Advisory Overview
Point Olema was co-founded in 2019 by Eric Upin and John O’Connor (collectively, the “Founders”). Point Olema is organized as a Delaware limited partnership and the sole general partner of the firm is Point Olema Capital Partners Management, L.L.C. The Firm is managed by its Executive Committee, which consists of Mr. Upin; Mr. O’Connor; and Nancy Turner. Investment decisions are made by Point Olema’s Investment Committee; the Committee’s voting members are Mr. Upin; Mr. O’Connor; and Nicholas Heard.
Point Olema is an independent advisory firm that provides financial advice and portfolio management services to sophisticated individuals, family offices, institutional investors and to private investment funds (collectively, “Clients”). For purposes of this Brochure, investors and potential investors in the Funds (collectively, "Investors") are not considered Clients as defined under Section 203(b)(3)-1 of the Advisers Act.
Types of Advisory Services
Point Olema manages Client assets through various means including, managed advisory accounts (“Advisory Accounts”) and affiliated unregistered comingled investment vehicles (“Funds”). Certain affiliated entities serve as General Partners to the Funds and are under common control with Point Olema. The Funds generally employ a “manager of managers” approach to invest in other privately offered pooled investment funds and asset classes, managed by Point Olema or an affiliate, or by unaffiliated third-party asset managers, and are used to allow Advisory Account Clients and other investors to access investment opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable to them. Point Olema has and may in the future enter into strategic sub-advisory relationships with unaffiliated investment advisers to advise certain Funds whose investors are comprised of the unaffiliated investment adviser’s clients. Certain Funds invest in affiliated Funds and/or directly in select co-investment opportunities, including private or public companies, recommended by unaffiliated third-party asset managers in which the Funds invest. Point Olema aims to organize the Funds into distinct asset classes or strategies to allow Point Olema to customize its Advisory Account portfolios. The investment strategies that Point Olema utilizes for the Funds, as well as other information about the Funds and their respective terms, are described in the particular Fund’s offering materials.
The Funds are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Details surrounding the investment strategies pursued by the Advisory Accounts and Funds are noted in Item 8. Methods of Analysis.
Client Investment Objectives and Restrictions
Point Olema’s management of Advisory Accounts is governed by an “Investment Management Agreement” or similar agreement that outlines the specific investment guidelines and restrictions for Point Olema’s asset allocations. Advisory Account arrangements are individually tailored to the investment objectives, guidelines, and risk tolerance of prospective Advisory Account Clients. Point Olema will work to create and implement an investment plan and coordinate the investment management of these portfolios, consistent with this plan.
The Funds are governed by a limited partnership agreement or similar operating agreement (“Governing Documents”) that outline the specific investment guidelines and restrictions in participating in Point Olema strategies. Investors should refer to the Fund Governing Documents for important information on the investment objectives and investment restrictions. There can be no assurance that any of the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved. As such, Point Olema’s services are generally not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular investor of a relevant Fund.
Wrap Fee Programs
Point Olema does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
