ITEM 4 – ADVISORY SERVICES
A. Firm Information
Sepio was formed in 2017 and is a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Sepio is organized as a limited
partnership under the laws of Delaware. Sepio is owned by Roger A. Carter, Joshua R. Carter, Donald (Brad)
Edgren, John Beatson, Hansen Ringer, and Mitchell Rencher who are Sepio’s managers, and Sepio Capital
Holdings, LLC.
The Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding our qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Sepio.
B. Advisory Services Offered
We offer investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, businesses, retirement plans, institutional investors, pooled investment vehicles, special purpose
vehicles (SPV) and registered investment companies (each referred to as a “Client” or together, “Clients”).
We serve as a fiduciary to our Clients, as defined under applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, we uphold
a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seek to mitigate conflicts of interest.
Investment Advisory Services
We provide customized investment advisory solutions for our Clients. This is achieved through continuous Client
contact while providing discretionary investment management, financial planning and related advisory services. We
typically offer these services as a bundled advisory engagement but may offer them individually. We work closely
with each Client to develop an investment strategy that seeks to achieve the goals of the Client.
We primarily utilize proprietary investment strategies and/or unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms
(collectively “Independent Managers”) to customize Client portfolios based on the Client’s specific situation.
Proprietary Strategies – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, we will recommend to Clients, based on
their specific needs, that all or a portion of their investment portfolio be implemented by utilizing our proprietary
strategies. The proprietary strategies are primarily constructed utilizing mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual stocks and bonds, and when appropriate, digital assets. We may also utilize other types of
investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each particular Client. Additionally, we may retain legacy
securities positions due to portfolio fit and tax considerations. We may also allocate a portion of your portfolio to
our proprietary pooled investment vehicles, including our private funds and ETFs, or a combination of both. There
is an inherent conflict of interest when recommending your assets be allocated to our proprietary products because
we will receive additional fees from the management of such products. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that
Clients are not obligated to invest in any of our proprietary products.
We evaluate and select investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying our internal due diligence
process, which includes, but is not limited to, determining fair value of securities, assessing fundamental
momentum and determining risk management parameters for each security in a portfolio. Our investment strategies
are primarily long-term focused, but we may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than
one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
All Client assets will be managed within their designated separately held account[s] at the Custodians, pursuant
to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. This means that your assets are not pooled with other Client
assets at the Custodians of record. All private fund assets are maintained by a qualified custodian. For additional
information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Assets of Clients who are invested in Private Funds or
SPVs are pooled with the assets of other investors.
Retirement Accounts – When we provide investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or
3
individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), we are acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are
laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, we will provide investment
advice to Clients regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA or
recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored plan to another, one IRA to
another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to a fee-based
account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if we earn a new (or increase its current) advisory
fee as a result of the transaction. No Client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account
managed by us.
Use of Independent Managers - We may also recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio
be implemented by utilizing one or more Independent Managers. In such instances, the Client may be required to
authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which
the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. We may also assist in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. We perform initial
and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent
Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best
interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment
platform[s], will be provided with the Independent Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A (or a brochure that makes the
appropriate disclosures and describes the fees and expenses associated with investing with the Independent
Manager).
Digital Assets – We will assist interested Clients with establishing a digital currency account through Fidelity Digital
Asset Services, LLC (“FDAS”). FDAS is a platform for Digital Assets which Sepio offers as a possible portfolio
management diversification strategy for Clients that express an interest in exposure to digital assets. “Digital Asset”
shall mean a digital asset (also called a “cryptocurrency,” “virtual currency,” “digital currency,” or “digital commodity”),
such as bitcoin, which is based on the cryptographic protocol of a computer network that may be (i) centralized or
decentralized, (ii) closed or open-source, and (iii) used as a medium of exchange and/or store of value. Clients will
establish a Digital Asset account and transfer funds into an account opened on the FDAS platform.
Sub-Advisory Services
Sepio provides sub-advisory services to registered investment companies (herein the “Registered Funds”). We
are responsible for selecting the investments for the Registered Funds in accordance with the Registered Funds’
objectives, policies and restrictions. We construct the overall portfolios and provide trading instructions to the
unaffiliated investment adviser of the Registered Funds. For more detailed information on investment
objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the Registered Funds’ prospectus as filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Private Fund Advisor Services
We serve as the investment manager to pooled investment vehicles (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”)
and SPVs. These services are detailed in the offering documents for each Fund or SPV, which include, as
applicable, operating agreements, private placement memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements,
separate disclosure documents, and all amendments thereto (“Offering Documents”).
