A. Description of advisory firm and principal owners. Hudson Realty Capital LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, also referred to in this brochure as “Hudson Realty”,
is a real estate investment advisory firm, which commenced operations in 2003. The
principal owners of Hudson Realty are David Loo and Richard Ortiz.
B. Advisory services offered. Hudson Realty provides investment advisory services to
various private partnerships and other private investment vehicles, including co-investment
and separate account vehicles (each, a “Fund” or a “Client” and, collectively, the “Funds”
or “Clients”) each of which focuses on a broad range of real estate-related debt and
opportunistic equity investments across multiple property types in the United States.
Interests in the Funds are only offered to qualified investors through private offerings.
Hudson Realty has affiliated entities that serve as the general partners to each of the Funds
(each, a “General Partner” and, collectively, the “General Partners”) and each of the Funds
is controlled by its respective General Partner.
Occasionally, Hudson Realty and Hudson Realty’s principals, officers, partners, directors,
employees, or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions for
the Firm (“Employees”) and their respective friends and families will co-invest collectively
and, in certain instances, with third parties. Those deals are structured as strategic joint
ventures (“Strategic JVs”) where decision making may be retained by the third-party
investor or may be shared by the co-investors. Although certain Strategic JVs compensate
Hudson Realty for performing origination, underwriting, servicing, reporting or other
ministerial or administrative functions, Hudson Realty does not provide investment advice
and consequently does not consider those principals, Employees, friends, family or co-
investors to be Funds or Clients with respect to these Strategic JVs. Occasionally, these
Strategic JVs are invested and structured in transactions on a side-by-side basis with
Hudson Realty’s Funds or Clients, if any. The Strategic JVs and co-investment
opportunities are only pursued if Hudson Realty has determined that the potential
investment is not appropriate for an existing Fund or Client, or alternatively, if such
opportunity may be appropriate for an existing Fund or Client then the applicable Fund or
Client has specifically elected not to invest in the opportunity.
Hudson Realty’s investment strategy is to make consistent and disciplined investments in,
and the asset management of, a broad range of real estate-related debt and opportunistic
investments throughout the United States, targeting middle-market investments. The types
of assets held by the Funds include, but are not limited to, first mortgages, subordinated
debt, preferred equity and direct equity in real estate. As discussed further in Item 8 of this
brochure, Hudson Realty generally concentrates its investment activity in middle market
transactions, targeting investments in office, industrial, retail, and single- and multi-family
residential properties.
Hudson and its affiliates are engaged in various real estate related activities, many of which
fall outside the scope of the stated investment objectives/mandates of its investment
advisory clients. These activities could give rise to potential conflicts of interest,
specifically with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities. On a case by case
basis, Hudson first assesses the suitability of each prospective new deal for its advisory
clients and, if it is determined that the investment is not appropriate, the Firm or its affiliates
may pursue a proprietary investment or other structure in which the funds/clients do not
participate. Hudson endeavors to ensure that any investment opportunities (which are often
non-regulatory real estate assets) do not create conflicts of interest or that any conflicts can
be mitigated. Additionally, Hudson also engages in certain other real estate related
activities (i.e. property management, loan servicing and asset underwriting assignments)
which are evaluated prior to engagement to minimize potential conflicts of interest with
Hudson’s asset management advisory business.
C. Tailoring to individual Client needs. Although Hudson Realty implements a
substantially similar strategy for all of the Funds, Hudson Realty tailors its advisory
services to the individual needs of a particular Fund, as may be necessary. Each Fund has
a set of specific guidelines that may limit the strategy, size, concentration, geography, type
of security and/or terms of the Fund’s underlying investments as described in each Fund’s
operating agreements and offering documents.
Investment advice is provided directly to each Fund and not to the individual investors in
the Funds. Although Hudson Realty does not provide tailored investment advice to the
individual investors in the Funds, the General Partners and/or the Funds may enter into side
letter agreements with certain investors which may modify such investors’ rights or
obligations under the operating agreements or such investors’ subscription agreement for
a particular Fund or otherwise provide such investor preferential treatment in connection
with such agreements, but, generally only to the extent the General Partner determines that
such modifications are not materially detrimental to other investors, the Fund, its assets or
the operation of its business.
