PORTFOLIO ADVISORS LLC


Founded in 1994, Portfolio Advisors is an independent, employee-owned investment firm specializing in the private equity, private real estate and private credit asset classes. Portfolio Advisors conducts its private equity, private real estate and private credit funds management, separate account advisory and administrative activities from its office headquarters in Darien, CT. Portfolio Advisors' clients include the private equity, private real estate and private credit "funds-of-funds" and other private funds that it manages (the "Funds") and the separately managed accounts it advises (the "Accounts"). From its office in Zurich, Switzerland, Portfolio Advisors liaises with and performs client services with respect to the firm's European Accounts, as well as performs diligence and ongoing monitoring with respect to European investments and conducts certain marketing activities. Similarly, Portfolio Advisors' Hong Kong-based subsidiary, Portfolio Advisors (Hong Kong) Limited, focuses on Pan-Asia investments.

Portfolio Advisors has an experienced team of more than 100 professionals and exclusively advises on the private equity, private real estate and private credit asset classes. Portfolio Advisors invests in venture, buyout and special situations funds (such as mezzanine funds, credit funds, co-investment funds and other alternative investments), real estate funds, secondary and co-investment opportunities and funds with a geographic focus such as U.S., Europe or the Pan-Asia region. These investments generally fall into the following categories: interests in private equity partnerships (primaries), purchases of existing interests in private equity funds on the secondary market (secondaries), co-investments in equity and/or debt of operating companies alongside fund sponsors (co-investments), and the purchase of mezzanine debt and direct investments. By focusing upon these areas, Portfolio Advisors is able to develop valuable insight into the portfolios and capabilities of private equity fund managers, as well as industry sectors; leverage a strong, deep network of manager relationships; and increase the flow of potential investment opportunities.

The Funds sponsored by Portfolio Advisors (which are described in more detail below) are generally long-term, closed-end investment funds without redemption rights primarily structured as limited partnership vehicles in which investors are limited partners and a Portfolio Advisors-affiliate serves as the general partner. Portfolio Advisors currently offers two open-end investment funds. With respect to the foregoing Funds, the corresponding Portfolio Advisors-affiliated general partner generally invests a small percentage in each respective Fund so as to help align the parties' interests. The Funds typically offer different investment vehicles for investors to choose from depending on their taxable, tax-exempt, ERISA plan asset and/or non-U.S. status. As mentioned above, Portfolio Advisors also provides investment management services to the Accounts. The underlying funds that Portfolio Advisors' Accounts invest in are also generally similar long-term investment vehicles and both the Funds and Accounts generally invest with a view to hold the underlying fund interests until the ultimate liquidation of the underlying assets and the termination of such funds in their ordinary course. For the avoidance of doubt, Portfolio Advisors does not sponsor hedge funds-of-funds or advise on the hedge fund industry. Portfolio Advisors also does not typically directly invest in publicly traded securities or advise clients on investing in such securities and Portfolio Advisors does not participate in wrap fee programs.

