GREENSPRING ASSOCIATES, LLC


Greenspring was formed in 2000 as a Delaware corporation. In October 2019, Greenspring changed its form of organization to a Delaware limited liability company. C. Ashton Newhall and James Lim jointly control 100% of Greenspring. Greenspring provides financial and investment advisory services for the benefit of various private investment funds as well as certain investment accounts (collectively, the “Greenspring Funds”). A related person of the Adviser generally acts as general partner of each Greenspring Fund. The Adviser controls investments made on behalf of many of the Greenspring Funds (such Greenspring Funds, the “Greenspring Discretionary Funds”) and makes investment recommendations on behalf of other Greenspring Funds (such Greenspring Funds, the “Greenspring Advisory Funds”). The Adviser monitors the activities of investments made by the Greenspring Funds and the financial position of the general partners of the Greenspring Discretionary Funds. Greenspring generally recommends investments in privately traded venture and private equity funds and privately traded companies, both in the primary and secondary markets. In addition, the Adviser may also make investment decisions with respect to the securities of public companies held directly by the Greenspring Funds, which are, generally, the result of an IPO, public acquisition or distribution in- kind from an underlying fund investment. The Adviser manages all of the Greenspring Discretionary Funds on a discretionary basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Greenspring Discretionary Fund’s Governing Documents (as defined below). The Adviser manages the Greenspring Advisory Funds on a non-discretionary basis in accordance with the terms of each Greenspring Advisory Fund’s Governing Documents. Interests in the Greenspring Funds are offered exclusively to accredited investors pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) and/or qualified purchasers pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). In general, the Greenspring Funds are formed to make, hold and dispose of privately negotiated equity and equity-related investments.

The Adviser tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and investment restrictions of each Greenspring Fund pursuant to the confidential private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement and other governing documents of such Greenspring Fund (collectively the “Governing Documents”). Investors and prospective investors should refer to the Governing Documents for more complete information on the investment objectives and investment restrictions with respect to such Greenspring Fund. There is no assurance that any of the Greenspring Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved.

In accordance with common industry practice, one or more of the Greenspring Fund general partners may enter into side letters or similar agreements with certain investors pursuant to which the general partner grants such investors specific rights, benefits, or privileges that are not generally made available to investors. The Adviser does not enter into such side letters if they would cause a material change in the investment objectives of the Greenspring Funds. The Adviser does not participate in wrap fee programs. As of March 19, 2020 the Adviser has $12.373 billion under management on a discretionary basis and $14.4 million under management on a non-discretionary basis. Greenspring Back Office Solutions, LLC (“GBOS”), an affiliate of Greenspring, was established in 2010. GBOS provides certain administrative and back office support functions to certain unaffiliated funds in exchange for a fee and/or carried interest. As an incentive for one or more unaffiliated funds to contract with GBOS, Greenspring may, from time to time, offer to assist an unaffiliated fund, on such unaffiliated fund’s request, in certain matters which may include but are not limited to reviewing the governing documents, assisting with fund formation, reviewing potential investment opportunities, monitoring certain investments and reporting on the status of investments. Greenspring will not receive a fee for any such assistance, but will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto. GBOS shares employees and office space with Greenspring.

The Adviser, from time to time, uses distribution management services, currently of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), wherein T. Rowe Price is provided with the authority to sell publicly traded securities that are received by the Greenspring Funds. Accordingly, T.Rowe Price may be considered a sub-adviser with respect to certain of the Greenspring Funds. The Adviser's use of T. Rowe Price is subject to its obligation to seek best execution for its clients as discussed in Item 12. T. Rowe Price is also an investor in certain Greenspring Funds. please register to get more info