The Funds and SPVs are deemed to be Clients of Sepio. We manage each Fund and SPV based on the
investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth in the respective Offering Documents and not in
accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor
interested in investing in a Fund or SPV is required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective
investor attests as to whether or not he or she meets the qualifications to invest in the Fund or SPV and further
acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors associated with such an investment.
In general, investors in the Funds and SPVs are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. However, we
may enter into side letter agreements with one or more investors that may alter, modify, or change the terms of
interest held by investors. Certain types of side letters create a conflict of interest between Sepio and the investors
4
in the Fund or SPV, and/or between investors themselves.
For more detailed information on investment objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the respective
Fund’s or SPV’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
We also provide strategic planning and consulting services to Clients as part of the investment advisory
engagement or as a separate engagement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals, objectives and financial needs. Services are tailored to the unique needs of the Client.
Strategic planning and consulting engagements may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not
limited to, the needs of individuals and families, such as strategic investment planning, spending policy analysis,
budgeting and cash flow planning, charitable giving, tax planning, insurance analysis and other financial matters.
For institutions, consulting services may include outsourced Chief Investment Officer services, investment policy
development, manager due diligence and other advisory services.
At times, we may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, affiliated or third-party Trust company or other
specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. In instances where we refer Clients to our affiliated Trust
Company, there is a revenue sharing agreement in place whereby Sepio Trust Company shares revenue with
Sepio Capital based on the underlying scope of work. We do not receive compensation for referrals to non-
affiliated entities.
For certain financial planning engagements, we will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, we may not provide a written
summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all
information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Strategic planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of Sepio and the
interests of a Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by us or maintain an
ongoing relationship with us. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by us, the Client is
under no obligation to implement the transaction through Sepio.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We provide advisory services on behalf of retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”).
Our retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations
to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor.
Services generally include:
● Vendor Analysis
● Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
●
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
●
Investment Management
● Performance Reporting
● Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
● ERISA 404(c) Assistance
● Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Sepio serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
5
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan
Sponsor is provided with a written description of Sepio’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and
all direct and indirect compensation we reasonably expect under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging us to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
advisory agreements with us that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of Sepio and the
Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – We, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy targeted
to achieve the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – We will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk of each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – We will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – We will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s portfolio.
● Strategic Planning and Consulting – For Clients engaging for investment advisory services, we provide
ongoing strategic planning and related services regarding the Client’s overall financial situation.
D. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we managed $4,464,814,589 in Client assets, of which $3,827,796,801 was managed
on a discretionary basis, and $637,017,787 was managed on a non-discretionary basis.

ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
The following paragraphs detail our fee structure and compensation methodology. Each Client shall enter into one
or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Sepio and the Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees are paid monthly, in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the investment
advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of all assets under management at
the end of the prior month. Investment advisory fees typically range from 0.50% to 1.00%, depending on the size
of the relationship, the complexity of the services to be provided, reporting requirements and/or the investment
strategies for the account[s].
The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account. Certain
Clients may have a fixed annual fee or fixed rate fee that differs from the range above. Additionally, certain legacy
Clients may pay investment advisory fees quarterly. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate
assets under management with us. Investment advisory fees include financial planning and consulting services,
unless separately engaged for financial planning and consulting. We will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodians’ valuations.
Use of Independent Managers – As noted in Item 4, we will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, we do not earn any
compensation from an Independent Manager. We will only earn our investment advisory fee as described above.
Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will
reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The
terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable
contract[s] with the Independent Manager.
Sub-Advisory Services
The Registered Fund’s fee is 0.71% based on the Registered Funds’ average daily net assets. For its services,
the investment adviser of the Registered Funds pays us the net of the fee received less the Registered Funds’
operating expenses. For more detailed information on advisory fees, please refer to the Registered Funds’
prospectus as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Private Fund /SPV Advisor Services
Fees for the Funds and SPVs are paid quarterly pursuant to the terms of the Funds’ or SPVs’ operating
agreements and subscription documents. We may charge an investment management fee at an annual rate of up
to 2.00%. Additionally, the Funds and SPV may charge performance-based fees as outlined in Item 6 below. For
more detailed information on the fees and compensation received by the Sepio and its affiliates, please
refer to the respective Fund or SPV Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
If provided as a separate engagement, strategic planning and consulting services are offered on a fixed fee basis.
Fees may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate for
total costs will be determined prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.00%, billed monthly
in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement plan advisory fees are based on
the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior month. Fees may be negotiable depending
on the size and complexity of the Plan.
