The Instruments
The portfolio, or the manager.
They differ in what you own, how you are paid, how you get out, and who decides. Most investors choose one; some hold both. Each ledger lists only the terms that govern its own instrument.
I.The Strategy
Limited partnership interests
A concentrated, long-oriented activist portfolio of eight to fifteen positions, primarily in U.S.-listed equities and typically held for twelve to twenty-four months. Limited partners invest alongside the firm’s own capital, and their accounts are kept by an independent administrator rather than by the manager.
- Instrument
- Limited partnership interest
- Minimum (individuals)
- $200,000
- Minimum (entities)
- $1,000,000
- Fees
- 1.5% management fee; 25% performance fee above a 5% hurdle
- Liquidity
- Quarterly, on 60 days’ written notice
- Portfolio
- 8–15 positions; North America and Europe, primarily U.S.-listed
- Horizon
- 12–24 months per position
- Administrator
- IQ EQ Fund Services LLC
- Status
- Open. Accepting subscriptions for the initial close.
II.The Manager
Common stock in Buxton Helmsley, Inc.
Ownership of the management company itself: its research, its campaigns, its fee income and whatever it builds next. The horizon is longer than a fund allocation, the rights are those of a minority shareholder, and there is no public market for the shares.
- Instrument
- Common stock, $13.43 per share
- Minimum (individuals)
- $200,000
- Minimum (entities)
- $1,000,000
- Class and rights
- Common stock with minimal voting rights. Holders do not manage the Company or direct its operations. Pre-emptive rights apply only to holders of at least 1% on a fully diluted basis.
- Transfer
- Restricted securities. Transfers require the Company’s right of first refusal to lapse or Board approval, and are further restricted under the Stockholders Agreement. No public market exists.
- Status
- Open. Subscriptions are accepted on a rolling basis at the Board’s discretion.

After You Ask
From a request to a subscription.
01
Your request reaches the firm
It is delivered to the investor relations desk and read by the firm. Nothing is passed to a third party.
02
Materials, and a conversation
We send the offering materials for the instrument you chose and arrange a time to speak with the firm directly.
03
Verification
Before accepting any subscription, the firm takes reasonable steps to verify accredited status, as Rule 506(c) requires. The checkbox on this page does not count.
04
Subscription documents
Verified investors complete the subscription documents through the Investor Portal, including the Rule 506(c) acknowledgements, and sign them.
05
Countersignature and funding
The firm countersigns and confirms receipt of funds. Fund investors then receive statements from the administrator through the Investor Portal.
Accredited investors as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. The minimum is $200,000 for individuals and $1,000,000 for entities, for either instrument.
Rule 506(c) requires the firm to take reasonable steps to verify it; self-certification is not enough. The rule recognises several methods, including a written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, an SEC-registered investment adviser, a licensed attorney or a certified public accountant. The firm will tell you which it accepts when it sends the materials.
Yes. They are separate subscriptions with separate documents, and each carries its own minimum.
Limited partnership interests can be redeemed quarterly on 60 days’ written notice, subject to the terms of the offering documents.
Only in limited circumstances. The shares are restricted securities with no public market. A transfer requires the Company’s right of first refusal to lapse or Board approval, and is further restricted under the Stockholders Agreement.
It applies to the fund only. Investors admitted at the initial close participate on terms not offered in later closings; those terms are in the offering documents. The common stock is sold on a rolling basis and has no initial close.
IQ EQ Fund Services LLC administers the fund and UHY LLP audits it. Trading, clearing and custody run through Velocity Clearing, LLC and Clear Street, LLC.
