Item 4.
Advisory Business
Sachem Hill is an independently owned Delaware limited liability company that was organized in
November 2014 as Schoolcraft Capital LLC, and began advising clients in 2015. The firm changed
its name to Sachem Hill in August 2025. It provides independent advice on investment portfolios
and provides access to what it believes are top-tier asset managers from around the world. Its
clients typically include sophisticated, ultra-high-net-worth families and their foundations. It is
also the investment adviser to private investment funds. Sachem Hill’s Managing Partner, sole
owner and portfolio manager is Theodore A. Harris.
Comprehensive Portfolio Management
Sachem Hill tailors its advisory services to clients’ individual needs by providing clients highly
customized advice related to investment policy development, asset allocation and portfolio
construction. Also, it identifies, researches, evaluates, selects and monitors investment managers
across most major global asset classes.
Financial Planning & Consulting
Sachem Hill provides financial planning and consulting services to clients for the management of
financial resources based upon an analysis of their current situation, goals, and objectives.
Financial planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives.
Private Investment Funds
Sachem Hill sponsors and advises private, pooled investment funds. Investment in these funds is
non-discretionary and requires each investor to review the fund’s legal documents and to
complete and execute each fund’s subscription document. These funds offer interests to certain
qualified investors and make investments in private or public companies, or other private
investments, or one or more underlying funds (e.g. hedge funds and private equity funds). For a
complete list and additional information about Sachem Hill private pooled investment vehicles,
refer to our Form ADV Part 1A, Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1) (Private Fund Reporting) available at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Sachem Hill does not offer or sponsor a wrap fee program.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Sachem Hill managed $1,190,841,509 on a discretionary basis and
$39,407,921 on a non-discretionary basis.

Item 5.
Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management
Sachem Hill’s advisory clients generally pay an annual fee of up to a maximum of 0.85% of assets
under management for investment advisory services. The investment advisory fee is based on
assets under management, payable in quarterly installments in arrears at the end of each calendar
quarter. This fee is calculated based on the average net market value of the portfolio during the
quarter. Sachem Hill calculates the average net market value of each client portfolio for the
purpose of calculating the annual fee. Such calculation for a client’s portfolio is available on that
client’s request.
Sachem Hill typically receives advisory fees directly from managed portfolio accounts but at its
discretion may accept a client’s request that it bill the client directly. Each time Sachem Hill
receives a fee payment from such a client account, it does so pursuant to written authorization
from the client and sends the client an invoice specifying and itemizing such fee, including the
formula used to calculate the fee, the amount of assets under management on which the fee is
based, and the period covered by the fee.
Financial Planning & Consulting
Sachem Hill provides financial planning services for an additional fee agreed upon with each
client. The services and the fee for such services are outlined in the client’s Investment Adviser
Agreement, if applicable.
Private Investment Funds
Sachem Hill typically charges an annual management fee of 0.50% for each investment fund,
payable quarterly or monthly in arrears, based on each investor’s capital account balance as of
the last day of that calendar quarter. The funds do not charge this fee to their investors that are
also Sachem Hill’s investment advisory clients. Each investment fund’s administrator calculates
the management fee. Some investment funds that Sachem Hill manages also pay it a carried
interest distribution after investors receive a return of their invested capital and a preferred return.
Other investment funds that Sachem Hill manages allocate to Sachem Hill a performance
allocation equal to a specified percentage of net profits (including both realized and unrealized
gains and losses) otherwise allocable to such investor if such profits exceed a specified hurdle
rate. Performance allocations are assessed in arrears annually and are only applied to the profits
that exceed the cumulative losses previously allocated to such investor. Investors that are also
Sachem Hill’s investment advisory clients do not pay profit allocations. The amount of all private
investment fund fees depends on the fund’s terms and is disclosed to investors in the fund’s
offering documents. Sachem Hill complies with Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, to the extent required by applicable law. Performance allocations create an incentive for
Sachem Hill to make more risky and speculative investments than it would otherwise make.

Other Fees and Expenses
Sachem Hill’s fee does not include fees charged by third-party portfolio managers, investment
funds, account custodians, broker-dealers or other third parties. Trade costs, mutual fund
expenses, investment fund expenses, advisory fees of third-party portfolio managers, etc. are all
additional and separate from our advisory fees.
Clients will incur brokerage transaction charges for trades executed in client brokerage accounts.