D. Wrap fee programs. Hudson Realty does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. Assets under management. As of December 31, 2019, Hudson Realty managed
approximately $135,223,289 of regulatory assets under management on a discretionary
basis.

A. How Hudson Realty is compensated for advisory services. Hudson Realty’s fee and
compensation arrangements vary depending on the particular Fund or separate account
investor. The specific terms of such arrangements are set forth in each Fund’s operating
agreements and offering documents or separate account governing documents.
Generally, the Funds pay Hudson Realty a management fee calculated and charged to the
limited partners in the Funds based on either a percentage of the committed capital of the
limited partners or the limited partners’ invested capital. Such management fee is payable
quarterly in arrears.
In addition to the management fee, the General Partner of a Fund is entitled to receive
Carried Interest as defined and further described in Item 6 of this brochure.
B. Deduction of fees from Client assets. The Funds generally pay the management fee to
Hudson Realty quarterly in arrears. The management fee is deducted from distributable
proceeds, borrowings under credit facilities or capital contributions from each of the Fund’s
limited partners. The investors in the Funds are not separately billed for such services by
Hudson Realty.
C. Other types of fees or expenses. Pursuant to the respective Fund partnership agreements,
Funds are generally responsible for the organizational and offering expenses incurred in
the formation of such Fund. Those fees associated with the formation of a Fund’s General
Partner are sometimes subject to an expense cap. Fees exceeding this maximum amount,
if any, will be borne by the General Partner. Pursuant to the respective Fund partnership
documents, Funds are generally responsible for all Fund-related expenses, including (i) all
travel and other out-of-pocket expenses of the General Partners, Hudson Realty or either
of their affiliates incurred in connection with the evaluation, acquisition, origination,
ownership sale, hedging or financing of any potential investment, (whether or not
consummated); (ii) all litigation-related and indemnification expenses; (iii) all
administrative expenses of the Funds and all other expenses incurred by the General
Partners, Hudson Realty or any affiliate in connection with the operation of the Funds or
performing the General Partners’ or Hudson Realty’s duties, including maintaining the
Funds’ general ledgers, investment reporting, preparing the Funds’ financial statements
and tax returns and performing in-house legal services; and (iv) asset management and
servicing fees, as agreed by the investors and Hudson Realty and set forth in the respective
Funds’ governing documents. The Funds will also bear the organizational and ongoing
administrative costs of any subsidiaries of the Fund, including special purpose entities
formed to hold one or more of the Funds’ investments. To the extent Hudson Realty
requires the use of a broker to effect transactions for the Funds, such brokerage and
transaction costs are paid by the Funds. Please see Item 12 of this brochure for further
information on Hudson Realty’s brokerage activities.
Please refer to the Funds’ offering documents for further information regarding the fees
and expenses of Hudson Realty and the Funds.
D. Payment of fees in advance. As described further in Item 5.A. and B., the management
fee is paid quarterly in arrears.
E. No compensation for the sale of securities. Neither Hudson Realty nor any of its
Employees accepts compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products.

When an investment owned by a Fund is realized, the General Partner of such Fund may be entitled
to receive a distribution of the investment proceeds as liquidation or performance-based incentive
compensation (any such compensation is referred to in this brochure as the “Carried Interest”).
The payment of the Carried Interest to the General Partner may be subject to certain conditions
being satisfied such as the prior return of capital to Fund investors and the payment to Fund
investors of a predetermined rate of return on their invested capital as described in the operating
agreements and offering documents for each Fund. Each Fund has established a distribution
waterfall describing the distribution priority. For more information regarding the specific terms
of the Carried Interest, please consult each of the operating agreements and offering documents
for the Funds.
The Carried Interest is structured subject to Section 205(a)(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) in accordance with the available exemptions thereunder,
including the exemption set forth in Rule 205-3 of the Advisers Act. Accordingly, Hudson Realty
seeks to ensure that investors in a Fund that is directly or indirectly assessed a Carried Interest
satisfy the qualifications of Rule 205-3, and have been advised of the terms of such performance-
based fees and the associated risks.
