G2 Capital Management, LLC (“G2 Capital Management” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company
(“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Ohio. G2 Capital Management became an LLC in January 2017, and is
owned and operated by Greg R. Grabovac, JD (Principal) and Jeffrey R. Gomez, CPA, CFP® (Principal and
Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business
practices, and the advisory services provided by G2 Capital Management.
B. Advisory Services Offered
G2 Capital Management offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, corporations and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. G2 Capital Management’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of
Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
G2 Capital Management provides Clients with a choice of three services: 1) Investment Management Services;
2) Wealth Management Services, which generally includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning
services in connection with discretionary management of investment portfolios; and 3) Family Office Advisory
Services.
Investment Management Services
G2 Capital Management provides discretionary investment management services to Clients on a fee-only basis.
These services are available for Clients who do not wish to engage in the more comprehensive wealth
management and financial planning efforts and only desire to engage G2 Capital Management to manage their
investments on a stand-alone basis.
G2 Capital Management will first seek to understand the Client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. G2
Capital Management will work closely with the Client to create an investment policy statement (“IPS”) to formally
summarize the results of these efforts. G2 Capital Management will then construct a portfolio, consisting of low-
cost, diversified mutual funds, index funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s
investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or options contracts to meet the needs of
its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.
G2 Capital Management’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or
re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to
market conditions. G2 Capital Management will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets
the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio,
subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
G2 Capital Management evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. G2 Capital Management may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. G2 Capital Management may recommend specific positions to increase
sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge
against market movement. G2 Capital Management may recommend selling positions for reasons that include,
but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or
Page 5
class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the
Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Under certain circumstances, G2 Capital Management may accept or maintain custody of Client’s funds or
securities. Please see Item 15 – Custody for more information.
Wealth Management Services
G2 Capital Management also offers Clients wealth management services, which generally includes a broad
range of comprehensive financial planning services in connection with discretionary management of investment
portfolios. The discretionary management of investment portfolios services are described above. The financial
planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals,
objectives and financial situation. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial
plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This
planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment
planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a
Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include
general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
G2 Capital Management may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as appropriate for
their unique situation. The Advisor may provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations as part of the wealth management services.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisory has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Family Office Advisory Services
For family office Clients, the Advisor offers an expanded suite of services. Generally, these services are available
to individuals, families, trusts, closely held corporations and other businesses. These services may include the
discretionary management of investment portfolios and all financial planning services as well as advice on
intergenerational wealth transfer strategies, family meeting facilitation and education, philanthropic planning,
review of private investment opportunities and detailed cash flow planning and management. Additionally, G2
Capital Management offers a multi-advisor consolidated reporting service so that the Client has the ability to
efficiently review investment performance by all of their advisors. All decisions to work with other advisors are
Page 6
made at the sole discretion of the Client. Upon request, G2 Capital Management may suggest the Client talk with
other advisory firms, but the Client is under no obligation to do so, or act upon any suggestion. G2 Capital
Management may use third parties and coordinate with various experts such as an accountant, attorney or other
specialists to advise Clients on their wealth management and advisory services, including retirement and estate
planning goals.
Private Capital Market Investments
For Accredited Investors and Qualified Purchasers, G2 Capital Management may offer clients the opportunity to
invest in private capital market opportunities such as private real estate, private debt and credit, and private
equity. These investments are illiquid and carry a greater risk than investments in the public markets. This
service offering is designed for those clients who are interested in utilizing non-public market investments in their
long-term investment portfolio. G2 Capital Management may use third parties to locate these opportunities and
perform due diligence. As part of this service, G2 Capital Management will coordinate the 1) execution of the
investment, 2) cash flows including capital calls and distributions, and 3) the on-going communication of
investment performance. Generally, the minimum investment size for these services is a $2,000,000 portfolio
with G2 Capital Management. Private Capital Market investments will include a quarterly management fee and
may include a performance fee.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
G2 Capital Management provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a
“Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to
assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan. Each engagement is customized to the
needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services may include:
● Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
● Vendor Analysis
● Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Support
● Performance Reporting
Certain of these services are provided by G2 Capital Management serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA
Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of G2 Capital Management’s fiduciary
status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably
expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging G2 Capital Management to provide investment advisory services, each Client will work with the
Advisor to create an IPS that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the
Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – G2 Capital Management, in connection with the Client, will
develop a strategy and IPS that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – G2 Capital Management will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to
meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk of each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – G2 Capital Management will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to
meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
● Investment Management and Supervision – G2 Capital Management will provide investment
management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
