Item 4 – Advisory Business
A. Description of the Company
Spyglass is a California limited liability company founded in 2015 and principally
owned by James A. Robillard, who is also the Firm’s Chief Investment Officer and
Managing Member. Spyglass is an investment management firm with its principal place
of business in San Francisco, California.
B. Types of Advisory Services Offered
Spyglass provides investment management and advisory services to family office
clients, other high net worth clients, institutional investors, endowments, a Dublin Ireland
based UCITS fund and Spyglass Growth Fund (“SGF”), a series of Manager Directed
Portfolios (“Trust”) (each a “Client,” and collectively “Clients”). SGF is a registered
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This is not
a public offer of SGF.
Spyglass invests Client portfolio assets pursuant to a long-only, concentrated,
growth strategy with a long-term objective identifying companies with well-run
management teams in industries experiencing significant growth or growth potential.
Spyglass also offers model portfolio delivery services to select institutional
managers. However, Spyglass does not execute nor have discretion over the transactions
effected. The model portfolio investment strategy is consistent with the investment strategy
of the aforementioned Clients.
C. Scope of Services
We manage and supervise the investment operations and business affairs of SGF
pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of SGF, subject to
general oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Institutional investors may request and
receive a summary of the SGF Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
(“SAI”) prior to investing. The most recent SAI is also available on our website.
Our portfolio management services for separately managed account clients are
based on the individual requirements of our clients and the suitability of the offering.
Investment management agreements (“IMA”) with separately managed account clients
may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
D. Wrap fee programs
We do not offer wrap fee programs.
4
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we manage approximately $1,790,990,184 of regulatory
assets under management on a discretionary basis and we do not manage any assets on a
non-discretionary basis, other than respecting restrictions documented in the IMA.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Spyglass Growth Fund
We receive an asset-based management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.00% of net
assets accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears (1.00% annualized). Fees will be
automatically deducted from SGF.
UCITS Share Classes
The manager of the UCITS ICAV determines the management fee for each share
class. These fees are paid monthly in arrears after calculation and approval by the ICAV
manager. One or more share classes contain a performance fee if the investors performance
exceeds a published benchmark.
Separately Managed Accounts
We receive asset-based management fees between 0.5% to 1% for those accounts
for which we provide portfolio management services.
Management fees are negotiated and are generally payable quarterly in arrears.
Management fees are prorated to reflect any withdrawals or contributions which occur
during a quarter.
For separately managed accounts, we may request that you provide authorization
for us to deduct our fees directly from your investment account. Important information
about the deduction of management fees:
• You must provide authorization for us to deduct fees by initialing the
appropriate section of our IMA.
• You will receive a detailed invoice for each period which outlines our fees
and how they are calculated before we request payment from the custodian.
• You will receive a statement from your custodian which shows your
holdings.
• You are responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the fees being billed, as
the custodian may not do so.
5
You may terminate the IMA under which we manage a separate account at any time
after providing thirty (30) days prior written notice. Fee calculations will be prorated to the
date of termination and any unearned portion, if any, will be refunded to you.
Model Portfolio Delivery Service Fees
Model Portfolio Delivery Service fee rates are negotiated and determined based
upon the terms of each underlying agreement. Fees are generally paid quarterly in arrears
based on assets under advisement.
Other Fees and Costs
Besides Client’s management fees (discussed above), there are other Client
operating expenses including, among other things, shareholder servicing fees, taxes, and
interest(“Operating Expenses”). We have agreed to reimburse Client expenses to ensure
that Operating Expenses inclusive of management fees do not exceed 1.00% of the Client’s
daily average net assets through April 30, 2023, unless earlier terminated by the Trust’s
Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fees discussed above, expenses associated with
making investments on behalf of Clients or on behalf of separately managed accounts also
will be incurred from parties independent of Spyglass.