7
Sepio Trust Company
Where Sepio Capital serves as investment advisor to a trust administered by Sepio Trust Company, the client will
be charged a single consolidated trustee fee by Sepio Trust Company. This consolidated fee encompasses both
the trust administration services provided by Sepio Trust Company and the investment advisory services provided
by Sepio Capital. Sepio Trust Company remits the investment advisory portion of the consolidated fee to Sepio
Capital pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement between Sepio Capital and Sepio Trust
Company. Clients should be aware that because Sepio Capital’s compensation is paid from the consolidated
trustee fee, the total cost of trust and advisory services may differ from the investment advisory fee that would
otherwise be charged under a standalone advisory engagement. The specific terms of the fee arrangement,
including the allocation between trust administration and investment advisory services, are set forth in the
applicable investment advisory agreement and trust documents. For additional information regarding the affiliation
between Sepio Capital and Sepio Trust Company, please see Item 10.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by us and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodians. The
amount due is calculated by applying the monthly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days in the year,
multiplied by the number of days in the month) to the total assets under management with us at the end of the
prior month. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodians reflecting deduction
of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on
the Custodians’ brokerage statement as the Custodians does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide
written authorization permitting us to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodians as part of the
investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodians.
Use of Independent Managers – For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s
overall fees will include our investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or
platform fees charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent
Manager or Sepio may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s
account[s]. Please refer to the Independent Managers’ Form ADV for a complete disclosure of the fees and
expenses associated with the Independent Managers.
Sub-Advisory Services
For its services, the investment adviser of the Registered Funds pay us a fee, which is calculated daily and paid
monthly, based on the Registered Funds’ average daily net assets. For more detailed information on the fee
methodology, please refer to the Registered Funds’ prospectus as filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Private Fund Advisor Services
The amount due to us for management of the Funds is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate
divided by the number of days in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the quarter) to the net invested
capital or net asset value, pursuant to the operating agreements and subscription documents. For more detailed
information on the fee methodology, please refer to the respective Fund’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
Strategic planning and consulting fees are invoiced upon receipt of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain additional fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made
8
by us on behalf of the Client’s account[s].
As of May 1, 2025 the investment advisory fee shall not include securities transaction fees charged by the
custodian. With the change in the billing process, Clients shall be responsible for securities transaction fees.
Securities transaction fees may be billed to the Client by Independent Managers based on the fee methodology
and agreements with the respective manager.
In addition, all fees paid to Sepio for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses generally cover management fees, administration (e.g.,
custody, brokerage, reporting), and possible distribution fees. Many mutual funds charge an early redemption fee.
The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Sepio to fully understand
the total fees to be paid.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Investors in the Funds may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Funds. The Funds [and indirectly investors] are responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodians and executing broker-dealer, if applicable. The fees charged by
underlying investments are also indirectly included in the value of an Investor’s account. Additional details
regarding management fees and performance allocations are included in the Funds’ Operating
Agreements and Confidential Private Placement Memorandum.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Advisory Services
We are compensated for our investment advisory services in advance of each month in which services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. Upon termination, we will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid fees to the Client. The
Client’s investment advisory agreement with us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers – In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with an
Independent Manager, we will either assist the Client in transitioning assets to a different affiliated and/or
unaffiliated manager, or the terms for termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client
and those third parties.
Sub-Advisory Services
The terms for terminating the sub-advisory agreement between the investment adviser and Sepio are outlined in
the sub-advisory agreement.
Private Fund Services
We are compensated in advance of the quarter in which private fund services are rendered. If an investor
withdraws from a Fund, we will refund any unearned portion of any advance payment back to the Fund. For more
detailed information on the fees and compensation received by Sepio and its affiliates, please refer to the
respective Fund’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
We are compensated for our strategic planning and consulting services upon completion of the engagement
deliverable[s]. Either party may terminate the strategic planning and consulting agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for fees based
on the percentage of the engagement completed. The Client’s strategic planning and consulting agreement with
us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We are compensated for our retirement plan advisory services in advance of each month in which services are
9
rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. Upon termination, we will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory
fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the month. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement
with us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
10
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Performance-Based Fees
In specific investment strategies or Client situations, we will receive a performance fee based upon specific gains
obtained in the accounts of “Qualified Clients,” as defined in Item 7 below, pursuant to the terms of the investment
advisory agreement. Performance-based fees are in addition to the investment advisory fee described in Item 5
above.
For Funds and SPVs subject to performance-based fees, at the end of each fiscal year, the capital appreciation
in the Client’s account[s] will be calculated by us. If the appreciation exceeds a predetermined benchmark or
absolute rate, the Client will be charged an additional performance-based fee.
