12 West is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on August 23, 2011. We provide investment management services to hedge funds, including 12 West Capital Offshore Fund LP, 12 West Capital Fund LP, 12 West Punch Card Fund LP and DC Opportunity Fund LLC (collectively, the “Funds”). 12 West Capital Fund LP and 12 West Capital Offshore Fund LP participate in investments on a side-by-side basis. In managing the Funds, 12 West invests principally in equity, equity related and credit securities traded globally.
12 West Capital Management, LLC is the General Partner of 12 West and Joel Ramin is its Managing Member.
12 West Capital GP LLC is the Funds’ General Partner (the “General Partner”). Mr. Ramin is also the Managing Member of 12 West Capital GP LLC.
As of December 31, 2019, we managed U.S. $3,111,214,000 in regulatory assets, all of which is managed on a discretionary basis. please register to get more info
Fees and compensation are described in the advisory contracts we enter into with each Fund, as well as in the applicable offering memorandum for each Fund. All of the investors in the Funds are “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)).
We generally receive an annual management fee based on a percentage of the assets under management, calculated and charged on a quarterly basis collected in advance. We have the right to reduce waive, assign, participate or otherwise share the management fee chargeable.
An investor admitted into or withdrawing, either partially or in whole, from a Fund other than on the first day of a calendar quarter is subject to a prorated management fee.
The General Partner receives a performance-based allocation based upon a percentage of the annual net appreciation of each investor’s capital account at the end of each year subject to a high water mark limitation. Certain Funds are subject to a rolling three year claw-back provision (as described fully in such Fund’s management agreement).
Management fees and performance allocations are deducted from the Funds’ accounts by instructing the Funds’ fund administrator.
The Funds shall pay for their organizational and initial offering expenses as well as for their operating expenses including, but not limited to, all accounting, auditing, tax preparation, legal, administration, research, and trading costs. All the expenses paid by the Funds are fully described in the Funds’ management agreements. From time to time, the Funds incur brokerage and other transaction costs. For further details on our brokerage practices, refer to Item 12 of this brochure. 12 West and its employees do not accept compensation, including sales charges or service fees, from any person for the sale of securities or other investment products. please register to get more info
As discussed above, the General Partner of the Funds receives a performance-based allocation from the Funds. All investors in the Funds who are charged a performance allocation meet the “Qualified Client” standard as set forth in Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Net appreciation includes net realized and unrealized profits and losses, fund expenses and is calculated net of management fees, but before the performance-based allocation.
Performance-based allocation arrangements may create an incentive for 12 West to recommend investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different arrangement. Such arrangements may also create an incentive to favor higher paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. 12 West has procedures designed and implemented to ensure that all Funds are treated fairly and equally, and to prevent this conflict from influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among Funds.
No other hourly, flat or asset-based fees are charged to the Funds. please register to get more info
Our clients are private investment funds. Investors in such private investment funds are generally high net worth individuals and institutional investors that qualify as “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and “qualified purchasers” (as defined under the 1940 Act). The subscription minimums for each Fund are disclosed in the offering documents which are provided to investors or prospective investors for each Fund. please register to get more info
In managing the Funds, we invest both long and short, in equity, equity related, and credit securities. In addition, we also invest in preferred stocks, warrants, rights, options, swaps and other derivative instruments, bonds and other fixed income securities, futures and money market instruments.
