Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services
provided by the Adviser.
PC Funds
As compensation for the investment management services rendered to each PC Fund, the Adviser
typically receives an annual management fee that is calculated and payable quarterly in advance
pursuant to the terms of the Adviser’s agreement with the relevant PC Fund and Offering Documents
thereof. Such management fees are generally based on the invested capital amount at the end of
the previous quarter and at an annual rate of up to 2.00%. If an investor withdraws from a PC Fund,
the Adviser will refund any unearned portion of any advance payment back to such Fund.
RE Funds
As compensation for the investment management services rendered to each RE Fund, the Adviser
typically receives an annual management fee at an annual rate of up to 1.50%, calculated and
payable quarterly in advance. Certain real estate investments may also have an asset oversight and
accounting fee which is a fixed fee that is paid to the Adviser and is typically less than $100,000
annually.
Fund Expenses
In general, each Fund will also bear all costs and expenses related to their organization,
management and operation, including, but not limited to:
• expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Fund, the Fund’s investment
management entity (i.e., the general partner) and other vehicles or entities, as applicable;
• expenses incurred in the offering of the Fund’s interests;
• the costs related to acquiring, holding and disposing of investments;
• third-party legal, accounting, tax and other consulting fees;
• fees paid to the administrator;
• costs associated with preparing and distributing tax documents and reports;

structuring, consulting, advisory, directors’, investment banking, monitoring, transaction, closing,
break-up, real estate brokerage, asset management, construction management, guaranty,
development or other transactional fees or fees for services rendered in relation to the investments
held by the Funds (“Other Fees”); provided that any such Other Fees are within a reasonable range
of market-standard fees and compensation that would be paid to third-party providers pursuant to
an arm’s length agreement.

and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any client account, other than
the management fees noted above and performance-based fees noted below.

| Account Minimums and Types of Clients — Form ADV Part 2A (8/7/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 7 – Types of Clients The Adviser offers portfolio management services solely to its Fund clients; therefore, references throughout this Brochure to “clients” and to the Adviser’s related duties to, and practices on behalf of, its clients and/or investors should be construed accordingly. As such, the Adviser has only one type of client: private investment funds. The Funds generally include investment partnerships, limited liability companies or other investment entities that are not registered under the 1940 Act in reliance on the exemptions provided in Sections 3(c)(1), 3(c)(5) and 3(c)(7) thereunder, as applicable. Additionally, the interests, shares or units (as applicable) are not registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation D thereunder. Generally, the investors in the Funds meet the definition of “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D, “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act, and “qualified client” as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act, and/or (iv) “knowledgeable employee” under Rule 3c-5 of the 1940 Act. Such investors include individuals, entities, trusts, estates, other corporations or business entities, or family offices. In addition, owners, principals and other related persons of the Adviser can and have invested in one or more of the Funds. Investors who wish for more information about the Funds, or to subscribe for an interest therein will be required to demonstrate their investment qualifications prior to accessing any information about Peakline Partners’ Funds. The various requirements for investing in a Fund, including the minimum investment size, are set forth in each Fund’s Offering Documents. The Adviser has the ability, in its sole discretion, to permit commitments below the minimum amounts set forth in the Offering Documents. |