In other circumstances, a performance-based fee engagement can be entered into to allow for the charging of an
annual percentage of capital appreciation of such Qualified Client’s Gross Assets, subject to certain terms, such
as a high-water mark or hurdle rate, of any gains in the Client account during the preceding year. The terms for
the Client specific performance-based fee engagement will be set forth in each Qualified Clients’ investment
advisory agreement.
Certain of our Funds charge performance-based fees pursuant to the terms of the Offering Documents. Clients
should refer to the respective Offering Documents of each Fund for a complete listing of fees and expenses
associated with investing in our Funds.
Clients should understand that certain conflicts of interest exist due to performance-based fee arrangements, which
include the fact that it creates a financial incentive for us to make investments that are more risky or more
speculative than might otherwise be the case in the absence of such arrangement. To mitigate the conflict, the
performance-based fees are structured so that certain performance hurdles must be met in order to receive the
fee. Importantly, as part of our fiduciary duty, we must act in the best interest of our Clients.
Side-By-Side Management
Regarding side-by-side management, we receive different types of fees, such as asset-based and performance-
based fees. Managing Clients that are charged different types of fees creates conflicts of interest between us and
our Clients, in addition to the ones listed above. For example, charging performance- based fees could incentivize
us to allocate more favorable investments to those Clients being charged a performance-based fee. We have
adopted and implemented policies and procedures intended to address conflicts of interest relating to the
management of multiple types of Clients, including Clients with multiple fee arrangements, and the allocation of
investment opportunities.
11
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
We offer investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, businesses, retirement plans, institutional investors, pooled investment vehicles and registered
investment companies. We do not impose a size constraint for establishing a relationship but do tailor our services
to high-net-worth individuals. Additionally, the Funds have minimum investments that vary based on different
strategies ranging up to $250,000.
Private Fund and SPV Advisor Services
Generally, the investors in the Funds or SPVs meet the definition of “accredited investor” as defined in the Securities
Act of 1933 and “qualified client” as defined in the Advisers Act. The various requirements for investing in a Fund
or SPV, including the minimum investment size, are set forth in each Fund or SPV’s Offering Documents. We
have the ability, in our sole discretion, to permit commitments below the minimum amounts set forth in the
Offering Documents.
12
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
A. Methods of Analysis
We primarily employ fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for our Clients. Our research and
analysis are derived from numerous sources, but principally consist of company financial statements and filings,
including annual reports, quarterly reports, earnings reports, earnings call transcripts, prospectuses, press
releases, and investor presentations.
Fundamental analysis utilizes reported financial results and the modeling of company specific financial projections
that may be generated from the ongoing operation of the business to estimate a business or asset’s intrinsic value.
We primarily focus on reported and projected free cash flow over an intermediate to long-term horizon. In addition
to free cash flow, we analyze historical and estimated earnings, sales and profitability measures to determine the
potential attractiveness of a company or asset’s valuation. These criteria generally consist of ratios and trends that
may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. While this type of analysis helps
us in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets
meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have a negative
investment performance. We monitor these fundamental indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic asset
allocations are appropriate. More details on our review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of
Accounts.
As noted above, we generally employ a long-term investment approach for our Clients, consistent with their
financial goals and risk profiles. We will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may
hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
we may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or
the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. Clients should be prepared to bear
that risk. We will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other
factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that Clients will meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account[s]. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. We shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their
designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It
is the responsibility of the Client to inform us of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may
affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
We will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
Following are some of the risks associated with our investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
13
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Private Collective Investment Vehicle Risks
We recommend that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds,
private equity funds, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad discretion in selecting the investments.
There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments that may be traded and no
requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially
increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies,
they are much less regulated than investment companies. There are numerous other risks in investing in these
securities. Clients should consult each fund’s private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining
such risks prior to investing.
Digital Assets
Digital Assets, and the use of virtual currencies to buy and sell goods and services, are relatively new and rapidly
evolving concepts. Once a transaction is recorded, that transaction is theoretically immutable and cannot be
reversed due to the cryptographic nature of the recordkeeping and the decentralized nature of the network.
Additionally, the growth of Digital Assets in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting
their further development, include (i) their continued worldwide growth, adoption and use; (ii) government and
quasi-government regulation of the use, creation and offering of Digital Assets, as well as restrictions on and
regulation related to the operation of and access to a Digital Asset’s network; (iii) changes in consumer
demographics and public tastes and preferences; (iv) the maintenance and development of the open-source
software protocol of a Digital Asset’s network; (v) the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying
and selling goods and services, including new means of using Digital Assets; and (vi) general economic conditions
and the regulatory environment relating to Digital Assets. If Digital Assets were deemed “centralized” and found to
be securities they may not be easily transferred and may lose their value due to an inability to transfer such Digital
Assets unless any transfer complies with applicable securities law exemptions.