We believe that investing in companies with an equity market capitalization of U.S. $2.5 billion or less (“Small Cap”) offers the greatest opportunity to generate superior compounded annual net returns, predominantly because:
(i) There is a dearth of high quality investment managers investing in Small Cap companies; (ii) There is significantly less investment research coverage available on Small Cap companies versus larger companies; and (iii) Often Small Cap investment managers do not allocate the required financial or other resources to properly evaluate and analyze Small Cap companies. We aim to manage the asset size of the Funds to allow for a concentrated portfolio of long and short positions in Small Cap companies. We typically invest in long positions with a three year investment horizon. If we cannot find compelling investment opportunities, the Funds will hold cash. We believe this discipline is critical to generating superior investment results.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Funds involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. Investors should consider the following factors before investing in the Funds. The following list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Funds. See the Funds’ management agreements for a more exhaustive list of risk factors. Prospective investors are urged to consult their professional advisers and to thoroughly review the offering memoranda for each particular Fund before deciding to make an investment in any of 12 West’s Funds. Market Risk. The profitability of any investment activity is affected by general economic conditions, which may affect the level and volatility of interest rates and timing of investor participation in both equities and interest-sensitive securities. The most difficult type of market environment for our strategy is expected from a speculative environment, in which hype, promotional management teams and/or investor euphoria drive stock price movements instead of company fundamentals.
No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program will be successful or that the Funds’ returns will exhibit low correlation with the overall market.
The profitability of a significant portion of the Funds’ investment program depends to a great extent upon our correctly predicting the future course of price movements of securities and other investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to accurately predict these price movements.
Leverage; Interest Rates; Margin. From time to time, we utilize leverage as part of our investment strategy. While leverage can serve to increase returns to investors, the use of leverage can also expose the Funds to additional levels of risk including (i) greater losses from investments than would otherwise have been the case had the Funds not borrowed to make the investments, (ii) margin calls or changes in margin requirements may force premature liquidations of investment positions and (iii) losses on investments where the investment fails to earn a return that equals or exceeds the Funds’ cost of leverage. In case there is a sudden and precipitous drop in value of the Funds’ assets, we might not be able to liquidate their assets quickly enough to repay their borrowings, further magnifying the losses incurred by the Funds.
In certain credit environments, we may find it difficult or impossible to obtain leverage for the Funds, which could impair our ability to fully implement our investment strategy. In addition, leverage can be terminated on short notice by the lender, which can result in our being forced to unwind positions quickly and at prices below what we deem to be fair value for the positions.
Short Selling. From time to time, we engage in the short selling of securities. Short selling involves our borrowing securities which we do not own and then selling them for delivery to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed securities at a later date. Short selling can enable the Funds to profit from declines in market prices to the extent such declines exceed the transaction costs and the costs of borrowing the securities. A short sale creates the risk of a theoretically unlimited loss, since the price of the underlying security could theoretically increase without limit, thus increasing the cost to the Funds of buying those securities to cover the short position. Short sellers are also subject to the potential risk of a “short squeeze” which is a situation in which the short seller is prematurely forced out of a short position. The lender of a security used to cover a short generally has the right to demand the return of the security that has been loaned at any time. If a lender were to demand the return of securities that the Funds had borrowed, the Funds would be required to replace the borrowed securities by borrowing identical securities from another lender. If we are unable to replace the borrowed securities, we would be required to close out the short sale by buying identical securities in the market in order to make delivery. In such event, the Funds could incur significant losses if the securities sold short had increased in value. Securities of Sub-Investment Grade Companies. We may advise the Funds to invest in the securities of sub-investment grade and highly leveraged companies. Although such investments may result in significant returns to the Funds, they may involve a substantial degree of interest- rate and liquidity risk. If “natural leverage” created by a company’s high level of borrowing were to work against our short position, there is a risk of increased loss for the Funds. Although we may not do so frequently, should we purchase distressed and/or non-performing debt securities, and subsequent to purchasing them find that they are no longer readily traded by broker-dealers, these securities may not show any return for a considerable period of time and ultimately may not compensate the investors adequately for the risks assumed. Small to Medium Capitalization Companies. We invest in the stocks of companies with small or medium-sized market capitalizations. While we believe that making such investments can provide significant potential for capital appreciation, investing in small or medium-sized market capitalization stocks can also be riskier than investing in stocks of larger companies. The prices of smaller-capitalization stocks are often more volatile than those of large- capitalization stocks. In addition, due to thin trading in some smaller-capitalization stocks, these stocks may be less liquid than larger capitalization stocks. Derivative Instruments. 12 West could potentially create leverage via the use of instruments such as options and other derivative instruments. The value of a derivative depends largely upon price movements in the underlying asset; hence many of the risks applicable to trading the underlying asset are also applicable to derivatives of such asset. In addition, there are a number of other risks associated with derivatives trading, such as increased exposure to liquidity risks and counterparty risks. Options can provide a greater potential for profit or loss than an equivalent investment in the underlying asset and may involve different risks than investing directly in the underlying asset.
