Business Description
Adams Street, a Delaware limited liability company and registered investment adviser, provides investment advisory services to its clients. These clients consist of private investment funds, referred to as "Funds" or "Private Investment Funds," and separately managed accounts, known as "Separate Accounts."
Adams Street’s advisory services for Private Investment Funds are detailed in and provided in accordance with the applicable private placement memoranda or other offering documents, investment management agreements and limited partnership agreements or other operating agreements and are further described under “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.”
Investment Strategy
Adams Street employs a combination of top-down portfolio construction and bottom-up investment selection for its private equity partnership investments. Top-down factors involve analyzing the "macro" aspects of an investment, such as the economic and legal environment, as well as determining the desired exposure to various asset sub-classes. Bottom-up factors relate to the "micro" aspects, such as the specific investment skills of a particular general partner.
Investment selection involves assessing the historical performance of general partners or managers, conducting extensive due diligence, and exercising judgment regarding factors that could affect the partnership's future performance. Other considerations include the experience, track record, and motivation of the lead sponsor, the competitive landscape of the industry segment, the defensibility of the company's market position, company-specific metrics, purchase price, and capital structure.
