Octavia Investments LLC (hereinafter “OI”) offers the following services to advisory
clients:
Investment Services
OI offers clients investment portfolio strategies managed by specific OI advisors. OI
creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current
situation (income, net worth, and risk tolerance levels). OI offers to create a detailed
financial plan for each client in order to guide the construction of an investment portfolio.
OI then recommends allocations across the different investment portfolio strategies based
on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.
OI offers the same investment portfolio strategies to all of its clients and then recommends
varying allocations across such strategies based on a client’s specific situation. It is
possible that none of OI’s investment portfolio strategies are in line with a potential
client’s objectives, in which case such potential client is not advised to seek services from
OI.
OI will request discretionary authority from clients to select securities and execute
transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance
levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
OI generally limits its money management to mutual funds, equities, bonds, fixed income,
debt securities, ETFs, REITs, private placements, MLPs, online lending and government
securities. OI may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when
applicable. OI may sell short securities as well as buy options.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding
your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries 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 we make money
creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special
rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
OI offers the same suite of services to all its clients. However, specific client portfolio
construction is dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines
each client’s current situation (income, net worth, and risk tolerance levels) and is used to
construct a client specific portfolio allocation across OI’s investment portfolio strategies
that matches client objectives.
Clients may not impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities
in accordance with their values or beliefs.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any other administrative
fees. OI does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
