Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Overview
Selby Lane Capital, LLC (“Selby Lane” or “Firm” or “Adviser”) is an investment firm that primarily
provides advisory services to private pooled investment vehicles and separate account clients
according to bespoke mandates according to the clients’ needs. Selby Lane was originally
founded in 2020 with a mission to help its clients achieve their investment goals by offering
solutions that provide exposure to venture capital, private equity and other private asset classes.
The Firm is privately owned, and its principal owner is David C. Burke.
Advisory Services
Selby Lane provides discretionary portfolio management services to private pooled investment
vehicles (the “Private Fund(s)” or the “Fund(s)”) in accordance with the investment guidelines set
forth in each Private Fund’s offering documents. Selby Lane is responsible for the investment
decisions and performance of the Private Funds. Selby Lane also provides discretionary advisory
services to separately managed accounts, which follow a similar strategy of investing in third-party
managed private pooled vehicles.
Selby Lane’s investment advice is limited to investments in managers of private equity, growth
equity, venture capital, and other private asset classes. Investors are required to meet certain
qualifications, such as being an “Accredited Investor,” a “Qualified Client” and/or a “Qualified
Purchaser” as defined under federal laws. Investors interested in a certain Private Fund should
refer to the offering documents of such Private Fund for important information regarding the
investment objectives, risks, fees and additional disclosures for a complete understanding of the
terms and conditions for investing in the fund.
Private Pooled Vehicles
Each Private Funds invest substantially all of its assets in the limited partnership interests of other
private funds (“underlying funds”) managed by third-party managers (the “Managers”). Selby
Lane provides discretionary portfolio management services in accordance with the investment
guidelines set forth in each Private Fund’s offering documents. Selby Lane is responsible for the
investment decisions and performance of the Private Funds.
1
Advisory Consulting Services
Selby Lane also provides bespoke advisory services to institutional and individual investors to
facilitate investments in private equity, venture capital, and other private asset classes. These
services include, but are not limited to, research, identification, allocation, facilitation, and
monitoring of investments in third-party managed funds. Each client’s portfolio is customized to
suit the client’s desired investment objectives and strategies and is implemented by the client,
according to the terms of the client’s investment management agreement with Selby Lane.
Assets under Management
As of December 31, 20241, Selby Lane had total regulatory assets under management (RAUM) of
$332,681,699.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Adviser Compensation
Private Fund Management Fees: Each Private Fund investor bears its proportionate share of the
applicable investment management fee charged to the Private Fund. Compensation earned by
Selby Lane for providing investment advisory services to the Private Funds is generally composed
of an asset-based management fee, which does not exceed 2% and is generally payable quarterly
in advance in addition to a performance-based fee, if applicable. In the event that an advisory
agreement is terminated prior to the conclusion of a billing period, Selby Lane will refund a pro
rata portion of any pre-paid management fees in accordance with the terms of the governing
agreements. The management fee is generally deducted directly from the Private Fund’s assets.
Management fees are based on committed capital, invested capital, net asset value or the
aggregate of committed and invested capital, according to the terms of a fund’s governing
agreement. Commitment-based fees are generally charged to a Private Fund during its investment
period. After the investment period, the basis for the management fee varies according to the
terms of each Private Fund’s governing agreement.
Management fees that are based on the Funds’ net asset value, which calculated by the funds’
administrator using data from the Managers of the underlying funds. On a quarterly basis, each
Manager provides the fund administrator with valuation reports showing the net asset value of the
underlying funds. The fund administrator compiles these reports and calculates the net asset value
for each Private Fund in compliance with the Firm’s valuation policy. The Firm’s Valuation
1 Gross Asset Values for the Funds: Due to the timing of this filing, the Firm has estimated gross asset values as of
12/31/2024 utilizing valuations as of 9/30/2024. An amended ADV will be filed reflecting final 12/31/2024 values
once available.
2
Committee reviews and approves the administrator’s calculations. If a Manager’s net asset values
are not otherwise available, Selby Lane will follow its fair valuation policies and procedures. Any
market-traded securities held in a client’s custodian account are priced by the custodian or other
independent pricing service provider.
