| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/25/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Rockbridge Growth Equity Management and its affiliated General Partners receive fees and compensation in exchange for advisory services provided to the Funds, including management fees, carried interest, additional compensation in connection with management services performed for the portfolio companies of the Funds and reimbursements from portfolio companies for certain expenses advanced on their behalf. The Funds are also responsible for bearing certain expenses as detailed below and in each Fund’s Governing Fund Documents. Differences exist from Fund to Fund, and certain Funds do not charge certain fees, compensation or expenses that other Funds charge or charge them in different amounts. The following is a general description of fees, compensation and expenses of the Funds. Investors should refer to the applicable Governing Fund Documents for a complete understanding of how Rockbridge Growth Equity Management is compensated for its advisory services; the information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees Commencing on the effective date and during the investment period, each Fund pays the General Partner (or an affiliate thereof) an annual management fee (a “Management Fee”) of up to 2% of aggregate capital commitments held by non-affiliated investors (“Commitments”). Commencing with the first Management Fee due date after the expiration of the investment period or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events (including the date as of which a subsequent Fund accepts subscriptions in excess of a certain threshold) as set forth in the Governing Fund Documents, the Management Fee will equal up to 2% of each non-affiliated investor’s invested capital 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 permanently written down. Permanent write-down determinations are made in the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Governing Fund Documents and the Firm’s valuation policy. Except where the Governing Fund Documents expressly provide to the contrary, for certain Funds, Management Fees will not be reduced (in whole or in part) in the case of partial distributions, partial sales, reorganizations, restructurings, roll-over investments or similar transactions, in each case in circumstances that do not result in the complete disposition of the relevant Fund’s interest therein, and even in cases where the value of such Fund’s investment or ownership percentage in a portfolio company has been reduced as a result of such transaction. In addition, for certain Funds, Management Fees generally will not be reimbursed or refunded under the Governing Fund Documents in the event of realizations, dispositions or partial write-downs that occur partway through the relevant calculation period. Where there has been a partial disposition or permanent write-down of a Fund’s investment and the fair market value of such investment following such event exceeds the total amount of such Fund’s investment contributions relating to such investment, the Governing Fund Documents do not require Management Fees after the stepdown date to be reduced. In most circumstances, the post step- down Management Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, including transaction fees charged by Rockbridge Growth Equity Management 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. Assessed quarterly in advance, the Management Fee is paid out of current income and investment proceeds of a Fund and/or, in the General Partner’s discretion, from drawdowns that will reduce unfunded Commitments. 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. As a general matter, Management Fees will be payable during term extensions unless otherwise notified to investors in the relevant Fund. All Management Fees were negotiated with investors during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and are not subject to negotiation thereafter. The Funds generally invest on a long-term basis. Accordingly, investment advisory and other fees are expected to be paid, except as otherwise described in the Governing Fund Documents, over the term of the relevant Fund, and investors generally are not permitted to withdraw or redeem interests in the Funds. The General Partners are permitted, in their sole discretion, to reduce or waive all or a portion of the Management Fee and Management Fees can differ from one Fund to another, as well as among investors in the same Fund. Such differences can arise from the size of an investor’s commitment to a Fund, provisions of side letter agreements or other negotiated terms. Management Fees are generally waived or reduced for Rockbridge Growth Equity Management employees who have invested in the Funds either through a General Partner and/or as Fund investors, FOC affiliates, Portfolio Resources Group members, Industry Advisors and each of the foregoing’s respective families investing in a Fund (although in each case, these investors generally pay their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses). Similarly, investors in the Co-Investment Funds pay a reduced Management Fee or none at all (although ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients Rockbridge Growth Equity Management provides investment management services to its Funds, which are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act. The Funds limit their respective investors to: (i) “accredited investors” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees,” each as defined in the Investment Company Act, or (iii) if applicable, “qualified clients,” as defined in the Advisers Act. Investors in the Funds must also meet certain other suitability qualifications prior to making an investment in a Fund. The Funds are not registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, are not made available to the general public, their securities are not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and Fund interests are privately placed to qualified investors. Qualified investors include individuals or entities to which Fund interests are permitted to be sold, which generally includes (i) in the United States, people or organizations who meet certain net worth, income and/or financial sophistication requirements as described above or (ii) in other countries, as permitted by the relevant securities laws in such jurisdiction and in compliance with any foreign offering provisions applicable to Rockbridge Growth Equity Management and/or the Funds. The Funds typically require minimum Commitments from each investor of $10 million, although the General Partners have accepted individual Commitments of lesser amounts in their sole discretion. The investors participating in the Funds include high net worth individuals, other investment entities, university endowments, family offices, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates or charitable organizations, fund of funds, corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other business entities, Portfolio Resources Group members, Industry Advisors or other service providers retained by Rockbridge Growth Equity Management, and typically include, directly or indirectly, the principals or other employees of Rockbridge Growth Equity Management and FOC affiliates and members of their families. On occasion, Rockbridge Growth Equity Management 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, Rockbridge Growth Equity Management considers the investment to be a Fund client, identifies the Co-Investment Fund in its Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1), obtains an audit for the Fund, reserves the option to assess a Management Fee and Carried Interest on such Fund and includes the amount of assets of such Fund in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In the case of direct co-investments, Rockbridge Growth Equity Management does not consider the investment to be a Fund or a client, does not act as the investment manager to the co-investment portion of the investment, does not charge Management Fees or Carried Interest to the investment, does not have custody of the investment or include the amount of assets of the co-investment in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In such direct co-investment opportunities, Rockbridge Growth Equity Management will perform management, advisory and other services for the portfolio companies in which these co-investors invest, generally at no cost to such co- investors except Portfolio Fees and expenses (which such fees and expenses are recorded at the portfolio company). Opportunities to participate in co-investment transactions arise when Rockbridge Growth Equity Management has the opportunity for an investment in an existing or prospective portfolio company and Rockbridge Growth Equity Management 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 Governing Fund Documents or otherwise or (iv) Rockbridge Growth Equity Management believes the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co-investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Governing Fund Documents, side letter agreements, agreements with lenders and such other factors as Rockbridge Growth Equity Management 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 relevant Governing Fund Documents (including side letters) or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to participate in any co-investment opportunity. Rockbridge Growth Equity Management’s exercise of discretion in allocating co-investment opportunities will not always result in proportional allocations among such 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 Rockbridge Growth Equity Management’s Fund(s) will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. Rockbridge Growth Equity Management 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 Governing Fund Documents and as outlined in its internal policies and procedures.
