BACM’s Advisory Services
BlueArc Capital Management, LLC focuses primarily on providing alternative investment funds to
qualified investors. With a primary focus on private fund investment strategies, BACM offers an array of
funds for its base of investors.
Private Funds
BlueArc Capital Management, LLC advises hedge fund of funds and other private fund of funds.
Each fund includes investment guidelines and parameters as well as specific reporting requirements
and accounting guidelines. These funds are managed to the specific objectives of the fund or
investment vehicle and are not tailored to the individual needs of the underlying investors.
Investment Management Accounts
In specific situations, BACM provides investment advisory services regarding asset portfolios,
including but not limited to alternative asset manager selection. Client accounts are continually
supervised and recommendations are made based upon the client’s specific financial situation and
objectives. Clients may impose any reasonable restrictions on the selection of these investments.
BACM enters into agreements to advise Managed Accounts only under limited circumstances and
the advisory services provided to each such Client, and the related terms and fees, are negotiated
on a case-by-case basis.
Assets Under Management
As of September 30, 2019, BACM has the following regulatory assets under management:
Discretionary $ 386,755,657
Non-discretionary $ 243,736,655

BACM’s investors are generally qualified purchasers, as defined in section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment
Company Act. As such, a detailed fee schedule is not included in this brochure. However, most of BACM’s
investors pay some or all the following fees:
Private Funds
BlueArc Capital Management, LLC advises hedge fund of funds, real estate fund of funds, and
other private funds. Regarding its various funds that invest in hedge fund strategies and real estate
strategies, BACM typically charges annual asset management fees. BACM also has the ability to
charge incentive performance fees on certain funds, although in some cases does not charge such
fees. These fees are negotiable and are deducted in advance from investor principal balances in the
fund on a monthly basis by the fund administrator. Asset management fees generally range from
50 to 150 basis points and are earned on either the capital committed or the outstanding principal
balance. Other types of fees that might be applicable to a particular advisory account are negotiated
with the client depending on the scope of services required. More details about these fees can be
found in the Funds’ offering documents
Regarding its various funds that invest in other private fund strategies, BACM typically charges a
management fee and carried interest for providing investment services. Management fees are
generally charged quarterly in accordance with the parameters established in the offering
memorandum for each fund and are deducted in advance from investor principal balances by the
fund administrator. Carried interest generally ranges from 10% to 20% and is earned on the returns
of the specific fund.
Investment Management Accounts
As stated above, BACM enters into agreements to advise Managed Accounts only under limited
circumstances and the related terms and fees are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
More detailed information about specific fees and expenses that Clients may pay is provided in the Offering
Documents. With respect to our Funds, each Fund is typically responsible for any reasonable, out-of-pocket
fees costs and expenses incurred by BACM related to the management and administration of the funds,
such as the following non-exhaustive list of items:
• brokerage commissions
• custodial fees
• bank service fees
• administrative expenses
• valuation and appraisal expenses
• organizational expenses (including the cost of the offering and ongoing sale of fund interests)
• costs of winding-up a fund
• interest expenses

BACM charges performance-based fees on certain private funds, as discussed further in Item 5: Fees and
Compensation. BACM does not currently manage any other accounts in the same manner or with the same
investment objectives as the private funds we advise. Accordingly, there is no side by side management.

As described above in Item 4: Advisory Business, BACM’s clients include private funds. On a separate
basis BACM advises single-family offices, multi-family offices, and high net worth individuals. BACM’s
Funds have a minimum allocation requirement of between $100,000 and $500,000 (allocations of less than
the minimums stated in each Fund’s PPM may be accepted at BACM’s sole discretion). BACM requires
the underlying investors in the Funds be accredited investors and, in some cases, require investors to also
be qualified purchasers (except for certain BACM personnel who qualify as “knowledgeable employees”
under Rule 3(c)-5 of the Investment Company Act).

