| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/24/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
FEES AND COMPENSATION Management Fee As an investment adviser to the Funds, and as further described in each Fund’s Offering Documents, Compass will be entitled to receive an annual management fee (the “Management Fee”) from the Funds, calculated and payable quarterly in advance. Until the earlier of the end of the Investment Period (which will generally be five years from the date of the initial closing of each Fund) or the date on which Compass becomes entitled to a management fee from a successor fund (the “Stepdown Date”), the Management Fee for each Limited Partner will generally equal 2% of such Limited Partner’s commitment. Subsequent to that date, the Management Fee for each Limited Partner will generally equal 2% of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions with respect to investments that have not been disposed of or permanently written off. The amount of Management Fees generally will not correspond with fluctuations in the net asset value of individual investments, aggregate investments in a portfolio company or of a Fund, including following the Stepdown Date, and will not be reduced in connection with any write-downs, except in the case of investments that have been permanently and completely written-off. Permanent write-off determinations are made at the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Offering Documents and the Firm’s valuation policy. In most circumstances, the step-down Management Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, including transaction fees charged by Compass in connection with the investment, which poses a conflict of interest in that the inclusion of such fees and expenses results in a higher Management Fee than if such transaction fees and expenses were not capitalized into the asset base. Compass is permitted, at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion, to defer all or any portion of the aggregate Management Fee payable by a Fund, and may defer, waive, reduce or calculate differently all or any portion of the Management Fee with respect to any Limited Partner. Affiliates of Compass that are also a Limited Partner, including but not limited to, principals, members, employees, Compass Guides and/or other Operating Professionals and their family members, will not pay any Management Fee (however these Limited Partners will bear their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses). Similarly, Limited Partners in Co-Investment Funds generally pay no Management Fees on the co-investment portion of their investment. As per the provisions of the Offering Documents, Compass is permitted to waive, defer, or reduce all or a portion of the Management Fee payable by a Fund in full or partial satisfaction of any obligation of a General Partner and certain employees to invest in and alongside such Fund. Certain waived portions of the Management Fee are treated by the Operating Documents as deemed capital contributions by the relevant General Partner, which is effectively invested in the relevant Fund on the General Partner’s behalf and operates to reduce the amount of capital the applicable General Partner would otherwise be required to contribute to the Fund. Limited Partner capital contributions are generally accelerated due to waived, deferred, or reduced Management Fees and/or the timing of receipt of fees subject to offsets, and Fund Limited Partners could thus receive less than the full benefit of such reductions or offsets (e.g., during periods when Compass no longer receives Management Fees and receives compensation that would otherwise be subject to offset, Compass, depending on certain elections that may be made by Limited Partners, may be entitled to retain such compensation without remitting any such amounts to the applicable Fund or its investments). The Management Fee can be paid from drawdowns of capital commitments, from borrowings incurred by a Fund, or from proceeds that would otherwise have been distributable by, or other available assets of, a Fund. All Management Fees were negotiated with Investors during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and are not subject to negotiation thereafter. Generally, Investors participating in a subsequent closing after the initial closing of a Fund are responsible for paying the Management Fee as of the date of the initial closing of such Fund, plus interest, as applicable. In addition, Management Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise notified to Investors. Management Fees will be reduced by, as applicable, (i) the amount of fees paid by a Fund to entities or persons acting as a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of interests in such Fund, (ii) costs incurred by Compass in connection with the organization of a Fund that exceeds a limit as specified in the Offering Documents of each Fund and (iii) if applicable, certain supplemental fees and compensation with respect to portfolio companies, including transaction, breakup, monitoring, directors, consulting or similar fees provided by Compass in connection with the activities of a Fund and/or any existing or proposed portfolio company during the period of time for which a Fund is paying a Management Fee (“Offset Fees”). If any, the amount of such Offset Fees attributable to Limited Partners will be applied to reduce the Management Fee for the following quarterly period (net of any unrecouped expenses which Compass or a General Partner has elected to pay on behalf of the Funds), provided, that Offset Fees shall not encompass any fees or other compensation paid (whether in cash or in-kind) or received by a General Partner, the Manager, any Compass Guide or other Operating Professional (i) as reimbursement for expenses directly related to a portfolio company, including reimbursements for any Compass employee who is seconded to a portfolio company, (ii) as profits interests paid to a Compass ... |
