Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our process begins with establishing the proper asset allocation for our clients that
creates the appropriate risk level and potential returns.
Bonds:
The bond portfolio is managed for safety and as a source of income, while the riskier
asset classes are held for their long-term return potential. The bond portfolio is managed
using a laddered strategy employing high quality fixed income instruments. This will
include US Treasuries, Federal Agencies, insured CD’s, and municipal securities. G&H
Investments will buy corporate bonds from time to time, but most of our purchases fall in
the other categories.
For our higher tax bracket clients, we will focus on high-quality tax-exempt securities.
Individual bonds are selected based on their time to maturity, their yield to maturity, and
several factors identifying their quality. This starts with the securities rating provided by
one or more of the rating agencies. Our minimum rating is a single-A (or equivalent).
We buy a large number of enhanced securities. This includes pre-refunded bonds, but
also includes bonds that carry the State Intercept programs, as well as other
enhancements. We look beyond the rating agencies using several sources of information,
including data on the municipal entities underlying stress index, unemployment rate,
foreclosure rate and other factors. We also monitor the municipal issuer data on the
EMMA website.
We expect bond risk to be lower than other asset classes. We are willing to accept a lower
return from the bonds in return for greater safety.
Equity:
Equity management utilizes a bottom-up (company-selected) approach. The portfolio is
diversified through the use of roughly 25 to 30 companies in various industries.
Economic research and forecasting suggests the industries and types of companies, and
fundamental research helps us select the individual company to purchase. G&H
Investments manages a concentrated portfolio that does not attempt to mimic the S+P
500, but instead attempts to beat the index over the long term.
We will exempt certain industries (we have not held a utility stock in over 20 years), and
will have concentrations in other industries. The fundamental research is based on P/E’s,
past earnings growth, future earnings growth, and the relationship between the P/E and
the potential growth rate (PEG ratio). We also believe in holding companies with lower
debt levels, and companies that pay a higher than Index dividend yield. We utilize the
FORM ADV: BROCHURE
GROSS & HARTMAN INVESTMENTS, LLC
following types of securities in our Equity Portfolios: Exchange listed equity Securities,
US Traded Foreign Securities, Exchange Traded Funds, Convertible Bonds and
Convertible Preferred shares, and Interests in Real Estate Partnerships.
Mutual and Private Fund Portfolios:
Mutual fund portfolios are managed for our clients for added diversification or for those
clients with a bias against individual equities. Our approved manager list is developed
through in-house research, which utilizes a matrix of attributes. This includes short and
long-term returns, fees, turnover, and manager tenure (among other characteristics). The
manager list also includes index funds in various categories. For active managers, we
have approved funds for large cap value, large cap growth, small cap value, small cap
growth, international, international value, international growth, emerging markets, real
estate and high yield bonds. We also advise some clients to use outside managers
(separately managed accounts).
Private Funds:
We may recommend that certain clients invest in unaffiliated private funds, which are not
publicly offered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Private Funds”). Such private funds
may be structured as pools of assets for investment into a wide range of securities,
derivatives, portfolio companies (including both private and public companies), and U.S.
or non-U.S. publicly held companies. Such funds are only available to qualified
investors, generally known as “accredited investors”. G&H Investments will evaluate
which clients are suitable for such investments. In considering the suitability of a client
for private fund investments, G&H Investments will consider whether the client is
accredited or not, whether the proposed investment is consistent with the client’s
investment objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs, and the costs and anticipated
returns of the particular fund.

compensation received by G&H Investments and the private fund adviser resulting from
