwise, listed or unlisted), such as equities, bonds, debentures, money market
obligations and options to buy and sell securities (both U.S. and non-U.S.), or commodities, futures
contracts, cash and forward contracts, options on physical commodities, swaps, derivatives
(including, without limitation, all forms of options whether listed or unlisted) and any other rights
or interests.
5
Additionally, Offit Capital recommends specific securities to Clients for which it maintains
discretionary investment management and trading discretion. Offit Capital’s security-specific
recommendations for discretionary accounts generally include equity and fixed income securities
(e.g., municipal bonds, preferred stock, corporate bonds, mutual funds, etc.) and exchange traded
funds. Based on a specific Client’s Investment Policy Statement, Offit Capital may have discretion
to purchase additional types of securities.
Offit Capital may also make a recommendation with respect to the sale of a specific security
when a new Client’s portfolio contains “legacy investments” that Offit Capital feels are no longer
appropriate.
Offit Capital utilizes a proprietary due diligence process in the course of recommending
investment advisers, mutual funds, private investment funds, and other securities to Clients. Offit
Capital utilizes financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others and
SEC filings, among other resources, as part of the research process. Certain employees of Offit
Capital conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of the target investment and create
electronic due diligence files which document their analysis. Offit Capital generally meets with
the management of an investment adviser or private investment fund in person or via telephone
initially and periodically.
As with all investment programs, investments in any securities involve the risk of loss of capital.
Clients must be aware of the risk of such loss. All advisers are affected by general economic
and market condition risks, such as global and local economic growth, interest rates, availability
of credit, credit defaults, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws
relating to taxation of clients’ investments), trade barriers, currency exchange controls, and
national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or security
operations), and pandemics (i.e., coronavirus). These factors may affect the level and volatility
of the prices and the liquidity of Clients’ investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair
Clients’ profitability or result in losses.
Private investment opportunities involve a substantial degree of risk as a result of business,
financial, market, and/or legal uncertainties. Clients who may participate in such opportunities
must understand that there can be no assurance that Offit Capital and its investment advisory
personnel will correctly evaluate the nature and magnitude of the various factors that could affect
the value of such private investments. Such investments are typically highly illiquid, difficult to
price (i.e., may have to be fair valued), and subject to volatile market movements and a variety of
other factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic and international economic
and political developments.
Risks associated with investing in fixed income securities include the following: (i) the bond
issuer’s inability to pay interest or repay the bond; (ii) changes in market interest rates cause the
bond’s value to fall; (iii) illiquidity in the bond market may make the bond difficult or impossible
to sell; (iv) the bond issuer may repay the bond prior to maturity; or (v) inflation may reduce the
effective yield on the bond’s interest payments.
As noted above, Offit Capital typically recommends capital allocations to Underlying Managers
or funds managed by such Underlying Managers. When an Offit Capital Fund invests through a
6
private investment vehicle, there are significant restrictions on the ability to withdraw all of part
of its interests, transfer its interests, or pledge or otherwise encumber its interests. Thus, it is
possible that the Offit Capital Funds will not be able to liquidate its interests in the event of an
unanticipated need for cash. Offit Capital typically does not participate in the investment
decision-making process of Underlying Managers. The success or failure of pooled investment
vehicles managed by Underlying Managers is dependent entirely upon the Underlying
Manager’s and its principals’ ability to identify appropriate investment strategies and select
successful money managers. Offit Capital Funds which invest in a pooled investment vehicle
managed by an Underlying Manager are subject to all of the pooled investment vehicles’ risks.
Such risks include, but are not limited to custodial risks, investment risks, trading risks,
leveraging and financing risks, security-specific risks (e.g., equity, foreign, derivatives, options,
futures, etc.), currency risks, regulatory risks, business risks, catastrophic event risks, such as
pandemics, geopolitical risks, and tax risks.
