Description of Services Offered
Mavros may provide investment advisory services on a discretionary and non - discretionary basis,
as described below.
Investment Management
MAVROS provides portfolio management services primarily to individuals, high net worth
individuals or families, as well as trusts, foundations, endowments, non -profit organizations,
retirement plans and plan sponsors, and other business entities herein referred to each as a “Client”
and collectively the “Clients.” As a fiduciary, MAVROS acts in the Clients’ best interest and fulfills
its obligation by working closely with Clients to identify and understand their investment
objectives while building a long-term relationship.
Our portfolio management services may include:
• Monitoring of accounts on an ongoing basis.
• Providing ongoing advice regarding strategic investment opportunities.
• Sourcing, evaluating, selecting and monitoring alternative private fund managers.
• Integrating existing holdings, including real estate and non-liquid assets, into
investment objectives
• Developing diversification strategies for low basis securities.
• With respect to certain Clients that are “insiders” of publicly traded companies,
assisting in the development of 10b5-1 plans.
Mavros tailors its advice to clients. In order to provide tailored advice to Clients, MAVROS works
with Clients to develop a formal Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) that reflects the Client’s
investment objectives, financial circumstances (including income, non-liquid assets and real estate
assets), time horizons and liquidity requirements, risk tolerances, and other important information
required by MAVROS or provided by a Client. Clients can also identify investment restrictions and
other bespoke requests in the IPS which Mavros will comply with. Clients must inform us of any
changes to their financial circumstances, investment objectives or risk tolerance, or of any
modifications or restrictions that are imposed on the management of the client's account. An IPS
will typically be applicable to an entire household.
Once we construct an IPS for a client, we will monitor the portfolio's performance on a periodic
(typically quarterly) basis unless otherwise agreed, and will make adjustments and reallocations
as necessary due to changes in market conditions and the client's circumstances, as communicated
to us.
Mavros primarily invests Client assets in stocks, money-market fund shares, certificates of deposit,
and other cash instruments, exchange-traded and over-the-counter securities, passively and actively
managed mutual funds and index funds, debt securities, municipal securities, options, variable(no-
load) annuity products, and alternative private investments. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions and guidelines on investing in certain securities, types of securities or industry sectors.
We expect all such restrictions to be timely communicated to us. Client restrictions and guidelines
may negatively affect investment performance.
MAVROS may also engage one or more third-party sub-advisers (“Sub-Adviser”) to manage a
portion of client assets if it is deemed to be in the best interest of a Client. MAVROS will generally
execute a sub-advisory agreement with each Sub-Adviser. If a Sub-Adviser is granted any trading
authority, it will be pursuant to a limited power-of- attorney and over only those assets that
MAVROS directs the Sub-Adviser to manage. Where Sub-Advisers are granted trading authority,
such advisers may be authorized to buy, sell and trade on behalf of a Client’s account and to give
instructions, consistent with their authority, to the relevant broker-dealer/custodian. Fees charged
by Sub-Advisers will be disclosed to Clients in account statements provided by the custodian and
will be deducted from the Firm’s advisory fee. However, Clients may incur transaction and
custodial fees on assets managed by a Sub-Adviser. Mavros will conduct due diligence into each
Sub- Adviser and will monitor and review all sub-advised accounts on a periodic basis.
MAVROS may also recommend Clients to enter into a separate advisory relationship with a third-
party investment adviser (“Independent Managers”). In such cases, Clients will need to enter into
a separate advisory agreement with the Independent Manager, and that agreement will define the
scope of the Independent Manager’s services to Clients. Fees charged by Independent Managers
will be disclosed to Clients in account statements provided by the custodian and will be separate
from and additional to the Firm’s advisory fee. Clients may also incur transaction and custodial
fees on assets managed by an Independent Manager. Mavros will conduct due diligence into each
Independent Manager and will monitor and review all independently managed accounts on a
periodic basis.
Mavros’ goal is to assist certain clients in addressing their wealth management needs and has
launched the Mavros Family Office Services team. To this end, MAVROS will identify a select
group of independent professional firms which can provide certain outsourced family office
services (e.g., tax advisory, trust and estate planning, bill pay etc.) to Mavros’ clients. Mavros
may recommend such outsourced family office service providers to Mavros clients, at a no cost
basis. Neither Mavros nor its employees will earn any direct compensation as part of such
recommendations, although an independent professional firm might decide to refer prospective
clients to Mavros, on his/her own accord. In addition, Mavros employees might be clients of
certain of these professional firms in their personal capacity. In fact, some recommendations
might be based, in part, on such personal experience. Neither MAVROS, nor any of its
employees, however, provides legal or tax advice, and Clients should consult with their own tax
and legal counsel for advice specific to them. A Client who wishes to learn more information
about this program is encouraged to reach out
to his/her service team.
