GD Investment Advisers LLC

GD Investment Advisers LLC provides discretionary investment advice and portfolio management for separate accounts held by individuals, small businesses, and institutional clients, overseeing roughly $14.3 million across eight accounts. The firm generally charges asset-based management fees and, for clients who meet regulatory “qualified client” criteria, may also assess performance-based (incentive) fees.

The adviser’s investment process is grounded in fundamental analysis and seeks absolute returns over a multi-year (3–5 year) horizon through a potentially concentrated portfolio of primarily U.S. equities and options. GD Investment operates with broad discretionary authority and explicitly contemplates the use of options, derivatives, short sales, margin and other leverage, as well as occasional investments in distressed or high-yield instruments.

What is distinctive for this small firm is the combination of performance-based compensation and active derivatives usage in separately managed accounts — two features that are less common among independent advisers. The firm manages client assets internally, maintains a limited client roster, and discloses policies (including a Code of Ethics and allocation procedures) intended to address the resulting potential conflicts and risk considerations.