BACM provides fund management and investment advisory services with respect to private fund
investments for single-family offices, multi-family offices, and high net-worth individuals. Depending on
the clients’ investment strategy and risk tolerance level, BACM may invest in one or more private fund
related instruments on behalf of any one of its clients.
With respect to investments in fund strategies (whether advised by BACM or sub-advised by third-party),
BACM assesses a series of due diligence points that relate to the performance of the specific strategy. Those
due diligence points include (but are not limited to) items such as general investment philosophies, nature
of the securities that are targeted for investment, diversification of the securities portfolios, leverage
amounts of the portfolios, risk exposure levels of the portfolios, analysis of various risk metrics, investment
team performance and experience, tenure of the investment team, operational and back-office infrastructure,
performance track record and analysis, investment research process, third-party vendors, financial controls,
counter-party risks, and other pertinent aspects of the investment strategy and operations. Investing in fund
strategies involves varying levels of risk that clients should be willing to bear in the event of loss. Those
risks include (but are not limited to) portfolio team risk, market risk, portfolio selection risk, financing and
portfolio leverage risk, operational risk, domestic and global economic risks, credit market risks, real estate
risks, legal and regulatory risks, and other risks that generally affect values of publicly-held securities.
Investing in private funds involves risk of loss that the investor should be prepared to bear. These losses
may include the loss of principal; a reduction in earnings (including interest, dividends and other
distributions); and the loss of future earnings. Such risks may also include, without limitation:
• credit risk
• derivatives risk
• equity risk
• fixed income risk
• foreign investment risk
• high yield risk
• leveraging risk
• liquidity risk
• management risk
• market risk
• new offering with no operating history risk
• repurchase policy risks
• small and medium capitalization company risk
• funds risk
• issuer and non-diversification risk
A more detailed description of the risks associated with each particular investment strategy is included in
the Offering Documents of the respective Funds, a copy of which is provided to prospective investors and
should be carefully reviewed prior to investing.

that would affect one of BACM’s client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the
integrity of its management.

BACM is the principal owner of the above-listed management companies and the investment manager or
co-investment manager for the above-listed private investment funds (together, the “affiliated funds”).
BACM, on a non-discretionary basis, may recommend that certain advisory clients meeting applicable
requirements consider allocating a portion of their investment assets to the affiliated funds. Our clients are
under absolutely no obligation to either consider or make an investment in any of the affiliated funds.
BlueArc Capital Management has an ongoing business relationship with Keel Point, LLC (“Keel Point”),
a multi-family office. In some cases, Keel Point receives a portion of the management and incentive fees
(if applicable) earned by the affiliated management companies. This contract with Keel Point does not
affect the fees paid by the Funds to the affiliated management companies.
In each of the relationships noted above, a BACM affiliate management company receives compensation
in addition to the advisory fees we receive. A conflict of interest exists where there is a financial incentive
for us to recommend that investors invest in these funds over funds similar to these because of the additional
compensation we or our affiliates receive, when in fact other funds for which we do not receive
compensation may be more appropriate or less costly.
We address conflicts of interest in several ways. Initially, we strive to disclose any conflict of interest we
believe may be material to an investor’s decision-making process. Investors are given the opportunity to
review and consent to this information prior to making an investment decision. We have a process in place
so our investment decisions, capital allocations, and recommendations for capital allocations have been
made only after we have performed what we believe to be thorough due diligence. During this process we
consider factors we believe to be relevant for an investment decision, including the nature of the conflicts,
the process to mitigate those conflicts, and the appropriateness of the investment. Our team performs
ongoing due diligence on all funds to determine whether our investors should continue holding an
investment. We require our advisory affiliates to adhere to our Code of Ethics, conduct periodic reviews of
personal and client accounts, conduct annual reviews of our overall compliance program, and have our
Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) review conflict situations.

