Advisory Services
Deans Knight serves as an investment adviser or sub-adviser to various clients, including, but not
limited to, high net worth individuals, corporations, foundations, investment companies, and
employee pension plans (collectively referred to herein as “Clients”).
Deans Knight also serves as advisor and general partner to pooled investment vehicles formed as
limited partnerships and offshore investment funds (collectively referred to herein as the “Fund
Clients”). Interests in the Fund Clients and privately offered pooled investment vehicles are offered
exclusively to investors satisfying the applicable eligibility and suitability requirements. No offer
to sell these interests is made by the descriptions in this Brochure, and as noted these funds are
available only to investors that are properly qualified.
Deans Knight also advises the Deans Knight Equity Growth Fund, DK JDS Resource Fund, and
Deans Knight Income Fund, each a Canadian pooled investment vehicle offered only to non-U.S.
clients. The Firm’s activities with respect to non-U.S. clients may differ from those described
generally herein and the Firm may provide additional or different services to non-U.S. clients.
Furthermore, any discussion of activities with respect to non-U.S. clients is intended solely to
provide recipients a more complete understanding of the Firm’s
business, including potential
conflicts of interest. This Brochure is not: a) an offer or agreement to provide advisory services to
any person, b) an offer to sell interests (or a solicitation of an offer to purchase interests) in any
investment fund, or c) a complete discussion of the features, risks or conflicts associated with any
investment fund or any other product or service offered by the Firm.
Generally, Deans Knight provides investment management and supervisory services on a
discretionary basis.
Deans Knight seeks to provide investors with superior long-term rates of return on capital. Our
investment strategies include Equity Growth and Income Generation, as described further in Item
8.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Advisory services are tailored to achieve the Clients’ investment needs and objectives. Generally,
we have the authority to select which and how many securities or other instruments to buy or sell
without consultation with the Clients. In certain circumstances, we may modify our primary
investment strategies, as necessary, to meet the goals that our Clients specify, in an effort to
accommodate the particular investment objectives and accompanying restrictions requested by our
Clients. At the commencement of the client relationship, each of our Clients executes an
investment management agreement and account opening documents, which sets forth their
investment objectives, investment strategy and any investment restrictions that will be applicable
to our management of the assets in the Client’s account. Prior to the execution of the agreement,
we review requested objectives and restrictions and work with the Client as needed to refine these
objectives and restrictions to both meet the Client’s needs and provide us with sufficient discretion
to properly invest the Client’s assets.
Deans Knight does not tailor its portfolio management services to the individual needs of the Fund
Clients they advise.