From time to time, the Firm advises the Funds to purchase and sell ("write") options on equities on national and international securities exchanges. The seller ("writer") of a covered put option (i.e., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) receives a premium for writing the put option, but gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security below the exercise price of the option and assumes the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying security above its sales price (in establishing the short position). The writer of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of losing its entire investment in the put option.
The writer of a covered call option (i.e., the writer holds the underlying security) receives a premium for writing the call option, but assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the value of the underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The writer of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of losing its entire investment in the call option. Options may be cash settled, settled by physical delivery or by entering into a closing purchase transaction. In entering into a closing purchase transaction, the Funds may be subject to the risk of loss to the extent that the premium paid for entering into such closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written. Futures Contracts. The use of futures is a highly specialized activity which involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, and there can be no guarantee that their use will increase the Funds’ return or not cause the Funds to sustain large losses. While the use of these instruments by the Funds may reduce certain risks associated with portfolio positions, these techniques themselves entail certain other risks. The Funds could experience losses if the values of their futures positions were poorly correlated with their other investments, or if they could not close out their positions because of an illiquid market. In addition, the Funds will incur transaction costs, including trading commissions, in connection with their futures transactions and these transactions could significantly increase the Funds’ investment turnover rate. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for futures contracts or options purchased or sold, and the Funds may be required to maintain a position until exercise or expiration, which could result in losses. Many futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit. Contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days permitting little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures and options positions and potentially subjecting the Funds to substantial losses.
Counterparty Risk. Some of the markets in which we effect transactions are "over-the- counter" or "interdealer" markets. The participants in such markets are typically not subject to credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of "exchange-based" markets. This exposes the Funds to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether bona fide or not) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Funds to suffer a loss. Such "counterparty risk" is accentuated for contracts with longer maturities where events may intervene to prevent settlement, or where the Funds have concentrated their transactions with a single or small group of counterparties. We are not restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty or from concentrating any or all of our transactions with a single counterparty. The ability of the Funds to transact business with any one or number of counterparties, the lack of any meaningful and independent evaluation of such counterparties' financial capabilities and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Funds.
Custody Risk. There are risks involved in dealing with the custodians or prime brokers who settle Fund trades. The Funds maintain custody accounts with Morgan Stanley & Co, LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. Inc as its prime brokers and custodians (the “Prime Brokers”). Although we monitor the Prime Brokers and believe that they are appropriate custodians, there is no guarantee that the Prime Brokers, or any other custodians that the Funds may use from time to time, will not become bankrupt or insolvent. While both the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the U.S. Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 seek to protect customer property in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency, failure, or liquidation of a broker-dealer, it is likely that, in the event of a failure of a broker-dealer that has custody of Fund assets, the Funds would incur losses due to their assets being unavailable for a period of time and/or the ultimate receipt of less than full recovery of their assets. 12 West and/or the Prime Brokers may appoint sub-custodians in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions to hold the assets of the Funds. The Prime Brokers may not be responsible for cash or assets which are held by sub-custodians in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, nor for any losses suffered by the Funds as a result of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any such sub- custodian. The Funds may therefore have potential exposure on the default of any sub- custodian and, as a result, many of the protections that would normally be provided to a Fund by a custodian may not be available to the Funds. Under certain circumstances, including certain transactions where the Funds’ assets are pledged as collateral for leverage from a non- broker-dealer custodian or a non-broker-dealer affiliate of the Prime Brokers, or where the Funds’ assets are held at a non-U.S. custodian, the securities and other assets deposited with the custodian or broker may not be clearly identified as being assets of the Funds and hence the Funds could be exposed to a credit risk with regard to such parties. Custody services in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions remain undeveloped and, accordingly, there is a transaction and custody risk of dealing in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. Given the undeveloped state of regulations on custodial activities and bankruptcy, insolvency, or mismanagement in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, the ability of the Funds to recover assets held by a sub-custodian in the event of the sub-custodian's bankruptcy or insolvency could be in doubt, as the Funds may be subject to significantly less favorable laws that lack many of the protections that would be available under U.S. laws. In addition, there may be practical or time problems associated with enforcing the Funds’ rights to its assets in the case of a bankruptcy or insolvency of any such party.
