Brochure Summary

Overview

About Ground Swell Capital, LLC Ground Swell Capital, LLC (“Ground Swell”) was founded in 2010 by Scott Howell, Kellen Cooney, and Joey Foxhall. Travis Howell joined Ground Swell as a principal in 2011. It serves as the investment adviser to pooled investment vehicles beneficially owned by sophisticated, high net worth investors (the “Clients”). Ground Swell attempts to achieve superior rates of return by leveraging its particular knowledge of United States equity markets. Ground Swell provides investment management and other services to affiliated private pooled investment vehicles (each a “Fund” or “Partnership” and collectively, the “Funds”) with respect to investments in portfolio companies. Ground Swell provides investment advice consistent with the investment objectives, guidelines, and restrictions set forth in the applicable governing documents and/or private placement memoranda of the Funds. Ground Swell does not serve as the general partner to its Funds. An affiliate of the Firm serves in that capacity and relies on Ground Swell to serve as the investment adviser.

The Adviser, through its clients (i.e. Funds), seeks to maximize returns on investment and minimize risk to capital and volatility of returns through a diverse set of directional and market- neutral strategies implemented within a systematic trading platform. The Firm employs automated (or systematic) and non-automated (or discretionary) multi-strategy trading systems to implement its intraday, medium to high turnover trading strategies and opportunistic targeted directional strategies as applied to U.S., European, and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) equity and option markets. The Firm’s advisory services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to the terms of its formation and offering documents and will be based on the specific investment objectives, strategies, or restrictions described therein. The Adviser does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of the investors in any Fund. Ground Swell does not sponsor or participate in a wrap fee program. As of December 31, 2023, Ground Swell’s discretionary regulatory assets under management amounted to $1,456,875,045.