The price of Digital Assets is affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand, the
expected future prices, inflation expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates, fiat currency withdrawal and
deposit policies at cryptocurrency exchanges, interruptions in service or failures of major cryptocurrency
exchanges, investment and trading activities of large investors, monetary policies of governments, regulatory
measures that restrict the use of cryptocurrencies, global political, economic, or financial events. Pricing also might
be influenced by efforts at market manipulation by certain participants. Drastic or even gradual changes in price of
cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency derivatives could materially affect the value of the Client’s Digital Assets.
Leveraged and Inverse ETF Risks
Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors
who understand leverage risk, and consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to
actively monitor and manage their investments. Leveraged ETFs are not designed to track the underlying index
over periods longer than one trading day. The use of leverage increases the level of investment risk. Leverage will
magnify gains or losses on those investments. Inverse ETFs lose value when the underlying investments rise in
value. The investments have the risk of not meeting their stated daily investment objectives over a long-term period.
Cybersecurity Risk
Cybersecurity vulnerabilities may present weaknesses in information systems that hackers could exploit.
Investment advisors, the securities they recommend, and all service providers are all subject to risks associated with a
14
breach in their cyber security.
Business Catastrophic Risk
Clients may be subject to the risk of loss arising from exposure that it may incur, indirectly, due to the occurrence of
various events, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, or other catastrophic events such as
a pandemic. These catastrophic risks of loss can be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on
investment advisory businesses and their clients’ portfolios.
Manager Risk
Manager risk encompasses the possibility of loss due to manager fraud, intentional or inadvertent deviation from a
predefined investment strategy, or simply poor judgment.
General Economic Conditions
General economic conditions can affect the level and volatility of interest rates and the extent and timing of investor
participation in the markets for equities, interest sensitive securities, commodities, and other investments.
Unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the markets can result in losses.
Bank Failures
The economic and regulatory environment has raised the risk of bank failures. Exposure to the risk of bank failure for
Sepio can take effect directly through depositary accounts exceeding FDIC limits and via exposure through loans,
subscription facilities and security deposits through letters of credit issued by such banks, which can no longer be
drawn from. These risks can apply at the client and/or investment level. Sepio mitigates these risks by keeping
track of various banking and custodial relationships and acting on contractual provisions where a bank failure
triggers a change and by limiting depositary account amounts to the FDIC insured levels where practical. Sepio is
reviewing direct banking relationships as part of our ongoing diligence of key service providers. As of the date of this
filing Sepio has experienced no direct impact from the current bank failures and expects no impact on near-term
cash management.
Market Disruptions and Governmental Intervention
Government intervention in the case of market disruption can suddenly and substantially impact market
participants’ ability to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of portfolio positions. These interventions can
be material and result in confusion and uncertainty that can detrimentally impact investment strategies in unpredictable
ways.
Risks of Investments in Non-U.S. Securities
Non-U.S. investments, and those in emerging markets, involve special risks. These risks include fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, foreign government intervention or expropriation, failure of markets to function properly,
political or economic instability, and differences in regulatory, financial disclosure, accounting, and auditing
standards.
Inflation Risk
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income investments falls, and vice versa. Higher rates of inflation generally
adversely affect economies and financial markets and the ability of governments to create conditions that stimulate
or maintain economic growth. In addition, governmental measures to curb inflation and speculation about future
governmental measures may contribute to the negative economic impact of inflation and may create general
economic uncertainty. Future governmental economic measures, such as interest rate increases, intervention in
foreign exchange markets, and actions to adjust or fix currency values, may trigger, or exacerbate increases in
inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on investment returns.
Extraordinary Events.
Global terrorist activity and armed conflicts may negatively affect general economic conditions, including sales,
profits, and production, and may materially affect prices and/or impair Sepio’s trading facilities and infrastructure
or the trading facilities and infrastructure of the exchanges or markets on which Sepio trades. Such effects and
impacts could have a material adverse effect on certain investments.
15
The impact of disease and epidemics may have a negative impact on the performance and financial position of Sepio
and the funds and investments it recommends. Outbreaks of existing or new epidemics could result in health or other
government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses, as well as a general economic decline.
Regulatory Developments.
The legal, tax, and regulatory environment worldwide in the financial industry is evolving, and changes in regulations
affecting the financial industry, including Sepio’s and the issuers of financial instruments held in a client’s account,
may have a material adverse effect on the ability to pursue the investment strategies described above or the value of
the instruments held in a client’s account. There has been an increase in scrutiny of the financial industry by
governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Various national governments have expressed concern
regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading and the need to regulate the financial markets in general.