Diversification Risk. The Funds will be heavily concentrated in equity securities. In addition, the Funds may not be diversified among industries, geographic areas or issuers. Accordingly, the Funds may be subject to a more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Funds were required to maintain a wide diversification among industries, investment areas, types of securities and issuers.
Risk of Global Investing. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including non-U.S. governments) and securities denominated or whose prices are quoted in non-U.S. currencies pose, to the extent not properly hedged, currency exchange risks (including blockage, devaluation and non-exchangeability) as well as a range of other potential risks including expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, illiquidity, price volatility and market manipulation. In addition, less information may be available regarding securities of non- U.S. issuers, and non-U.S. issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of U.S. issuers. Transaction costs of investing in non-U.S. securities markets are generally higher than in the U.S. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of exchanges, brokers and issuers than there is in the U.S. The Funds might have greater difficulty taking appropriate legal action in non-U.S. courts. Non-U.S. markets also have different clearance and settlement procedures which in some markets have at times failed to keep pace with the volume of transactions, thereby creating substantial delays and settlement failures that could adversely affect the Funds’ performance. Currency Risks. The Funds’ investments that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are subject to the risk that the value of the particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies. As a result, the Funds could realize a net loss on an investment, even if there were a gain on the underlying investment before currency losses were taken into account. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political developments. We may seek to hedge these risks by investing in currencies, currency futures contracts and options on currency futures contracts, forward currency contracts, swaps, swaptions, or any combination thereof (whether or not exchange traded), but there can be no assurance that such strategies will be implemented or effective. Debt Securities. We may invest in unrated or low grade debt securities which are subject to greater risk of loss than higher-rated debt securities. The Funds may invest in debt securities which rank junior to other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer, all or a significant portion of which may be secured on substantially all of that issuer’s assets. The Funds may invest in debt securities which are not protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness. In addition, evaluating credit risk for foreign debt securities involves greater uncertainty because credit rating agencies throughout the world have different standards, making comparison across countries difficult. Liquidity; Valuation. While the Funds trade primarily liquid equities, we designate certain investments as a “Designated Investment” at the time of acquisition of such investment. Designated Investments generally include illiquid or difficult to value investments. The sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts. Limitations on Withdrawals. Our terms of withdrawal include restrictions and are set forth in the Confidential Offering Memoranda. An investor’s redemption from the Funds may be subject to a withdrawal fee. In addition, investors who either partially or completely withdraw from the Funds may still be subject to liability (“clawbacks”) related to a specific time period in which the withdrawing investor was invested in the Funds. Liabilities may include, among others, tax claims, claims of 12 West or its affiliates for indemnification, and liabilities arising from litigation.
For certain Funds we may also require, at any time, upon at least forty-five days’ prior written notice, that any investor withdraw all or a portion of his investment. please register to get more info

Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Pursuant to Rule 204A-1 of the Advisers Act
12 West has adopted a Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy that establishes various procedures with respect to investment transactions in accounts in which our employees or related persons have a beneficial interest or accounts over which an employee has investment discretion.
