Brochure Summary

Overview

Black Swift Group, LLC (“Black Swift” or “Adviser” or “Firm”) is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Black Swift was formed in 2016 and is organized as a Colorado limited liability company. Black Swift is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado and is principally owned and controlled by Greg Casals, the Managing Member of Black Swift. Black Swift provides investment management services primarily for high-net-worth individuals, corporations, trusts, foundations, and other entities through separately managed accounts (“SMA”). Black Swift also provides investment advisory services to five private funds, the Black Swift Special Situations Fund, LP, the Black Swift Healthier Focus Fund, LP, the Black Swift Partners Fund, LP, the Pro Cyclist Fund, LP, and the Pro Cyclist Institutional Fund, LP, collectively referred to as the “Funds.” The Funds are structured as U.S. Limited Partnerships. Collectively, Funds and SMAs are referred to as “Accounts.” SMAs We serve as investment manager to clients with respect to assets held in SMAs in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the applicable investment management agreement with each client. As part of these services, we (i) establish each client’s investment objectives after considering such factors as the client’s investment time horizon, liquidity needs and risk tolerance; (ii) buy and sell portfolio securities on our clients’ behalf and, from time to time, reallocate the securities in our clients’ portfolios; and (iii) periodically meet with our clients regarding their portfolio holdings and their holdings’ valuation, their transactions and their portfolio’s performance. The equity securities we select for our clients derive from our equity strategy which consists of a sector allocation approach. Within this diversified equity approach, we compose our equity sector choices based on a top-down approach, utilizing index sector baskets or individual equities which capture sector and economic trends. Fundamental analysis, or a bottom-up approach to investing can also be used in tandem to our top-down research. Fixed income investments are utilized to enhance portfolio return or provide portfolio income. Securities such as closed-end funds, structured credit, corporate credit, treasury, agency, or other credit securities may be utilized for portfolio construction. Alternative investments, such as investments in private funds including Black Swift’s Funds, or other niche investments strategies may be utilized as satellite strategies to provide further diversification. Derivative securities, such as options, may be used to hedge investment exposure, or to more efficiently utilize capital. Our services and processes are designed to determine and address each client’s specific investment needs and objectives through a series of meetings with that client designed to collect information as to his or her investment and financial circumstances and objectives, investment
time horizon and risk tolerance. The client may also impose restrictions on our ability to implement particular types of transactions or strategies on his or her behalf. We maintain for each SMA, a risk tolerance questionnaire that is updated on a periodic basis as needed.
