Adviser statusExempt reporting adviser
Regulatory assets under managementNot reported by an ERA
Private funds advised6 · $359m gross

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.
