Sequence Multi Asset IDF III: Fund Rating and Research File

In brief

Sequence Multi Asset IDF III at a glance

The fund relies on Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 506(b), so its interests go only to qualified purchasers in a private offering. The adviser reports one beneficial owner, 100% of them outside the United States. As an insurance-dedicated fund it is held through insurance company separate accounts, alongside the few other holders the Treasury rules allow, and a family reaches it through a policy whose insurer offers it.

It is a series of SALI Multi-Series Fund IV, LP, a platform run by SALI Fund Management, LLC (SALI Fund Services), whose Form ADV of 25 August 2026 reports the series' controls; BMO Family Office, LLC manages the investments.

One point to raise with the insurer: the filing reports that 0% of the fund's assets were valued in the last fiscal year by a person that is not related to the adviser. NESF Fund Services Corp. is the administrator. The figure does not show how prices were set or checked, which is a question for the insurer.

BMO Family Office, LLC reports 1 regulatory action in Item 11 of its Form ADV in 2023, none concerning the adviser itself but other companies in its group, with reported sanctions of about USD 35 million. The full record is set out below.

The rating

Why Sequence Multi Asset IDF III has three stars

The accounts are audited every year by BDO and sent to investors. Independent checks are thin: the administrator, NESF Fund Services, sits in the SALI group, and none of the assets were valued outside it last year.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding the fund through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

Fund scale and investor base

The fund's gross assets, the number of its owners and how long it has been offered.

Reporting and filings

Whether the fund and its adviser keep their SEC filings current and consistent with each other.

Fit for a life insurance policy

Whether the fund is insurance-dedicated, so that a policy can hold it, and the minimum it asks. Liquidity terms join this element as they are documented.

Figures are shown as filed, with their dates. Form D counts investors in the offering and Form ADV counts beneficial owners, so the two numbers need not match. Gross asset value counts total assets without deducting borrowings or other liabilities, so it is not a net asset value. The minimum on Form D can be nominal; the amount a family actually needs is set by the insurer and the policy.

Inside a policy

What to check before this fund goes into a policy

Why the wrapper matters here

A diversified portfolio mixes income and gains, and a direct holder pays tax on both every year. Inside a policy that meets the tax rules neither is taxed as it arrives, and the insurer can move the account between funds on its menu without a taxable event for the policyholder.

Liquidity

The fund's redemption terms are not in its public filings. Read them in the offering documents and set them against the way the policy will need cash: loans, withdrawals and the insurer's own rules for moving between funds.

Who chooses the investments

The policyholder can choose this fund from the insurer's menu but cannot direct what the fund buys. That line comes from the investor control rules, and it is the reason the fund exists in a separate insurance-only form.

Diversification

A policy's separate account must meet the diversification test of section 817(h). Because the fund is reached only through insurance policies, the test can look through to its assets if the fund meets the conditions of the Treasury rules; whether a given account passes is a question for the insurer, not something these filings show.

Valuation

SALI reports that none of the fund's assets were valued last year by a person outside its group. Ask the insurer how it checks the price at which the account buys, sells and reports this fund.

Fees

Management and performance fees are set in the offering documents and are not shown in these filings. They come on top of the policy's own charges.

This is research, not an offer of the fund or advice to buy it. Interests in the fund are available only through an insurance company, and only to investors who qualify.

The full list for the firm is in the manager file.

What the adviser itself discloses in Item 11 of its Form ADV, summarised from the disclosure pages, with a link to the filing. Item 11 is filed for the adviser as a whole, so under each matter the fund it concerns is read from the disclosure itself.

20238 August 2023

Regulatory action by Commodity Futures Trading Commission: civil penalty

Fund concerned: none named in the filing. The matter concerns another company in the group, not a specific fund, and none of the insurance-dedicated funds in this file is named.

The U.S. Commodity future Trading Commission ("CFTC") alleged that, from at least 2019 through the date of the order, Bank of Montreal ("BMO") (I) failed to keep certain required records in violationof Sections 4s(f)(1)(c) and 4s(g)(1) and (3) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") and CFTC regulations 23.201(a) and 23.202(a)(1) and (b)(1), (II) failed to keep records in the manner required by CFTC Regulation 1.31, and (III) failed to supervise its swap dealer business activities diligently inviolation of Section 4s(h)(1)(b) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 23.602(a).

Commodity Futures Trading Commission · Order 8 August 2023 · USD 35.0 million · Concerns another company in the group · Form ADV, Item 11 disclosure

These are the matters BMO Family Office, LLC reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 28 January 2026. A reported matter is a fact disclosed by the adviser, not a finding by PPLI.com about this fund. None of them concerns the fund's investments.

The series runs on the SALI platform. SALI Fund Management's own Form ADV reports no disciplinary matters in Item 11, and the platform's record carries a 30% share of the conduct element for every series it runs.