TRADING Code of Ethics
BlueArc's Code of Ethics is based on the principle that BACM's employees owe a fiduciary duty to its
clients and must avoid activities, interests and relationships that might interfere or appear to interfere with
making investment decisions in the best interests of any client. Among other things, the Code requires
compliance with BACM's personal securities transactions procedures including pre-clearance of certain
securities transactions, compliance with federal securities laws, and the reporting of personal securities
transactions by all employees of the firm. All employees must comply with the conflict of interest policies
which include ethical restraints relating to clients, such as restrictions on accepting gifts from clients and
restrictions on political contributions. On at least an annual basis, all employees are required to provide
written acknowledgement of their receipt and understanding of the code of ethics and any amendments
thereof. Any violations of BACM’s Code of Ethics are required to be reported promptly to BACM’s CCO.
A copy of the firm's Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client upon request.
Interest in Client Transactions
We may advise clients on the purchase of our affiliated funds. A conflict of interest exists to the extent the
total compensation to BACM is increased. There is also a conflict that greater asset levels are likely to
attract more investment dollars. Clients who purchase our funds pay only the fees and expenses associated
with the fund, not for the advice to purchase the fund. A description of the risk factors and fees
(management fees and incentive compensation), is set forth in each of the affiliated funds respective
offering documents. Our clients are informed of our relationship to the funds we manage, and clients are
not required to purchase funds managed by us.
Personal Trading
Our employees are permitted to engage in personal securities transactions. These transactions raise
potential conflicts of interest if they were to trade in a security that is owned by a client or considered for
purchase or sale to a client. We have adopted policies and procedures that are intended to address these
conflicts of interest. Employees may buy or sell securities only if their personal transactions conform to
our written policies.

We do not select or recommend broker-dealers for client securities transactions in relation to the
management of client accounts. Brokers are selected and trades are effected by the underlying fund
managers.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
Many of the underlying funds in which our affiliated funds invest may enter into so-called “soft dollar”
arrangements, under which securities firms would provide or pay the costs of certain services, equipment,
or other items for the benefit of the fund, the manager, investment manager, the underlying funds’ managers,
or one or more of their affiliates, in consideration of the allocation to the firm of portfolio transactions (with
resulting commission income or profit) or commissions made on behalf of or with the fund or their
underlying funds. The services, equipment, and other items provided or for which payment is otherwise
made using such soft dollar and brokerage service arrangements on behalf of the manager, investment
manager, the underlying funds’ managers or one or more of their affiliates, may include, without limitation:
prime brokerage services; written and oral information and analyses concerning specific securities,
companies, or sectors; market, financial, statistical and economic studies and forecasts; proxy voting
services; independent pricing services; computer hardware, software and services, and other office
equipment and services used in the management of the fund and other client portfolios or for fund or other
client portfolio analysis, record keeping or reporting; investment research consulting fees and charges; fees
and charges for news wire, data processing, internet service provider, data access line and other
communications services; investment manager, fund and manager attorneys’, accountants’, bookkeepers’
and administrators’ fees and expenses; client and investor referrals; offering expenses (including without
limitation fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, filing fees, printing and mailing costs); the fund’s
proportionate share of conference and travel expenses related to fund and other client investment research;
quotation services; periodical subscription fees; custody, record keeping and similar charges. Any such
soft dollar payments would not reduce the amount of the management fees payable to the manager and its
designees. Any of these soft dollar arrangements could benefit the fund by reducing expenses or benefit
the manager, investment manager, the underlying funds’ managers or one or more of their affiliates without
any direct benefit to the fund. The soft dollar arrangements may also provide an incentive to trade more
actively to generate balances available to pay eligible expenses. While our affiliated funds have the ability
to enter into soft dollar arrangements, we do not currently have any such arrangements.
Block Trades
We do not execute transactions on investors’ behalf and, therefore, have no control over whether the
underlying trades are aggregated or not aggregated. The underlying fund’s offering memorandum and firm
brochure of the fund’s investment adviser contains specific information on whether they aggregate the
purchase or sale of securities for client accounts.

