We are proud to serve a broad group of clients across North America.
To maintain our high level of service for all of our clients, our typical account is
greater than $1,000,000 in assets. Our fees are based on total assets under
management and based on a portfolio of $1,000,000 or more and do not
exceed 1% of total assets. Additionally, we do not charge a carry, or
performance based fee, and there are no additional fees for asset management
services in common equity or fixed income portfolios. GKV does not charge
set-up or termination fees.
GKV Capital does not retain physical possession of any funds and/or securities
owned by clients at any time. Custodianship of assets is generally provided by
a financial institution of the client’s choice.
The firm has relationships with most major and discount brokerage firms. Due to
these relationships, GKV is able to obtain significant discounts on transaction
commissions. For these common stock transactions these discounts vary but are
generally 80-95% below full brokerage commission charges. GKV is also
generally able to substantially reduce the spread on fixed income transactions
thereby reducing a client’s cost and increasing yield. Because GKV is not
affiliated with any other financial institution, the firm is able to “shop” securities
across Wall Street in search of the best execution. The firm is also able to use
this independence in its research efforts, reviewing opportunities presented from
multiple sources. Because custodianship of all assets is held outside the firm,
clients receive statements and trade confirmations from their financial institution
in addition to GKV’s statements, providing additional third party corroboration and
detail of their accounts assets and performance.
