Investment Implications
- Role and remit: Di Lorenzo is a legal/governance-focused officer (Secretary), not an investment PM; filings show prior legal roles at Dechert and current multi-fund secretary responsibilities, indicating administrative oversight rather than direct performance levers on portfolio returns .
- Pay-for-performance linkage: Officer compensation flows from EVM’s advisory fee (1.00% of average daily gross assets), aligning incentives with asset base and fund-level advisory economics instead of disclosed TSR/EBITDA targets; no fund-paid salary/bonus details are presented for officers .
- Insider selling pressure: His initial Section 16 filing reported no beneficial ownership, suggesting no near-term selling overhang from this officer at that time; group officer/trustee ownership was <1% as of April 29, 2025 .
- Tenure/retention: Officers serve indefinite terms, with no disclosed severance/change-of-control terms in fund filings, implying standard 1940 Act fund-officer governance rather than bespoke employment economics .
- Compliance and governance: Section 16(a) filings were compliant based on fund review, and Di Lorenzo signs key governance documents as Secretary, underscoring a compliance-oriented function rather than trading signal relevance .
