A. Description of Firm
Millennium Investment Services (“MIS”) is a Los Angeles-based investment management firm
that has been providing investment advisory services since 1995. Anthony M. Reed is the
founder and President and has been in the financial services industry since 1994. MIS provides
discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services (as more fully described
below) to individuals, high net worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates,
corporations, and other types of business entities (“individually managed accounts”). MIS also
manages affiliated private investment funds (“MIS Private Funds”).
MIS is currently registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and is a California
corporation. MIS conducts business primarily in California.
B. Principal Owners
MIS is 100% owned by the Anthony & Angela Reed Family Trust. Mr. Anthony Reed is the co-
trustee and serves as the Firm’s President and Chief Compliance Officer. Please refer to Form
ADV Part 1 for further details.
C. Types of Advisory Services Offered
MIS currently offers different investment strategies that pursue an overall growth investment
objective, mainly utilizing both U.S equity securities and mutual funds. We invest client assets
in other securities, such as exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, pre-IPOs (defined in Item
8 below), and both affiliated and non-affiliated private investment funds if we determine such
investments fit within the objectives of each strategy and our clients. Because the strategies
MIS offers are mainly invested in these types of securities, and due to the volatile nature and/or
the risks associated with such securities, the actual return and value of a client’s account can
fluctuate and at any point in time may be worth more or less than the amount originally invested.
Please refer to Item 8 for further information on our methods of analysis and investment
strategies, including details on the specific risks associated with these strategies.
1. Financial Planning Services
MIS’ financial planning services are designed to provide the client with an analysis of steps the
client may wish to consider within their investment portfolio in order provide for their long-term
needs. Generally, these services are provided as part our investment management services, to
clients requesting such services. MIS no longer offers financial planning as a stand-alone
service.
Taking into account the client’s goals, risk tolerance and long-term objectives, MIS will analyze
and recommend appropriate investment strategies and allocation of assets, if necessary, which
MIS believes are best suited to achieve optimum overall results for the long-term.
2. Investment Management Services
The first stage of MIS’ investment management services typically involves the collection of
information about a client, including a client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment
guidelines, time horizons and other important and necessary information relating to the client’s
assets to be managed by MIS. MIS relies upon the information provided by the client to
customize its investment management services to the client. MIS typically conducts an in-
person or telephone interview with each client in connection with the onset of the client
relationship. It is the client's responsibility to notify MIS at any time there are changes to a
client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment guidelines, time horizons and other
important information.
In connection with providing investment management services to a client, each MIS client enters
into an advisory services agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) whereby MIS is granted (unless
otherwise noted) a limited power-of-attorney with discretionary investment and trading authority
to effect investment transactions involving client’s account, including the full power and
discretion to buy, sell, and trade in securities, investments and strategies provided by MIS. The
discretion granted to MIS will be exercised without prior consultation with client and shall
include, without limitation, the right to decide what investments to make, when to make them
and when to sell them, and authorization to give instructions in furtherance of such trading
authority to brokers, dealers and/or other parties necessary to effect such transactions on behalf
of the client, all in accordance with MIS’ investment strategy. Note that certain private securities
transactions are done on a non-discretionary basis and, in such cases, the client will enter into a
subscription or other investment agreement directly with the issuer of the private securities.
Clients have the ability to leave standing instructions so that MIS will refrain from investing in
particular securities or types of securities or invest in limited amounts of securities; it is the
client's responsibility to notify MIS at any time there are changes to any such standing
instructions. Clients may contact MIS during normal business hours to discuss the client's
account, financial situation, or investment needs.
MIS also provides investment management services to two affiliated private investment funds,
MIS Equity Strategies, LP (“MIS Equity Fund”) and FX/EQ Ventures, LP (“FX/EQ Fund”)
(collectively referred to as the “MIS Private Funds”). Through management of the MIS Private
Funds, MIS provides investment supervisory services including the selection, monitoring and
reporting of equity investments in publicly traded domestic and foreign securities and other
publicly traded business interests, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), put and call options
(exchange listed and unlisted), pre-IPOs (defined in Item 8 below), private placements,
warrants, debt instruments, money market instruments, rights and options on stocks (including
covered call transactions), and derivatives. MIS also advises on investments in securities which
are not actively traded or for which there is no existing public market, including unaffiliated
hedge and other private funds.