These brokerage transaction fees are separate from our fees. All or part of these costs and
expenses may be paid, however, by securities brokerage firms that execute clients’ securities
trades, as discussed in Item 12 below. Also, clients will pay the following separately incurred
expenses, which we do not receive any part of: charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index
fund, exchange traded fund or private investment fund which shall be disclosed in the fund’s
prospectus, private offering memorandum or other constituent documents (i.e., fund
management fees and other fund expenses). Third-party portfolio managers and sub advisors will
also charge clients advisory fees.
The disclosure in this Item 5, together with the disclosure in Item 12, allow a plan that is subject
to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and that invests in a private investment
fund of which Sachem Hill is general partner, to use the “alternative reporting option” to report
Sachem Hill’s compensation as “eligible indirect compensation” on the Schedule C of the plan’s
Form 5500 Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan.
Termination of Relationship
Except as may be otherwise negotiated in particular cases, a client may terminate its relationship
with Sachem Hill by giving 30 days’ prior written notice. In all cases, expenses and the pro rata
portion of Sachem Hill’s fees through the date of termination are charged to the client.
Investors in some of the funds that Sachem Hill manages generally may not withdraw their
investments in such funds until the funds’ investments are sold or otherwise disposed of.
Relationships with other of Sachem Hill’s investment fund clients are terminable on expiration of
the partnership’s term, dissolution of the partnership or on Sachem Hill’s withdrawal as general
partner. Each investor in those funds may withdraw all or part of its capital account balance
attributable to a capital contribution, on specified prior written notice, per the withdrawal
procedures outlined in each fund’s offering documents.

Item 6.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Sachem Hill manages portfolios that pay performance-based compensation, such as some of the
private investment funds, and portfolios that do not. Investments in funds that pay performance-
based fees are non-discretionary and require each investor review the fund’s legal documents and
to complete and execute each fund’s subscription document. These two types of portfolios
typically do not invest in the same types of instruments because they have different investment
objectives. Sachem Hill does, however, have a conflict of interest over the amount of time it
allocates to the portfolios that it manages. In addition, portfolios that pay performance
compensation may pay Sachem Hill more overall. That compensation also receives more
favorable tax treatment than the fees paid by portfolios that do not pay performance
compensation. Therefore, Sachem Hill has an incentive to allocate more time to portfolios that
pay performance compensation. To address this conflict, Sachem Hill discloses it and has
adopted policies and procedures governing the amount of time that it allocates to its various client
portfolios and funds. These policies and procedures are further described in Item 11.
Item 7.
Types of Clients
Sachem Hill provides investment advice to families and their foundations. It generally requires a
minimum of $10,000,000 to establish an advisory relationship. It also manages private
investment funds that typically require a minimum investment of $250,000. Sachem Hill may
waive these minimums.

Item 8.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investment Strategy
Generally, Sachem Hill prefers to take a passive investment management approach for
traditional asset classes in largely efficient, liquid markets (such as US large cap stocks), as it
believes investors benefit from the relatively lower cost and tax-efficient nature of these
investments. In these areas, Sachem Hill will typically use investment vehicles such as exchange
traded funds or mutual funds to gain broadly diversified exposure to global equities and fixed
income securities. In general, it does not advise clients on individual stocks or bonds, except for
concentrated positions and their impact on overall asset allocation, but it may provide advice on
individual stocks and bonds on request.
In less efficient asset classes, including, but not limited to, private equity, venture capital,
distressed debt, natural resources, and real estate, Sachem Hill seeks active managers that it
believes are skilled in exploiting opportunities and executing strategies that can further diversify
a portfolio and compound capital over time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Sachem Hill
is authorized to enter into any type of investment transaction that it deems appropriate under the
terms of a client’s investment advisory agreement and investment policy statement.
The investment strategies summarized above represent Sachem Hill’s current intentions, are
general in nature and are not exhaustive. There are no limits on the types of securities in which
Sachem Hill may take positions on behalf of its clients, the types of positions that it may take, the
concentration of its investments or the amount of leverage that it may use. Sachem Hill may use
any trading or investment techniques, whether or not contemplated by the expected investment
strategies described above. In addition, there are limitations in describing any investment strategy
due to its complexity, confidentiality and indefinite nature. Depending on conditions and trends
in securities markets and the economy generally, Sachem Hill may pursue any objectives or use
any techniques that it considers appropriate and in clients’ interest.
Risk Factors
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients and investors should be prepared to bear.