Investment-related expenses include some or all of the following: transaction costs
(e.g., commissions, bid-ask spreads, or mark-ups), interest on margin borrowing, clearing
costs, transfer taxes and custodian fees. Our investment strategy at times involves a high
level of trading, and the turnover of its portfolio could generate substantial transaction
costs. These costs will be borne by the Client or by the separately managed account
regardless of profitability. Item 12 further describes the factors we consider in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers and determining the reasonableness of their commissions
and other compensation.
None of our employees accept compensation for the sale of securities or other
investment products.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees - ICAV (UCITS) Share Class
As discussed in Item 5, performance fees are a component of management fees for
one or more share classes of the ICAV (UCITS) for which Spyglass is the investment
manager. Performance share classes contain a ‘high water mark’ which suspends
6
performance fee calculations until the account value for the relevant period has been
restored.
To avoid such a conflict of interest, Spyglass will generally follow documented
procedures for allocating opportunities among Clients, which will not take into account the
performance-based compensation, if any, to which certain accounts are subject. The terms
of the performance-based compensation differ among Clients. This may result in a conflict
of interest when allocating opportunities among Clients, as Spyglass may have an incentive
to favor Clients that have a performance-based compensation.
New issues (as defined by Rule 5130 of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.) are allocated to Client accounts in accordance with the Firm’s investment
allocation policy.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
In addition to providing investment management to SGF, a registered investment
company; we provide discretionary asset management services to family offices,
endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional Clients through separately
managed accounts and we offer model portfolio delivery services to select institutional
managers.
The investment minimum required for investing in SGF is $100,000 (Institutional
Shares) and $3,000 (Retail Shares). Currently only Institutional Shares are offered for
investment.
We provide discretionary advisory and asset management services to institutions
and select types of individual Clients, typically high net worth individuals. The minimum
account size for asset management accounts is $10 Million. We may waive the minimum
account size in our sole and absolute discretion.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investing in securities, whether directly or through Clients, involves risk of loss that
you should be prepared to bear.
A. Methods of Analysis
Spyglass may employ a variety of investment strategies including proprietary,
independent, fundamental research intended to identify dislocations between current stock
prices and calculated present values. We seek to identify companies that have attractive
7
valuations relative to their discounted, long-term value through disciplined, bottom-up
fundamental research and comprehensive due diligence.
B. Investment Strategies
When we identify what we deem to be attractive opportunities, we invest for the
long-term and look for the stock price to converge with its model of present value over
time. We employ concentrated portfolios of stocks with position sizes based, in part, upon
the separation between current price and its internally calculated, risk-adjusted present
value.
We use fundamental research and due diligence to create proprietary models. Our
proprietary earnings models are designed to capture what we believe to be the most likely
outcome for revenue, margins, and earnings in future periods. Our models comprehend
Spyglass’s fundamentally derived five-year earnings forecasts, the terminal multiple and
the discount rates applied to these forecasts.
The evaluation of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) criteria is taken
into consideration as part of our investment and risk mitigation process. We have adopted
an integrated, bottom-up fundamental approach to identify and analyze ESG criteria,
particularly in small-mid cap companies. We use various research tools to assess ESG
criteria, including our proprietary ESG Company Assessment Reports and proprietary ESG
Scoring Model, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Materiality Mapping and
proxy voting assessment. However, we will not actively sacrifice performance over any
specific ESG criteria.
C. Risk of Loss
Spyglass is a long-term manager and serves Clients seeking a similar discipline.
We do not describe risk as short-term price fluctuations – rather we describe risk as the
probability of permanent loss of capital. Separately managed accounts, portfolios are
typically concentrated among approximately 25 stocks, primarily mid-sized capitalization
U.S. exchange traded companies.
The assets within Client portfolios are subject to risk of devaluation or loss. There
are many different events that can affect the value of Client portfolio assets including, but
not limited to, changes in financial status of companies, market fluctuations, changes in
exchange rates, trading suspensions and delays, economic reports, and natural disasters.