Offit Capital and its Clients may also be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond
the control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, including, without limitation, acts
of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any other
serious public health concern, war, terrorism, labor strikes, major plant breakdowns, pipeline or
electricity line ruptures, failure of technology, defective design and construction, accidents,
demographic changes, government macroeconomic policies, social instability, etc.). Some force
majeure events may adversely affect the ability of a party (including a portfolio investment or
service provider) to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy the force majeure event.
These risks could, among other effects, adversely impact the cash flows available from a
portfolio investment, cause personal injury or loss of life, damage property, or instigate
disruptions of service. In addition, the cost to a portfolio investment or a Client of repairing or
replacing damaged assets resulting from such force majeure event could be considerable. Force
majeure events that are incapable of or are too costly to cure can have a permanently adverse
effect on a portfolio company. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an
infectious disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international
business activity generally, or in any of the countries in which clients invest.
Prospective investors are advised to review the applicable Offit Capital Fund confidential
offering documents for a full description of the relevant risks of investing in the Offit Capital
Funds.
Disciplinary Information
Offit Capital and its employees have not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events in the
past 10 years that would be material to a Client or external investor’s evaluation of Offit Capital
or its personnel.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The Managing Member/General Partner of certain of the Offit Capital Funds is affiliated with
Offit Capital by common ownership and employees of Offit Capital may invest in Offit Capital
Funds. Offit Capital does not believe this creates a material conflict of interest as the investment
in the Offit Capital Fund by the employees helps to align Offit Capital’s interests with the
interests of other investors. Offit Capital may, at times, recommend investment opportunities or
7
hold investments with investment managers who are also Clients. Employees may be granted
permission to serve as directors or officers of outside organizations or trustees of outside
organizations or for clients. In these instances, Offit Capital may have a business relationship
with the outside organization or may seek to have a relationship in the future. All such
relationships are reviewed for potential conflicts of interest.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Offit Capital and its employees invest personally in securities of the same classes as are purchased
for Clients and may own securities of issuers whose securities are subsequently purchased for
Clients. A potential conflict of interest exists when Offit Capital permits its employees to buy
and sell the same securities in which Clients invest due to the risk of employee’s front-running
Client accounts, among other things. Offit Capital and its employees may also buy or sell
securities for their own accounts based on personal investment considerations that Offit Capital
does not deem appropriate to buy or sell for Clients or recommend to Clients.
Offit Capital serves as general partner, managing member, or investment manager to the Offit
Capital Funds. The Offit Capital Funds are marketed to Clients to assist with allocation of limited
investment opportunities available to Clients. Offit Capital typically does not charge management
fees or performance allocations on capital accounts owned by Clients.
To mitigate potential conflicts of interest involving personal trades, Offit Capital has adopted a
formal code of ethics and insider trading policy (“Code”). Among other things, the Code requires
that employees act with integrity, place the interests of Clients above their own, avoid actual and
potential conflicts of interest, and comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities
laws. The Code also requires employees to pre-clear certain personal securities transactions,
report personal securities transactions on at least a quarterly basis, provide Offit Capital with a
detailed summary of certain holdings annually, and to submit duplicate brokerage statements
upon request of the CCO.
A copy of the Code shall be provided to any Client or external investor or prospective Client or
external investor upon request. Please contact the Chief Compliance Officer, Vincent Rella, at
(212)588-3240 to request a copy of the Code.
Employees or related persons of Offit Capital may also serve as directors, officers or consultants
of companies that issue securities whose shares may be held in Client accounts. Such service as
board members, officers or consultants may, from time to time, result in restrictions on Offit
Capital’s trading in securities of such issuers.
Related persons of certain Underlying Managers that are recommended to Clients are themselves
Clients of Offit Capital. Offit Capital’s decision to recommend investment with any such
Underlying Manager is based on the investment merits of the investment manager and is not
based on Offit Capital’s relationship with such manager as a Client of Offit Capital.

