Client Relationship Summary. Required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for all registered investment advisers.
Blackcrown is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. As a registered investment adviser, Blackcrown is held to a fiduciary standard — the highest duty of care recognised under U.S. securities law. This means we are legally obligated to act in the best interests of our clients at all times, to provide full and fair disclosure of all material facts, and to avoid or disclose all conflicts of interest.
Our fiduciary duty extends to all of our institutional clients: institutional General Partners who engage us for co-investment origination, thesis development, and portfolio company advisory; and Institutional Single Family Offices who co-invest alongside GP partners through Blackcrown's principal mandate. In every engagement, our obligation is to our clients — not to any fund structure, placement fee, or third-party incentive.
The Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary) is a standardised disclosure document required by the SEC. It summarises who we are, what services we offer, how we are compensated, what conflicts of interest exist, and our legal and disciplinary history. We encourage all prospective clients to review it before entering into any advisory relationship with Blackcrown.
As a registered investment adviser, Blackcrown is held to a fiduciary standard — we are legally required to act in the best interests of our clients at all times, placing their interests above our own.
We are required to disclose all material conflicts of interest. Blackcrown operates on a deal-by-deal basis without fund-of-funds overhead, minimising structural conflicts that arise in traditional fund management.
Our Form CRS summarises the investment advisory services we provide, the fees and costs associated with those services, and how those fees compare to other types of firms.
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary history relevant to our clients' evaluation of us. Our Form CRS provides a complete and transparent account of our regulatory standing.
