Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation is an employee-owned investment
adviser, providing equity portfolio management services to endowments, foundations,
pension plans, trusts, IRA’s and high net worth individuals and individual customers.
Since our founding in 1993, we’ve provided above-market investment performance
through a disciplined, risk-sensitive process. Total discretionary assets under
management at December 31, 2023, were $76,873,882.
Groesbeck Investment Management offers distinct equity portfolio management
investment strategies depending on the client’s requirements and objectives. Our Growth
of Income style seeks to provide a growing stream of current income and a total return in
excess of the S&P 500. Our Growth style seeks to generate higher than market returns,
primarily through capital appreciation. The MLP investment product seeks to provide
high current income and distribution growth through investments in Master Limited
Partnership securities (MLP). The investment processes of these portfolio management
strategies are discussed further in Item 8.
We conduct our business through several methods. Clients may sign on individually with
our firm by signing a client agreement and either chooses a broker-dealer, custodian and
broker or delegate that decision to us. For more information regarding brokerage
practices, please see Item 12. In some cases where we have discretionary authority, some
clients impose restrictions, such as: (1) the mix of the portfolio between stocks, bonds
and/or cash equivalent; (2) the percentage invested in a particular issue or industry; (3)
the quality of the securities held; (4) prohibit the purchase or sale of particular stocks or
securities, among others.
Another method of investment is through sponsored “wrap” programs or “overlay”
programs that refer business to us. In the wrap business, the customer generally pays a
bundled single fee (said to be wrapped) to the sponsoring organization which is usually a
bank or broker-dealer. Please see ADV Part 1 Item 5 Section 5.I.(2) Schedule D for a list
of wrap and referral sponsor organizations. Please note that the wrap programs are not
directly offered by Groesbeck Investment Management Corp. In these lines of business,
we provide portfolio management services only and do not negotiate fees, or provide
custody or trading services.