Investors may be subject to the Carried Interest, although in accordance with the Funds’ operating
agreements and offering documents and the General Partners’ operating agreements, the General
Partners may, in their sole discretion, reduce or modify an investor’s obligation to pay Carried
Interest. The Carried Interest that may be due to the General Partners based on the Funds’ net
performance may create an incentive for Hudson Realty to cause the Funds to make investments
that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case if this special allocation were not made.
Hudson Realty manages this potential risk by ensuring through its investment approval process
that appropriate material investment decisions are made by the Investment Committee (as
described further in Item 13 of this brochure). In addition, the General Partners generally make a
contribution to the Funds, which further serves to protect against potential risks from performance-
based compensation arrangements.

Hudson Realty provides investment advisory services to the Funds, which are privately offered
pooled investment vehicles that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. Fund investors may include, without limitation, high-net worth individuals,
pension plans, trusts, financial institutions, endowments and other U.S. and non-U.S. entities.
Each investor is required to meet certain suitability requirements.
Typically, an initial investment in a co-mingled Fund must be at least $5 million, as set forth in
the Funds’ offering documents; however, the General Partners of the Funds have the sole discretion
to accept investments of a lesser amount. Certain other Clients of the Firm do not have a minimum
initial investment.

A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies. As more fully described in each Fund’s
offering documents, the Funds’ investment strategy is to make consistent and disciplined
investments in, and conduct the asset management of, a broad range of real estate-related debt and
opportunistic investments throughout the United States. In evaluating potential opportunities for
the Funds, Hudson conducts extensive due diligence, employs a value-oriented approach, assesses
each investment on a risk-adjusted basis, implements its proactive, integrated asset management
approach, and places significant emphasis on downside analysis. Hudson Realty focuses this
strategic approach on middle market transactions while employing a flexible investment approach.
Hudson approaches its investment process by evaluating investment opportunities through a
rigorous underwriting, due diligence process and proactive asset management throughout each
Fund’s investment period. The investment process incorporates a high degree of coordination,
institutional control, checks and balances, and risk management. Hudson Realty’s asset
management team participates in all phases of the process, from the early development of the
business plans through the disposition of each investment. The investment process is phased as
follows: (i) transactions are sourced through Hudson Realty’s established network; (ii) initial due
diligence is conducted; (iii) Investment Committee pre-qualification approval is obtained; (iv)
comprehensive analysis is conducted; (v) final Investment Committee approval is obtained; (vi)
the investment is executed; (vii) the transaction is actively managed through an extensive focus on
financial reporting and investor relations; and (viii) a disposition strategy will be executed.
B. Investment Risks. There are significant risks inherent in the strategy of investing in real estate
not associated with other investments and an investment in the Funds is only suitable for persons
of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity from an investment in the Funds.
There can be no assurance that a Fund’s investment strategy will be successful. Set forth below,
as well as in other Items in this brochure, is a summary of some of the investment risks disclosed
in greater detail in each of the Funds’ offering documents. Please refer to each of the Funds’
offering documents for more information on these and other risks relating to Hudson Realty’s
business and investments in the Funds.
General Risks of Real Estate. All real estate investments, ranging from equity investments to debt
investments, are subject to some degree of risk. No assurances can be given that the fair market
value of any real estate investments held by a Fund will not decrease in the future or that a Fund
will recognize full value for any investment that a Fund is required to sell for liquidity reasons. In
addition, the ability of a Fund to realize anticipated rental and interest income on its equity and
debt investments will depend, among other things, on the financial reliability of its tenants and
borrowers, the location and attractiveness of the properties in which it invests, the supply of
comparable space in the areas in which its properties are located and general economic conditions.
Additionally, a Fund may, in certain instances, be responsible for structural repairs, improvements
and general maintenance of real property. The expenditure of any sums in connection therewith
beyond those budgeted for by a Fund will reduce the cash available for distribution and may require
a Fund to fund deficits resulting from the operations of a property. These factors and any others
that would impede a Fund’s ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of its assets
could significantly affect the Fund’s financial condition and operating results.