In addition, as described in Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management,
Selby Lane or its affiliates has the potential to earn performance-based compensation from certain
Private Funds in the form of a carried interest in profits.
A Private Fund’s general partner (an affiliate of Selby Lane) may, in its discretion and in
accordance with the fund’s offering documents, offer one or more limited partners of the fund the
opportunity to co-invest alongside the Private Fund in an underlying fund. Management fees
and/or carried interest that may be received by Selby Lane or its affiliates in connection with co-
investments will be determined on a deal-by-deal basis.
Advisory Consulting Services Fees: The Firm will charge either a fixed or asset-based fee that is
determined according to the type and complexity of the specific services we provide. Asset-based
fees could be charged based on the amount of a client’s capital commitments or on net asset
value or invested capital. In some cases, clients will pay an incentive or carried interest fee. Terms
regarding scope and nature of services provided, fees charged for those services, fee
calculations, and manner of payment are documented in a client’s investment advisory
agreement.
Investment advisory agreements may be terminated according to the terms of the agreement.
Fees are prorated for the number of days for which the agreement is in effect.
We reserve the right to negotiate our advisory fees. The fees that we charge for advisory services,
fixed fees, or project fees are specified in a client’s investment advisory agreement or other
services agreement you have with us.
Other (Non-Advisory) Fees
Selby Lane’s advisory fees are exclusive of transaction and other fees and expenses that may be
incurred by a Private Fund. These other fees and expenses are described in detail in each Private
Fund’s offering memorandum or partnership agreement. Other fund fees and expenses may
include, among others:
•
•
•
•
Third-party custody fees;
Organizational expenses;
Legal, fund administration, accounting and tax preparation fees; and
Fees and expenses of money market funds that hold cash balances.
3
All fees paid to Selby Lane for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from these
other (non-advisory) fees and expenses. More information regarding a Private Fund’s fees and
expenses is set out in the fund’s offering documents. Neither Selby Lane nor any of its employees
receive placement fees or commissions from third parties for the sale of securities or other
investment products, including asset-based charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Performance Based Fees
As described above in Item 5: Fees and Compensation, a portion of each Private Fund’s profits
is distributed to certain Selby Lane affiliates (the “Carried Interest”). Because the general partner
of each Private Fund is an affiliate of Selby Lane, Carried Interest is considered performance-
based compensation that benefits Selby Lane. Carried Interest payments, if any, typically are paid
periodically from proceeds received upon disposition investments that otherwise would be
distributed to a Private Fund’s limited partners, pursuant to the terms of each fund’s limited
partnership agreement.
While the receipt of Carried Interest is intended to align Selby Lane affiliates’ interests with those
of the relevant Private Fund, the nature of the Carried Interest creates a potential conflict of
interest between Selby Lane affiliates and the Private Funds. The nature of performance fees can
encourage unnecessary speculation with Private Fund assets in order to earn or increase the
amount of the fee. The result of riskier investments can have a positive effect in that results could
equal higher returns when compared to an asset-based fee account. On the other hand, riskier
investments historically have a higher chance of losing value. However, this risk is somewhat
mitigated because Carried Interest is only paid on realized investments, and Selby Lane’s affiliates
have an obligation to return any excess Carried Interest distributions if actual returns upon a final
disposition would result in investors receiving aggregate distributions that are less than a
preferred return or in Selby Lane’s affiliate receiving more than the specified percentage of actual
distributions to which it is entitled under the terms of the applicable partnership agreement.
Selby Lane invests Private Fund assets in investment opportunities that it believes are in the best
interests of the Private Funds without regard to fee arrangements.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Selby Lane provides advisory services to a variety of investors including individual investors,
institutional investors, and private pooled vehicles.
4
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategy
Selby Lane’s clients primarily invest in underlying private funds managed by third-party managers.
The risks relating to the underlying private funds should be considered before investing.
Use of Third-Party Managers. Adviser selects certain third-party managers to manage a
substantial portion of its clients’ assets. In these situations, the Adviser conducts initial and
ongoing due diligence of each Manager, but the success of Adviser’s strategy depends on the
abilities of the Managers to successfully implement their respective investment strategies. In
addition, Adviser does not supervise the independent Managers or direct their investment
strategies.
