A series of SALI Multi-Series Fund, L.P., an insurance-dedicated platform, managed by Clarion Partners, following a real estate strategy. This file sets out what the fund and its adviser have filed with the SEC.
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 about 5 beneficial owners and none 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, L.P., a platform run by SALI Fund Management, LLC (SALI Fund Services), whose Form ADV of 25 August 2026 reports the series' controls; Clarion Partners 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. Essential Fund Services is the administrator. The figure does not show how prices were set or checked, which is a question for the insurer.
Clarion Partners reports 1 regulatory action and 1 civil proceeding in Item 11 of its Form ADV between 2018 and 2023, none concerning the adviser itself but other companies in its group. The full record is set out below.
Behind it is Clarion Partners, with USD 74 billion under management and an SEC registration that goes back to 1981. The accounts are audited every year by Richey May and sent to investors. The weak point is independence: SALI reports that the series is administered by Essential Fund Services, a company related to the platform, and that none of the assets were valued outside that group 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.
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.
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.
The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.
The fund's gross assets, the number of its owners and how long it has been offered.
Whether the fund and its adviser keep their SEC filings current and consistent with each other.
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.

The rating expresses the opinion of PPLI.com on the date shown. It is not a statement of fact about the fund or its manager, not a credit rating, not a forecast of returns and not investment advice. Read about the rating.
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.
Rental and infrastructure income is taxed every year when held directly. Inside a policy that meets the tax rules it compounds untaxed, though the pass-through deductions a direct holder would use do not apply inside the wrapper, so the comparison depends on each family's position.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

On August 27, 2018, the SEC issued an order that found that Legg Mason had violated Section 13(b)(2)(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to devise and maintain a System of appropriate Internal accounting controls with respect to the use of introducing Brokers and other intermediaries in emerging Markets, including Libya, and that imposed a cease-and-desist order on Legg Mason with respect to any violations or future violations of Section 13(b)(2)(b). Previously, Legg Mason had submitted an offer of settlement in connection with the matter which the SEC determined to accept. The order resolved a FCPA investigation concerning the activities of Legg Mason's former Permal ...
These are the matters Clarion Partners reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 20 October 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.