| Account Minimums and Types of Clients — Form ADV Part 2A (3/24/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
TYPES OF CLIENTS Compass provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds, and not individually to the Limited Partners in the Funds. The Funds limit their Limited Partners to (i) “accredited investors”, as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) either a “qualified purchaser”, as defined in the Investment Company Act, or a “knowledgeable employee”, as defined under Rule 3c-5 of the Investment Company Act. Limited Partners in the Funds must also meet certain other suitability qualifications prior to making an investment in a Fund. Each Fund’s minimum capital commitment is detailed in the relevant Fund’s Offering Documents. The minimum capital commitment is permitted to be waived by Compass in its sole discretion. On occasion, Compass offers co-investment opportunities for certain investors to invest alongside a Fund in certain Fund portfolio companies. As referenced in Item 4 above, co-investments have been structured either as (i) a separate Co-Investment Fund or (ii) a direct investment by certain investors into a portfolio company or its holding or operating company. When structured as a Co-Investment Fund, Compass considers the investment to be a Fund client, identifies the Fund in its Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1), obtains an audit for the Co-Investment Fund, reserves the option to assess a Management Fee and Carried Interest on such Fund and includes the amount of assets of such Co-Investment Fund in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. Opportunities to participate in co-investment transactions arise when Compass has the opportunity for an investment in an existing or prospective portfolio company and Compass determines that (i) an investment requires additional capital, (ii) all or a portion of the applicable opportunity is not required to be offered to a Fund, (iii) the full investment opportunity is not appropriate for a Fund, whether due to concentration restrictions contained in the Fund’s Offering Documents or otherwise or (iv) Compass believes the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co-investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Offering Documents, side letter agreements, agreements with lenders and such other factors as Compass will consider in its sole discretion, including those specified in its policies on investment allocation and co-investments. Subject to any restrictions contained in the Offering Documents of the relevant Fund or any side letter or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to participate in any co-investment opportunity. Compass’ exercise of discretion in allocating co-investment opportunities will not always result in proportional allocations among co-investors and such allocations can be more or less advantageous to some co-investors relative to other co-investors. When co-investment opportunities are permitted, it is possible that the size of the investment opportunity otherwise available to the Fund will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. Compass will select the investors that are permitted to co-invest in a particular portfolio company in its sole discretion based on various factors, including those detailed in its Offering Documents and as outlined in its internal policies and procedures. While one or more Investors in the Funds are on occasion invited to co-invest in a Fund’s portfolio companies, Compass is authorized in its sole discretion to offer any or all of a co-investment opportunity to investors that are not Limited Partners in the Funds. Co-investment opportunities are made available to select Fund Investors and third parties, including, without limitation, management or founders of the applicable portfolio company, co-sponsors, strategic investors, lenders, investment bankers, deal sources (including finders and consultants), other sponsors (including other private equity or venture capital firms), service providers, Operating Professionals, sector experts, strategic advisors, other persons or entities affiliated, associated or otherwise known to Compass or its personnel. Certain service providers, including lenders and individuals who source transactions, have in the past and are expected in the future to negotiate co-investment rights or co-investment priority rights as a component of their compensation in connection with the services provided. In certain cases, determinations to allocate such amounts of investment opportunities to vendors or service providers will be made prior to the determination of the availability of opportunity for other co- investors, and as such generally will decrease the amount of co-investment opportunities available. Compass can cause some co-investors in a Co-Investment Fund to bear a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees while not imposing a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees (or imposing different fees) on other co-investors. In certain cases, co-investment opportunities can include opportunities to invest in Fund portfolio companies at a time when there is not a corresponding Fund investment or on different terms than a Fund investment. Some co-investors can be provided with a board seat or observer rights at a Compass portfolio company. Such positions provide such persons with voting rights, access to information and potentially the ability to influence the operations and decision-making of the portfolio company that are not necessarily available to other investors. Although co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio company at substantially the same time and on substantially the same terms as the Fund making the investment, co-investors are generally subject to different economic terms than the Fund. Further, from time to time, for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or Co-Investment ... |
