Advisory Business
Founded in December 2015, Cadogan Park Advisors Inc. (hereinafter, “Cadogan Park” or
the “Firm”) is an investment advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). The Firm is wholly owned by Paul Bains as the Principal. The Firm
provides investment management services to its clients (individually, the “Client”). This
Brochure is not: a) an offer or agreement to provide advisory services to any person, b)
an offer to sell interests (or a solicitation of an offer to purchase interests) in any
investment fund, or c) a complete discussion of the features, risks or conflicts
associated with any investment fund, or any other product or service offered by
Cadogan Park.
Cadogan Park Advisors Inc. is also registered as a Portfolio Manager with each of the
following Canadian Securities Commissions: British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and New
Brunswick.
The Registrant provides investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, other
individuals, corporations, businesses and on a sub-advisory basis. Investment decisions are
based upon each client’s Investment Policy Statement (IPS). The assessment of a client’s risk
and return objectives is achieved through the completion of the client’s personal profile
questionnaire, including the client’s personal financial situation, investment objectives and
risk tolerance. This information combined with any input from the client’s other professional
advisors, is then finalized in a mutually agreed IPS. The client’s assets are then invested in
accordance with the guidelines defined in the IPS, which may also indicate the eligible
investments to be used to achieve the portfolio’s investment mandate.
Cadogan Park engages in specialized services that may appeal to expatriate individuals or
those individuals that reside in one jurisdiction while they continue to have assets in
another jurisdiction (cross border services). Cadogan Park’s activities with respect to non-
U.S. clients may differ from those described generally herein and Cadogan Park or its
affiliate, Firethorn Partners, may provide additional or different services to non-U.S. clients.
Furthermore, any discussion of activities with respect to non-U.S. clients is intended solely
to provide recipients a more complete understanding of Cadogan Park’s business, including
potential conflicts of interest.
The Registrant may allocate (and/or recommend that the client allocate) a portion of a
client’s investment assets among unaffiliated independent investment managers (Sub-
Advisors) in accordance with the client’s designated investment objective(s). In such
situations, the Independent Manager(s) shall have day-to-day responsibility for the active
discretionary management of the allocated assets. The Registrant shall continue to render
investment advisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of
account performance, asset allocation and client investment objectives. Factors which the
Registrant shall consider in recommending Independent Manager(s) include the client’s
designated investment objective(s), management style, performance, reputation, financial
strength, reporting, pricing, and research.
The Registrants’ activities with respect to non-U.S. clients may differ from those described
generally herein and the Registrant may provide additional or different services to non-U.S.
clients. Furthermore, any discussion of activities with respect to non-U.S. clients is intended
solely to provide recipients a more complete understanding of the Registrants’ business,
including potential conflicts of interest.
In addition to the IPS, each client will formally agree to engage the services of Cadogan Park
through an Investment Management Agreement (IMA). This document includes information
on the client’s identity and personal financial situation. It is the responsibility of the client to
keep Cadogan Park updated on an ongoing basis with respect to any information contained
in the IMA, including any significant changes to their personal or financial situation that could
impact the appropriateness of the client’s IPS.
2. Investment Advisory Services
Cadogan Park combines knowledge and experience, with objective financial advice from
financial advisors who act in the best interest of our clients. We charge one all-inclusive fee
for our Advisory Services.
A Client’s assets are managed within a given Personal Strategy based upon the Client’s
overall investment objectives.
A Personal Strategy is a comprehensive investment portfolio. It is focused on achieving
the Client’s financial goals and is designed to grow with the Client over time. Portfolios
in
a Personal Strategy are custom designed and are flexible to meet the Client’s needs or
wants. Personal Strategy asset allocations go beyond basic stock and bond portfolios.
They invest globally, primarily utilizing individual equities and ETFs. Our tactical index
weighting approach adds further diversification and potential return by ensuring
exposure to all areas of the market while avoiding being overweight to high-risk
segments. Cadogan Park believes that asset allocation is a key investment decision. The
goal-based nature of a Personal Strategy means the Client’s asset allocation is
continuously linked to their evolving situation, thereby maximizing the likelihood of
long-term success.
In most cases, the Registrant manages clients’ accounts on a discretionary basis where we
have authority to manage a client’s portfolio directly and purchase or sell securities without
obtaining approval before effecting each trade. In other cases, the Registrant provides
advisory investment management services where a client’s portfolio is monitored on a day-
to-day basis but buy and sell actions are executed by a Sub-Advisor(s). In this latter regard,
we oversee the Sub-Advisors and coordinate, monitor and direct their activities as and
where appropriate.
Cadogan Park primarily provides investment advisory services to:
• Individuals
• High-net worth individuals
• Trust, estates or charitable organizations
• Multiple Family Offices
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For the purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02
("PTE 2020-02"), when applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to clients.
When Cadogan Park provides investment advice to clients regarding their retirement plan
account or individual retirement account, Cadogan Park is a fiduciary within the meaning of
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code,
as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way Cadogan Park makes
money creates some conflicts with client interests. Cadogan Park operates under an
exemption that requires Cadogan Park to act in the clients’ best interest and not put
Cadogan Parks’ or Cadogan Parks’ employees’ interests ahead of the clients. Under this
exemption, Cadogan Park must:
a. meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice),
b. never put Cadogan Parks’ or Cadogan Parks’ employees’ financial interests ahead
of the clients when making recommendations (give loyal advice),
c. avoid making misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and
investments,
d. follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that Cadogan Park and
Cadogan Parks’ employees give advice that is in the clients’ best interest,
e. charge no more than is reasonable for services, and
f. give the clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Cadogan Park benefits financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement
account to an account that Cadogan Park manages or provides investment advice, because
the assets increase Cadogan Parks’ assets under management and, in turn, Cadogan Parks’
advisory fees. As a fiduciary, Cadogan Park only recommends a rollover when Cadogan Park
and Cadogan Parks’ employees believe it is in the clients’ best interest.
Pooled Investment Vehicles
Cadogan Park serves as the manager of the Investment Manager for the Tilton
Opportunities Canadian Feeder Fund and the Tilton Opportunities Cayman Master Fund I,
LP (the “Fund”). The Fund’s objective is to provide unit holders with long-term capital
appreciation primarily through exposure to investments in a professionally managed
portfolio of developed market equity securities traded predominantly in the financial
markets located in North America and Europe. The Fund is exempt from registration
pursuant to Rule 506(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and relies on an exemption from the
Investment Company Act of 1940 under 3(c)-1. Investments in the Fund are deemed to be
high risk investments and for that reason, the offerings are available only to accredited
investors in eligible jurisdictions, who can bear the risk of loss of their investment.
