About
Cottingham Management Company, LLC provides discretionary investment management exclusively to pooled investment vehicles — Cottingham Development Fund, Cottingham Income Fund, and Ubuntu Income and Private Equity Fund — and does not offer retail portfolio services or wrap-fee programs. Prospective investors review offering and subscription materials and must meet the funds’ private-investor qualification standards prior to admission.
The firm pursues credit-focused investments for the development and income funds (including collateralized debt obligations and other debt instruments under strict underwriting standards) and control-oriented private equity investments through a separate fund, using proprietary analytical techniques and company site visits. Management is fully discretionary, the funds employ performance-based allocations in certain circumstances, and investors receive quarterly reporting; the firm also notes it does not aggregate trades across accounts because of the types of investments and custodial arrangements.
Distinctive features relative to many peers include that the firm acts as managing member or general partner of the funds and, as a result, maintains custody arrangements for fund assets while disclosing independent fee reviews and an annual CPA examination to address custody oversight. The firm’s principal is also active in operating and advisory roles at several portfolio companies and other businesses, and the funds use less common structures such as promissory-note investments with multi-year lockups, monthly income distribution mechanics, and restrictive withdrawal provisions described in the offering materials.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
