First Light Asset Management, LLC

First Light Asset Management, LLC, established in September 2013, specializes in providing advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, institutional clients, pension plans, corporations, and charitable organizations. The firm's principal owner is Mathew P. Arens, who is also the Managing Member, Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Portfolio Manager. First Light offers discretionary advisory services through separately managed accounts, primarily managing a long-only health care equity investment strategy known as the Genesis Strategy. This strategy focuses on high-quality, reasonably priced growth opportunities in micro- to small/mid-cap health care and life sciences companies. The firm also provides investment management services to private investment funds. For Separate Account Clients, the standard fee schedule ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum based on the net assets in the account. First Light may participate in dual contract programs, where clients execute agreements with a program sponsor and with First Light for advisory services. The firm may receive compensation for client referrals and has entered into cash compensation arrangements with placement agents for introducing investors to its funds. First Light exercises investment discretion for clients, voting proxies for separate account clients, and does not maintain custody of client assets. The firm has no reportable disciplinary events, adverse financial conditions, or bankruptcy proceedings.