There are inherent risks associated with investing; Clients may suffer loss of all or part of
their principal investment.
Market Risks. The profitability of a significant portion of the Clients’ investment program
depends to a great extent upon Spyglass’s ability to correctly assess the future course of
8
the price movements of securities and other investments. There can be no assurance that
Spyglass will be able to predict accurately these price movements. Although Spyglass may
attempt to mitigate market risk, there is always some degree of market risk.
ESG Investing. When the investment process considers environmental, social and governance
factors, the advisor may choose to avoid investments that might otherwise be considered or
sell investments due to changes in ESG risk factors as part of the overall investment decision
process. Similarly, the advisor may choose to increase exposure to securities already found to
be fundamentally attractive, for which the ESG profile is positive. The use of environmental,
social and governance factors may impact investment exposure to issuers, industries, sectors,
and countries, which may impact a portfolio’s relative performance
Impact of Government Regulation. Financial services companies operate in a highly
regulated environment and are subject to extensive federal, state and international legal and
regulatory restrictions and limitations, as well as supervision, examination and
enforcement by regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with any of these laws, rules, or
regulations, some of which are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could
result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties, fines, suspension or
expulsion, and termination of deposit insurance, which may have a material adverse effect
on a given portfolio company or on a Client as a whole.
Inflation. The U.S. and other developed economies have recently begun to experience higher-
than-normal inflation rates. It remains uncertain whether substantial inflation in the U.S. and
other developed economies will be sustained over an extended period of time or have a
significant effect on the U.S. or other economies. Inflation may affect a Client’s investments
adversely in a number of ways. During periods of rising inflation, interest and dividend rates
of any instruments of a Fund or entities related to investments may have issued could increase,
which would tend to reduce returns to investors. Inflationary expectations or periods of rising
inflation could also be accompanied by the rising prices of commodities which are critical to
the operation of portfolio companies. Portfolio companies may have fixed income streams
and, therefore, be unable to pay higher dividends. The market value of such investments may
decline in value in times of higher inflation rates. Some of a Client’s investments may have
income linked to inflation through contractual rights or other means. However, as inflation
may affect both income and expenses, any increase in income may not be sufficient to cover
increases in expenses. Governmental efforts to curb inflation often have negative effects on
the level of economic activity. In an attempt to stabilize inflation, certain countries have
imposed wage and price controls at times. Past governmental efforts to curb inflation have
also involved more drastic economic measures that have had a materially adverse effect on
the level of economic activity in the countries where such measures were employed. Certain
countries, including the U.S., have recently seen increased levels of inflation and there can be
no assurance that continued, and more wide-spread inflation will not become a serious
problem in the future and have an adverse impact on a Fund’s returns. There can be no
9
assurance that continued and more wide-spread inflation in the U.S. and/or other economies
will not become a serious problem in the future and have a material adverse impact on a
Client’s returns.
Custody Risk. The Firm is required to maintain certain client assets at a qualified custodian. Clients
may experience a loss on securities and funds held in custody in the event of a custodian’s or sub-
custodian’s insolvency, negligence, fraud, poor administration, or inadequate recordkeeping.
Custodial assets maintained at a bank do not typically become part of a failed bank’s estate;
however, our operations could be impacted by the bank’s insolvency in that there may be a delay
in trade settlement, delivery of securities, or other similar circumstance. Establishing multiple
custodial relationships could mitigate custodial risk in the event of a bank failure.
Artificial Intelligence. The emergence of recent technological developments in artificial
intelligence and machine learning, such as OpenAI and ChatGPT (collectively, “Machine Learning
Technology”), can pose risks to Spyglass, their Clients, and their investments. While Spyglass
maintains policies and procedures restricting the use of AI to certain internal processes, such as
summarizing publicly available documents used to complement and supplement its fundamental
bottom-up research, the Firm is nonetheless exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology.
