General Information
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Gleneagles Investment Advisors LLC (“GIA,” “we” or “the Firm”) was formed
on October 2020 as a Georgia LLC and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gleneagles Group, LLC
(“Gleneagles Group”).
GIA has filed its initial investment adviser registration with the SEC in reliance on the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 (“the Advisers Act”) Rule 203A-2(c) exemption, which allows a firm to register initially with
the SEC if it has a reasonable expectation that it would be eligible to register with the SEC within 120 days
after the date the firm’s registration with the SEC becomes effective. Accordingly, this Brochure discusses
our anticipated operations and services to be provided following the effective date of our SEC registration
as an investment adviser.
GIA provides investment advisory and asset management services on a non-discretionary basis to certain
client families of Gleneagles Capital Management (“GCM”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gleneagles
Group that provides non-investment consulting and management services to a limited number of high net
worth families, as well to other family offices that have limited personnel. Gleneagles Group is controlled
by its principal, David Plyler.
Individualized Advisory Services
GIA provides non-discretionary investment management services to individual clients regarding single
stock portfolios, employee option strategies, options trading, or pooled investment vehicles (“Pooled
Investments”), which may include, without limitation, investment companies, hedge funds, funds of funds
and private equity funds, and the monitoring and evaluation of the performance of third-party money
managers. In addition, GIA offers non-discretionary advisory services with respect to a client’s overall
portfolio. In these cases, GIA will work with the client to determine the client’s financial circumstances
and investment objectives.
Our advisory services are tailored to each client based on their individual needs. Clients may also impose
restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of securities. We work with our clients to develop a
continuous investment program (“Investment Policy and Guidelines”) based on an analysis of various
factors, including, without limitation, the client’s diversification, liquidity and distribution requirements
and other investment objectives, investment restrictions, tax position, other assets not advised by us, social
concerns, and risk tolerance.
We review the Investment Policy and Guidelines with our clients as needed, but no less frequently than
annually. In this review we consider whether amendments or modifications to the Investment Policy and
Guidelines may be appropriate. When changes are made to a clients’ Investment Policy and Guidelines at
the client’s discretion, we will work with the client to identify positions in the portfolio that may need to be
liquidated to bring the portfolio in line with the new or revised Investment Policy and Guidelines.
GIA does not provide wrap fees programs.
GIA currently manages client assets of approximately $13,190,929 on a discretionary basis and
$2,454,579,410 on a non-discretionary basis. These amounts reflect regulatory assets under management
(“RAUM”) and were calculated as of December 31, 2023. It is noted that RAUM are assets of securities
portfolios over which the adviser provides “continuous and regular supervisory or management services,”
regardless of whether they are proprietary assets, assets managed without receiving compensation or assets
of foreign clients, all of which an adviser currently may, but is not required to exclude in calculating the
“assets under management” for SEC registration purposes. RAUM represents gross assets rather than net
assets (AUM).
Private Pooled Investment Vehicles
GIA serves as investment manager to several privately-offered pooled investment vehicles and funds of
funds (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds include Gleneagles Absolute Return Fund, LLC (“GARF”),
Gleneagles Credit Partners I, LLC (“GCPI”), Gleneagles Private Equity Partners I, LLC (“GPEP”) and
Gleneagles Credit Partners II, LLC (“GCPII”).