New laws and regulations or actions taken by regulators that restrict Sepio’s ability to pursue investment strategies
or conduct business with broker-dealers and other counterparties could adversely affect a client’s account.
ESG or Impact Risks.
The potential non-financial risks associated with environmental, social, and governance factors or impact
investments that could negatively impact a company’s reputation, earnings, assets, cost of capital, and valuation.
Examples of these may include but are not limited to: Environment: Changes in weather patterns and extreme
events associated with climate change, inefficient use or pollution of the earth’s resources such as water and land,
damage to ecosystems; Social: Poor labor relations and policies, lack of gender and/or racial equality,
discriminatory practices and products that are detrimental to health or the environment; Governance: Poor
corporate management and oversight practices, lack of robust worker safety protocols, lack of diversity and outside
representation on the board which can create conflicts of interest as well as poor governance of executive
management. ESG ratings of companies are often based on subjective measures, and may include corporate self-
reporting, different and inconsistent third-party rating systems, as well as data points that are associated with
positive or negative outcomes but where causation has not been established. It is also possible that companies
that do have a positive impact in the areas identified, or that successfully avoid some or most of the ESG risks
noted, will not have favorable financial returns. Accordingly, their stock prices could underperform their peers
despite alignment with ESG objectives.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear.
The foregoing discussion is not meant to be an exhaustive list of risk factors. For a more fulsome
discussion of risk factors, Clients should read and review the offering documents for each investment in
their entirety prior to undertaking an investment with Sepio and discuss them with their accounting, tax and
legal representatives.
16
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
the
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving us or our management persons. We encourage
Clients to perform due diligence on any advisor or service provider they engage. The backgrounds of Sepio and
Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
its Advisory Persons are available on
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching our firm name or CRD# 285645.
17
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Sepio Capital Management GP, LLC
We are affiliated and under common control with Sepio Capital Management GP, LLC (SCM GP). SCM GP serves
as the general partner to certain Funds managed by Sepio. Due to the affiliation, we have an incentive to
recommend investments in the Funds as owners will benefit financially in their individual capacity through the
receipt of additional revenue. The conflict is mitigated by an internal policy mandating that we will not charge a
separate investment advisory fee for the management of the assets placed in the Funds. Additionally, there is no
requirement for us to recommend the Funds to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in Funds.
Sepio Trust Company
As of 2024, Sepio Capital has established an affiliation with Sepio Trust Company, a Wyoming chartered
public trust company regulated by the Wyoming Division of Banking. Sepio Trust Company offers trust
services to both existing Sepio Capital advisory clients and individuals who are not affiliated with Sepio
Capital.
In some cases, clients of Sepio Trust Company may request that Sepio Capital serve as their investment
manager. When this occurs, Sepio Capital enters into a formal advisory agreement with Sepio Trust
Company, under which Sepio Capital is engaged as the investment advisor to the trust. Compensation for
Sepio Capital’s investment advisory services is governed by this investment advisory agreement and is paid
by Sepio Trust Company from the client’s trustee fees, which is a consolidated fee that represents
compensation associated with trust and advisory services.
This affiliation presents a potential conflict of interest, as Sepio Capital is incentivized to refer clients to Sepio
Trust Company. However, this conflict is mitigated by several factors: not all Sepio Capital clients require trust
services; Sepio Capital advisory clients are not obligated to engage Sepio Trust Company; and Sepio Trust
Company clients are not required to retain Sepio Capital as their investment manager. Additionally, Sepio
Capital and Sepio Trust Company have entered into shared services agreements, and certain employees
serve in roles across both entities, dividing their time accordingly. Importantly, neither Sepio Capital nor Sepio
Trust Company receives compensation for client referrals between the two firms.
18
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
PERSONAL TRADING
A. Code of Ethics
We have implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code applies to all persons associated with us (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide
general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our Supervised Persons’ duties to each Client. Sepio
and our Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation
of our Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general
principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of
interest. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please contact the Advisor at (415) 915-3716.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
We allow the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of
Clients, subject to de minimis limits. We do not act as principal in any transactions. Given our affiliation with the
General Partner to the Funds, we have a material interest in certain securities which may be recommended to
Clients.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
We allow the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of
Clients, subject to certain limitations. Owning the same securities that we recommend (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to Clients and mitigate through policies and
procedures. As noted above, we have adopted a Code of Ethics addressing insider trading (material nonpublic
information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal accounts,
Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in Clients’
best interest can be violated by personal trades made on more favorable terms or on material non-public
information. This risk is mitigated by requiring that our Chief Compliance Officer review all employee personal
securities trades. We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, nonpublic
information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While we allow the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf
of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no time will
Supervised Persons be permitted to transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
19
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
We utilize the brokerage and clearing services of Fidelity Family Office Services (“Fidelity”), a division of Fidelity
Brokerage Services LLC and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. for investment advisory accounts.
