The house,
on record.
KYU INVESTMENT LLC is an investment and securities firm headquartered in Brecksville, Ohio — organized to deal as principal, advise under fee, and administer under trust.
Why this
house.
KYU INVESTMENT LLC was organized around a premise every counterparty eventually asks: whose money is on the line? The firm's answer is always written down — when it acts as principal, the risk is its own; when it acts under mandate, the fiduciary duty is the client's. The two are never confused and never commingled.
The house runs five functions: principal dealing in securities, mineral and oil royalties, tax liens and mortgages; customized, client-paid financial planning and investment advice; fund and trust management; fiduciary administration and securities custody; and market infrastructure — clearing, transfer and quotation services.
The Brecksville office is the house's office of record. Mandates, trust ledgers, custodial files and dealing records live under one roof — the documentation a counterparty or beneficiary can inspect, not just trust.
"Principal and fiduciary are separate books — a house that blurs them eventually fails both."

the house.
Six commitments that apply to every account on the books.
Written mandate
Every managed fund, trust or account runs under a signed mandate — objective, restrictions, fees and reporting terms on file before the first transaction.
Separate ledgers
Principal positions and client mandates are booked separately — the firm's own account never commingles with fiduciary accounts.
Named fiduciary
Every trust, escrow and mandate has a named officer responsible for the file — accountability is a person, not a department.
Fee transparency
Advisory work is client-paid and customized — the fee basis is stated in the advisory agreement, not embedded in the product.
Custody verified
Assets held in custody are recorded in designated accounts and reconciled to statement — the custodial file is auditable, not asserted.
Records retained
Dealing records, mandates and trust files are maintained to statutory retention — producible for beneficiaries, counterparties and regulators.
