Introduction
Lynx is an investment adviser that provides fee-only asset management and investment advice. Lynx was
founded in 1996 by Brian Chait, its President, and Chief Compliance Officer. Lynx is a registered
investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Lynx provides investment
advice through investment adviser representatives (“advisor” or “IAR”) associated with us. Our advisors
must have a minimum of three years’ investment or business experience and/or an undergraduate
degree.
Lynx is an independent, family owned, fee-only investment management firm. We advise individuals, high
net worth individuals, trusts, estates, pension plans, profit sharing plans, corporations, and other
businesses. We manage client investment accounts within the scope of a client’s financial situation and
risk profile. Lynx is committed to highly personalized and responsive service to our clients. We believe
each client is unique and deserves their own specific investment plan based upon their tolerance for risk
and long-term objectives, among other factors.
Brian Chait is Lynx’s sole shareholder, controlling 100% of Lynx.
Services
We provide investment advice and discretionary asset management. We manage client’s investment
accounts, primarily with an emphasis on growth, within the parameters of the client’s objectives and
financial circumstances. We offer five core investment service categories based on individual client needs:
A Dividend Growth Strategy, which aims for stable conservative returns
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) portfolio, with the goal of a global macro tactical tilt approach
A commodity allocation through the use of Exchange traded Funds
A covered call income generating strategy
Customized bond and income portfolios
We primarily utilize stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, other funds and covered options transactions
in our client’s accounts. On occasion, depending on a client’s risk tolerance, we may utilize short selling
strategies.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of $163,771,692 in discretionary assets under management. This
total amount is managed on a discretionary basis which means, you, the client has given us the authority
to determine the following without your consent prior to any transaction in the account:
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd. ADV Part 2 March 2024 Page 6 of 17
Securities to be bought or sold for your account;
Amount of securities to be bought or sold for your account;
Broker-dealer to be used for a purchase or sale of securities for your account; and
Commission to be paid for purchase or sale of securities in your account.
While we may have trading discretion on your account (i.e., placing trades in your account without your
approval), trading activity occurs only as necessary. Trading in a client account may be required in the
following situations, among others: (1) to meet initial allocation targets, (2) after substantial cash deposits
or transfer of assets from other brokerage accounts that require investment allocation, and/or (3) after a
request for a withdrawal from a client account that requires liquidation of a position. In addition to
targeted transactions, your account may be rebalanced or reallocated periodically in order to reestablish
the targeted percentages and objectives of your initial asset allocation. You will be responsible for any
and all tax consequences resulting from transactions in your account. We are not tax professionals and
do not provide tax advice. However, we will work with your tax professional to assist you with tax
planning. You will have the opportunity to meet with your advisor periodically to review the assets in
your account.
Asset Management
Asset Management is the professional management of securities (stocks, bonds, ETFs, and other
securities) and assets (e.g., real estate) in order to meet your specified investment goals. The
recommended portfolio may include various securities such as individual equity securities, ETFs, covered
calls and bonds. With an Asset Management Account, you engage one of our advisors to assist you in
developing a personalized asset allocation program and custom-tailored portfolio designed to meet your
investment objectives.
You will meet with us to discuss your financial circumstances, investment goals and objectives, and to
determine your risk tolerance. We may ask you to provide statements summarizing current investments,
income and
other earnings, recent tax returns, retirement plan information, other assets and liabilities,
wills and trusts, insurance policies, and other pertinent information. Based on the information you shared
with us, we will analyze your situation and recommend an appropriate asset allocation or investment
strategy. Our recommendation and ongoing management are based upon your investment goals and
objectives, risk tolerance, and the investment portfolio you selected. We will monitor the account, trade
as necessary, and communicate with you. We will monitor your circumstances in quarterly and annual
account reviews. These reviews may be conducted in person, by telephone conference, and/or via a
written inquiry/questionnaire. We will work with you on an ongoing basis to evaluate your asset
allocation, as well as rebalance your portfolio, as necessary, to keep it in line with your objectives. You
must notify us promptly when your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change as these provide
the basis for your investment strategy.
You may, at any time, impose restrictions on your account. Restrictions may be a specific company
security, industry sector, asset class, or any other restriction you request.
Under certain conditions, securities from outside accounts may be transferred into your advisory account.
However, we may recommend that you sell any security if we believe that it is not suitable for the current

recommended investment strategy. You should always consult with your tax advisor for specific tax
advice.
The funds in the account will be held in custody, in your name, at a qualified custodian. We recommend
that clients utilize Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”) as their qualified custodian. You will enter into a
separate custodial agreement with Fidelity. You will, at all times, maintain full and complete ownership
rights to all assets held in your managed account, including the right to withdraw securities or cash, proxy
voting, and receiving transaction confirmations. You grant, in writing, limited discretionary authority to
Lynx over your account so that we may select the securities and amounts of securities to be bought and
sold in your account, within the parameters of your stated objectives and risk tolerance for such account.
This limited authority allows Lynx to give instructions to the custodian to effect transactions, deliver
securities, make payments, and certain other matters, in your account. The custodian will provide all
clearing, trading, and brokerage services for your account. You will receive statements directly from the
custodian periodically, monthly if there is activity in the account and, at least quarterly if there is no
activity.

The Asset Management relationship may be terminated at any time upon written notice by either party.
If written notice is made, by you, within the first five days from the date of entering into an Investment

responsible for paying for services rendered up until the date the written notice of termination is received
by us.