Potential Lack of Diversification. The Funds intend to limit the impact on financial performance
of poorly performing investments by investing in investments of varying types, locations and
degrees of risk. However, there can be no assurance that such diversifications will be available on
terms acceptable to each of the Funds. A Fund may make a limited number of investments and,
as a consequence, the aggregate return and performance of that Fund maybe substantially
adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of even a single investment. Furthermore, the
aggregate return to such Fund may be affected by the Fund’s strategy to sell, foreclose upon, or
refinance an asset once the Fund believes that its value-added strategy has led to maximization of
the asset’s potential value. That is, aggregate returns may be adversely affected if Hudson Realty
does not correctly time its refinancing or disposition strategy.
Risks of Potential Leveraging. The Funds expect to use leverage to increase the potential value of
the assets to be acquired. While the use of leverage may enhance returns to the Funds and increase
the number of investments the Funds can make, it will also substantially increase the risk of loss
to a Fund. In the case that investments utilize leverage, the third-party lender would be entitled to
cash flow generated by such investment prior to a Fund receiving a return. If the Fund defaults on
secured indebtedness, the lender may foreclose and the Fund could lose its entire investment
securing such loan. In the instance that several investments held by a Fund are cross-collateralized,
multiple investments may be subject to the risk of loss. As a result, the Fund could lose its interest
in performing investments in the event such investments are cross-collateralized with poorly
performing or non-performing investments. In addition, recourse debt, which each Fund reserves
the right to obtain, may subject other assets of a Fund and the investors’ investments to risk of
loss. To the extent financing is not available on terms considered favorable by the Funds, the
number and size of investments that each Fund will be able to make will be limited. In addition,
even if the Funds are able to arrange for an acquisition line of credit, there can be no assurance
that longer term financing will be available with respect to any particular investment.
Illiquidity. It is unlikely that there will be a public market for much, if any, of the Funds’
investments. The Funds generally will not be able to sell their investments held in the form of
securities publicly unless their sale is registered under applicable federal and state securities laws,
or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. In some cases, the Funds
may be prohibited by contract from selling investments for a period of time. In addition, the types
of investments held by the Funds may be such that they require a substantial length of time to
liquidate. Accordingly, each Fund’s ability to respond to changes in economic and other
conditions may be relatively limited. In particular, no assurances can be given that all Funds
investments will be able to be liquidated prior to the scheduled expiration of the term of the Funds.
No assurances can be given that the fair market value of any of the Funds’ assets will not decrease
in the future.
Risks Associated with Commercial Mortgage Loans. Certain Funds invest in commercial
mortgage loans. The value of each Fund’s commercial mortgage loans will be influenced by the
historical rate of delinquencies, defaults experienced on the commercial mortgage loans and by
the severity of loss incurred as a result of such defaults. The factors affecting delinquencies,
defaults and loss severity include (i) industry sector and economic and real estate market
conditions (e.g. multi-family, retail, office, etc.), (ii) the terms and structure of the mortgage loans,
and (iii) any specific limits to legal and financial recourse upon a default under the terms of the
mortgage loan. Commercial loans generally expose a lender to a greater risk of loss through
delinquency and foreclosure since the ability of the borrower to repay a loan secured by income-
producing property typically is dependent primarily upon the successful operation and operating
income of such property, rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the
borrower. Most commercial mortgage loans provide recourse only to specific assets, such as the
property, and not against the borrower’s other assets or personal guarantees. Commercial
mortgage loans generally do not fully amortize, which can necessitate a sale of the property or
refinancing of the remaining debt amount at or prior to maturity of the mortgage loan.
Accordingly, investors in commercial mortgage loans bear the risk that the borrower will be unable
to refinance or otherwise repay the mortgage at maturity, thereby increasing the likelihood of a
default on the borrower’s obligations. Exercise of foreclosure and other remedies may involve
lengthy delays and additional legal and other related expenses on top of potentially declining
property values. In certain circumstances, the Funds could become liable upon taking title to an
asset for environmental or structural damage existing at the property.
Risks Associated with Mezzanine Loans. The Funds may make or invest in mezzanine loans.
Mezzanine loans typically are unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of the borrower,
and therefore have more risk of loss than senior debt. Mezzanine loans may increase a Fund’s
exposure to adverse economic factors such as significantly rising interest rates, severe downturns
in the economy and deterioration in the condition of the borrower or other obligor on the mezzanine
loan or the real estate industry as a whole. In the event that any borrower or other obligor on a
mezzanine loan is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the principal and interest
payments on its indebtedness, the value of a Fund’s investment in such mezzanine loan could be
significantly reduced or even eliminated. In addition, changes in the interest rates may adversely
affect the value of a mezzanine loan. Longer term debt obligations are usually more sensitive to
interest rate changes.
