Related-party conflict disclosed — SmartStop Storage Advisors, LLC — simultaneous roles as Advisor, Original Limited Partner, and Special Limited Partner
HighSmartStop Storage Advisors, LLC (controlled by CEO H. Michael Schwartz) holds three distinct and conflicting roles in the Partnership: (1) it is the Advisor responsible for day-to-day management of the General Partner and Partnership, (2) it is the Original Limited Partner holding Class P Units, and (3) it is the Special Limited Partner holding the subordinated promote interest entitling it to 15% of profits above the 6% hurdle. This creates a direct conflict of interest as the entity managing the fund also receives the promote and holds LP interests.
