What the house
puts on record.
KYU INVESTMENT LLC is a private investment house — it deals for its own account where it acts as principal, and for clients where it acts under mandate. The distinction is never blurred: principal positions are the firm's risk; client mandates are the firm's fiduciary duty.
The Brecksville office runs five functions: principal dealing in securities, royalties, tax liens and mortgages; customized fee-paid advisory; fund and trust management; fiduciary administration and custody; and market infrastructure — the clearing, transfer and quotation plumbing the markets run on.
The house's discipline is documentary: every position has a file, every mandate has a fiduciary officer, every trust has a separate ledger. Capital without a record is speculation; this firm records its capital.
"An investment house lives or dies on whether its ledger can be trusted — the record is the reputation."
KYU Investment · House ruleCovenants of
the house.
Three commitments entered on every mandate.
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.