If MAVROS advises Client to enter into a sub-advisory or independent manager agreement, Clients
may be asked to open new custodial accounts with a custodian to separate the sub-advised or
independently managed assets from assets advised directly by
MAVROS.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning is an evaluation of a Client’s current and future financial state by using currently
known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans while also
understanding personal values, goals, and objectives. Through the financial planning process, all
questions, information, and analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the entire
financial and life situation of the Client.
MAVROS will provide financial planning and consulting services to Clients, as outlined in a
Financial Planning Agreement executed by Client and MAVROS. Services are offered in several
areas depending on the Client’s goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services
will involve a written report, which provides the Client with a detailed financial plan to assist the
Client in achieving his or her financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to: financial position, risk
tolerances, capital appreciation objectives, income and liquidity requirements, tax considerations,
employee benefits, investment analysis, insurance analysis, retirement analysis, death and
disability considerations, investment horizon, and estate planning.
Retirement Plan Services
MAVROS engages with retirement plan Clients in a wide range of capacities. MAVROS advises
plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
as an ERISA Section 3(21) fiduciary providing investment recommendations to the plan sponsor
and/or plan trustee, or as an ERISA Section 3(38) “investment manager” with discretionary
authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the plan. In addition to allocating plan assets
and portfolio management, these services can include assistance in setting up an Investment Policy
Statement for the portfolio, managing cash and liquidity needs, selecting professional record‐
keepers, administrators and custodians, and providing quarterly or annual reviews of the portfolio’s
performance and our outlook on financial market conditions.
MAVROS also provides advisory services to clients with respect to their retirement accounts, such
as individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). The Firm has adopted policies and procedures designed
to comply with the ERISA fiduciary standards when advising retirement asset rollovers as set forth
in the Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02.
Donor Advised Fund Services
Some Mavros Clients will establish donor advised funds through various third -party charitable
programs (each, a “Charitable Platform”). The funds will be managed in accordance with the
specific investment policies and guidelines of the applicable Charitable Platform. Clients will
establish a donor advised account, transfer funds earmarked for charitable donation and recognize
a tax deduction in the year that funds are transferred into an account opened on a Charitable
Platform. The funds remain in such account until the Client designates a charity, an amount and a
date to donate to such charity.
Under independent advisor programs established within each Charitable Platform, donors nominate
an independent investment adviser, which could include MAVROS, to manage
accounts established on the Charitable Platforms. If nominated, MAVROS will manage the donor’s
account pursuant to investment guidelines established by each Charitable Platform.
Reporting on Non-Advisory Assets
As a service to certain Clients, Mavros provides consolidated reporting on Client non- advisory
assets. Non-advisory assets are assets independently owned by Clients and held- away. Mavros will
not have any custody or control of such assets, and the assets will not be included as assets under
management by Mavros. These non-advisory assets will not be subject to Mavros’ portfolio
management or monitoring, and Mavros will not provide any investment advice with respect to such
assets. Mavros will report the value of the non- advisory assets to the Client, based solely on the
valuations received by Mavros from the third-party managers of the non-advisory assets or other
third parties such as the custodian of the non-advisory assets. Mavros will not have any obligation
to independently examine, confirm or revise non-advisory asset valuations.
Any fees or costs associated with maintaining non-advisory accounts will be owed to the third-
party services that offer these accounts and will be governed by the terms and conditions of third
parties. Mavros has no role in negotiating or formulating the provisions of such third-party terms
and conditions. The success of investments conducted through third parties may vary.
Ancillary Services for Ancillary Assets
As a service to Clients, MAVROS may provide ancillary services as well as reporting on ancillary
assets as agreed upon by the Client and MAVROS under a separate Ancillary Services Agreement.
Pursuant to such an agreement, MAVROS shall provide the Client quarterly valuation reports on
such ancillary assets. The value of such assets will be based solely on, at the Client’s election, either
(i) the valuations received by MAVROS from third parties or (ii) at cost as reported by the Client.
Mavros shall not have any obligation to independently examine, confirm or revise the valuation of
the ancillary assets. The Client shall pay Mavros an annual services fee that is specified in the
Ancillary Services Agreement, which will be paid quarterly in advance in accordance with the
Client’s IMA.
MAVROS may assist certain clients with the formulation of a 10b5 -1 trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 of
the Exchange Act allows ‘insiders’ of public company to trade securities of their company in
compliance with insider trading laws through the development of a pre- determined trading plan
that provide for sales of securities according to pre-determined parameters. MAVROS may provide
this service pursuant to an Ancillary Services Agreement or as part of its normal investment
management services.
Assets under Management (Regulatory Assets Under Management)
As of August 5, 2023, Mavros has total regulatory assets under management of $0.