These risks may arise from any uses of Machine Learning Technology by Spyglass personnel in
contravention of Spyglass’ restrictions or by third-party service providers and counterparties,
whether known to Spyglass or not. The use of Machine Learning Technology involves the risk of
inaccuracies or errors in the data utilized by such technology, which may directly or indirectly
create security or data risks and may increase trademark, licensing, and copyright risks. Machine
Learning Technology continues to develop rapidly, making it impossible to predict future risks that
may arise from such developments.
Social Media and Publicity Risk. The use of social networks, message boards, internet channels
and other platforms has become widespread within the United States and globally. As a result,
individuals now have the ability to rapidly and broadly disseminate information or misinformation,
without independent or authoritative verification. Any such information or misinformation
regarding the Firm, the Clients or one or more portfolio companies could have a material and
adverse effect on the value of the Clients.
Cybersecurity and Systems Risks. Spyglass relies on computer programs, networks, devices
and systems (and may rely on new systems and technology in the future) in connection with
Clients’ investment activities. Spyglass has policies and procedures in place to protect such
systems and prevent data loss and security breaches. However, such measures cannot provide
absolute security. These programs or systems may be subject to certain defects, failures,
interruptions or security breaches, including, but not limited to, those caused by computer
“worms,” viruses, power failures and social engineering schemes such as “phishing,” each of
which could result in a loss to the Clients. A breach of Spyglass’s information systems may
cause information relating to the Clients’ transactions and personally identifiable information
of Clients or investors to be lost or improperly accessed, used, or disclosed.
Force Majeure Risk. Force majeure is the term generally used to refer to an event beyond the
control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, including acts of God, pandemics,
10
fire, flood, weather, earthquakes, war, terrorism, and labor strikes. Some force majeure events
may adversely affect a party’s ability to perform its obligations, under a contract or otherwise,
at least until it is able to remedy the force majeure event. In addition, the cost of repairing or
replacing damaged assets could be considerable and may be either uninsurable or insurable at
such high rates that to maintain such coverage would cause an adverse impact on the related
investments. Repeated or prolonged service interruptions may result in permanent loss of
litigation, or penalties for regulatory or contractual non-
customers, substantial
compliance. Force majeure events that are incapable of, or costly to, cure may also have a
permanent adverse effect on Client accounts and/or its investments and, potentially, the
surrounding community, and may result in losses far in excess of available insurance
coverage.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Spyglass developed and tested their Business
Continuity Plan (“Plan”) which is designed to limit disruption in services and maintain
efficient and effective operations. Spyglass has performed comprehensive firm‐wide
business continuity and disaster recovery testing over the years and previously
implemented its Plan in connection with significant business disruptions. As a result,
Spyglass has a well-defined Plan and its controls and policies are effective. As of this
writing, the Plan no longer remains active and Spyglass employees are, with limited
exception, working from our office location.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
In this Item, we are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of our
management. We have no legal or disciplinary events to report involving Spyglass or our
management and employees.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Financial Industry Activities
Spyglass is not a registered Broker-Dealer, Futures Commission Merchant,
Commodity Pool Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor.
B. Financial Industry Affiliations
None of Spyglass’s management or employees are registered as, or has an
application pending to register as, a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool
Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor.
11
C. Other Material Relationships
Spyglass does not have material relationships or arrangements that are applicable
to its advisory business.
D. Affiliations with Other Investment Advisers
Spyglass does not recommend or select other advisers.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
All employees of Spyglass must act in an ethical and professional manner. In view
of the foregoing and applicable provisions of relevant law, Spyglass has adopted a Code of
Ethics to specify and prohibit certain types of transactions deemed to create conflicts of
interest or the appearance of such a conflict, and to establish reporting requirements and
enforcement procedures relating to personal trading by our personnel. Our Code of Ethics
addresses professional standards, insider trading, personal trading, gifts and entertainment,
political contributions, and fiduciary duties, establishes ideals for ethical conduct based
upon fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust. We will provide a
copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective client upon request.