BACM’s Managing Directors monitor fund portfolio holdings on an ongoing basis. Fund investors receive
monthly and/or quarterly unaudited statements from the fund administrator where applicable. Annually,
Fund investors will receive audited financial statements within 180 days of the end of the year. In addition
to the financial statements, clients and fund investors may also receive results of operation, transaction
history, performance, and other matters on a monthly or quarterly basis. BlueArc investment management
accounts receive periodic holdings and performance reports as separately negotiated.

In addition to the economic benefit received from our relationship with Keel Point, as described under Item
10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations, BACM currently uses solicitors and, in the
future, may enter into additional written arrangements with third parties to act as solicitors for BACM’s
investment advisory business. All such compensation is fully disclosed to each client consistent with
applicable law. All such referral activities are conducted in accordance with SEC Rule 206(4)-3 under the
Advisers Act as well as relevant SEC guidance. In general, third party solicitors may receive a portion of
the fees otherwise payable to BACM. BACM is eligible to receive referral fees for introducing clients to
other investment advisors with which we have a signed referral agreement.

TD Bank and Atlantic Capital Bank are the qualified cash custodians of our private fund clients’ investment
assets. BACM is deemed to have custody of clients’ funds and securities because our affiliates serve as the
manager of the funds we advise. Audited financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and are delivered annually to all members of our funds within 180 days of
our funds’ fiscal year end. Therefore, underlying investors in the funds are not required to receive quarterly
custodial statements
The custodians and the underlying funds provide the independent administrator of each Fund with regular
reports on the assets held in the private funds. The administrator is responsible for confirming the value of
client account assets and calculating our advisory fees. The administrator provides Fund investors with
regular reports regarding their respective investments.

BACM offers advisory services on both a discretionary and a non-discretionary basis. When we service a
client’s account on a discretionary basis, we do not need advance approval from the client to determine the
timing, type, and amount of securities to be bought and sold for the account. BACM has discretion over
Fund assets. A client’s account serviced on a non-discretionary basis requires approval prior to the purchase
or sale of any investments. BACM does not have discretion over advisory services provided to clients
outside of the Funds it advises.
We may only exercise discretion if our client has provided that authority to us in writing. Upon engaging
BACM to manage a specific investment, a comprehensive investment management agreement is executed
which includes details of both the account investment objectives and guidelines and the powers of authority
delegated to BACM by the client. If BACM were to recommend an investment outside of the pre-
established guidelines included within the investment management agreement, a new agreement shall be
sought from the applicable client(s).

Because of the nature of the securities BlueArc Capital Management, LLC, we do not engage in proxy
voting. In the event equity-like voting issues are presented to us, we will adopt a proxy voting policy and
otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act.
On occasion, BACM may receive notices regarding class action lawsuits involving securities that are or
were held by Clients. As a matter of policy, BACM generally refrains from serving as the lead plaintiff in
securities class action matters and refrains from submitting proofs of claim where BACM believes the
recovery amounts are likely to be negligible. BACM cannot be assured of confidential treatment of the data
submitted in connection with the proof of claim, or BACM otherwise believes it is not in the best interests
of one or more Clients for BACM to be involved in such a claim. BACM makes these determinations in its
sole discretion. As a result, BACM in some cases does not participate in class action securities lawsuits in
which it may be entitled to participate. If BACM does participate in a class action securities lawsuit and
later receives any recovery amounts, those amounts will be credited to the participating Clients at the time
the recovery amounts are received. This may be materially after the relevant conduct alleged in the lawsuit
took place and investors in the relevant Client, have redeemed their interests (to the extent such Client is an
open-end Private Fund.). As such, investors who have already redeemed interests at the time that the
recoveries are received by the Client will not receive the benefit of those recoveries.

BACM does not require or solicit prepayment from its clients. BACM is not aware of any financial
condition likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. BACM is not and has not
been subject to a bankruptcy petition at any time.