Risks Associated with Cybersecurity. Hudson Realty, the Funds and their service providers, may
be subject to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-
attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally,
denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information or
various other forms of cybersecurity breaches. In addition, cybersecurity risks may also impact
issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, which may cause a Fund’s investment in such
issuers to lose value. Despite the various protections utilized, systems, networks or devices
potentially can be breached. There can be no assurance that Hudson Realty, a Fund or its service
providers will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in
the future. For instance, cyber attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the
release of confidential information, including private information about investors, subject the
Funds and Hudson Realty to regulatory fines or financial losses, or cause reputable damage.
Risks Associated with Force Majeure. Hudson Realty’s strategies and investments on behalf of its
Funds may be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond Hudson Realty’s control,
including acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any
other serious public health concern, war, terrorism and labor strikes). Some force majeure events
could adversely affect Hudson Realty’s ability to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy
the force majeure event. In addition, the losses to Funds resulting from such force majeure event
could be considerable. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an infectious
disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international business
activity generally, or in any of the countries where Hudson Realty may invest specifically on behalf
of its Funds. Additionally, a major governmental intervention into industry, including the
nationalization of an industry, could result in a loss to Funds. Any one or any combination of the
foregoing may therefore adversely affect Fund performance.
Risks Associated with Pandemics and COVID-19. Occurrences of epidemics or pandemics,
depending on their scale, may cause different degrees of damage to global, national and local
economies. COVID-19 (also known as novel coronavirus or coronavirus disease 2019) presents
unique, rapidly changing and hard to quantify risks. In general, it has resulted in a significant
reduction in commercial activity on a global scale that has adversely impacted many businesses.
Governments, on the national, local and state level, are instituting a variety of measures including
lockdowns, quarantines and states of emergencies, which collectively may slow the global
economy to the point where it enters a recession. Although there is reason to believe that the
COVID-19 outbreak may be contained over a reasonable period of time, there can be no assurance
this will be the case and, in the meantime, global equity, bond and credit markets may be adversely
affected. Such disruption may adversely affect Fund returns, operating results and financial
condition.
C. Risks associated with investing in the Funds. An investment in the Funds involves a
significant amount of risk and should only be undertaken by investors capable of evaluating and
bearing such risk. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ investment objectives will be
achieved or that there will be any return of capital.
No Market for Limited Partner Interests. Under the terms of each Fund’s Partnership Agreement
and applicable securities laws, the limited partner interests may not be directly or indirectly
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in whole or part without the prior written
consent of the General Partner and exemption from registration under the securities laws. There
is no public market for the limited partner interests and none is expected to develop.
Lockup of Partnership Capital. Under the terms of each Fund’s Partnership Agreement, limited
partners are not permitted to withdraw profits, gains or capital prior to the liquidation of the Fund.
Default by Limited Partners. Although the Funds believe that all subscribers will have the
financial ability to meet their capital commitments, there can be no assurance that all capital
commitments will be honored. In the event that a limited partner defaults on a capital call, it may
be difficult for a Fund and its non-defaulting limited partners to make up the shortfall from other
sources. Notwithstanding the contractual remedies provided in each Fund’s Partnership
Agreement, any default by one or more limited partners could have a material adverse effect on
the Funds. In addition, it may be difficult, or impossible, to obtain or enforce a judgment against
certain potential limited partners, such as, for example, those affiliated with foreign governments
or international organizations established by treaty that enjoy certain immunities, including
immunities from taxation and service of process, for the amount of their capital calls, if the Funds
were to have such investors as limited partners. The inability of the Funds to enforce certain
potential limited partners’ obligations to contribute capital to the Funds could impair the Funds’
ability to take advantage of investment opportunities. In addition, a defaulting limited partner may
be subject to a buyout of its limited partner interest at prices reflecting a discount from the
hypothetical liquidation value, less costs and expenses, of that limited partner interest, or subject
to a partner loan diluting the defaulting partner’s return.

