Growth Equity Management, Inc.

Growth Equity Management, Inc. provides diversified portfolio investment management using mutual funds, ETFs and listed stocks for individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, other ERISA accounts, trusts, estates and business entities. The firm begins with an initial interview and data-gathering process to determine client objectives and permits clients to impose investment restrictions or direct brokerage instructions.

The adviser emphasizes asset-allocation strategies and diversification through ETFs and mutual funds, may maintain cash positions to offset volatility, and applies charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis. Growth Equity Management generally receives discretionary trading authority, monitors investments daily, reviews performance at least monthly, and uses institutional platform services (TradePMR) with custodians such as Wells Fargo Clearing Services for execution and reporting.

The principal also operates an accounting and tax-preparation practice that consumes about 40% of his time; this outside business activity is disclosed as a potential conflict of interest and clients are under no obligation to use those services. The firm’s client mix — including pension/profit-sharing and other ERISA accounts and business entities — combined with its small, state-registered, single-advisor structure and platform-based trade aggregation and monthly written reporting, shapes an operational profile that differs from many solo independent advisers.