The foundation of the Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy is based on the underlying principles that:
• Employees must at all times place the interests of the Funds first;
• Employees must make sure that all personal securities transactions are conducted consistent with the Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy; and
• Employees should not take inappropriate advantage of their position at 12 West. All 12 West employees are deemed to be “Access Persons” and are required to adhere to a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy, which covers the duty of confidentiality as well as personal trading. All employees are required to certify their adherence to the Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy upon commencement of employment and quarterly thereafter. In general, employees (and members of their immediate households) are not permitted to invest in equities, options or futures except for the purpose of holding or liquidating any such holdings after the commencement of employment at 12 West. All such trades require written pre-approval from the CCO. This policy does not apply to transactions involving government securities or open-end mutual funds, ETFs or other instruments which afford the investor no discretion over individual securities transactions. All 12 West employees must direct their brokers to send duplicate copies of trade confirmations and brokerage statements to the CCO. These records are used to monitor compliance with the foregoing policies.
Employees must also obtain pre-approval from the CCO before engaging in any outside business activities. Insider Trading Policies and Procedures
12 West maintains Insider Trading policies and procedures (the “Insider Trading Policies”) that are designed to prevent the misuse of material, non-public information. Among other things, such policies seek to control and monitor the flow of inside information to and within 12 West, as well as prevent trading based on inside information. On a periodic basis, our employees are required to certify to their compliance with the Compliance Manual, Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy, including the Insider Trading Policies.
Our Code of Ethics and Employee Investment Policy is available upon request. Privacy Policy
We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of our investor’s personal information. It is our policy to collect only information necessary or relevant to our management business and use only legitimate means to collect such information. We do not disclose any non-public personal information about our investors or former investors to anyone except for servicing and processing transactions and as required by law. We restrict access to non-public personal information about investors to those employees with a legitimate business need for the information. We follow security practices and maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards aimed at protecting investor non-public personal information. Additionally, we provide a copy of our privacy policy to our investors on an annual basis.
Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of our privacy policy. please register to get more info
We have full discretionary authority to manage the Funds, including authority to make decisions with respect to which securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities, the brokers or dealers to be used for a particular transaction, and the commissions paid. Our authority is limited by our internal policies and procedures and each Fund’s investment guidelines. In selecting an appropriate broker-dealer, we seek to obtain “best execution,” meaning generally the execution of a securities transaction for a Fund in such a manner that a Fund’s total costs or proceeds in the transaction are most favorable under the circumstances. Accordingly, in seeking best execution, we take into consideration pricing, quality of service, reliability, financial status, execution capability, commission rates, responsiveness, quality of research services (e.g., ideas, analysis, and investment strategies), specialized execution and block positioning capabilities, clearance, and settlement and custodial services. Aggregation In general, we aggregate trade orders for the Funds to achieve more efficient execution or to provide for equitable treatment among accounts. The Funds participating in aggregated trades will be allocated securities based on the average price achieved for such trades. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change brokerage and custodial arrangements for the purpose of trading on behalf of the Funds without further notice to investors.
Allocation
Our policy prohibits any allocation of trades in a manner that results in more favorable treatment for our proprietary accounts, affiliated accounts, or any Fund.
We follow a policy for the fair and equitable allocation of transactions that generally analyses each trade, taking into consideration the specifics of each trade and the characteristics of each Fund. To the extent that multiple Funds participate in a particular transaction such transaction will generally be allocated pro-rata among such Funds, unless facts specific to the transaction and Funds warrant an alternative allocation methodology. Best Execution
As an investment adviser, we have a fiduciary duty to seek best execution for Fund transactions. As a matter of policy and practice, we seek to obtain best execution for Fund transactions, i.e., seeking to obtain not necessarily the lowest commission but the best overall qualitative execution in the particular circumstances.
Principal Trading
Our policy and practice is to not engage in any principal transactions.