A. Broker-dealer registration. Neither Hudson Realty nor any of its management persons
are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered
representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Commodity industry registration. Neither Hudson Realty nor any of its management
persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a futures commission
merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person
of the foregoing entities.
C. Material relationships. Certain Employees of Hudson Realty hold ownership interests
and/or a Carried Interest in the General Partners. Hudson Realty and its related persons
may also form other partnerships or entities and offer investment opportunities in such
partnerships and entities in accordance with the operating agreements and offering
documents of the Funds as more particularly described in Item 11 of this brochure.
Hudson Realty and/or its affiliates may provide borrower and asset due diligence services,
debt servicing, deal-level asset management services and other similar services in
connection with the underlying investments made by a Fund and receive fees in connection
therewith, which such fees will not be offset against the investment management fee
described in Item 5.A above, except in limited circumstances as provided for in each
Fund’s governing documents.
Hudson Realty and certain affiliates are involved in joint ventures with third parties which,
in certain instances, may raise capital from investors. Many of Hudson Realty’s Employees
may serve in substantially similar capacities for such joint ventures. The investment
mandate for any joint ventures have been narrowly defined in terms of type and geographic
location of investable assets in order to avoid conflicts of interests with the business of
Hudson Realty and the Funds under its management.
Hudson Realty occasionally individually or jointly pitches business with other financial or
real estate business and/or professionals. This work is unrelated to Hudson Realty’s
investment advisory and asset management work and is limited in scope so as to avoid
conflicts of interest with the business of Hudson Realty and the Funds under its
management.
Certain separate account relationships retain discretion over their investment decisions but
engage and compensate Hudson Realty to source, originate, underwrite, negotiate, and/or
service the investments. Hudson Realty’s co-investment requirements vary based on the
specific separate account investor.
D. Other Advisers. Hudson Realty does not recommend or select other investment advisers
for the Funds.

Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics. Pursuant to Rule 204A-1 of the Advisers Act, Hudson Realty adopted a
Code of Ethics (referred to in this brochure as the “Code”) to ensure that Hudson Realty
fulfills its role as a fiduciary to the Funds. The interests of the Funds must always be
recognized, respected, and have precedence over Hudson Realty Employees. The Code
requires that Hudson Realty Employees act in the best interests of the Funds to the
exclusion of contrary interests, act in good faith and in an ethical manner, avoid conflicts
of interest with the Funds to the extent reasonably possible, and identify and manage
conflicts of interest to the extent they arise. Hudson Realty Employees are also required
to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities laws and make prompt reports
of any actual or suspected violations of such laws by Hudson Realty or its Employees. In
addition, the Code sets forth formal policies and procedures with respect to the personal
securities trading activities of Hudson Realty’s Employees. The Code requires that
Employees pre-clear certain public and private personal securities transactions; report
personal securities transactions in accordance with the Code on at least a quarterly basis
and submit reports to Hudson Realty regarding personal accounts and reportable securities
holdings at least annually. The Code also addresses outside activities of Employees,
conflicts of interest, policies and procedures concerning the prevention of insider trading,
includes restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts
and business entertainment items, and the pre-clearance and reporting of political
contributions. Employees are required to provide a written certification to Hudson Realty
as to agreeing to comply with the Code upon hire, and their ongoing compliance annually
thereafter. Copies of this Code may be requested by contacting Andrew Bloom, Hudson
Realty’s Chief Compliance Officer, at (212) 532-3553 or a
t [email protected].
B. Neither Hudson Realty nor any of its related persons recommend that any Fund acquire or
sell securities in which Hudson Realty or any related person has a material financial
interest.
C. As a matter of general practice, neither Hudson Realty nor any of its related persons acquire
or sell securities that are also recommended to the Funds.
D. From time to time, in appropriate circumstances and subject to satisfaction of the policies
and procedures set forth in the Code and the Fund’s governing documents, Hudson Realty
Employees and other related persons may co-invest in a Fund investment at the same time
as and on a side-by-side basis with the Fund’s limited partners and other investors. Hudson
Realty does not believe that this, common industry practice, gives rise to a material conflict
of interest, but any potential conflicts of interest are addressed by the Code and the Funds’
governing documents.

