Overview
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
KYUR, Inc. (hereinafter “KYUR”) is a Corporation organized in the State of Connecticut.
KYUR is registered with the SEC and the State of California. The firm was formed in 2016
and the principal owner is Pinehill Capital LLC.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management & Subadvisor Services
KYUR offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. KYUR creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a
portfolio that matches each client's specific situation. Portfolio management services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
KYUR evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. KYUR will request discretionary authority from clients in order
to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to
each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy
Statement, which is given to each client. KYUR uses proprietary mathematical algorithms
and quantitative screens, which are primarily derived from modern portfolio theory and
behavioral economics, to appraise risk tolerances of individual investors and formulate
investment advice for them accordingly.
KYUR seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of KYUR’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, KYUR attempts
to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, KYUR’s policy is to
seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among
its
clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is KYUR’s policy to allocate
investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent
among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
KYUR may also act as a subadvisor to advisers unaffiliated with KYUR. These third-party
advisers would outsource portfolio management services to KYUR. This relationship will
be memorialized in each contact between KYUR and the third-party adviser.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
KYUR generally limits its investment advice to fixed income securities, real estate funds
(including REITs), equities, hedge funds, private equity funds, ETFs (including ETFs in
the gold and precious metal sectors), treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds
and non-U.S. securities, although KYUR primarily recommends ETFs and U.S. equities to
a majority of its clients. KYUR may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio
when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
KYUR will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include questions about
the client’s personal finances, investment goals, and risk tolerances, and information
collections, electronic or otherwise, to get to know the client’s specific needs and
requirements as well as a plan that will be executed by KYUR on behalf of the client.
KYUR may use “model portfolios” together with a specific set of recommendations for
each client based on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may not impose
restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their
values or beliefs.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and other administrative
fees. KYUR does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
