General

Maintaining the confidentiality of the personal information of our current and prospective investors is one of our highest priorities.  Set forth below is the type of personal information we collect with respect to our current and prospective investors, how that information is used by us, and how we protect your personal information.

HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

1. Collection.

Personal information may be collected from you in order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.  Information may be collected from any of the following sources:

a. From You:  We collect information from you when you enter into a subscription agreement with a fund we manage.  We may also collect information from investor questionnaires, W-9’s and other applications or forms that you complete.  This information may include items such as your name, address, e-mail address, social security number, birth date, annual income, net worth, marital status, and investment risk tolerance. If you indicate you have a spouse or partner, his/her personal and financial account information may also be requested.

b. From Transactions: If you invest in a fund managed by us, we keep records relating to your interest in the fund.

c. From our Web Site:  As we noted above, we may track the amount of time you spend on our website, the parts of our website you visited and other technical information. We use this information to improve the functionality of our website.

2. Use of personal information

Your personal information is collected and maintained by us so that we may fulfill our legal and regulatory requirements.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not, and do not intend, to sell or disclose personal information about current or former investors to nonaffiliated third parties except as set forth below.  If in the future this policy changes you will be notified and provided with an opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.  We may share your personal information as follows:

  1. We will reveal or share your personal information where the law requires it, such as for tax reporting purposes or pursuant to a court order, in response to lawful requests by government agencies, or to otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulations.
  2. We may reveal or share your personal information with our affiliates.  Our affiliates include, for example, investment funds that we manage and over which we have control.
  3. We may reveal or share your personal information with unaffiliated service providers such as brokers, fund administrators and transfer agents in connection with distributions or other transactions.  Your personal information may also be provided to attorneys, accountants or auditors in order to enable us to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
  4. We reserve the right to reveal, share or transfer any personal information we have about you in connection with a prospective or actual sale, merger, transfer or other reorganization of all or parts of our business (including in the event of a divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation).
  5. We may provide your information to an organization through a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction.
  6. With your consent.

PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our employees may, from time to time, have access to your personal information in order to provide services to you.  All employees are subject to these terms. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no security system can ever guarantee security, and you should remain vigilant regarding the disclosure of your personal information.
