What Breakwater Management LP says it buys

Read from Breakwater Management LP’s own website in August 2026. This is what the firm says it buys, not what anyone has recorded it buying, and figures are shown in the currency the firm itself used - nothing here is converted. Every line links to the page it was read from.

A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. Breakwater Management LP states that it takes majority or outright ownership. Nothing here is a commitment by Breakwater Management LP to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.

Regulatory record

How Breakwater Management LP is registered

From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.

Adviser statusExempt reporting adviser
Regulatory assets under managementNot reported by an ERA
Private funds advised4 · $99m gross
SEC adviser numberCRD 170036

An exempt reporting adviser is not required to report regulatory assets under management, so the blank above means the question was not asked rather than that the answer is unknown. Where a figure exists it is the gross asset value of the private funds the firm advises, which is a different and usually larger measure.