On behalf of its investment advisory clients (i.e., the Accounts), Portfolio Advisors generally performs long-term strategic and short-term tactical planning, sources and conducts reviews of prospective investments and the principals connected therewith, negotiates the terms and conditions of investments (or assists the client with such negotiations), monitors the performance of the investments within the client's portfolio, and provides summary quarterly and comprehensive annual written reports on these investments. In order to monitor and track the assets in an investment portfolio, each client is given access to PRIVILEGe®, Portfolio Advisors' proprietary internet-enabled portfolio management system, which summarizes the performance and financial data with respect to the assets in such client's investment portfolio and allows each client to monitor and track such assets on an ongoing basis. Since each investment advisory agreement is individually tailored, such clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain investment strategies or types of securities, and Portfolio Advisors is experienced in performing its advisory services while operating within the restrictions imposed by its clients. Portfolio Advisors tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of its clients. The objective is to structure a program that is long-term, dynamic, and accounts for the level of risk desired by each client. Portfolio Advisors structures a program under either a discretionary mandate or a non-discretionary mandate, utilizing a separate account, single client fund and/or commingled fund vehicle. Portfolio Advisors private equity funds-of-funds are generally characterized by optionality with respect to industry sectors and/or geographic focus. The Portfolio Advisors Private Equity Funds (the "PAPEF Funds") are Portfolio Advisors' flagship private equity funds-of-funds that offer investors the opportunity to customize their investment across various private equity strategies including, without limitation, buyout, venture capital, special situations, co-investments and secondaries, some of which are further subdivided into classes in which investors may also invest, including diversified buyout, and U.S. middle market buyout within the buyout sector (with certain variations in earlier and later funds and with such strategy customization generally facilitated through subsidiary investment vehicles). Portfolio Advisors is currently serving as the investment adviser to ten PAPEF Funds (PAPEF I –X). Portfolio Advisors also sponsors dedicated secondary funds-of-funds (the "PASF Funds") and Portfolio Advisors currently serves as the investment adviser to three PASF Funds (PASF I, II & III). Portfolio Advisors sponsors Pan-Asia region focused funds-of-funds (the "Asia Funds") and an affiliate of Portfolio Advisors, Asia Select Management Ltd., currently serves as the investment manager to three Asia Funds (Asia Funds I – III) and Portfolio Advisors serves as the sole investment adviser to the fourth, fifth and sixth Asia Funds (“Asia Fund IV, V,& VI”). The Asia Funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in Asia focused private equity strategies, including co-investments and secondaries. Portfolio Advisors sponsors real estate focused funds-of-funds (the "PAREF Funds"), which generally invest in opportunistic and value-added real estate funds, including global, U.S.-only and non-U.S.-only real estate funds, and secondaries in private real estate funds and real estate co-investments. Similar to the PAPEF Funds, the PAREF Funds offer investors the opportunity to customize their investment across different real estate strategies within different sectors. The first two PAREF Funds were integrated as independent sectors within certain PAPEF Funds, while the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh PAREF Funds (PAREF III-VII) were formed as stand-alone vehicles, for which Portfolio Advisors serves as the investment adviser. Portfolio Advisors also sponsors an open-ended growth and income fund (”PAGIF”) which intends to make primary investments in real estate funds (limited partnerships, closed and open ended vehicles, public and private REITs and other real estate and real estate related funds), invest in secondaries and make direct co-investments. Portfolio Advisors also sponsors an open-ended U.S. credit strategies fund (“PACSF”) to invest in mezzanine and credit funds (and credit co-investments) and related assets purchased in the secondary market. In addition, since December 2013, Portfolio Advisors has managed the DLJ Investment Partners Funds, which are direct mezzanine funds, since the funds’ investment team joined Portfolio Advisors from Credit Suisse Asset Management. Portfolio Advisors sponsored direct credit opportunities funds,(PADCOF II in 2014 and PADCOF III in 2019) to invest principally in mezzanine debt instruments (typically, subordinated debt, senior unsecured notes and second lien debt) with an equity participation (typically, equity co-investments or warrants) in conjunction with leveraged buyout, growth financing or recapitalization transactions Portfolio Advisors also sponsors co-investment funds (the “PCIF Funds”), which invest directly in middle market companies primarily alongside PA sponsor relationships. The first two PCIF funds were integrated as independent sectors within certain PAPEF Funds, while the third (PCIF III) is a stand-alone vehicle. On occasion, Portfolio Advisors also sponsors certain feeder funds to address tax or other issues. In addition, in 2019, PA began a direct senior debt initiative focused on investing in 1st lien senior secured loans to support leveraged buyouts, growth financing or recapitalization transactions in middle market companies primarily alongside PA sponsor relationships. Capital for this strategy currently comes from a separately managed account, but will also include a PA-sponsored senior credit opportunities fund (“PASCOF”).The Adviser manages (or sub manages) other investment funds, including but not limited to investment funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which may follow an investment program similar to or different from other Clients’ programs. Finally, in order to address the specific needs of certain clients, at the request of such clients, Portfolio Advisors sponsors single client Funds. As of January 1, 2019, Portfolio Advisors has $23,530,677,202in assets under management (with $21,548,554,695of assets managed on a discretionary basis and $1,982,122,507 of assets managed on a non-discretionary basis.)1 please register to get more info