Factors which we considered in utilizing Fidelity include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution,
pricing, and service. Fidelity enables us to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other
securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be
higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions. We do not recommend brokers to our clients.
We believe the commission schedule offered by Fidelity complies with our duty to seek “best execution.” Clients
may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified custodian might charge to effect the same transaction
where we determine that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not lowest cost but the best qualitative
outcome, considering the full range of custodian services including execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. We seek competitive rates but may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates
for client transactions.
Directed Brokerage
Clients are not obligated to use Fidelity and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a qualified
custodian not recommended by us. Clients may request in writing to use a particular broker dealer or custodian to
execute some or all transactions for the Client, and we may comply if we have a relationship with the particular
institution. In such cases, the Client negotiates terms directly with that broker-dealer or custodian, and we will not
be able to seek better execution or aggregate (“batch”) client transactions through other custodians. As a result,
the client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net
prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to our duty of best execution,
we may decline a Client’s request to direct brokerage if, in our sole discretion, such directed brokerage
arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties or violate restrictions imposed by other broker-
dealers.
Clients investing in Digital Assets must use FDAS for trade and execution purposes. Fidelity is an unaffiliated SEC-
registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” We maintain
an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby we receive economic benefits from Fidelity. Please see Item 14
below.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Given the nature of the Funds’ investment programs, we may utilize broker-dealers in conducting portfolio
transactions. In selecting brokers for the Funds’ portfolio transactions, we will seek to obtain best execution for the
Funds, taking into account, without limitation, the following factors: the ability to effect prompt and reliable executions
at favorable prices (including the applicable dealer spread or commission, if any); the operational efficiency with
which transactions are effected, taking into account the size of order and difficulty of execution; the financial
strength, integrity and stability of the broker; the broker’s risk in positioning a block of securities; the quality,
comprehensiveness and frequency of available research and information considered to be of value; and the
competitiveness of spreads and commission rates in comparison with other brokers satisfying our other selection
criteria.
Following are additional details regarding our brokerage practices:
A. Brokerage Referrals
We do not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing
an account.
20
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results considering such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4)
confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodians. We will execute our transactions through the Custodians as
designated by the Client, unless otherwise instructed. We may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodians for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot
be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts.
C. Private Fund Services
As each of the Funds has different underlying investments, there is generally not an opportunity to aggregate
orders among the Funds. To the extent that more than one investment opportunity is suitable for multiple Funds,
we will seek to allocate the opportunity in a manner that is fair and equitable to all investors in accordance with the
Offering Documents of such Funds.
21
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
A. Frequency of Reviews
Investment Management Services
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Principals of Sepio. Formal
reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Security positions in the Funds are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Sepio.
B. Causes for Reviews
Investment Management Services`
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually.
Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify us if changes occur in the Client’s personal
financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by
material market, economic or political events.
Private Fund Advisor Services
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., the Funds may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions. Investors are encouraged to notify us if changes occur in their personal financial
situation that might impact the appropriateness of investing in the Fund[s].
C. Review Reports
Investment Management Services
Clients will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodians. These brokerage statements
are sent directly from the Custodians to the Client. Clients may also establish electronic access to the Custodians’
website so that they may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all
positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. Sepio may also provide Clients with periodic
reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Clients should compare their custodian reports to
the reports provided by Sepio to ensure accuracy.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Investors in the Funds will receive statements no less than quarterly from the Administrator. These statements are
sent directly from the Administrator to the Investor. Sepio may also provide Investors with periodic reports
regarding the Fund’s holdings, allocations, and performance.
22
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
A. Compensation Received by the Advisor
We may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, estate
planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of our Clients. Likewise, we may receive
non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
We have established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist us in managing Client account[s]. Access
to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to us. We receive access to software and related
support without cost because we render investment advisory services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity.
The software and related systems support may benefit us, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling our duties to its
Clients, we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that
the receipt of economic benefits from the Custodians creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may
influence our recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support,
or services.
Additionally, we may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: free/discounted system licensing; receipt of
duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services
its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network
for Client order entry and account information.
