ACUTA CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC


A. Description of the Advisory Firm Acuta Capital Partners, LLC (“Acuta” or the “Firm”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in July of 2011, provides investment management services to the Clients, as defined below. Acuta is principally owned by the Lin-Lay Family 2007 Trust dated September 7, 2007 (the “Lin-Lay Trust”), whose trustees are Grace Lay and Manfred Yu. Grace Lay is also the sole beneficiary of the Lin-Lay Trust. Anupam Dalal serves as the Chief Investment Officer and Manfred Yu is the Manager, Managing Director, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Acuta. Acuta provides investment management services, directly or through its affiliates, to several privately-offered pooled investment vehicles (the “Funds”) as well as to separately managed accounts (“Separate Accounts” collectively with the Funds, the “Clients”). Acuta serves as the investment manager to the Funds. Acuta Capital Partners PR, LLC (the “PR LLC”), a Commonwealth of Puerto Rico limited liability company and an affiliate of Acuta, serves as a sub- adviser to the Funds. Similar arrangements apply with respect to the management of separately managed accounts. PR LLC is wholly owned by the Survivor’s Trust created under the Lin-Lay Trust (the “Survivor’s Trust”), whose trustees are Grace Lay and Manfred Yu. Grace Lay is the sole beneficiary of the Survivor’s Trust as well as the Managing Member and Director of PR LLC. Manfred Yu is the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Director of PR LLC. Accordingly, the PR LLC is under common control with Acuta and is a related person of Acuta. Acuta and the PR LLC collectively conduct a single advisory business and Acuta is filing a single Form ADV in reliance on the no action letter issued to the American Bar Association on January 18, 2012. The PR LLC and its employees and personnel will be subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and the rules thereunder, and to all of Acuta’s compliance policies and procedures. Each of the personnel of the PR LLC will be deemed “persons associated with” Acuta (as that term is defined in section 202(a) (17) of the Advisers Act) and will be subject to SEC examination. As such, Acuta has aggregated the information contained within this Brochure to refer to, and include all information concerning, Acuta and the PR LLC. All references to Acuta in this Brochure should also be considered references to the PR LLC in the appropriate context. B. Types of Advisory Services Acuta provides investment advice and management to the following privately placed investment funds (the “Funds”): 1. Acuta Opportunity Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Acuta Opportunity Fund”); 2. Acuta Opportunity Offshore Fund, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Acuta Opportunity Offshore Fund”) that acts as a feeder fund to Acuta Opportunity Fund; 3. Acuta Capital Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Acuta Capital Fund” and together with Acuta Opportunity Fund, the “Domestic Funds”); 4. Acuta Capital Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company that acts as a feeder fund to Acuta Capital Fund (“Acuta Capital Offshore” and together with Acuta Opportunity Offshore Fund, the “Offshore Funds”); and 5. Acuta Ventures, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Acuta Ventures”). The Offshore Funds pursue their investment activities by investing all or a substantial portion of their assets in the Domestic Funds in a mini-master structure. Acuta Opportunity Fund and Acuta Capital Fund generally invest on a side-by-side basis. The Clients seek to achieve capital appreciation by profiting from market inefficiencies using a value- oriented, absolute return approach. Acuta attempts to achieve superior risk-adjusted investment results over time through the successful implementation of Acuta’s investment philosophy. With respect to Acuta Ventures, Acuta intends to make the majority of its investments in private investments or offerings of public securities that may require restrictions on trading, including, but not limited to, investments in unregistered stock and reverse mergers and may also make follow-on investments to each initial investment in the discretion of Acuta. There can be no assurance that the Clients will achieve this objective or that substantial losses will not be incurred. Please see Item 8 below for a more detailed description of the investment strategies pursued by the Clients and applicable risk factors. The Funds offer interests (the “Interests”) to certain qualified investors as described in the response to Item 7 below (investors in the Funds, including prospective investors, are referred to herein as “Investors”). C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions Advisory services are tailored to achieve the Clients’ investment objectives as described more fully in each Fund’s offering memorandum and governing documents or a Separate Account’s investment management agreement (the “Constituent Documents”). Generally, Acuta has the authority to select which and how many securities and other instruments to buy or sell without consultation with the Clients or their Investors. With respect to the Funds, Acuta does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of Investors and Investors may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Each Fund’s offering memorandum and other Constituent Documents set forth such Fund’s investment strategy, including guidelines regarding the types of securities the Fund will invest in and portfolio limits and Investors generally do not have the right to specify, restrict, or influence their Funds’ investment objectives or any investment or trading decisions. Separate Accounts are managed according to strategies that are similar to those of the Funds, but they may be subject to express investment restrictions or other special terms not applicable to the Funds and which are subject to negotiation with each Separate Account Client. In certain cases, Acuta has entered into side letter agreements with certain investors in the Funds (“Side Letters”) establishing rights under, or supplementing or altering the terms of, the Constituent Documents of the applicable Fund. Acuta may enter similar agreements in the future. Such Side Letters may cover many different topics, including without limitation: modified fee terms including fee waivers and reductions, the right to receive certain special allocations, modified notice or reporting requirements, and certain other matters relating to an investment in the applicable Fund. Acuta tracks all Side Letters that have been entered into with respect to each Fund to ensure that no investors are materially disadvantaged by the triggering of one or more provisions of a Side Letter. Once invested in a Fund, Investors generally cannot impose additional investment guidelines or restrictions on such Fund. D. Wrap Fee Programs Acuta does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Regulatory Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2018, Acuta manages $567,540,329 in assets on a discretionary basis. Acuta currently does not manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis. please register to get more info
