3. Investment Advisory Services

3.1 Registration and Compliance

Oriental Holdings LLC is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Our ADV Part 2A (Firm Brochure) and ADV Part 2B (Brochure Supplement) are available upon request and contain important information about our services, fees, conflicts of interest, and disciplinary history.

3.2 Fiduciary Duty

As a registered investment adviser, we owe our clients a fiduciary duty, which includes the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. We are obligated to:

  • Act in your best interest at all times
  • Provide suitable investment advice based on your financial situation and objectives
  • Fully disclose all material facts and conflicts of interest
  • Seek best execution for client transactions
  • Avoid placing our interests ahead of yours

3.3 Investment Management Agreement

Actual investment advisory services are provided pursuant to a separately executed Investment Management Agreement ("IMA"). The IMA will govern the specific terms of our relationship, including investment objectives, strategies, fee schedules, termination provisions, and other material terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the IMA, the IMA shall control.

4. Fees and Expenses

4.1 Management Fees

Our standard management fee structure is detailed in our Form ADV Part 2A and your Investment Management Agreement. Management fees are typically calculated as a percentage of assets under management (AUM) and are assessed quarterly in advance or arrears as specified in your agreement.

4.2 Performance Fees

For eligible clients, we may charge performance-based fees (incentive allocations) in accordance with Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act. Performance fees are subject to high-water mark provisions and are only charged to qualified clients with net worth exceeding $2.2 million or $1.1 million in assets under management with our firm.

4.3 Other Expenses

In addition to management and performance fees, clients are responsible for their proportionate share of fund expenses, including but not limited to: brokerage commissions, exchange fees, regulatory fees, custodial fees, audit and accounting fees, legal fees, administrator fees, and other operating expenses. These expenses are separate from and in addition to our advisory fees.

5. Risk Disclosures

INVESTING IN SECURITIES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE INVESTING:

  • Market Risk: The value of investments may decrease due to market conditions, economic factors, or other circumstances beyond our control.
  • Liquidity Risk: Certain investments may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to sell positions quickly or at favorable prices.
  • Leverage Risk: Use of leverage magnifies both gains and losses and may result in margin calls or forced liquidation.
  • Concentration Risk: Concentrated positions in specific securities, sectors, or strategies may increase volatility and risk of loss.
  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in laws, regulations, or tax treatment may adversely affect investment performance.
  • Counterparty Risk: Failure of brokers, custodians, or other counterparties may result in loss of assets.
  • Operational Risk: Failures in systems, processes, or personnel may adversely impact operations and investment performance.
  • Cybersecurity Risk: Data breaches or cyberattacks may compromise confidential information or disrupt operations.
  • No Guarantee: Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved or that losses will not occur.