Brokerage Practices
Broker Selection and Discretion
Offit Capital has been granted the authority by certain of its Clients to determine, without specific
consent, the securities to be bought or sold, the amounts of those securities, and the broker-
dealers utilized to complete those trades. Any limitations that might be placed on Offit Capital
are Client specific. In selecting broker-dealers to be used in portfolio transactions, Offit Capital’s
guiding principle is to seek to obtain the best overall execution on transactions. Offit Capital
considers a number of factors, including, without limitation, the handling of the order, the ability
of the broker to settle the trade promptly and accurately, the financial standing of the broker, the
ability of the broker to commit capital, Offit Capital’s past experience with similar trades and
other factors that may be unique to a particular order. In recognition of the value of these
judgmental factors, Offit Capital may pay a brokerage commission that is higher than the lowest
commission that might otherwise be available for any given trade. For non-fixed income Clients,
Offit Capital executes trades with the custodian designated by the Client and does not otherwise
seek alternative execution options.
Offit Capital does not require that Clients maintain their accounts at any particular custodian and
does not pro-actively recommend any particular custodians. Clients have discretion to select their
own custodian. However, if asked, Offit Capital generally recommends that Clients use Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified
custodian. Offit Capital is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with Schwab.
Schwab Advisor Services™, Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms,
provides Offit Capital and its Clients with access to their institutional brokerage services
(trading, custody, reporting, and related services), many of which are not typically available to
Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those
services help Offit Capital manage or administer Clients’ accounts, while others help manage the
business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis and at no
charge to Offit Capital. Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range
of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets. The
investment products available through Schwab include some to which Offit Capital might not
otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by
Clients.
Schwab also makes available other products and services that benefit Offit Capital but may not
directly benefit Clients. These products and services assist in managing and administering
Clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third
parties. Offit Capital may use this research to service all or a substantial number of Clients’
accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab.
Offit Capital receives a benefit from the availability of the above noted services from Schwab
because Offit Capital does not have to produce or purchase them. This creates an incentive to
recommend that Clients maintain their account with Schwab, based on Offit Capital’s interest in
receiving Schwab’s services that benefit the business rather than based on a Client’s interest in
receiving the best value in custody services and the most favorable execution of transactions.
This is a potential conflict of interest. However, Offit Capital does not require that Clients
maintain their accounts at any particular custodian and only recommends a custodian if requested
9
by a Client. Offit Capital believes that recommending Schwab as a custodian is in the best
interests of Clients and that we are able to seek favorable execution when trading with Schwab.
Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab’s services and
not Schwab’s services that benefit only us.
Certain Clients may request that Offit Capital trade through specified brokers on the Client’s
behalf. If a Client directs Offit Capital to use a specific broker and Offit Capital has not
negotiated the terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, commission rates) relating to
the services provided by such broker, Offit Capital does not have any responsibility for obtaining
for the Client from any such broker the best prices or particular commission rates. In addition,
Clients who direct Offit Capital to use a specific broker may pay higher commission rates or
receive less favorable execution on some transactions than non-directing Clients, at least, in part,
because the directed broker may maintain a higher commission schedule or provide less
favorable service or because such transactions may be excluded from combined orders and any
corresponding economies of scale. In such situations, the Client may not obtain rates as low as
it otherwise might obtain if Offit Capital had discretion to select brokers other than those chosen
by the Client. Further, because Offit Capital will not be able to aggregate securities transactions
for Clients who direct the use of a particular broker, the Client also may not benefit from any
improved execution or lower commissions that may be available for such transactions.
Offit Capital accepts only proprietary research from the brokers and does not enter into any
soft dollar arrangements whereby it receives research or any other benefit from third parties.
