Dragus is an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm focused on providing investment
management services to high-net-worth individuals, families, companies and institutions. By
consolidating resources Dragus strives to provide a discreet and stable service based on strategies
designed to protect and grow the liquid assets of our clients.
Dragus’ sole mission is the management of its clients’ liquid assets. The firm’s objective is the
preservation of capital and the long-term growth of the assets under its management. Dragus seeks to
achieve this through intelligent solutions focused on the specific needs of our individual clients.

high-quality investment products and providers in order to create a diversified portfolio aimed at meeting
its clients’ objectives.
Prior to engaging Dragus to provide any of the foregoing investment advisory services, the client is
required to enter into one or more written agreements with Dragus setting forth the terms and conditions
under which Dragus renders its services (collectively the “Agreement”).

This Disclosure Brochure describes the business of Dragus. Certain sections will also describe the
activities of Supervised Persons. Supervised Persons are any of Dragus’ officers, partners, directors, or

Investment Management Services
Clients engage Dragus to manage all or a portion of their assets either on a discretionary or non-
discretionary basis.
Dragus primarily allocates clients’ investment management assets among mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual equity and debt securities (i.e., stocks and bonds) in accordance
with the clients’ investment objectives. Dragus’ investment policy does not permit recommendations of
private placements of securities, which may include debt, equity, and/or pooled investment vehicles, even
to clients who are “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Notwithstanding the types of investments that Dragus recommends to its clients, Dragus will
provide advice about any type of investment held in its clients' portfolios.
Dragus tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of its clients. To do so, Dragus consults with
clients initially and on an ongoing basis to determine their risk tolerance, time horizon and other factors
that may impact the clients’ investment needs. On an ongoing basis, Dragus ensures that clients’
investments are suitable for their investment needs, goals, objectives, and risk tolerance.
Clients are advised to promptly notify Dragus if there are changes in their financial situation or investment
objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon Dragus’ management services.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their account (e.g.,
require that a portion of their assets be invested in socially responsible funds) if, in Dragus’ sole discretion,
the conditions will not materially impact the performance of a portfolio strategy or prove overly
burdensome to its management efforts.
Wealth Planning Services
Dragus provides Wealth Planning Services primarily to clients who are non-U.S. persons. These services
include establishing an ownership structure that assists clients with wealth preservation when assets are
passed to next generations, planning how their assets will be distributed to their descendants when they
pass away, protecting the beneficiaries of the assets during their lifetime, and to optimizing U.S. estate
taxes for assets in the U.S.
To accomplish these goals, Dragus normally recommends two types of ownership structures: Trusts
and/or Offshore Companies. Providers recommended by Dragus for this type of service include:
• Forbes Hare Trust Company
• Zedra Trust Company
• Morning Star Holdings Services
• Integritas Trust
• Alemán, Cordero, Galindo & Lee (Alcogal)
Consulting Services
Occasionally, Dragus may offer consulting services to clients on an hourly basis that do not involve
investment management. These services include, but are not limited to, assisting with the purchase of
real estate; assisting with the purchase of businesses or making business decisions; assisting; dealing
with accountants and other professionals; and assisting with trust structures changes.