We have also established an institutional relationship with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered
broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member, to assist us in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Schwab Advisor
Services platform is provided at no charge to us. We receive access to software and related support without cost
because we render investment advisory services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. The software and
related systems support may benefit us, but not our Clients directly. In fulfilling our duties to our Clients, we
endeavor at all times to put the interests of our Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from Schwab creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence our
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Sepio maintains custodial relationships with both Fidelity and Schwab (together, the “Custodians”) and may
recommend either custodian based on the specific needs and circumstances of each Client. The use of two
custodians provides several benefits: it reduces the risk associated with reliance on a single custodial relationship;
it allows Sepio to leverage competitive fee structures and negotiate on behalf of Clients; it provides flexibility to
place Clients with the custodian best suited to their account type, investment strategy, or service requirements;
and it supports operational continuity in the event of a disruption at either institution. Clients are not required to
use both custodians, and the selection of a custodian will be made in the best interest of each Client.
Additionally, we may receive the following benefits from Schwab: free/discounted system licensing; receipt of
duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services
its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network
for Client order entry and account information.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Sepio has entered into a client referral agreement with unaffiliated third-party promoters where the promoters refer
prospective clients whose investment goals and objectives are compatible with Sepio’s investment approach. Sepio
compensates the promoter for the referral by paying a percentage of the advisory fee charged by Sepio.
23
Thus, the promoter has a financial interest in recommending Sepio for investment advisory services. No client
referred to Sepio by a third-party promoter will pay a higher fee as a result of this compensation arrangement.
The promoter will disclose at the time of the solicitation whether they are or are not a current client of the firm;
whether they will receive any cash or non-cash compensation for the referral; and will provide a statement that the
receipt of compensation for a referral creates a conflict of interest. In addition, the promoter will provide each
prospective client with a copy of a written disclosure statement disclosing the terms and conditions of the
arrangement between Sepio and the promoter, including the compensation the promoter will receive from Sepio
and any material conflicts of interest on the part of the promoter as a result of the referral arrangement.
24
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
In compliance with Federal securities laws, all Client assets are held by a “qualified custodian.” Clients are required
to engage the Custodians to retain their funds and securities and direct us to utilize that Custodians for the Client’s
security transactions. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodians and compare them to any
reports provided by us to ensure accuracy, as the Custodians does not perform this review. For more information
about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
We are deemed to have custody over certain Client accounts and securities. Pursuant to securities regulations
we are required to engage an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those
assets and accounts over which we maintain custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting
firm are filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website
(http://adviserinfo.sec.gov).
Private Fund Advisor Services
We serve as the investment manager and general partner to the Funds. As such, we are deemed to have the ability
to manage the cash and securities within the Funds. We comply with Rule 206(4)-2(b) by having each Fund
audited at least annually by a PCAOB-registered and inspected accountant, and distribute audited financial
statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to limited partners
within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year of the Funds.
25
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Our general practice is to maintain discretion over the selection and number of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales
may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and
agreed to by us. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by us will be in accordance with each Client's
investment objectives and goals.
Where we enter into a non-discretionary agreement with a Client, we will ensure that we obtain consent (written
or verbal) from the Client prior to executing any trades. Non-discretionary arrangements may delay implementation,
as we must receive Client consent before acting.
26
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
We accept proxy-voting responsibility on behalf of our Clients. We will cast proxy votes only in a manner we believe
is consistent with its fiduciary duty to Clients of the Advisor. We have engaged Institutional Shareholder Services,
Inc. (“ISS”), a third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to provide us with research, analysis, and
recommendations on the various proxy proposals for the Client securities that we manage with the aim of
maximizing shareholder value. In engaging ISS for that purpose, we will review as necessary, ISS’s Proxy Paper
Guidelines for the current proxy voting season and will approve the summary of ISS’s positions on the voting
positions it recommends for the types of proposals most frequently presented, including: election and composition
of directors; financial reporting; compensation of management and directors; corporate governance structure and
anti-takeover measures; and environmental and social risks to operations. We generally vote proxies consistent
with ISS’s recommendations; however, certain issues may be considered on a case-by-case basis given the
evolving nature of corporate governance.
A copy of Sepio Capital’s proxy voting policies and procedures, as well as specific information about how we
voted in the past (as applicable), is available upon request by calling the telephone number on the cover page of
this Brochure.
Client Direction of Voting
Although most of Clients for whom we vote proxies authorize us to vote in accordance with ISS’s proxy voting policy,
a Client may request that we vote its proxies in accordance with a different policy. We will seek to accommodate
such requests. In addition, a Client may direct us to vote its securities in a particular way on a particular proposal
and we will seek to do so, assuming timely receipt of the instruction.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
In situations where there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal
relationships that we maintain with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, we will take
appropriate steps, whether by following ISS’s third-party recommendation or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting
decisions are made in what it believes is the best interest of its Clients and are not the product of any such conflict.
27
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Neither Sepio, nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of the Advisor to meet all obligations to its Clients. We are not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this
Disclosure Brochure because we do not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six
months or more in the future.
