BIRINYI ASSOCIATES INC

Birinyi provides investment advisory services to unaffiliated investors through separate accounts. These accounts are contractual arrangements where Birinyi monitors the client's portfolio and directs a custodian to purchase or sell securities on behalf of the client. Investment guidelines and restrictions can be established by investors, and each account may vary in concentration and turnover based on the owner's situation and preferences. The firm generally requires a prospective client interested in opening and maintaining a separate account to grant the firm discretionary investment advisory authority over at least $2,000,000 of the client’s assets, although exceptions are made in certain circumstances. Birinyi also provides impersonalized investment advice through newsletters and research services to subscribers who can pay the subscription costs.

The investment strategy aims to achieve high returns with limited correlation to equity or fixed income markets. This is done by investing in securities where the stock price is believed to inaccurately reflect the real value. The primary method involves taking long positions in publicly-traded U.S. equity securities across the capitalization spectrum, with occasional investments in non-U.S. equity securities. The investment process combines top-down and bottom-up analysis to determine overall exposure, sector bias, and investment ideas. It integrates money flow, technical, and fundamental analysis to identify attractive investment opportunities without preconceived sector or market capitalization bias. The process starts with developing a macro view of the market environment and assessing investor sentiment, using historical market information and investment experience to shape portfolio exposures and holding periods.