B. Participation in or Interest in Client Transactions
We do not recommend securities to Clients, or buy or sell for Client accounts,
securities in which we, or our representatives, have a material financial interest.
C. Proprietary Trading
Spyglass personnel are not permitted to buy or sell securities which are contained
in Client portfolios or being considered as investments in Client portfolios. We will
document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest. To mitigate or
remedy any conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest, we monitor proprietary
and personal trading accounts for adherence to our Code of Ethics.
D. Simultaneous Trading
Simultaneous trading is prohibited by the Spyglass Code of Ethics/personal trading
policies.
12
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Selection and Recommendation
We have a fiduciary duty to our Clients to achieve best execution, on an overall
basis, for any securities transactions. In selecting brokers and dealers, we seek to obtain
the overall best execution for our Clients, taking into account a number of factors, including
for example: price, clearance, settlement, reputation, financial strength and stability,
efficiency of execution and error resolution, block trading and block positioning
capabilities, special execution capabilities, willingness to execute related or unrelated
difficult transactions in the future, order of call, on-line access to computerized data
regarding Clients’ accounts, the competitiveness of commission rates in comparison to
other brokers satisfying our other selection criteria and other matters involved in the receipt
of brokerage services.
We generate “soft dollars” through trading activity and comply with the “safe
harbor” of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under “soft
dollar” arrangements, one or more of the brokerage firms would provide or pay the costs
of certain research services, or other items for the benefit of Spyglass. These soft dollar
arrangements benefit us by reducing our expenses. We believe that our trade allocations to
brokerage business with soft dollar arrangements, would enhance the ability to obtain
research, optimal execution and other benefits on behalf of our Clients.
As previously noted, Spyglass does not execute transactions on behalf of model
portfolio delivery Clients.
Spyglass Growth Fund
Pursuant to a custody agreement between the Custodian and the Trust, on behalf of
Clients, U.S. Bank, N.A. (“Custodian”) serves as the custodian of the Client’s assets. The
Custodian does not participate in decisions relating to the purchase and sale of securities
by SGF. The Custodian and its affiliates may participate in revenue sharing arrangements
with service providers of mutual funds in which Clients may invest.
A. Directed Brokerage
We may recommend that Clients utilize a specific broker-dealer or custodian to
execute or settle transactions. These recommendations are to encourage efficiency and cost
effectiveness.
We currently do not have any Clients that direct the use of a particular brokerage
firm.
13
B. Order Aggregation
Spyglass, at times, aggregates sale and purchase orders of securities for advisory
accounts with similar orders in order to obtain the best pricing averages and minimize
trading costs. We believe this practice is efficient. Clients also benefit with better purchase
or sale execution prices, lower commission expenses or beneficial timing of transactions
or a combination of these and other factors. Our policies and procedures mandate
aggregating multiple orders. Aggregate orders will be allocated to Client and Firm accounts
in a systematic non-preferential manner.
C. Trade Rotation
Spyglass has trade rotation policies in place that seek to effect securities
transactions and to disseminate the model portfolio to our investment adviser Clients in a
fair and equitable manner. Spyglass’ approach to trade rotation is as follows:
• “Free Accounts” which are those accounts over which Spyglass generally has
investment discretion and determines the brokers and negotiates the commission.
• “Directed Brokerage Accounts” which are those accounts where client provide
specific trade instructions.
Trades are generally not allocated to the Directed Brokerage Accounts until the
trades for the Free Accounts are completed.
• “Model Accounts” which are the Clients for whom we do not execute
recommended transactions but provide model changes.
Model changes are generally not provided until trades are completed for Free
Accounts and Directed Brokerage Accounts.
the
transaction changes are
fully completed
for
As noted above, there are no Directed Brokerage Accounts. As such, Model Accounts are
notified after
the “Free
Accounts.” Portfolio changes may span more than a single market session and all Clients
will receive the update either post-market close or before the open depending on the portal
constraints.