Such risk could materially and adversely affect performance and could cause investors to not
achieve their investment strategy or lose substantial amounts of money. Sachem Hill, its affiliates
and agents, and the investment advisers that Sachem Hill recommends, generally are not
responsible to any client or investor for losses incurred in an account unless the conduct resulting
in such loss breached a fiduciary duty to the client or investor. A potential client should discuss
with Sachem Hill’s representatives any questions that such person has before opening an
account.
Risks associated with assets held in portfolio accounts include, but are not limited to: general
economic climate, unpredictable investor sentiment, poor quality of management, missed
earnings expectations, liquidity risk, diversification risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, volatility
Sachem Hillcapital.com

risk, mark-to-market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, government regulations, political risk,
global crises (such as pandemics and geopolitical instability) and taxation risk.
Additionally, Sachem Hill, or an investment adviser it recommends, may in engage in one or more
of the following activities which entail greater and additional risk:
• hedging, which may reduce profits, increase expenses, and cause greater losses;
• selling securities short, resulting in a theoretically unlimited risk of loss;
• selling covered and/or uncovered options, resulting in a theoretically unlimited risk of loss;
• using leverage, which increases risk and involves instruments that can be difficult to value;
•
and
investing in restricted securities that are subject to long holding periods or not traded in
public markets, which increases liquidity risk.
Risks associated with the investment strategies of private investment funds are outlined in the
offering and governing documents of each private investment fund. Investors should review these
documents thoroughly before choosing to invest.
If any of these risks are unclear, then the client should ask a Sachem Hill representative to provide
additional detail and/or explanation.
Item 9.
Disciplinary Information
Sachem Hill has no legal or disciplinary events to report.
Item 10.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Sachem Hill acts as a commodity pool operator for some of its investment funds but is exempt
from registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Item 11.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Sachem Hill has adopted a Code of Ethics in compliance with rule 204A-1 under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, that establishes standards of conduct for its supervised persons. The Code
of Ethics includes general requirements that those supervised persons comply with their fiduciary
obligations to clients and applicable securities laws, and specific requirements relating to, among
other things, personal trading, insider trading, conflicts of interest and confidentiality of client
information. It requires supervised persons to comply with personal trading restrictions and
periodically to report their personal securities transactions and holdings to Sachem Hill’s
Compliance Officer, and requires the Compliance Officer to review those reports. It also requires
supervised persons to report any violations of the Code of Ethics promptly to the Compliance
Officer. Each supervised person of Sachem Hill receives a copy of the Code of Ethics and any
amendments to it and must acknowledge in writing having received those materials. Annually,
each supervised person must certify that he or she complied with the Code of Ethics during the
preceding year. Clients and prospective clients may obtain a copy of Sachem Hill’s Code of Ethics
by contacting Sachem Hill.
Under the Code of Ethics, Sachem Hill and its managers, members and employees may personally
invest in securities of the same classes as Sachem Hill purchases for or recommends to clients
and may own securities of issuers whose securities Sachem Hill subsequently purchases for or
recommends to clients. This practice creates a conflict of interest in that any of such persons can
use his or her knowledge about actual or proposed securities transactions and recommendations
for a client to profit personally by the market effect of such transactions and recommendations.
To address this conflict, except as described in Item 12 regarding aggregating securities
transactions, if Sachem Hill purchases or sells a security for clients and any of Sachem Hill and its
managers, members and employees on the same day, either the clients and Sachem Hill and its
managers, members and employees pay or receive the same price, or the clients receive the more
favorable price. Sachem Hill and its managers, members and employees may also buy or sell
specific securities for their own accounts based on personal investment considerations aside from
company or industry fundamentals, that Sachem Hill does not believe appropriate to buy or sell
for clients.
There are conflicts of interest over Sachem Hill’s time devoted to managing any one account and
allocating investment opportunities among all of its accounts. For example, Sachem Hill selects
investments for and advises each client based solely on investment considerations for that client.
Different clients have differing investment strategies and expected levels of trading. Sachem Hill
may buy or sell a security, or recommend an investment or investment adviser for one type of
client but not for another, or may buy (or sell) a security for one type of client while simultaneously
selling (or buying) the same security for another type of client. Sachem Hill may give advice to,
and take action on behalf of, any of its clients that differs from the advice that it gives or the timing
or nature of action that it takes on behalf of any other client. Sachem Hill is not obligated to acquire
Sachem Hillcapital.com
11
for any account any security that Sachem Hill or its managers, members or employees may
acquire for its or their own accounts or for any other client.