Initial due diligence is conducted via calls/meetings or on-site with a Manager. The Firm evaluates
the following items, such as the Manager’s investment process, performance track record, fee
structure, background of personnel, governing documents for the private fund under
consideration, prior investor reporting and any third-party assessments of the Manager.
Each Manager will be reviewed regularly (at least annually) by members of the Investment
Committee. The reviews will consist of, but are not limited to, the evaluation of the Manager’s
performance, reporting, changes in personnel, compliance with investment objectives, and
whether there any material regulatory or legal issues pending or resolved during the review
period.
General Investment Risks
General Economic Conditions. General economic conditions may affect investments made in
client accounts. Interest rates, general levels of economic activity, the price of securities and
participation by other investors in the financial markets may affect the value and number of
investments made or considered for prospective investment.
Illiquid and Long-term Investments. Investment in a privately-held company or private fund may
require a long-term commitment with no certainty of return of capital. Private investments tend to
be highly illiquid. Although some investments may generate current income, the return of capital
and realization of gain, if any, from some investments will occur only upon the partial or complete
disposition or refinancing of those investments.
Uncertain Economic, Social and Political Environment. Consumer, corporate and financial
confidence may be adversely affected by current or future tensions around the world, fear of
terrorist activity and military conflicts, localized or global financial crises or other sources of
5
political, social or economic unrest. Such erosion of confidence may lead to or extend a localized
or global economic downturn. A climate of uncertainty may reduce the availability of potential
investment opportunities, and increase the difficulty of modeling market conditions, potentially
reducing the accuracy of financial projections. In addition, limited availability of credit for
consumers, homeowners and businesses, including credit used to acquire businesses, in an
uncertain environment or economic downturn may have an adverse effect on the economy
generally and on the ability of a Private Fund and its underlying fund’s portfolio companies to
execute their respective strategies and to receive an attractive multiple of earnings on the
disposition of businesses. This may result in longer holding periods for investments and slow the
rate of making future investments. Uncertain economic, social and political conditions may have
an adverse effect on client and Private Fund accounts as well as on underlying funds and their
portfolio companies.
No Market for Interests; Restrictions on Transfers. There will be no public market for the
interests in the Private Funds or in the underlying funds, and none is expected to develop. There
are substantial restrictions upon the transferability of each fund’s interests under the applicable
partnership agreement and applicable securities laws. In general, withdrawals and redemptions
of fund interests are not permitted.
Failure to Make Capital Contributions. If an investor fails to pay when due installments of its
capital commitment to a Private Fund, and the contributions made by non-defaulting investors and
borrowings by a Private Fund are inadequate to cover the defaulted capital contribution, the
Private Fund may be unable to pay its obligations when due. As a result, each Private Fund may
be subjected to significant penalties that could materially adversely affect returns to the investors
(including non-defaulting investors). If an investor defaults, it may be subject to various remedies
as provided in the applicable Private Fund partnership agreement, including, without limitation,
forced sale of the investor’s interest in the Private Fund and bar from future Private Fund
investment opportunities. A Private Fund general partner may, subject to certain limitations,
require additional capital contributions from non-defaulting investors to fund any shortfall caused
by a defaulting investor.
Lack of Operating History; Prior Investment Performance Not Indicative of Future Results.
Although Selby Lane’s investment professionals have extensive experience in investing in private
markets, each Private Fund is a newly formed entity and, accordingly, has no operating history
upon which prospective investors may evaluate its likely performance. The performance of prior
investments by the principals of Selby Lane is not necessarily indicative of future results. While
Selby Lane intends to make investments that have estimated returns commensurate with the risks
undertaken, there can be no assurance that the target returns for a Private Fund will be achieved
or that investors will receive a return of their invested capital.
6
Risks Related to Investments
Manager Risk: While the Firm conducts thorough due diligence on Managers, there can be
unpredictable circumstances that put the investment at risk. The Manager could face issues such
as key personnel changes, litigation, regulatory enforcement, or make unsuccessful investments
in portfolio companies it selects for the underlying fund any of which could materially impact the
performance of the investment.
