GR Financial Group, LLC offers the following advisory services to our clients:
• Individual Portfolio Management
• Financial Planning
• Complimentary Educational Seminars
Individual Portfolio Management
Investment management services are provided on a discretionary basis, which means the firm makes
investment decisions and implements trades in clients’ accounts without first obtaining permission
from clients.
Our firm provides continuous discretionary advice to clients regarding the investment of their managed
assets based on the individual needs of each client. During our initial meetings and data-gathering
process, we determine the client’s individual goals and objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and
liquidity needs, which is compiled and shared with the client. As appropriate, we also review and
discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. The firm
provides continuous advice on a discretionary basis and from time-to-time offers complimentary
educational seminars.
Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors.
In general, our investment recommendations and portfolios are largely built around various open-end
mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”); however, clients should be aware that we will also
utilize multiple asset classes such as equities, fixed income, money market, and sector specific (such as
but not limited to gold and energy ETFs), based on technical triggers of the marketplace and GR
Financial’s rotation strategies. This can cause a client’s managed account(s) assets to shift heavily into
one of these particular asset classes at any given time (including a money market fund) resulting in a
more concentrated position. At times, it is possible for clients’ accounts to hold an all-cash position
despite the style of management or risk objective (e.g., growth) of a client’s portfolio. Holdings in
client accounts may also differ based on various fundamental and technical triggers and GR Financial’s
analysis. Please refer to Item 8 for additional
information.
Because some types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with a client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for
risk, liquidity, and suitability. Prior to rendering Individual Portfolio Management services to a client,
GR Financial and the client will enter into an investment advisory agreement. Please refer to Item 5
below for information on agreement termination.
Financial Planning
We provide a complimentary general financial plan based upon an analysis of the individual client’s
needs. Our firm’s financial planning analysis is designed to provide clients with a summary of their
financial needs and an analysis of steps they may wish to consider within their investment portfolio and
financial situation in order to help achieve specified financial goals and objectives. We begin this process
by reviewing a client’s current, and future financial state by using currently known variables to predict
future cash flows, asset values, and withdrawal plans. Through the financial planning process, all
questions, information, and analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the entire
financial and life situation of the client. Clients receive a report which provides the client with a financial
plan designed to assist in achieving their financial goals and objectives.
Generally, our financial planning process addresses some or all of the following areas, depending on client
needs:
• PERSONAL: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and
financial goals.
• INVESTMENTS: We analyze investment alternatives and their effect on the client's portfolio.
• INSURANCE: We review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability,
long-term care, and liability.
• RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve his
or her retirement goals.
• DEATH & DISABILITY: We review cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents,
estate planning, and disability income.
The client has full discretion to accept or reject our firm’s recommendations outlined in the client’s
financial plan. Should the client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we
suggest the client work closely with their attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker.
Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion. GR Financial
will not be held responsible for the clients’ implementation of advice through third parties (such as
attorneys, accountants, and/or insurance agents), or advice received from third parties in connection
with a financial plan.
Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