Item 12.
Brokerage Practices
Sachem Hill is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with any broker-dealer.
Sachem Hill generally has discretion in selecting the broker that it uses for client transactions and
the commission rates that clients pay such brokers. This discretion may be limited by a client’s
investment policy or a client’s direction that Sachem Hill use a particular broker.
Based on a number of factors, including custodial fees, execution quality, transaction costs and
adviser trading platform, among others, Sachem Hill recommends (but does not require) that
clients choose Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC (“Pershing”), Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), or Fidelity Brokerage Services (“Fidelity”) to maintain custody of their assets and to
effect trades for their accounts. Not all investment advisers recommend that their clients select a
particular custodian.
Schwab, Pershing and Fidelity generally do not charge Sachem Hill client accounts that they hold
in custody separately for custody services but are compensated by charging commissions or other
fees on trades that they execute or that settle into clients’ Schwab, Pershing, or Fidelity accounts,
as applicable. Each of Schwab’s, Pershing’s and Fidelity’s commission rates were negotiated
based on Sachem Hill’s commitment to maintain a certain amount of its clients’ assets at that
firm. Sachem Hill believes that this commitment benefits clients because the overall commission
rates clients pay Schwab, Pershing and Fidelity are lower than they would be if Sachem Hill had
not made the commitment. In addition to commissions, Schwab, Pershing and Fidelity charge
clients a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that Sachem
Hill executes by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the
securities sold are deposited (settled) into clients’ Schwab, Pershing or Fidelity account, as
applicable. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation clients pay the
executing broker. Therefore, to minimize the trading costs of client accounts held at Schwab,
Pershing and Fidelity, Sachem Hill has Schwab execute most trades for accounts held at Schwab,
Pershing execute most trades for accounts held at Pershing, and Fidelity execute most trades for
accounts held at Fidelity. If a security that Sachem Hill believes is appropriate to purchase for a
client account is not available through Schwab, Pershing or Fidelity, however, Sachem Hill may
use another broker to execute that transaction. By using Schwab, Pershing, and Fidelity to
execute client brokerage transactions in this manner, Sachem Hill may not be able to achieve the
most favorable execution for certain client transactions, and this practice may cost clients more
money than if Sachem Hill were to select other brokers for those transactions. In addition, not all
investment advisers direct client brokerage to clients’ custodians in this manner.
When Sachem Hill has discretion to select brokers, in selecting a broker for any transaction or
series of transactions, Sachem Hill considers a number of factors, including, for example:
Sachem Hillcapital.com
12
• special execution capabilities;
• willingness to execute related or unrelated difficult transactions in the future; willingness
to commit capital; knowledge of buyers and sellers;
financial strength and stability;
the availability of stocks to borrow for short trades.
• block trading and block positioning capabilities;
• efficiency of execution and error resolution;
• order of call;
• offering to Sachem Hill on-line access to computerized data regarding clients’ accounts;
• computer trading systems;
• clearance, settlement and reputation;
•
• quotation services; and
•
Sachem Hill may pay to a broker commissions and mark-ups that exceed those that another
broker might charge for effecting the same transaction because of the value of the brokerage and
other services that such broker provides. Sachem Hill does not have formal soft dollar
arrangements. Sachem Hill determines in good faith that such compensation is reasonable in
relation to the value of such brokerage and other services, in terms of either the specific
transaction or Sachem Hill’s overall fiduciary duty to its clients. An account may, however, pay
higher commissions and mark-ups than are otherwise available or may pay more commissions or
mark-ups based on account trading activity.
Sachem Hill annually evaluates the trade execution services that it receives from the brokers that
it uses to execute trades for clients. Such evaluation includes comparing those services to the
services available from other brokers. Sachem Hill considers, among other things, its duty to
protect clients’ best interests, alternative market makers and market centers, the quality of
execution services, the value of continuing with various soft dollar services and adding or removing
brokers, increasing or decreasing targets for each broker and the appropriate level of commission
rates.
Sachem Hill aggregates securities sale and purchase orders for a client with similar orders being
made contemporaneously for other accounts that it manages or with accounts of its affiliates. In
such event, Sachem Hill directs the custodian to charge or credit a client the average transaction
price of all securities purchased or sold in such transactions. As a result, however, the price may
be less favorable to the client than it would be if Sachem Hill were not executing similar
transactions concurrently for other accounts. Sachem Hill may also cause a client to buy or sell
securities directly from or to another client, if such a cross-transaction is in the interests of both
clients.