Private Company Risk. Each Private Fund investment portfolio is expected to consist primarily
of securities issued by other private funds that invest in privately held companies, and operating
results in a specified period will be difficult to predict. Private companies may be in early stages
of growth, and the performance of such companies may be more volatile due to their limited
product lines, markets or financial reserves, their susceptibility to competitors’ actions, or major
economic downturns. The portfolio companies held in the fund in which the Private Funds invest,
may also depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of individuals and, as a
result, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of those individuals could
have a material adverse impact on prospective business opportunities and investments made.
Additionally, some of the private companies may require a significant investment of capital to
support their operations or finance the development of their products or markets and may be
highly leveraged and subject to significant debt service obligations, which could have a material
adverse impact on the performance of the investment.
Non-diversification. Some private fund investments may be concentrated in other private funds
that invest in a relatively small number of companies and industries. Selby Lane’s investment
program will be less diversified than funds investing in a broader range of industries and a greater
number of companies and, therefore, could experience greater volatility than more diversified
funds.
Special Risks Associated with Foreign Investments. The Private Funds may invest in managers
that invest in portfolio companies that are organized, headquartered, or have substantial sales or
operations outside of the United States, its territories, and possessions. Such investments may
be subject to certain additional risks due to, among other things, potentially unsettled points of
applicable governing law, the risks associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates, capital
repatriation regulations, the application of complex U.S. and non-U.S. tax rules to cross-border
investments, possible imposition of non-U.S. taxes, and possible non-U.S. tax return filing
requirements. Additional risks of non-U.S. investments include: (a) economic dislocations in the
host country; (b) less publicly available information; (c) less well-developed and/or more restrictive
laws, regulations, regulatory institutions and judicial systems; (d) greater difficulty of enforcing
legal rights in a non-U.S. jurisdiction; (e) civil disturbances; (f) government instability; and (g)
7
nationalization and expropriation of private assets. Moreover, non-U.S. companies may not be
subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and
requirements comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies.
Material Non-Public Information. Selby Lane and its affiliates may come into possession of
material, non-public information that may be relevant to an investment decision. Consequently,
the Firm may be restricted from initiating a transaction or selling an investment to which the
material, non-public information relates.
Cybersecurity Risk: Selby Lane, the Managers they select for investments and the private
companies owned in the underlying private funds, are subject to operational and information
security risks, including those resulting from cyber-attacks.
Risk of Private Investment Funds. Privately placed investment funds, such as private equity
funds or private pooled vehicles that invest in other private funds are not registered investment
companies and are not subject to the same regulatory reporting or oversight as registered
investment companies. The managers of these funds have broad discretion in selecting
investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments that
may be traded and no requirement to diversify. There are numerous other risks in investing in
private investment funds. Investors should review each fund’s private placement memorandum
and other offering documents to understand the nature of a fund’s risks prior to investing.
Investing in venture capital, growth equity, private equity, and other private asset classes involves
risk of loss, including total loss of invested capital, that investors should be prepared to bear.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would
be material to your evaluation of Selby Lane or the integrity of the Firm’s management. Selby
Lane has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Selby Lane and its management persons are not registered, and do not have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or as a registered representative of a broker-dealer, as a
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or an
associated person of the foregoing entities.
8
Selby Lane is affiliated with the general partners for the Private Funds managed by Selby Lane,
as outlined in each Private Fund’s offering documents.
Other Activities of Principals: Although the principals of Selby Lane collectively intend to devote
most of their time and attention to management of the Private Funds and other Client accounts,
they may in the future organize and manage one or more entities with objectives similar to, or
different from, those of one or more Private Funds or other Client accounts.
Selby Lane employees serve on the board of advisors of other investment managers or advisors.
These arrangements are compensated and can include the opportunity to invest by Selby Lane
employees with the investment managers or advisors. Selby Lane is committed to putting the
interests of its clients first and seeks to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary and contractual
obligations to its clients and applicable laws. Selby Lane reserves the right to prohibit Selby Lane
employees from participating in other activities that present material conflicts of interest.
