A. Description of Firm
DRHI is a Los Angeles-based investment management firm incorporated in 2006. DRHI is registered
as an investment adviser with the SEC. DRHI’s sole owner is David R. Hansen, CFA, who also serves as
President and Chief Investment Officer. Jon Wieman, CFA, serves as DRHI’s Chief Compliance Officer
(“CCO”).
DRHI offers investment management services on a discretionary basis to individuals, high net worth
clients, business entities, retirement plans, and non-profit organizations. DRHI offers to appropriate
clients a concentrated investment strategy (the “Focused Strategy”), which focuses on investing in a
limited number of long equity positions (typically 10 or fewer common stock positions or depositary
receipts (e.g., ADRs)), coupled with options to implement hedges and short positions. The Focused
Strategy is generally not tailored to the individual needs of clients; however, the Focused Strategy is
only offered to appropriate clients based upon individual needs and investment criteria, and clients
may impose reasonable mandates or restrictions in writing to satisfy legal, regulatory, or other special
concerns. For example, certain clients have restrictions from investing in specific companies or
industries and certain other clients restrict the use of options.
In addition to the Focused Strategy, DRHI advises its clients on investment instruments including, but
not limited to: common stocks, depositary receipts, fixed income securities, options, exchange traded
funds (“ETFs”), exchange traded notes (“ETNs”), individual equites, individual bonds, real estate
investment trusts (“REITs”), mutual funds, and cash equivalent instruments. Please refer to Item 8:
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for additional information relating to the
investment strategies pursued by DRHI and the associated risks.
B. Types of Advisory Services Offered
DRHI provides clients with discretionary investment management services on a continuous basis,
according to the investment objectives and strategies approved by the client. All accounts are
separately managed and maintained with an independent third party custodian for transparency.
DRHI generally invests client assets in common stocks, depositary receipts, fixed income securities,
options, ETFs, ETNs, REITs, mutual funds, and/or cash equivalent instruments. Depending on each
client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, DRHI may use covered or uncovered put and call
options and other derivative instruments in connection with its advisory services and may purchase
securities on margin or other forms of leverage.
As noted above, DRHI may employ or recommend alternative strategies and investment products,
such as the use of leverage, hedging or derivatives. Leverage is the use of debt to finance an activity.
For example, leverage is used when one uses margin to buy a security. Hedging occurs when an
investment is made in order to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in a security. For example,
hedging is used when one takes an offsetting position in a related security, such as an option or other
derivative instrument. Derivatives, such as options, may be riskier than other types of investments
because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions and could result in
losses that significantly exceed the original investment. The use of derivatives may not be successful,
resulting in investment losses, and the cost of such strategies may reduce investment returns. While
leverage or hedging can operate to increase rates of return, it also increases the amount of risk
inherent in an investment.
Please refer to Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for additional
associated risks.
C. Important Information Relating to DRHI’s Services
1. Information Received by Each Client
To determine if the Focused Strategy or another strategy is appropriate for the client’s risk tolerance,
return objectives, time horizon, tax concerns, legal and regulatory factors, liquidity constraints, and
unique circumstances, DRHI memorializes the foregoing and any other important or relevant
information provided by the client (collectively, the “Information”). At the onset of the client
relationship the Information provided by the client, together with any other Information relating to
the client’s overall financial circumstances, will be used by DRHI to determine if the Focused Strategy,
or another strategy or asset allocation is appropriate for the client.
DRHI will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the Information provided by the client.
DRHI is not obligated to verify any Information received from the client or from the client’s other
professional service providers (e.g., attorney, accountant, etc.) and DRHI is expressly authorized to
rely on such Information. Under all circumstances, clients are responsible for promptly notifying DRHI
in writing of any material changes to the client’s Information. In the event that the client notifies DRHI
of changes in the client’s Information, DRHI will review such changes and implement any necessary
revisions to the client’s portfolio.