A. Hudson Realty has discretion on the types of investments to be made by certain Funds
subject to each of the Funds’ investment strategy and purpose as set forth in the operating
agreements and offering documents for each of the Funds respectively. Hudson Realty
generally does not make recommendations for investments by the Funds in public
securities as most investments are in privately negotiated real estate-related transactions.
Accordingly, Hudson Realty does not frequently select or recommend broker-dealers for
client transactions. In the event that a broker-dealer is selected or recommended, Hudson
Realty employs a due diligence process to ensure that any such transaction is executed in
the best interest of the Fund taking into account certain factors such as a broker’s execution
capability and trading expertise in addition to pricing.
1. Hudson Realty does not have any soft dollar arrangements.
2. Hudson Realty does not consider whether Hudson Realty or a related person of
Hudson Realty receives Fund or investor referrals from a broker-dealer or third
party because Hudson Realty does not frequently select or recommend broker-
dealers.
3. Hudson Realty does not have directed brokerage dealings.
B. Generally, aggregation of the purchase or sale of securities for various Fund accounts does
not apply to Hudson Realty as Hudson Realty primarily invests in private real estate-related
investments. See also Item 11.B., C. and D. of this brochure.

A. Monitoring of accounts. Hudson Realty’s investment professionals and asset
management teams continually review and monitor the Funds’ investments. Hudson
Realty’s investment professionals and asset management teams routinely meet to discuss
asset management activities as well as potential new investment opportunities. Hudson
Realty’s Investment Committee convenes as and when necessary to consider and approve
new investment opportunities and material investment decisions regarding the Funds’
existing investments, including dispositions and refinancings.
B. Review triggers. Hudson Realty’s investment professionals regularly supervise and
monitor the activities of the Funds, as referenced in Item 13.A of this brochure.
C. Reports to Clients. For certain of the Funds, Hudson Realty may hold an annual meeting
with some investors to review and discuss Fund status and the respective investment
activities. Additionally, the Firm invites all investors in each Fund to contact Hudson
Realty with any questions or concerns. Further, on a periodic basis with respect to certain
Fund vehicles, Hudson Realty may provide update letters as to the Funds’ activities to the
Funds’ investors.
In addition, the Funds furnish audited financial statements and tax information annually to
all of the Funds’ investors generally within 120 days after each Fund’s fiscal year end and
unaudited financial statements each calendar quarter.
Hudson Realty may also distribute certain other reports to the Funds’ investors upon
specific request from time to time. More information related to such reports is found in
the Funds’ operating agreements and offering documents.

A. Other compensation. Hudson Realty does not receive economic benefits as a result of
investment advice or advisory services provided by Hudson Realty to the Funds, other than
from the Funds.
B. Compensation for Client referrals. Neither Hudson Realty nor any of its related persons
compensates any person for Fund referrals. However, from time to time, in the context of
organizing a Fund, Hudson Realty may compensate one or more placement agents for
referrals of Fund investors. In such case, the management fee payable by a Fund is reduced
by the amount of the fee paid to placement agent, or the placement agent will share in the
profits of the general partner.

While the Firm or certain affiliates may be deemed to have custody of certain Client funds and
securities, the Firm itself does not maintain physical custody of such assets. As set forth in Rule
206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”), all Client funds and securities that fall
under the purview of the Custody Rule are held at accounts maintained in the name of the
applicable Client by entities deemed qualified custodians as defined in the Custody Rule.
Additionally, Hudson Realty delivers audited financial statements of the applicable Clients (such
Clients over which the Firm or an affiliate is deemed to have custody) to all investors in such
Clients within 120 days of the Client’s fiscal year end. The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are audited by an independent
accountant. The Firm is not deemed to have custody over the funds and securities of certain of its
Clients, and therefore such Clients are not audited. In the future, Hudson Realty may arrange for
surprise audits and quarterly reports from a qualified custodian, if appropriate, instead of delivering
audited financial statements.

Hudson Realty exclusively manages the business of the Funds and pursuant to the terms of the
Funds’ partnership documents has discretionary investment authority to manage the making of
new investments by the Funds and the management of the existing investments held by the Funds.

Clients in accordance with the Advisers Act. Further information can be obtained by