Selby Lane Digital. Selby Lane’s subsidiary, Selby Lane Digital (“SLD”), which is majority owned
and controlled by Selby Lane, develops technology for client-facing infrastructure. The other
owners of SLD include managers of underlying funds in which certain Private Funds managed by
Selby Lane are or will be invested and those managers also make investments in certain Private
Funds managed by Selby Lane. Selby Lane maintains policies and procedures for performing due
diligence on the investments it makes on behalf of the funds it manages and these funds were
evaluated according to the same standards as any other investment that is made by the Private
Funds.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions, Personal Trading
Selby Lane has adopted a Code of Ethics in accordance with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended (the “Advisers Act”), which applies to all Access Persons of the Firm and describes
its high standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to all clients of Selby Lane. Currently, all
employees of the Firm are deemed Access Persons. The Code of Ethics, in addition to the Firm’s
compliance policies and procedures, includes provisions related to the confidentiality of Client
and Investor information, a prohibition on insider trading, restrictions on and reporting of
significant gifts and business entertainment as well as policies and procedures governing trading
securities in personal accounts. All Access Persons at Selby Lane must acknowledge the terms
of the Code of Ethics upon employment, annually thereafter, and as amended from time to time.
The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and
interests of the Access Persons of Selby Lane will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the
9
best interests of the Private Funds and other Clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while,
at the same time, allowing Access Persons to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code of
Ethics certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a
determination that these would not materially interfere with the best interest of Selby Lane’s
Clients. In addition, the Code of Ethics requires preclearance of transactions involving initial public
offerings, limited offerings, and private placements. Related persons of Selby Lane do invest their
own money in the Private Funds.
Investors or prospective investors may request a copy of the firm’s Code of Ethics by contacting
us at (650) 463-9511.
Side Letters: The Firm may enter into side letters or other similar arrangements with limited
partners that have the effect of establishing or otherwise benefiting such investor in a manner
more favorable than the rights and benefits described in the Private Fund’s offering documents.
Rights and benefits that are more favorable in any material respect may be afforded to a limited
partner based upon its commitment level, for example, and the same favorable rights and benefits
may be extended to other limited partners in accordance with each respective Private Fund’s
offering documents. These rights and benefits include, but are not limited to, most favored nation
status, capacity, investment restrictions, reporting requirements, tax considerations, and other
terms and conditions.
Co-Investments. The Adviser may, in its discretion, but subject to each Private Fund’s governing
documents and side letters, make available co-investment opportunities to certain investors. The
Adviser is not required to offer co-investment opportunities to all investors and may select certain
investors that it deems appropriate for co-investment opportunities. Co-investment opportunities
may be made available through limited partnerships or other entities formed to make such
investments. The Adviser will allocate available investment opportunities among the Private
Funds, any co-investment vehicle and any third parties in accordance with its allocation policy.
Therefore, in the event that a co-investment is a successful investment, any investor that did not
participate in such co-investment will not participate in the profits of such co-investment. The
Adviser has adopted policies and procedures to address co-investment opportunities, in an effort
to offer co-investment opportunities to investors and/or third parties which it believes are suitable
for co-investment opportunities.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selby Lane primarily engages in private investment transactions through investments made in
private funds managed by a third-party manager. In the event Selby Lane engages in public
securities transactions, Selby Lane will use a qualified custodian to hold the Client’s assets, in the
name of the Client, and execute transactions on terms that are overall most advantageous when
10
compared to other available providers and their services. A range of factors would be considered
including:
• Price
• The size of the transaction
• The nature of the market
• Capability to execute, clear and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capabilities to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts quality of services
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability of the provider
Selby Lane does not currently maintain any soft dollar arrangements or any referral arrangements
with broker/dealers. Selby Lane does not accept directed brokerage.