14
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Spyglass reviews Client accounts/portfolios on a daily basis for overall adherence
with the investment strategy and investment guidelines. Operations and trading teams are
responsible for conducting the review of Client accounts.
Intermittent reviews may be triggered by substantial market fluctuation, economic
or political events, or other factors.
Clients are advised to notify Spyglass promptly if there are any material changes in
their financial situation, or investment objectives.
We periodically prepare separate written Client reports upon request. Separately
managed account Clients will receive a report at least monthly from the custodian.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We engage independent solicitors to provide institutional Client referrals. If a
Client is directly referred to us by a solicitor, this practice will be disclosed to the Client in
writing by the solicitor. We pay the solicitor a portion of the advisory fees earned for
managing the capital of the Client or investor that was referred.
The use of solicitors is regulated under applicable federal and state law. Our policy
is to fully comply with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1, under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, as amended, and similar state rules, as applicable.
Item 15 – Custody
If you give us authority to deduct our fees from your separately managed account,
we have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements in
these cases, we follow the procedures outlined in “Item 5: Fees and Compensation.” You
will also receive a statement from the custodian of the account at least monthly that details
all transactions in the account. Clients are urged to carefully review all custodial statements
and compare them to account statements and reports provided by the Firm.
15
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
We manage securities portfolios on a discretionary basis and do not allow for any
limitations to be placed on our investment authority except as contained in the Client’s
prospectus or if the IMA contains a restriction mandated by the Client. Our investment
strategies are summarized in Item 8 above, and more completely described in the Client’s
offering materials.
Our customary procedure is to have full discretionary authority over separately
managed accounts in order to supervise and direct the investments of your accounts. You
grant this authority upon execution of our IMA. This authority is for the purpose of making
and implementing investment decisions, without your prior consultation.
Our discretionary authority does not give us authority to take or have possession of
any assets in your account or to direct delivery of any securities or payment of any funds
held in the account to Spyglass. Furthermore, our authority by agreement does not allow
us to direct the disposition of such securities or funds to anyone except you—the account
owner.
We do not have discretionary authority or the ability to execute transactions on
behalf of the model portfolio delivery Clients.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Spyglass the responsibility for
exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and/or held by the
Clients, subject to the Board of Trustees’ continuing oversight, its proxy voting policies
and procedures, and proxy voting guidelines adopted by Spyglass. Under these guidelines,
we will vote all proxies in the best interests of our Clients. The proxy voting guidelines are
available upon request at info@spyglassfunds.com.
You may provide authorization for us to vote your proxies as described above for
your separately managed account(s), or you may elect to retain the authority to vote the
proxies yourself.
You may request a copy of our Proxy Policies and Procedures and/or information
about how a proxy was voted at any time from our Proxy Voting Officer, James Robillard,
at info@spyglassfunds.com.
16
Item 18 – Financial Information
We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client, six
months or more in advance. We have no financial commitments that impair our ability to
meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to our Clients, and we have not been the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
17
Privacy Policy
Spyglass does not disclose nonpublic personal information about its Clients or
former clients to any persons other than as described below. Spyglass collects information
about its Clients (such a name, address, social security number, assets and income) from
discussions with Clients, from documents that Clients may deliver to Spyglass (such as
account applications and investment management agreements) and in the course of
providing services. In order to service its Client accounts and effect Client transactions,
Spyglass may provide Client personal information to its affiliates and to firms that assist it
in servicing Client accounts, and which have a need for such information. Spyglass does
not otherwise provide information about its Clients to outside firms, organizations or
individuals except as required by law. Any party that receives this information will use it
only for the services and as allowed by applicable law or regulations and is not permitted
to share or use this information for any other purpose.
Conflicts of Interest
Material conflicts of interest are disclosed, regarding Spyglass, its representatives
and its employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the rendering of unbiased
and objective advice. We act in a fiduciary capacity and place the interests of our investors
above those of Spyglass.
