IKE Capital was founded by the firm’s principal, Lawrence H. Levy, in August 2004 with the goal to match
each individual investor with the appropriate allocation of risk for his or her portfolio through its investment
management services. Mr. Levy has Parkinson’s Disease and is open to discussing his condition with
clients. The Firm has a succession plan in place for future needs.
Prior to engaging IKE Capital to provide any of the foregoing investment advisory services, the client is
required to enter into one or more written agreements with IKE Capital setting forth the terms and
conditions under which IKE Capital renders its services (collectively the “Agreement”). Neither IKE
Capital nor the client may assign the Agreement without the consent of the other party. A transaction that
does not result in a change of actual control or management of IKE Capital is not considered an
assignment.
As of December 29, 2023, IKE Capital has $162,331,050 of assets under management, of which
$150,036,385 are managed on a discretionary basis and $12,294,665 are managed on a non-
discretionary basis.
This disclosure brochure describes the business of IKE Capital. Certain sections will also describe the
activities of Supervised Persons. Supervised Persons are any of IKE Capital’s officers, partners, directors
(or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employees, or any other
persons who provide investment advice on IKE Capital’s behalf and are subject to IKE Capital’s
supervision or control.
Investment Management Services
Clients can engage IKE Capital to manage all or a portion of their assets on a discretionary or non-
discretionary basis. IKE Capital does not provide financial planning services.
IKE Capital primarily allocates clients’ investment management assets among fixed income and individual
equities, and to a lesser extent among Independent Managers (as defined below), mutual funds and/or
exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in accordance with the investment objectives of the client. Less
frequently, the Firm also allocates client assets to privately placed securities. IKE Capital also provides
advice about any type of investment held in clients' portfolios.
IKE Capital tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of clients. IKE Capital consults with clients
initially and on an ongoing basis to determine risk tolerance, time horizon and other factors that impact
the clients’ investment needs. IKE Capital endeavors to make certain that clients’ investments are
suitable for their investment needs, goals, objectives and risk tolerance.
Clients are advised to promptly notify IKE Capital if there are changes in their financial situation or
investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon IKE Capital’s
management services.

Use of Independent Managers
In limited circumstances, IKE Capital recommends that certain clients authorize the active discretionary
management of a portion
of their assets by and/or among certain independent investment managers
(“Independent Managers”), based upon the stated investment objectives of the client. The terms and
conditions under which the client engages the Independent Managers are set forth in a separate written
agreement between IKE Capital or the client and the designated Independent Managers. IKE Capital
renders services to the client relative to the discretionary and/or non-discretionary selection or
recommendation of Independent Managers. IKE Capital also monitors and reviews the account
performance and the client’s investment objectives. IKE Capital receives an annual advisory fee which is
based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets being managed by the designated
Independent Managers.
When recommending or selecting an Independent Manager for a client, IKE Capital reviews information
about the Independent Manager such as its disclosure brochure and/or material supplied by the
Independent Manager or independent third parties for a description of the Independent Manager’s
investment strategies, past performance and risk results to the extent available. Factors that IKE Capital
considers in recommending an Independent Manager include the client’s stated investment objectives,
management style, performance, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research. The
investment management fees charged by the designated Independent Managers, together with the fees
charged by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the client’s assets, are exclusive of,
and in addition to, IKE Capital’s investment advisory fee set forth above. As discussed above, the client
may incur additional fees than those charged by IKE Capital, the designated Independent Managers, and
corresponding broker-dealer and custodian.
In addition to IKE Capital’s written disclosure brochure, the client also receives the written disclosure
brochure of the designated Independent Managers. Certain Independent Managers impose more
restrictive account requirements and varying billing practices than IKE Capital. In such instances, IKE
Capital may alter its corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those
of the Independent Managers.
If IKE Capital refers a client to an Independent Manager where IKE Capital’s compensation is included in
the advisory fee charged by such Independent Manager and the client engages the Independent
Manager, IKE Capital shall be compensated for its services by receipt of a fee to be paid directly by the
Independent Manager to IKE Capital in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-3 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any corresponding state securities laws, rules,
regulations, or requirements. Any such fee is paid solely from the Independent Manager’s investment
management fee, and does not result in any additional charge to the client.
