Firm Description 
Corundum Group, Inc.  (“CG”) was founded in 1992 and operated as a family office.  At the start, nearly all assets 
under management were from descendants of a single family. As it grew, CG gained numerous other  high-net-
worth clients.  The office is located in Colorado Springs, CO. 
CG  is  a  Registered  Investment  Advisor  with  the  SEC  that  provides  investment  advisory  services  and  manages 
investment accounts for individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, foundations, and partnerships. Advice is 
provided  through  consultation  with  the  client  and  may  include  determining  financial  objectives,  identifying 
financial problems, cash flow management, tax planning, estate planning, retirement planning, insurance review, 
and education funding.   
CG provides its clients with access to a range of equity investment classes and styles, including large-cap growth 
and value, small and midcap growth and value, and international stocks. Other investments, such as fixed income, 
debt funds, real estate, and private equity, are also offered to clients. Most clients have given CG discretionary 
authority to buy and sell investments on their behalf. 
Principal Owners 
CG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corundum Holdings, Inc. Ron Johnson is the Founder and primary shareholder 
of Corundum Holdings, Inc.  
Types of Advisory Services 
Asset Allocation: CG meets with clients to establish investment goals, risk tolerance, and income needs. From its 
broad asset allocation choices, CG creates a target allocation for each client, which is periodically compared to the 
actual allocation.  
Investment  Management: A  large  portion  of  assets  under  management  are  invested  in  Private  Funds.  These 
Private Funds can be managed by either CG or its affiliate, Corundum Partners, Inc. In some cases, the investments 
inside these Private Funds are managed by third-party investment managers. Some of the funds invest in specific 
strategies and allow some control over taxable realized gains. Other funds are vehicles for investing in alternative 
private investments, including proprietary products.  
Mutual funds and individual securities can also be held in separately managed brokerage accounts.
                                        
                                        
                                             The brokerage 
firm does not typically charge a fee for stock and bond trades but does charge a transaction or an asset-based fee 
for its services as a broker-dealer, such as sub-advisory and custody (see Item 12: Brokerage Practices). Federal, 
state, and agency fees may apply. CG does not receive compensation from mutual fund companies.  
Estate Planning: CG advises interested clients on a wide range of estate planning techniques. These techniques 
may include Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts, Grantor-Retained Annuity Trusts, Charitable Lead Annuity Trusts, 
Charitable  Remainder  Unitrusts,  Irrevocable  Life  Insurance  Trusts,  Limited  Partnerships,  or  other  currently 
appropriate planning techniques. 
Tailored Relationships 
The goals and objectives for each client are documented, and an Advisory Services Agreement is executed that 
explains the services we provide and our fees. A Statement of Investment Objectives is created to reflect the risk 
tolerance, time horizon, and investment objectives of each client. We provide quarterly reports and meet with 
clients as needed. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain types of securities.  
Allocation of investment opportunities will not be uniform among clients. Not all investments are suitable for all 
clients due to clients’ varying investment objectives, risk tolerance, and eligibility.  Although clients with smaller 
account  balances  often  participate  in  investment  opportunities  made  possible  by  larger  CG  clients,  not  all 
investments will be offered or offered proportionally to all clients.  
Assets under Management 
As of December 31, 2023, CG manages approximately $1,407,752,246 in client assets, of which approximately 
$1,402,055,122 is managed on a discretionary basis, and $5,697,124 is managed on a non-discretionary basis.  
Assets under Advisement 
An asset under advisement (“AUA”) calculation includes all assets that an advisor advises on and may include non-
securities such as real estate, loans, and other income-producing properties, as examples. AUA will be reported 
based  on  the  asset's  current  known  values  as  of  the  reporting  date.  As  of  December  31,  2023,  CG  has 
approximately $2,215,507,367 in AUA.
