Established in 2009, VII Peaks Capital LLC is an investment management firm based in San Francisco, California. Our firm invests in discounted corporate fixed income securities and employs a "Co-Optivist"TM (co-operative activism) approach where we act as cooperative, activist investors who work with senior management teams of target companies to proactively restructure their outstanding corporate debt. We generate alpha by working with management teams and other stakeholders to make the corporate debt we invest in a performing security while helping the target company de-leverage their balance sheet.

VII Peaks Capital, LLC is a federally registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

CO-OPTIVIST DEBT FUND

VII Peaks Capital has a targeted investment focus on discounted corporate fixed income securities of companies across a wide range of industries. We maintain strict investment criteria discipline and conduct rigorous due diligence and proprietary research in evaluating our investments. We follow a disciplined investment committee process before making any investments. The characteristics of the typical companies we invest in are those that have a highly-leveraged capital structure and face a near-term liquidity risk from their outstanding debt, but that are fundamentally sound businesses with attractive long-term prospects and good management teams.

VII Peaks Capital employs its unique "Co-Optivist" approach in executing its strategy. This approach is fundamentally simple. We look to establish strong, positive relationships with the management teams of the companies we invest in and help them explore alternatives to improve their liquidity positions and capital structure while preventing disruptions to their business operations. We do not take an active position in the senior management or governance of the companies we invest in.

We believe our in-depth due diligence, proprietary research and highly experienced investment team serve as effective risk management tools.

Ascendant Capital, LLC is an alternative investment boutique firm who sources leading real estate, private equity, and hedge funds that are frequently unavailable to investors.

Offerings are supported by a full suite of educational, marketing, sales and operational services and are distributed through Private Banks, International Markets, Family Offices, Registered Investment Advisors, and U.S. Brokerage Firms.