Soft Dollars
The Firm does not currently enter into soft dollar arrangements with brokers, although the Firm has in the past and may in the future. Soft dollar arrangements arise when an investment adviser obtains products and services, other than securities execution, from a broker in return for directing Fund securities transactions to the broker. Soft dollar arrangements may pose a conflict of interest for 12 West in that such arrangements may allow 12 West to pay with Fund commissions expenses that might otherwise be borne by 12 West. 12 West may have an incentive to select a broker based on 12 West’s interest in receiving the research or other products or services offered by such broker, rather than on Funds’ interests in receiving most favorable execution.
To the extent that it engages in soft dollar transactions, 12 West will comply with the safe harbor requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under this provision, in exercising its discretionary authority to select or arrange for the selection of brokers for execution of transactions for Funds, and, subject to its duty to obtain best execution, 12 West may consider the value of research and brokerage products and services (collectively, “Research”) provided by such brokers. Research may include, among other things, proprietary research from brokers, which may be written or oral. Research products may include, among other things, databases and quotation services. Research services may include, among other things, research concerning market, economic and financial data, a particular aspect of economics or on the economy in general, statistical information, pricing data and availability of securities, financial publications, electronic market quotations, performance measurement services, analyses concerning specific securities, companies, industries or sectors, market, economic and financial studies and forecasts, appraisal services, and invitations to attend conferences or meetings with management or industry consultants. Accordingly, if 12 West determines in good faith that the amount of commissions charged by a broker is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and products or services provided by such broker, a Fund may pay commissions to such broker in an amount greater than the amount another broker might charge. Trade Errors
On occasion, the Firm experiences errors with respect to trades made on behalf of the Funds. Trade errors can result from a variety of situations, including for example, when the wrong security is purchased or sold, when the correct security is purchased or sold but for the wrong account, when the wrong amount is purchased or sold (e.g., 1,000 shares instead of 10,000 shares are traded), or when a misallocation among the Funds occurs. We endeavour to detect trade errors prior to settlement and correct them in an expeditious manner.
The SEC has stated a general view that an adviser has a fiduciary duty to place trades accurately. Accordingly, we will analyze any trade error on a case-by-case basis to determine whether we will reimburse any losses suffered by a Fund as a result of a trade error. In addition, we will not correct a trade error made for one Fund by causing the other Fund to buy or sell the securities. We also will not directly or indirectly use soft dollars to correct trade errors. please register to get more info
Review of Accounts
The Funds are reviewed on a continual basis by the Portfolio Manager and our operations group to assure conformity with investment objectives and guidelines. We engage in active management for the Funds and, accordingly, review our transactions, positions and cash balances on a daily basis. We have also engaged an independent administrator to prepare monthly unaudited reports reviewing each Funds’ performance for the month. Audited financial statements are prepared by an independent auditor and are distributed on an annual basis. Reporting We will distribute an audited financial report for each Fund with respect to the previous fiscal year to all investors within 120 days of year end. In addition, 12 West reports net asset value updates to investors on a monthly basis. please register to get more info
We do not currently utilize any third party marketers or solicitors. please register to get more info
12 West will comply with the requirements of the Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”) with regards to 12 West’s custody of the Funds’ assets by meeting the conditions of the pooled vehicle annual audit provision.
We will provide all investors with audited financial statements for the Funds in which they are invested within 120 days of such Fund’s fiscal year end. In addition, the audited financial statements will be prepared by an independent accounting firm that is registered with, and subject to, review by the Public Company Account Oversight Board, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Investors should carefully review the audited financial statements of the Funds.

We have full discretionary authority to manage the Funds, including authority to make decisions with respect to which securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities, the brokers or dealers to be used for a particular transaction, and the commissions paid. These terms are set out in the offering documents for each Fund. please register to get more info
As per our policy, we vote proxies on a case-by-case basis. Prior to voting a proxy, the relevant employees of 12 West will make a determination, in their opinion, as to what vote if any, is in the best interest of the Funds. We maintain written records of the proxy vote on each occasion a proxy is voted. Investors may request a copy of our proxy voting policy, as well as the records of any proxy votes for the respective Fund in which they have an investment.
