UPPER BAY INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT, LP


The Adviser & Clients Upper Bay will provide investment advisory services to private equity fund clients, focused primarily on diversified North American infrastructure investments. The Firm was founded by Marietta Moshiashvili and Mario Maselli (the “Managing Partners”). The Firm has established an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) comprised of the Managing Partners and John Raymond, Chief Executive Officer of EMG Fund II Management, L.P., an investment adviser registered with the SEC as part of an umbrella registration together with other relying advisers (collectively referred to as, The Energy & Minerals Group or “EMG”). The principal owners of the Adviser are the Managing Partners and Mr. Raymond. All investment decisions must be approved by unanimous agreement of the members of the Investment Committee.

Upper Bay will enter into an investment management agreement with Upper Bay Infrastructure Partners, LP (“Fund I”) and Upper Bay Infrastructure Partners GP, LP, the general partner to the Fund (together with any other entities that serve is such capacity to any future funds, the “General Partner(s)”). Fund I was formed in 2018 with an investment strategy targeting an attractive risk-adjusted return through a balanced portfolio of mature, stable assets and growth-oriented infrastructure investments in partnership with leading operators and developers.

Parallel investment entities are expected to be structured to facilitate participation by certain investors based on legal, tax, regulatory or other similar considerations of such investors. Parallel investment entities generally will invest side-by-side in each investment proportionate to their respective committed capital. Fund I together with any parallel investment entities and any such subsequent funds are referred to as the “Fund I” as the context requires.

In addition to Fund I, Upper Bay provides investment management services to OTV Holdings, LLC, (“Oregon Trail Ventures”) and will provide investment management services to other future co- investment vehicles established to enable limited partners and other strategic investors to co-invest in portfolio companies alongside Fund I or separate and apart from Fund I in portfolio companies that do not fit the investment objectives of Fund I (“Co-Invest Vehicles”). Fund I, the Co-Invest Vehicles, and any future fund vehicles established by Upper Bay are together referred to herein as the “Upper Bay Funds.”

Upper Bay provides non-discretionary investment management services to JPMorgan Private Equity Group (“JPM”) in connection with its investment in a development joint venture (“DevCo”) with 8minuteenergy, a solar power developer, and MDS Capital, LLC (“MDS”), an affiliate of Upper Bay. In consideration for Upper Bay’s investment management services to JPM and a potential contribution of capital by MDS to DevCo, MDS may receive a profits interest in DevCo.

Advisory Services Upper Bay will tailor its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions set forth in the limited partnership agreements, investment management agreements, and other governing documents of each Upper Bay Fund or other client (collectively for each such Upper Bay Fund or client, the “Governing Documents”), not to the individualized needs of any investor in any Upper Bay Fund or other client. Pursuant to the investment guidelines and restrictions set forth in the Governing Documents of Fund I, Upper Bay pursues infrastructure investments for Fund I in the North American middle market, diversified across the transportation, power & utilities, midstream, and telecommunications sectors. The Firm will seek to construct a balanced portfolio of stable and mature infrastructure investments as well as growth-oriented platform investments in partnership with leading operators and developers. Information about Fund I and the investment objectives, strategies, restrictions and risks associated with an investment are described in Fund I’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) and other Governing Documents, which are made available to investors only through Upper Bay and its authorized agents. See Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss and Item 16 – Investment Discretion.

Upper Bay will generally target equity investments of up to $500 million, with commitments from Fund I ranging from $50 million to approximately $200 million and with the remaining amounts expected to be funded through co-investments by limited partners and third-party co-investors. The Fund will invest primarily through control-oriented, shared control and in rare situations significant minority equity, equity-related and structured investments, subject to any limits set forth in the Fund’s Governing Documents. Following an investment in a portfolio company, the Managing Partners and Upper Bay employees will generally serve on the portfolio company’s board of directors, or otherwise act to influence the management of the companies until the Fund exits the investment.

Upper Bay’s Managing Partners and investment professionals have spent their careers investing and managing investments in energy and infrastructure assets through both debt and equity transactions. Mr. Raymond has substantial operating experience in the natural resources industry, having served in various executive roles throughout his career, in addition to extensive investment experience in a private equity fund energy complex.

The Upper Bay Funds are offered exclusively to individuals who qualify as “accredited investors” under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and “qualified purchasers” as defined under Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), and are therefore not required to register as investment companies with the SEC in accordance with the exemption set forth in Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. Subject to the investment guidelines and restrictions in the Governing Documents for the Upper Bay Funds, Upper Bay generally has broad discretion to make investment decisions for the Upper Bay Funds. Investment in the Upper Bay Funds involves significant risks and should be regarded as long- term in nature, forming only one portion of an investor’s diversified investment portfolio.

Other than its services to JPM, Upper Bay provides investment management services exclusively to the Upper Bay Funds. Outside of such services to the Funds and JPM, Upper Bay offers no other advisory services as of the date of this Brochure. Upper Bay does not perform any type of financial planning, quantitative analysis, tax planning or market timing services. It also does not participate in wrap fee programs.

As of December 31, 2018, Upper Bay had approximately $403 million in regulatory assets under management (“RAUM”), of which approximately $268 million was managed on a discretionary basis and $135 million was managed on a non-discretionary basis. Upper Bay has investment discretion with respect to Fund I (subject to Fund I’s established investment guidelines) and Oregon Trail Ventures (subject to certain approval rights granted to third party co-investors). With respect to Upper Bay’s investment management services to JPM, all investment decisions with respect to JPM’s investment in DevCo are subject to approval by JPM. Compliance Oversight Upper Bay has created a compliance committee (the “Compliance Committee”), consisting of the CCO and the Managing Partners. The Compliance Committee will meet periodically to address certain compliance matters as delegated to the committee under Upper Bay’s compliance policies and procedures manual (the “Compliance Manual”). Subject to oversight by the full Compliance Committee, the CCO has full responsibility to develop and enforce all compliance policies and procedures. The Compliance Committee will endeavor to ensure that compliance resources are adequate relative to the compliance risk profile for Upper Bay, given the Firm’s business and operations. The Compliance Committee will also evaluate the results of the annual review of the Firm’s compliance program, implements appropriate amendments and enhancements to that program. please register to get more info
