WHAT INVESTMENT SERVICES AND ADVICE CAN YOU PROVIDE ME?
We offer customized discretionary investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, foundations, and endowments. We will advise you regarding the allocation of your investment portfolio. We will generally directs your assets through rules-based, risk-controlled investment strategies developed after close consultation and
reviewing your risk profile and financial situation. Your assets will generally be allocated to a broad range of global asset classes, including U.S. and non-U.S. equities, U.S. government, agency, municipal and corporate bonds, money market instruments, commodities, and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). We may, at our discretion, partner with various sub-advisers to implement our allocation decisions across different asset classes.
We also serve as the General Partner for two special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) and an investment manager to affiliated private equity funds (the “Funds”). We may, if you are a qualified-client, recommend that you invest in these Funds orfuture SPVs.
You may impose reasonable restrictions on any discretionary authority you provide, which must be provided to us in writing and accepted by us. Our minimum account size for a separately managed account is $5 million, and the minimum investment amount in a Fund is $500,000. We may waive these minimums at our discretion.

WHAT FEES WILL I PAY?
We charge a percentage of assets under management for portfolio management services. These fees are assessed on a quarterly basis, in arrears. You should be aware that the more assets there are in your account, the more you will pay in fees. This means we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your account. The following summarizes the fees and costs you will pay for our advisory services.

Taxable Core Equity Up to 1.00%

Other Fees and Costs
When we manage a securities portfolio for you, you will also incur the fees and expenses associated with the underlying investments and their investment managers. These fees may include fees charged by third party investment managers for portfolio management services, fees and expenses associated with mutual funds, custodian and account maintenance fees, brokerage fees and commissions and other transaction costs and expenses associated with the execution of securities transactions. These fees are exclusive of, and in addition to our fees and expenses. You will be solely and directly responsible for all fees, including fees other than those we may bill directly to you. Investments in the SPVs or Funds we manage are subject to additional fees and expenses.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, please see our Form ADV Part 2A brochure, particularly Items 4 and 5.
QUESTIONS TO ASK US:
- Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments?
- If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO ME WHEN ACTING AS MY INVESTMENT ADVISER? HOW ELSE DOES YOUR FIRM MAKE MONEY AND WHAT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DO YOU HAVE?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations and investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.
- If you invest in a Fund managed by us, you will not pay any additional management fees or carry to us other than what is set forth in the applicable Fund’s offering documents. As a result, there will be no layering of fees payable
to us. At the same time, the Funds incur additional administrative fees and bear expenses that are described in the offering documents of the Funds. Those fees and expenses are borne by the investors in the Funds and are in addition to the asset-based management fee. This is a conflict of interest because these additional fees/economic benefits give Ridgeview an incentive to recommend these investments to you where we serve as general partner. - We are required to act in your best interest throughout our entire advisory relationship.
QUESTIONS TO ASK US:
- How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, please see our Form ADV Part 2A brochure, particularly Items 5, 6 and 10.
HOW DO YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS MAKE MONEY?
Our financial professionals receive a salary and a discretionary bonus based on their individual performance and the success of the firm. This is a conflict of interest because our financial professionals have an incentive to encourage a you to increase the assets in your accounts and to maintain those accounts with us, rather than transition them to another adviser.
