Jordan Park Group LLC (“Jordan Park” or the “Firm”) provides investment management and financial
advice to a distinct community of primarily high net worth individuals, families, and their related entities,
including trusts and estates, as well as charitable organizations, foundations, donor-advised funds, and
other clients.
The Firm, which is privately held, was founded in 2017 and is principally owned by our Chief Executive
Officer, Frank Ghali, through Jordan Park Holding Company LLC and his related estate planning entities.
While the Firm is not owned or affiliated with another institution such as a bank, broker-dealer, or
insurance company, it is under common ownership with an affiliated trust company, the Jordan Park Trust
Company (“JPTC”), based in New Hampshire. At the end of 2023, there were 127 employees at Jordan
Park across three offices in San Francisco, California, New York, New York, and Portsmouth, New
Hampshire. Jordan Park provides the following advisory services, among other services, to clients, in each
case pursuant to written agreements (collectively, a “Client Agreement”) executed by both Jordan Park
and the client.
Investment Management and Financial Advisory Services. Jordan Park manages and oversees the
investment of client assets primarily on a discretionary basis (“Managed Assets”).
As part of the advisory relationship and investment process, Jordan Park works with each client to assess
its unique financial situation and to develop and maintain a customized Investment Policy Statement
(“IPS”) that reflects the client’s overall investment objectives and constraints. The IPS is updated
periodically and facilitates investment planning and the implementation of a client’s portfolio based on
the client’s specific investment guidelines and restrictions, risk objectives, liquidity considerations, and/or
any unique investment goals, such as environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors or restrictions
and impact considerations.
Using each client’s IPS, Jordan Park develops a strategic and comprehensive asset allocation and invests
the client’s Managed Assets across a spectrum of investment strategies in one or more of the following
ways: (i) through a portfolio of separate accounts sub-advised by third-party advisors (“Separate
Accounts”), (ii) directly in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and other investments including
pooled investment vehicles managed by third-parties (“Direct Investments”), and/or (iii) directly in pooled
investment vehicles sponsored and managed by Jordan Park (“Access Vehicles”, and together with
Separate Accounts and Direct Investments, the client’s “Portfolio”). Using these strategies, Jordan Park
can customize each Portfolio to meet a client’s particular needs. The Firm also provides advice concerning
diversification strategies and other advisory services to certain clients regarding assets that are not
Managed Assets, such as concentrated equity or substantial real estate assets holdings, if such services
are included in the Client Agreement.
As part of the investment management services, the Firm also selects sub-advisors on behalf of clients to
manage portions of their Managed Assets through Separate Accounts, in each case pursuant to the terms
and conditions of an agreement with the relevant sub-advisor. For Access Vehicles, the Firm selects the
underlying investments, either in a fund managed by another advisor or in direct investments or co-
investments with managers or portfolio companies. Where appropriate, Jordan Park, or a third-party
engaged by Jordan Park, conducts initial due diligence on, and monitors on a periodic basis, such sub-
advisors, managers, and other investments. Jordan Park typically negotiates the fees to be paid by clients
or by the Access Vehicles.
Jordan Park also provides consolidated performance reporting for the Managed Assets of our clients, and
in some cases, develops customized reporting to include other assets not managed by Jordan Park.
Family Office Services. Upon request, Jordan Park will provide a range of family office services customized
to serve the needs of its clients, including broad-based balance sheet and cash flow analysis; cash flow
and capital budgeting and forecasting; reporting; income tax planning analysis and coordination with
clients’ tax advisors; wealth transfer and related gift and estate tax planning analysis and coordination
with clients’ estate advisors; philanthropy and charitable gift strategy and planning; insurance policy
review and analysis; payment processing (including bill pay); support in acquiring and disposing of major
assets; advice regarding management and retention of employees and other service providers; and other
services typically undertaken by family offices on behalf of their clients.
Jordan Park will deliver these services after consultation with the client and in partnership and
coordination with the client’s existing outside
advisors, including legal counsel, accounting professionals,
estate planning professionals, insurance providers, philanthropic advisors, and family office staff (or, in
their absence, advisors recommended by Jordan Park and selected by the client). In some cases, some of
these services may be provided by third-party service provider engaged by Jordan Park. If requested by a
client and agreed to by Jordan Park, family office services can be provided with respect to client assets
and liabilities beyond Jordan Park’s Managed Assets, regardless of custodian or asset manager, or in some
cases may be offered to clients who do not have Managed Assets with Jordan Park.
Clients may also choose to appoint JPTC to serve as trustee of their trust entities in accordance with a
separate agreement with JPTC.
IRA Rollover Recommendations. For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction
Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02"), when applicable, Jordan Park is providing the following
acknowledgment to clients. When the Firm provides investment advice to clients regarding their
retirement plan account or individual retirement account, Jordan Park is a fiduciary within the meaning
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way the Firm makes money creates some conflicts
with client interests. Jordan Park operates under an exemption that requires the Firm to act in the clients’
best interest and not put the Firm’s or its employees’ interest ahead of the clients. Under this exemption,
Jordan Park must:
• meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• never put the Firm’s or its employees’ financial interests ahead of the clients when making
recommendations (give loyal advice);
• avoid making misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that the Firm and its employees give advice
that is in the clients’ best interest;
• charge no more than is reasonable for services; and
• give the clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Jordan Park benefits financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement account to an
account that the Firm manages or provides investment advice, because the assets increase the Firm’s
assets under management and, in turn, its Advisory Fees (as defined below). As a fiduciary, Jordan Park
only recommends a rollover when the Firm and its employees believe it is in the clients’ best interest.
Clients are given an opportunity to review the Firm’s recommendations with respect to a rollover and are
required to sign a written acknowledgement.
ESG and Impact Investing and Advising. Jordan Park provides a range of services related to ESG and
impact investing, as well as guidance and advice regarding philanthropy strategy and non-profit
management. ESG and impact considerations are integrated into the overall investment due diligence and
selection process across Jordan Park’s investment activities by considering ESG and impact factors
alongside non-ESG or impact factors. Clients have the ability to indicate their preference for ESG and
impact Investing in their IPS. For clients who indicate a preference for ESG and impact Investing, the Firm
will allocate a client’s Portfolio into available investment opportunities that have either an ESG or impact
investment objective and are consistent with the client’s financial goals. ESG and impact reporting is also
available to clients upon request which provides an analysis and assessment of the ESG and impact
characteristics in the client’s Portfolio. Other impact advisory services include education and guidance,
strategy and activation, and the facilitation of partnerships and community. In addition, these services
may include support specific to philanthropy such as budgeting and planning, entity and grantmaking
facilitation, and philanthropic reporting.
Assets Not Advised by Jordan Park. At times, clients request Jordan Park to transact in and/or oversee
certain securities or other assets that Jordan Park does not advise on. If deemed appropriate based on
the client’s individual needs and circumstances, Jordan Park will agree to provide such services and will
also consider the impact of such securities or other assets in its overall asset allocation recommendations.
However, Jordan Park is not obligated to provide investment advice on such securities or other assets for
which it does not regularly provide investment management services or on non-advised assets.
Wrap Fee Programs. The Firm does not participate in or sponsor wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management. As of December 31, 2023, the Firm had approximately $15.4 billion in assets
under management, the majority of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