Research services received from brokers and dealers are supplemental to Offit Capital’s own
research effort. To the best of Offit Capital’s knowledge, these services are generally made
available to all institutional investors doing business with such broker-dealers. Offit Capital
does not separately compensate such broker-dealers for the research and does not believe that it
“pays-up” for such broker-dealers’ services due the difficulty associated with the broker-
dealers not breaking out the costs for such services. Offit Capital’s acceptance of research from
brokers is done in accordance with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
Trade Aggregation and Allocation
Because Offit Capital engages in the investment advisory and investment management business
and manages more than one account, there may be conflicts of interest over Offit Capital’s time
devoted to managing any one account and the allocation of investment opportunities among all
accounts managed by Offit Capital. Offit Capital attempts to resolve all such conflicts in a
manner that is generally fair to all of its Clients. Offit Capital may give advice and take action
with respect to any of its Clients that differs from advice given or the timing or nature of action
with respect to any particular Client in that it is Offit Capital’s policy, to the extent practicable,
to allocate investment opportunities over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative
to other Clients. Offit Capital is not obligated to recommend for any account any security that
Offit Capital or its personnel may acquire for its or their own accounts or for the account of any
other Client, if in the absolute discretion of Offit Capital, it is not practical or desirable to
recommend a position in such security for that account.
Offit Capital may aggregate Client trades when there is a large volume of orders of the same
security and when such aggregation is expected to be in the best interest of all participating
10
Clients. Trades are allocated at the discretion of Offit Capital based on participating account’s size,
diversification, cash availability, investment objectives, and other relevant factors. Additional
considerations for fixed income accounts include residence (for separately managed accounts
with municipal bonds), duration, available cash, tax lot, and existing exposure. Accounts within
the fixed income strategies that have the highest available cash and lowest existing exposure are
typically given allocation priority. All accounts participating in a block trade shall receive the
average price and pay a proportional share of any commission, subject to minimum ticket
charges. Employee accounts may participate in aggregate trades provided that all participating
accounts receive the average price and pay a proportional share of any commission.
Cross Transactions
Offit Capital may utilize an unaffiliated broker-dealer to cross securities and/or cash between
Client accounts when such transaction is advantageous for each participant. A cross transaction
occurs when Offit Capital causes one Client to sell a security to another Client in an arm’s length
transaction. There are several reasons why a cross transaction may occur. One reason is that the
selling Client requires cash, and the buying Client has cash and needs a particular security.
Clients that participate in cross transactions may incur a fee charged by the broker-dealer.
Principal Transactions
From time to time, accounts owned by Offit Capital or related persons purchase investments
from or sell investments to Client accounts. Offit Capital discloses the capacity in which it is
acting to each participating Client in writing before completion of the transaction and obtains
each participating Client’s consent to the transaction.
Review of Accounts
each portfolio/investment
account
in
connection with
Reviews of all investment advisory accounts are conducted quarterly at a minimum or more
frequently if Offit Capital considers such review appropriate. Each review includes
reconciliation of current balances with prior period balances and may also include analysis of
performance such as comparison with indices and peer groups, an assessment of the
the
appropriateness of
portfolio’s/account’s investment objective, as well as discussion with investment managers, as
appropriate. Offit Capital also performs quarterly reviews of certain significant investments
made directly by Clients without investment manager involvement.
Portions of the review function are performed by members of the Client Advisory and Fixed
Income teams with final reviews completed by the Chief Executive Officer or a Partner from the
Client Advisory team. Additionally, investment personnel including the Co-Chief Investment
Officers, Chief Executive Officer, a Partner from the Research team, and a Partner from
the Client Advisory team review accounts at least annually.
In addition to the statements or reports provided directly to Clients and/or external investors by
the custodians or administrators, Offit Capital provides quarterly or monthly written reports
covering a description of portfolio, a presentation of performance, and a discussion of
performance. Upon the request of certain prospective Clients or external investors, Clients or
external investors, or third parties representing Clients or external investors, Offit Capital may
11
also provide, in its sole and absolute discretion, more frequent disclosure or additional
information not contained in the above mentioned reports and statements, either due to
legal/regulatory constraints that must be followed by Clients or external investors and/or the
specific needs of and requests made by certain Clients or external investors.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Offit Capital does not directly or indirectly compensate any third parties for Client or external
investor referrals.
