Important regulatory and legal information for prospective and current clients.
This website is for informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, performance data, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product. The information provided is general in nature and is not directed to any specific individual or entity.
The information on this website does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or investment advisory services. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of a written investment management agreement and only in jurisdictions where permitted by law.
Investment advisory services are provided by Ravenwood Capital Management, LLC only to clients with whom the firm has entered into a written investment management agreement. Performance data and specific investment recommendations are only provided to clients pursuant to such agreements.
Ravenwood Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment adviser.
Registration as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training. It is simply a legal requirement for firms providing investment advice for compensation. All registered investment advisers are required to act as fiduciaries, meaning they must act in the best interests of their clients at all times.
All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.
Specific risks associated with our investment approach include, but are not limited to:
Prospective clients should carefully consider whether our investment approach and the associated risks are suitable for their individual circumstances, risk tolerance, and investment objectives.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections may not reflect actual future performance. Investment results will fluctuate, and there is always the potential for loss as well as gain.
Performance results, when presented to clients, are provided net of fees and reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees, transaction costs, and other expenses. Performance may vary significantly from client to client based on individual circumstances, account size, tax considerations, and the timing of investments.
This website may contain forward-looking statements regarding our investment philosophy, market outlook, or expectations for specific businesses or industries. These statements are based on current beliefs and available information and are subject to significant uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this website.
Ravenwood Capital Management, LLC does not provide tax or legal advice. While we consider tax efficiency in portfolio management, clients are advised to consult with their own tax advisers and legal counsel regarding the tax and legal implications of any investment decisions.
Certain information on this website may be obtained from third-party sources believed to be reliable. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of such information. Third-party data is provided for illustrative or informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for investment decisions.
Ravenwood Capital Management, LLC is compensated through investment advisory fees based on a percentage of assets under management. Our fee schedule is detailed in client investment management agreements.
Our fees are calculated on a graduated basis as follows:
Example: An account of $5,000,000 would pay 1.00% on the first $1,000,000 and 0.90% on the remaining $4,000,000.
Fees are billed quarterly in arrears based on the ending market value of assets under management (the last day of the calendar quarter). Fees are deducted directly from client accounts through custodial debit.
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee.
Clients will also incur certain costs imposed by third parties in connection with investments made in client accounts, including but not limited to:
We do not receive any portion of these third-party fees. Our fee structure is designed to align our interests with clients by basing compensation on the value of assets under management, not on trading activity or product sales.
Fee Negotiation: Fees may be negotiable based on account size, relationship complexity, and other factors. The specific fee arrangement for each client is set forth in the client's written investment management agreement.
As a fiduciary, we are required to disclose actual and potential conflicts of interest. Material conflicts are detailed in our Form ADV Part 2A. Key conflicts include:
Employees of Ravenwood Capital Management, LLC may invest in the same securities as clients. We have adopted a Code of Ethics to address potential conflicts arising from personal trading, including pre-clearance requirements, trading restrictions, and reporting obligations.
Because our fees are based on assets under management, we have a financial incentive to encourage clients to increase assets in their accounts or to discourage withdrawals. Clients should be aware of this conflict when deciding whether to add or withdraw assets.
Client funds and securities are maintained with a qualified custodian. We may recommend that clients use Interactive Brokers or other qualified broker-dealers and custodians for custody of their assets.
Our custodians provide us with access to institutional trading and operations services, research tools, and other products and services that assist us in managing client accounts. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors at no charge, so long as the advisor maintains a minimum amount of account assets with the custodian. While these services benefit us operationally, our primary consideration in selecting custodians is ensuring best execution and service for our clients.
Clients are not obligated to use our recommended custodians and may choose any qualified custodian.
The information on this page is subject to change. We update our Form ADV annually and more frequently if material changes occur to our business. Clients and prospective clients are encouraged to review our Form ADV for the most current information.