Selby Lane may be presented with investment opportunities that fall within the investment
objective of more than one Private Fund or other advisory client. When two or more clients are
formed to invest on a parallel basis, Selby Lane will allocate investments in accordance with Selby
Lane’s investment allocation policy, subject to any limitations in the applicable Private Fund
offering documents or a Client’s investment advisory agreement. Selby Lane will provide a
summary of its allocation policy to investors upon request. In addition, one or more non-parallel
Private Funds may invest together, subject to limitations set forth in the applicable Private Fund
offering documents. Selby Lane will determine allocations of investment opportunities in a manner
that they believe is fair and equitable consistent with Selby Lane’s obligations to all Clients, as set
forth in the applicable Private Fund offering documents, investment advisory agreements and
Selby Lane’s allocation policy.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Selby Lane’s principals are responsible, and have ultimate authority, for all transactions and
investment decisions made on behalf of the clients. At least quarterly, a Selby Lane principal
reviews Client portfolios to ensure compliance with the stated objectives and restrictions.
Client investments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be reviewed specifically with regard
to certain factors such as significant cash flows or in response to market conditions.
Selby Lane, or its service provider, will furnish each client with written reports pursuant to the
terms set forth in the offering document of each Private Fund or investment advisory agreement.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
11
Selby Lane does not receive any economic benefits from persons other than clients for providing
investment advice or other advisory services to clients. Selby Lane does not currently maintain
any solicitor arrangements.
12
Item 15: Custody
Selby Lane is deemed to have custody of the assets of each Private Fund since it has access to
the Private Fund assets through the affiliated entities who serve as general partner/managing
member to each Private Fund. However, all Client assets and transferable securities are
maintained at independent qualified custodians in accounts registered to the Client or the Private
Fund. Selby Lane will comply with the requirements of the Advisers Act Custody Rule, with regard
to the Custody Rule as a result of affiliates serving as general partner to each Private Fund. Selby
Lane has entered into a written agreement with an independent public accountant to provide
audited financial statements to each Private Fund’s investors within 180 days following the Private
Fund’s fiscal year end. The 180-day deadline is applicable to the Private Funds since each meets
the definition of a fund of funds.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Selby Lane is retained by Private Fund or separate account Clients pursuant to a management
agreement to provide investment advisory services on a discretionary basis. When engaged by a
Client on a discretionary basis, Selby Lane is generally authorized to make all decisions with
respect to purchases and sales of securities, including the quantity and price of the securities to
be bought or sold, as well as the selection of any brokers, dealers, or other service providers to
be used in connection with such transactions. Investments for Clients are managed in accordance
with each Client’s investment objectives, strategies and restrictions. Investments for the Private
Funds are not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular investor in the Private Funds.
Selby Lane does not exercise discretion over its Advisory Consulting Clients assets.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Selby Lane has written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures as required by the Advisers Act. As
part of the Firm’s policies and procedures, Selby Lane will exercise proxy voting authority when
such authority is provided in the operating agreement of a Fund. Selby Lane seeks to vote proxies
in the best interest of each Client.
Selby Lane, or an affiliate thereof, will have voting power with respect to investments made on
behalf of Clients but it is unlikely that any Client would hold any security for which proxies would
be solicited since these are private market investments. If the situation arises, Selby Lane will
monitor for potential conflicts of interest between the Clients’ interests and its own within the proxy
voting process.
13
In order to ensure that Selby Lane is aware of the facts necessary to identify conflicts, senior
management of Selby Lane must disclose to the chief compliance officer any personal conflicts
such as officer or director positions held by them, their spouses or close relatives, in any private
placement. Conflicts based on business relationships with Selby Lane, or any affiliate of Selby
Lane will be considered only to the extent that Selby Lane has actual knowledge of such
relationships. If a conflict may exist which cannot be otherwise addressed, Selby Lane may choose
one of several options including: (i) vote matters that are specifically covered by the Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures in accordance with the policy; or (ii) if possible, erecting information
barriers around the person or persons making the voting decision sufficient to insulate the
decision from the conflict. It is not possible for limited partners to direct votes made by Selby Lane
on behalf of a fund.
Item 18: Financial Information
Selby Lane does not require or solicit prepayment of fees six months or more in advance. Selby
Lane is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to affect its ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients. Selby Lane has never been the subject of
bankruptcy proceedings.
