| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/24/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5. Fees and Compensation The Adviser or its affiliates generally receive Advisory Fees and Carried Interest (each as defined below) or similar performance-based remuneration from a Main Fund and Co-Investment Vehicle. A Sumeru Fund and/or its portfolio companies also make other payments to the Adviser or its affiliates for services provided to the portfolio companies which, in certain circumstances, reduces the Advisory Fees payable to the Adviser. Additionally, consistent with the Governing Documents of a Fund, the Fund typically bears certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund and/or the portfolio companies. Further details about certain common fees and expenses are set forth below and in more detail in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Advisory Fees As compensation for investment supervisory services rendered to the Main Funds, the Adviser receives advisory fees from each such Fund (each, an “Advisory Fee”). Advisory Fees are initially charged at 2% of each non-affiliated investor’s committed capital for the period of time during which each Fund is making investments; thereafter, the Advisory Fee is equal to 1.75% of each non-affiliated investor’s invested capital with respect to investments that have not been disposed of or permanently written off. A Fund’s borrowings are generally taken into account for purposes of calculating the Advisory Fee, as provided in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Advisory Fees are reduced upon the expiration of the Fund’s investment period or when the Adviser first receives or begins to accrue Advisory Fees with respect to a subsequent Fund with substantially similar investment objectives, strategy and investment criteria as the Fund and/or upon the occurrence of certain other events as described in the Governing Documents. The amount of Advisory 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 written off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Permanent write-down determinations are made in the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Governing Documents and the Adviser’s valuation policy. Except where the Governing Documents expressly provide to the contrary, Advisory Fees will not be reduced (in whole or in part) in the case of partial distributions (e.g., those resulting from a dividend recapitalization), 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, Advisory Fees generally will not be reimbursed or refunded under the Governing Documents in the event of realizations, dispositions or partial write-downs that occur partway through the relevant calculation period. Further, where there has been a partial disposition or permanent write-down of a Fund’s investment and the fair market value of the investment following such event exceeds the total amount of the Fund’s investment contributions relating to the investment, the Governing Documents do not require Advisory Fees after the stepdown date to be reduced. In most circumstances, the post step-down Advisory Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, which poses a conflict of interest in that the inclusion of such expenses results in a higher Advisory Fee than if such transaction fees and expenses were not capitalized into the asset base. All Advisory 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 Advisory Fee as of the date of the initial closing of such Fund, plus interest, as applicable. As a general matter, Advisory Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise agreed with or notified to investors. Assessed quarterly in advance, Advisory Fees are collected through a capital call, through a draw- down on the Fund’s line of credit or offset against a distribution to investors. As applicable, the precise amount of, and the manner and calculation of, the Advisory Fees for each Fund are established by the Adviser in negotiation with investors in the applicable Fund and are set forth in such Fund’s Governing Documents received by each investor prior to investment in such Fund. The Advisory Fees and other fees and distributions described herein are generally subject to modification, waiver or reduction by the Adviser or General Partner in its sole discretion, both voluntarily and on a negotiated basis with selected investors via side letter and other arrangements. Fees differ from one Main Fund to another, as well as among certain investors in the same Main Fund. Specifically, employees and affiliates of the Adviser do not pay Advisory Fees and investors in a Co-Investment Vehicle may be permitted to pay a reduced Advisory Fee on the co-investment portion of their investment. In addition, certain investors in the Sumeru Funds that are employees, business associates and other “friends and family” of the Adviser or its personnel (“Adviser Investors”) will not typically pay Advisory Fees in connection with their investment in a Sumeru Fund. Notwithstanding that Adviser Investors will generally not pay Advisory Fees, Adviser Investors will pay for their pro rata share of certain Sumeru Fund expenses. ... |

Item 7. Types of Clients The Adviser currently provides investment supervisory services to the Funds. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds and not individually to investors in such Fund. Interests in the Sumeru Funds are offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and the 1940 Act. Investors in the Sumeru Funds are generally “qualified purchasers” as defined in the 1940 Act, and include, among others, high net worth individuals, banks, thrift institutions, pension and profit sharing plans, government owned investment companies, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, university endowments, corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability companies, or other entities. Certain Sumeru Funds include alternative investment vehicles established from time to time in order to permit one or more investors to participate in one or more particular investment opportunities in a manner desirable for tax, regulatory or other reasons. Alternative investment vehicle sponsors generally have limited discretion to invest the assets of these vehicles independent of limitations or other procedures set forth in the Governing Documents of such vehicles and the related Sumeru Fund. The Adviser does not have a minimum size for a Sumeru Fund, but minimum investment commitments are typically established for investors in the Sumeru Funds. The General Partner of each Sumeru Fund has permitted, in its sole discretion, investments below the minimum amounts set forth in the offering documents of such Sumeru Fund. |