If a client directs Sachem Hill to use a specific broker, Sachem Hill has not negotiated the terms
and conditions (including, among others, commission rates) relating to the services provided by
such broker. Sachem Hill is not responsible for obtaining from any such broker the best prices or
commission rates. A client that directs Sachem Hill to use a specific broker may not be able to
participate in aggregated securities transactions and may trade after such transactions and
Sachem Hillcapital.com
13
receive less favorable pricing and execution. The client may pay higher commissions and mark-
ups than it would pay if Sachem Hill had discretion to select brokers other than those that the
client chooses.
Sachem Hillcapital.com

Item 13.
Review of Accounts
All portfolio accounts are reviewed at least quarterly by each client’s client adviser. Those reviews
take into account asset allocation, cash management, the prospects of individual investments,
market outlook and prices. Each client receives a written quarterly report stating performance for
the quarter and other relevant periods, as well as a summary of the investment environment.
Investors in the private investment funds receive a quarterly capital account statement directly
from the funds’ administrator.
Item 14.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Sachem Hill does not engage solicitors.
Item 15.
Custody
Under the SEC’s custody rule applicable to investment advisers (the “Custody Rule”), Sachem
Hill is deemed to have custody of clients’ assets. In compliance with the Custody Rule, clients’
funds and securities are held by a qualified custodian. Each client’s custodian sends account
statements at least quarterly to the client. Each client should carefully review those statements
and compare them with the statements the client receives directly from Sachem Hill.
Sachem Hill is also deemed to have custody of its investment funds’ assets. In accordance with
the Custody Rule, a qualified custodian is not required to deliver quarterly account statements to
any fund or its investors as long as the fund’s financial statements are (i) audited annually by an
independent accounting firm that is registered with, and subject to regular examination by, the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (ii) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and (iii)
distributed to investors in the private investment fund within 120 days of fiscal year end, or 180
days of fiscal year end for fund of funds, and promptly after liquidation.
Sachem Hillcapital.com

Item 16.
Investment Discretion
Sachem Hill has discretionary authority to manage portfolio accounts on behalf of clients pursuant
to a limited power of attorney detailed in each client’s investment adviser agreement and in the
partnership agreement of each private investment fund.
For portfolio accounts, such discretion is limited by the requirement that clients advise Sachem
Hill of the portfolio’s investment objectives, any changes to those objectives, and any investment
restrictions relating to the portfolio.
A client must promptly notify Sachem Hill in writing if the client considers any investments
recommended or made for the portfolio to violate the portfolio’s objectives or restrictions. A client
may at any time direct Sachem Hill to sell any securities or take such other lawful actions as the
client may specify to comply with the client’s investment objectives. In addition, a client may notify
Sachem Hill at any time not to invest any funds in the portfolio in specific securities or specific
categories of securities.
Item 17.
Voting Client Securities
Sachem Hill votes all proxies on behalf of each account over which it has proxy voting authority
based on its determination of such portfolio’s best interests. In determining whether a proposal
serves a portfolio’s best interests, Sachem Hill considers a number of factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
the proposal’s economic effect on shareholder value;
the threat that the proposal poses to existing rights of shareholders;
the dilution of existing shares that would result from the proposal;
the effect of the proposal on management or director accountability to shareholders; and
if the proposal is a shareholder initiative, whether it wastes time and resources of the
company or reflects the grievance of one individual.
Sachem Hill abstains from voting proxies when Sachem Hill believes that it is appropriate.
If a material conflict of interest over proxy voting arises between Sachem Hill and a client, Sachem
Hill will vote all proxies in accordance with the policy described above. If Sachem Hill determines
that this policy does not adequately address the conflict of interest, it will notify the client of the
conflict and request that the client consent to its intended response to the proxy solicitation. If the
client fails to respond to the notice within a reasonable time specified in the notice, Sachem Hill
will vote the proxy as described in the notice. If the client objects in writing to Sachem Hill’s
intended response, it will vote the proxy as the client directs.
Sachem Hillcapital.com

A client can obtain a copy of Sachem Hill’s proxy voting policy and a record of votes cast on behalf
of that client by contacting Sachem Hill.
Item 18.
Financial Information
Sachem Hill has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients, and it has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
Item 19.
