SNOW CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.P.


OVERVIEW OF THE FIRM Snow Capital Management L.P. (“SCM”) is an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), as amended. Our Firm was founded as R.A.S. Investments in 1980 and registered with the SEC as an investment adviser on August 24, 1990. In 2001, R.A.S. was restructured as Snow Capital Management L.P., a Pennsylvania Limited Partnership. Snow Capital Management Holdings L.P. is the principal owner of the Firm. As used in this brochure, the words “Firm,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to SCM and the words “you,” “your,” and “client” refer to you as either a current or prospective client of SCM. INVESTMENT SERVICES SCM provides investment advisory services for individual and institutional clients through separately managed accounts, model-based/unified managed accounts of wrap program sponsors, Snow Capital Investment Partners L.P. ("SCIP" or the "Private Fund"), and the Snow Capital Family of Funds (mutual funds, collectively, the “Funds”). When we have discretion over the trading in your account, we conduct a suitability review to identify client objectives, security restrictions, allowable cash positions, brokerage arrangements, and general risk limitations prior to investing your funds. Wrap sponsors and model-based programs perform the suitability review for accounts introduced through those programs. When we have discretion over the trading in your account, a client may impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on SCM’s services. SCM does not provide financial planning services and does not advise our clients in the selection of other investment advisers. If you are considering the advisory services of SCM, you should consult with a financial advisor to determine which investment product(s) best suits your needs. ACCOUNT TYPES SEPARATELY MANAGED ACCOUNTS SCM provides investment advice to clients according to the terms of an investment advisory agreement with the client. The clients may or may not come to SCM through an investment advisor. These clients maintain separate management agreements directly with SCM and pay management fees based on the investment strategy and asset levels. These fees are exclusive of transactional and/or custodial costs. More information about SCM’s separately managed account fee schedule can be found in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation. UNIFIED MANAGED ACCOUNTS (“UMA”) An UMA combines all of a client’s assets into a single account. A UMA typically holds multiple investment strategies under the same custodial account. It may also contain multiple investment products such as individual stocks, mutual funds or bonds. SCM may or may not have the authority to trade in this type of account. Clients in UMA accounts are charged a single fee by the program sponsor and SCM receives its management fee from the program sponsor. Snow Capital Management L.P. – Form ADV Part 2A Page 6 of 22 MUTUAL FUNDS SCM is the investment adviser to the Snow Capital Family of Funds, which include:  Snow Capital Long/Short Opportunity Fund  Snow Capital Small Cap Value Fund The prospectuses for the Snow Capital Long/Short Opportunity Fund and the Snow Capital Small Cap Value Fund are available at www.snowcm.com. SCM has also been engaged as a sub-adviser to other mutual funds, as outlined in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. SCM does not provide financial planning services and does not advise our clients in the selection of other investment advisers. PRIVATE FUND Snow Capital Management LLC (“SCM LLC”) is the general partner of SCIP. As a private fund, SCIP is exempt from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. All SCIP investors must meet the accredited investor standard per Rule 501 of Regulation D. The Private Fund may use leverage and invest in marketable securities which may overlap with other SCM product offerings. The SCIP Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) details all fees. SCM, as an investment adviser to a private fund, is not currently required to file Form PF because SCIP’s assets do not meet the regulatory assets under management threshold. PROGRAM TYPES WRAP FEE PROGRAMS We offer investment advice to clients through our participation in wrap fee programs. Wrap fee program sponsors organize and administer the program and may provide advice to clients regarding the selection of non-affiliated investment advisers in the program. SCM’s participation in wrap fee programs may create conflicts of interest between our duty to obtain best execution for wrap fee program clients and our receipt of future accounts from program sponsors. Please refer to the SCM’s Form ADV Part 1A for a list of wrap fee programs in which we participate. Clients in wrap fee programs are charged a single fee by the program sponsor and SCM receives its management fee from the program sponsor. Model Delivery Programs (“MDP”) Snow Capital provides investment advice to sponsors of model delivery programs where SCM provides a model portfolio to an overlay manager or program sponsor. SCM serves as the model manager but does not have trading discretion in model-based accounts. In these instances, SCM does not have discretionary investment authority over the individual client. Clients in MDPs are charged a single fee by the program sponsor and SCM receives its management fee from the program sponsor. PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES While separately managed, UMA and model-based accounts utilizing the same investment strategy may perform similarly, there are expected to be performance differences between them. For example, there will be performance dispersion any time SCM does not have trading discretion. SCM does not have trading discretion over model-based accounts. SCM may or may not have trading discretion over UMA accounts.