2. Advisory Services, Agreements and Disclosures
Prior to engaging DRHI to provide investment advisory services, the client will be required to enter
into a written investment advisory agreement with DRHI setting forth the terms and conditions under
which DRHI shall render its services (the “Agreement”). In accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, DRHI will provide this Brochure (Form ADV Part 2A) and one or more brochure
supplements (Form ADV Part 2B) to each client prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of
the Agreement. The Agreement between DRHI and the client will continue in effect until terminated
by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. DRHI’s annual fee shall be prorated through
the date of termination and any remaining balance shall be charged or refunded to the client, as
appropriate, in a timely manner.
Neither DRHI nor the client may assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
party, which may be withheld in either party’s sole discretion. Transactions that do not result in a
change of actual control or management of DRHI shall not be considered an assignment.
DRHI will provide
investment management services but will not provide custodial or other
administrative services. At no time will DRHI accept or maintain custody of the client’s funds or
securities. The client is responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees charged by the
custodian and executing broker-dealer, unless otherwise negotiated, and agreed in writing.
DRHI does not provide financial planning and related consulting services regarding non-investment
related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. DRHI does not serve as an
attorney, accountant, or insurance agency, and no portion of our services should be construed as same.
Accordingly, DRHI does not prepare estate planning documents, tax returns or sell insurance
products. To the extent requested by a client, we may recommend the services of other professionals
for certain non-investment implementation purpose (i.e. attorneys, accountants, insurance, etc.).
Clients are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The
client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject
any recommendation that we make. Furthermore, if the client engages any unaffiliated recommended
professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the client agrees to seek
recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional.
A client or prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing
retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former
employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available
and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash
out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax
consequences). If DRHI recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account
to be managed by DRHI, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if DRHI will earn new (or
increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. When acting in such capacity, DRHI
serves as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), or the Internal
Revenue Code, or both. No client is under any obligation to rollover retirement plan assets to an
account managed by DRHI.
DRHI may also serve as a sub-adviser to unaffiliated registered investment advisers per the terms and
conditions of a written Sub-Advisory Agreement. With respect to its sub-advisory services, the
unaffiliated investment advisers that engage DRHI 's sub-advisory services maintain both the initial
and ongoing day-to-day relationship with the underlying client, including initial and ongoing
determination of client suitability for DRHI’s designated investment strategies. If the
custodian/broker-dealer is determined by the unaffiliated investment adviser, DRHI will be unable to
negotiate commissions and/or transaction costs, and/or seek better execution. As a result, the
underlying client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or
receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case
through alternative clearing arrangements recommended by DRHI. Higher transaction costs
adversely impact account performance.
DRHI has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its
investment advisory services, DRHI will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if
any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, investment
performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, and/or a change in the
client’s investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time when
DRHI determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Of course, as
indicated below, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by DRHI will be profitable
or equal any specific performance level(s).
In limited circumstances, DRHI may engage in a cross-transaction pursuant to which DRHI may effect
transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients’ securities
trades by “crossing” these trades when DRHI believes that such transactions are beneficial to its
clients). For all such transactions, neither DRHI nor any affiliate will be acting as a broker, and will not
receive any commission or transaction-based compensation. The client may revoke DRHI’s cross-
transaction authority at any time upon written notice to DRHI.
DRHI has made arrangements to be designated as the investment manager for clients of other
investment advisers (the “Sub-Adviser”). In such instances, clients are enrolled in one of DRHI’s
investment management strategies or a customized solution through executing the Agreement with
DRHI. As investment manager, DRHI provides DRHI’s standard investment management services to a
portion of the client’s assets and DRHI has full investment discretion.
3. Restrictions/Guidelines Imposed by Clients
The client may impose reasonable guidelines and/or restrictions on investing in specific companies,
industries, certain securities or types of securities. For example, certain clients have restrictions from
investing in specific companies or industries and certain other clients restrict the use of options. All
such guidelines and restrictions must be communicated to DRHI in writing. There may be times when
certain restrictions are placed by the client, which prevents DRHI from accepting or continuing to
manage the client’s account. DRHI reserves the right to not accept and/or terminate management of
the client’s account if DRHI feels that the client imposed restrictions would limit or prevent DRHI from
carrying out its investment strategies.
