LL FUNDS, LLC


A. General Description of Advisory Firm LL Funds, LLC (the “Firm” or “we”) was formed on March 16, 2009. The Firm primarily provides advisory services on a discretionary basis to private investment funds. We also provide discretionary investment advice on a separate account basis. The controlling owner of the Firm is Roberto M. Sella. In November 2018, we acquired a substantial interest in Ultra Capital, LLC (“Ultra Capital”). The Firm and Ultra Capital Management Partners, LLC are Ultra Capital’s principal owners. Ultra Capital is a Delaware limited liability company founded in December 2014. Ultra Capital primarily provides advisory services on a discretionary basis to private investment funds. On October 10, 2019, Ultra Capital became a relying adviser on our umbrella registration with the SEC. B. Description of Advisory Services We provide investment advice with respect to fixed income securities and mortgage-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations. Certain of our Firm-sponsored private investment funds (our “Funds”) make investments in other asset-backed loans, mortgage-related instruments, equities and equity-linked securities of loan originators, servicers and other operating companies involved in the business of lending, or finance special situation loan portfolios originated by high quality portfolio companies. Our Funds may purchase loans or hold securities whose returns are derived from loans. The Funds to which we provide advisory services are:
• Permit Capital Mortgage Fund, L.P. (“PCMF”),
• LL Capital Partners I, L.P. (“LLCP I”),
• LL Capital Partners II, L.P. (“LLCP II”),
• LL Capital Partners II Parallel, L.P. (“LLCP II Parallel”)
• LL Mortgage Fund, L.P. (“LLMF”),
• LL Private Lending Fund, L.P. (“LLPLF”),
• LL Private Lending II, L.P. (“LLPLF II”)
• LLCP I Co-Invest (Dividend Finance), LLC (“DF Co-Invest”) PCMF is a Delaware series limited partnership and each series of PCMF (each, a “PCMF Series”) has its own investment strategy and group of investors and owns its own portfolio of securities. Currently, all PCMF Series have been wound up other than Series B, J, K, L and M. LLCP I, LLCP II, LLCP II Parallel, LLMF, LLPLF, LLPLF II and DF Co-Invest are Delaware limited partnerships. We also manage two segregated portfolio companies, each organized in the Cayman Islands, which are limited partners in certain of our Funds. These are LL Funds Offshore SPC, Ltd (“LLF Offshore Fund”) and LL Funds Offshore SPC II, Ltd (“LLF Offshore II Fund”). Each segregated portfolio of LLF Offshore Fund and LLF Offshore II Fund (each, a “Segregated Portfolio”) has its own investment strategy, group of investors and has an interest in a separate portfolio of securities. Each segregated portfolio of LLF Offshore Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a specific PCMF Series or LLCP I (i.e., in a master/feeder arrangement). LLF Offshore II Fund was formed to hold an interest in LLMF but is inactive and has no assets. From time to time, we may provide investment advice to newly formed private investment funds, and newly formed segregated portfolios of LLF Offshore Fund and LLF Offshore II Fund. In this brochure, we sometimes use the term “Fund Client” to refer to any private investment fund or a series or segregated portfolio of a private investment fund, including any PCMF Series. We and Ultra Capital manage the assets of our and their respective Clients in accordance with the investment strategies and restrictions (if any) of the Clients as set forth in their respective governing documents and confidential private placement memoranda. All investment decisions for a Client are the responsibility of the general partner or directors of the Client and not of the investors therein except as expressly noted in this Brochure. Investment decisions are not made for any specific investors in a Client. In addition, from time to time, the Firm may manage assets of institutional investors such as pooled investment vehicles on a separate account basis (each, a “Separate Account Client”). In this Brochure, the term “Client” refers to any Fund Client or Separate Account Client. We manage the assets of Separate Account Clients in accordance with the investment strategies and restrictions (if any) of the Separate Account Clients as set forth in their governing documents and/or investment advisory agreements with the Firm. Our Separate Account Clients may invest in a Fund Client or may invest side by side with a Fund Client in the same investment assets as those in which the Fund Client invests, and may own additional investment assets as well. In certain cases where our Separate Account Clients are invested in our Fund Clients, we are required to pass through voting and other rights and take action with respect to such passed-through matters as directed by the investor in such Separate Account Clients. Neither the Firm nor Ultra Capital provides investment advice to individuals. Ultra Capital provides management and advisory services to real asset vehicles. Our acquisition of a substantial interest in Ultra Capital gave us access to an additional number of investment professionals focused on investments into the real estate finance sectors, in particular investments in sustainable infrastructure projects. Our Firm’s personnel comprise a majority of the Board of Managers of Ultra Capital and, through two seats on Ultra Capital’s investment committee, we provide investment advice with respect to Ultra Capital Sustainable Infrastructure Fund II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and its related feeder funds (“RAV II”), and Ultra Capital RAV I 2016, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its related feeder fund company (“RAV I”). We share in the management fees and performance based fees (i.e., carry) earned from RAV II and in the management fees earned from RAV I. RAV II is the “master fund” in a master-feeder fund structure. RAV II accepts direct investments by U.S. taxable investors and serves as the master fund to two feeder funds for U.S. tax-exempt investors. Ultra Capital Sustainable Infrastructure TE Feeder Fund II, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership that serves as a pooling vehicle for U.S. tax-exempt investors and generally will invest all of its investable capital in Ultra Capital Sustainable Infrastructure TE Intermediate Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that will in turn invest all of its investable capital in a limited partner interest in RAV II as part of a “master-feeder” structure. An affiliate of Ultra Capital serves as the general partner of each of the foregoing entities (the “Ultra Capital Governing Entities”). Ultra Capital does not provide any investment management services to the Firm’s Clients. However, certain investors in the Firm’s Clients may be invested directly or indirectly in RAV II. See Item 10 (Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations) at page 17 for additional information. References in this Brochure to “the Firm’s Clients” or “our Clients” means Clients which are managed by Firm personnel, and references to “Ultra Capital’s Clients” refers to Clients managed by Ultra Capital personnel. The Firm and Ultra Capital operate an integrated advisory business under a single compliance program and Code of Ethics. C.