Offit Capital receives an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of support products and
services that are made available to it. These products and services, how they benefit Offit Capital,
and the related conflicts of interest are described above (Brokerage Practices section).
Custody
All Client assets are held in custody by unaffiliated broker-dealers, banks, or other qualified
custodians. Clients receive account statements directly from their broker-dealer, bank, or other
qualified custodian on at least a quarterly basis. Offit Capital urges Clients to carefully review
those statements and compare them to any statements sent directly by Offit Capital. Offit Capital
obtains annual surprise asset verifications for certain accounts where it has custody of such Client
assets, including Clients that grant Offit general power of attorney over their account, in
accordance with relevant rules regarding the safeguarding of client assets.
Offit Capital is deemed to have custody of the Offit Capital Funds since it or an affiliate serves
as the managing member or general partner. The Offit Capital Funds are subject to an annual
audit and the audited financial statements are distributed to each limited partner.
Investment Discretion
Offit Capital has been granted the authority by certain of its Clients to determine, without specific
consent, the securities to be bought or sold, the amounts of those securities, and the broker-
dealers utilized to complete those trades. The discretionary authority granted to Offit Capital for
certain Clients is evidenced in the investment advisory agreement that is executed by Offit
Capital and the Client at the inception of the advisory relationship. Clients can place reasonable
restrictions on Offit Capital’s investment discretion. For example, Clients can request specific
limitations on discretion over the broker-dealer used and impose investment restrictions on the
account as discussed in the Advisory Business section of this brochure.
For the Offit Capital Funds, investors sign a subscription agreement to document the
discretionary authority granted to Offit Capital as investment manager/adviser/general partner.
Offit Capital has discretion to agree with certain investors to waive or modify the application of
certain terms applicable to such investor in a "side letter" or in any other manner, without
obtaining the consent of any other investor in the Offit Capital Fund. For example, Offit Capital
may agree to, among other things, “key man” provisions, “most-favored nation” status,
notification terms if certain outcomes occur, and written confirmation or clarification of terms
described in the Offit Capital Fund’s governing documents.
12
Voting Client Securities
Offit Capital generally does not perform proxy voting services on behalf of Clients, unless
requested to do so by a Client or for Clients over which it has custody. Clients are typically
instructed to inform their account custodians to send proxy voting information directly to the
Client. Offit Capital recommends that Clients read the information provided with the proxy
voting document and make a determination based on the information provided. In some
instances, Offit Capital may give limited clarifications based on its understanding of issues
presented in the proxy voting materials. Offit Capital may provide the Client with an opinion on
how the Client should vote, however, Clients are solely responsible for all proxy voting
decisions. Clients can contact Offit Capital at (212) 588-3240 with proxy-related questions.
For a small number of discretionary Clients in which Offit Capital has custody of the account,
Offit Capital generally accepts authority to vote proxies for such account. In addition, Offit has
authority to vote proxies as the general partner or managing member to the Offit Capital Funds.
In these instances, Offit Capital will vote proxies in a manner that is consistent with its policies
(which may include abstaining from voting) and anticipated to cause the greatest economic
return or least economic decline. Offit Capital may encounter potential conflicts of interest in
the course of voting a particular proxy. Determinations as to whether a conflict of interest is
material will be made after internal discussion among the Investment Committee. Materiality
determinations are fact based and depend on the details of a particular situation.
A copy of Offit Capital’s full proxy voting policy and procedures as well as a record of votes
cast for the Offit Capital Funds can be provided upon request by contacting the Chief Compliance
Officer, Vincent Rella, at (212) 588-3240.
Offit Capital does not file proof of claims on behalf of Clients or the Offit Capital Funds, however,
may, upon request, assist Clients in gathering requisite information and preparing the proof of claim
form.
Financial Information
Offit Capital has never filed for bankruptcy and is not aware of any financial condition that is
expected to affect its ability to manage Client accounts or the Offit Capital Funds.
