Overview
THE COMPANY
GFO Advisory Services, LLC (“GFOAS” or “the Firm” or “we” or “our”) is organized as a limited liability
company under the laws of the state of Florida and is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
GFOAS, was formerly known as GenSpring Family Offices, LLC and prior to that Asset Management
Advisors, LLC, (“AMA”) has been in business since 1999 and has been registered with the SEC since 1999.
At that time, AMA succeeded the business of Asset Management Advisors, Inc., which had been in business
since 1989. The Firm is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut.
GFOAS is owned by GenSpring Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Asset Management Holdings, Inc.), which
is separate, wholly owned non-bank indirect affiliate of Truist Bank (“TB”), a subsidiary of Truist Financial
Corporation (“TFC”). GenSpring Holdings, Inc. was purchased by TFC in March 2001.
OUR FUNDS
GFOAS is the general partner/managing member and/or investment adviser to a group of privately pooled
investment vehicles. Such vehicles are organized as domestic limited partnerships, limited liability
companies, and offshore corporations, (collectively, the “Private Funds”). Many of our Private Funds are
closed to new investment, and are in the process of liquidation.
We are primarily a “fund-of-funds” adviser, meaning we provide investment management to the Private
Funds, which invest primarily in other pooled investment funds managed and advised by third-party fund
managers. Third party managers appointed by GFOAS on behalf of our
Private Funds are responsible for
making investment decisions consistent with the investment guidelines, requirements and restrictions
developed by GFOAS. We generally do not conduct direct investment trading on behalf of any of our Private
Funds, although we reserve the right to do so. Where GFOAS is the investment adviser to a Private Fund,
investment objectives, guidelines and investment restrictions are not tailored to the needs of individual
investors in those vehicles, but rather are described in the private placement memorandum or other relevant
offering document for the vehicle.
Currently, our Multi-Manager Portfolio and Multi-Manager Master Portfolio, LLC (collectively, the “MMP
Funds”) are our only Private Funds open to new investment. The MMP is a master/feeder structure, whereby
the feeder is one onshore vehicle, and formally one offshore company which was closed in 2019 due to
economic factors.
The Private Fund entities use pooling to spread overhead, promote efficiency and consistency, enhance
access to desirable managers, and help satisfy minimum investment requirements.
Our Private funds are exempt from registration as investment companies in reliance on Section 3(c)1 or
3(c)7 of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Please refer to Schedule D of our Form
ADV Part 1 for a list of all of our Private Funds.
