Item 5. Fees and Compensation WRCM charges a fee based upon a percentage of committed capital, invested capital, or the market value of the assets being managed by WRCM (“base fee”), in addition to a fee based on the performance of the account (“performance fee”). WRCM does not charge fees on the Opportunity Funds or Opportunity Series accounts. Performance Fee As discussed above in Item 4, all relevant information, terms and conditions related to the compensation received by WRCM or an affiliate are set forth in the partnership agreement, as appropriate. With performance-based fee arrangements, there is the potential for conflicts of interest in that the performance compensation may be an incentive for the manager to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case absent a performance compensation agreement. In addition to the fees described above, the Funds will pay certain expenses of the Funds which may include, but are not limited to, operational expenses (including fees and expenses payable to the administrator), expenses of custodians, paying agents, consultants, counsel and accountants, brokerage commissions and other investment fees and costs, any insurance, indemnity or litigation expense, financing costs, auditing expenses, financial statement and tax return preparation costs, filing and registration fees, expenses of winding up and liquidation, and any taxes, fees or other governmental charges levied against the Funds. All relevant information related to the expenses paid by the Funds is set forth in each Fund’s partnership agreement. Fees Charged by Financial Institutions As further discussed in response to Item 12 (below), WRCM generally utilizes the administration services of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“U.S. Bancorp”) for investment management accounts. U.S. National Bank Association will serve as custodian (“U.S. Bank”) for the Partner Fund and the Opportunity Funds. WRCM is given discretion to determine what financial institutions the Funds utilize and will arrange for the set-up of accounts with the appropriate financial institutions. Financial institutions include, but are not limited to, U.S. Bancorp, U.S. Bank, broker-dealers, trust companies, banks, etc. (collectively referred to as the “Financial Institutions”). The Funds will incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institutions and other third parties, which are disclosed in each fund’s partnership agreement (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses). With respect to separate account management, in addition to the fees charged by WRCM for managing separate accounts, clients also incur certain charges imposed by Financial Institutions. These additional charges include securities brokerage commissions, mark-ups and mark-downs on fixed-income Page 6 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wolf River Capital Management, LLC Disclosure Brochure transactions, other transaction costs, custodial fees, reporting charges, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. The Firm’s brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12, below. With respect to all accounts, except Partner Fund and the Opportunity Group, clients do not provide WRCM with the authority to directly debit their accounts for payment of the investment management fees. Rather, the Firm sends a separate invoice for direct payment. Page 7 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wolf River Capital Management, LLC Disclosure Brochure |

Item 8. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Investment Objective
WRCM’s investment objective is to seek positive risk-adjusted returns on capital primarily through the
purchase of trust preferred securities, subordinated debt securities or other securities, including equity
securities, issued by banks, thrifts, insurance companies or other similar financial institutions or holding
companies of real estate investment trusts and Securitized Pools (including the junior-most tranches) of
such securities (collectively, “Portfolio Securities”).
Investment Strategy
WRCM seeks to identify selected Portfolio Securities that are undervalued and, accordingly, present
opportunities for attractive, risk-adjusted returns. WRCM believes that stress in the financial sector during
the global great recession, caused many securities to be deeply discounted and that the difficulty of
analyzing the underlying collateral and structures of Securitized Pools in this environment led to
discounted pricing of these securities. As the economic recovery continued, substantial price recovery
occurred in many of these securities. Periodically, these securities trade at levels representing substantial
relative value to market alternatives. Subsequent economic uncertainties such as the COVID-19
pandemic and recent heightened geopolitical events have also led to price volatility in these securities
and therefor trading opportunities.
Combined, WRCM’s eight (8) professionals have extensive experience on the equity and debt sides of
the financial markets, as well as operational and investment experience within the banking, insurance,
and investment banking industries. Additionally, prior to employment by WRCM, seven of WRCM’s eight
professionals underwrote, structured and placed many of the Securitized Pools in which the Funds and
other clients invest. The targeted asset classes and investment strategies of the Funds include, but are
not limited to, the following:
• Securitized Pools – The primary focus of the Funds will be investment in securities from
Securitized Pools of trust preferred securities and subordinated debt issued by bank holding
companies, banks, insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. These Securitized
Pools were largely originally issued between 2000 and 2007. Generally, the underlying collateral
of the pools originally consisted of 50 to 100 obligors. The transactions have different interest and
principal waterfalls. The Funds may purchase bonds from various tranches of the Securitized
Pools.
• Trust Preferred Securities – WRCM expects that the Funds’ investments will also include trust
preferred securities issued by bank holding companies and insurance companies. Generally, trust
Page 10 © MarketCounsel 2026

preferred securities have a 30-year maturity period from the date of issuance, with an initial non-
call period of five (5) years. The securities have a five (5) year deferral option, where the issuer
can defer its interest for a period of five (5) years without having such deferral result in an event of
default. If the issuer exercises its deferral option, it is prohibited from paying interest and
dividends on or redeeming forms of debt or equity that are pari passu, or subordinate to the trust
preferred securities, including senior preferred stock issued via the Treasury Department’s Capital
Purchase Program, non-cumulative preferred stock, and common stock.
• The Funds may also invest in other debt and equity of both public and private companies.
• From time to time the Funds may invest in other assets classes to provide diversification including,
but not limited to; other non-correlated hedge funds, real estate partnerships, and other hard
assets.
• Short Sales – WRCM may also sell short selected Portfolio Securities with a goal of enhancing
performance and reducing risk. These selected Portfolio Securities may be sold short because
WRCM believes that their trading price represents overvaluation relative to normalized business
and industry fundamentals and their spreads do not reflect the underlying risk of the respective
security. WRCM may also sell short certain Portfolio Securities to hedge existing positions of the
Funds.
• Leverage – The Partner Fund may borrow money for purposes of purchasing Portfolio Securities.
Entering into short sales may also increase the Funds’ use of leverage. The Partner Fund does
not expect to incur indebtedness in connection with its operations.
Description of Investment Process
• Investment Analysis – WRCM has developed and maintains proprietary databases and models
that facilitate tracking the performance of Securitized Pools as well as the individual obligors
underlying the Securitized Pools. WRCM will utilize its databases and general market knowledge
to determine investment opportunities within the context of the current market and its expectation
of the future market for individual securities and Securitized Pools.
• Portfolio Evaluation – Once an investment opportunity is determined to be attractive as a stand-