As outlined in the FX/EQ Fund’s Governing Documents. MIS has the authority to engage a third-
party sub-adviser to manage the
Fund’s portfolio assets. Please refer to Items 5, 6, 8, and 10
below for further information about the MIS Private Funds.
3. Concierge Services
MIS offers one or more of the following concierge services as mutually agreed upon with the
client and pursuant to the terms outlined within client’s Advisory Agreement: retirement
planning, personal security analysis, trustee services for trusts that hold real estate for clients
and/or business management. MIS provides assistance to the client by coordinating the
agreed-upon concierge activities with the Client and any third parties, specialists, or contractors.
D. Information Relating to All MIS Services
1. Gathering Individual Client Information
Portfolios are designed for each client based on the client's own needs, circumstances,
expectations, and tolerance of risk, as related to MIS. Clients are encouraged to contact MIS
during normal business hours to discuss their financial situation, investment needs or questions
related to their account(s).
Clients will receive from their custodian/brokerage firm timely confirmations and at least
quarterly statements containing a description of all transactions and all account activity. The
client will retain rights of ownership of all securities and funds in the account to the same extent
as if the client held the securities and funds outside the program. In addition to custodial
statements, MIS sends detailed quarterly reports to the client.
Account management is guided by the stated objectives of the client (i.e., maximum capital
appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income). In an effort to achieve the client's
investment goals and objectives, MIS utilizes a mixture of equity, fixed income securities,
including U.S equity securities and mutual funds, ETFs, and options, and as applicable, private
securities (i.e., alternative investments) such as pre-IPOs (defined in Item 8 below) and private
placements with varying risk tolerances to comprise a client's portfolio.
MIS formulates investment proposals for its clients that are consistent with the individual client's
financial and tax status and risk/reward objectives. Planning can be comprehensive, or
segmented and focus on investments, insurance, taxes, and/or estate plans, dependent on
client needs.
There are times when a client decides to use margin in their account, or when a margin account
is necessary, such as when a client invests in options. Please note that using margin is not
suitable for all investors; the use of margin increases leverage (borrowing) in a client’s account
and therefore increases overall risk of loss. Clients should fully understand the risks, conflicts
and additional costs pertaining to margin accounts prior to implementing. Please refer to Item 8
below for further information.
2. MIS Private Fund Information
MIS does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors (“Investors”) in the
MIS Private Funds and has not in the past accepted any sort of investment restrictions for
individual Investors in the MIS Private Funds. However, it should be noted that MIS may in the
future agree to modify certain rights and privileges for certain Investors that are not available to
other Investors (including without limitation, transparency rights, modified fee arrangements,
reporting rights and capacity rights).
MIS manages the MIS Private Funds based on the specific investment objectives, strategies,
and restrictions of the MIS Private Funds, as outlined in the MIS Private Funds’ confidential
private Offering Memoranda, limited partnership agreements, operating agreements and/or
other offering documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Please see Item 8 for
additional information about the MIS Private Funds’ investment strategies. Prospective investors
are provided with a confidential Offering Memorandum and other documentation that detail the
investment objectives, risks, fees, and other important information about the selected MIS
Private Fund. It is important that each potential qualified investor fully read the offering materials
prior to investing for a complete understanding of, among other things, the objectives, risks, and
fees involved when investing in an MIS Private Fund
From time to time, MIS recommends the MIS Private Funds to MIS clients that meet the
regulatory qualifications and MIS believes such investment would be suitable for such clients.
This creates a conflict of interest due to fact that MIS has an incentive since it is paid an
investment management fee by the MIS Private Funds that is based on the amount of investor
capital invested in the Funds, and its affiliates receive performance/incentive fees. Please refer
to Items 5, 6, and 10 below for additional information, including how MIS addresses the conflict.
3. Advisory Agreement
Prior to engaging MIS to provide investment advisory services, each client (including the MIS
Private Funds) will enter into a written agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with MIS, which
governs the investment advice provided by MIS and sets forth the terms and conditions under
which MIS shall render its services. MIS will provide this Disclosure Brochure and one or more
Brochure Supplements to each client for which MIS acts as investment adviser. A copy of this
Disclosure Brochure is also provided to each investor in the MIS Private Funds.
The Advisory Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the
terms of the Advisory Agreement. MIS’s fee shall be prorated through the date of termination
and any remaining balance shall be charged or refunded, as appropriate, in a timely manner.
Neither party is permitted to assign the Advisory Agreement without the consent of the other
party.
