Business Description
CASTELLAN is a limited liability company formed in September 2018 under Delaware law, domiciled in Kentucky, and registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. It is principally owned by two Grantor Trusts, CASTELLAN WHY Trust and CASTELLAN Endeavor Trust, with 100% of trust income distributed to charitable organizations. CASTELLAN offers services for ultra-high net worth families with multi-generational wealth, providing accountable stewardship of their resources to simplify their lives and improve their returns.
CASTELLAN's investment advisory services involve managing client portfolios through investment management agreements. This includes origination, acquisition, asset management, and administrative services, adhering to governing documents like prospectuses and partnership agreements. Services consist of managing client investments, including sourcing, selecting, and monitoring investments, and executing transactions on their behalf.
Investment Strategy
CASTELLAN employs both top-down and bottom-up (fundamental) approaches to investment analysis, adapting their suitability to the investment objective. Top-down approaches analyze macroeconomic trends, while fundamental analysis evaluates a business's financial condition and competitive positioning, using a value-based approach inspired by Benjamin Graham. Prior to implementation, investment strategies are typically back-tested across a large sample size, but past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
CASTELLAN utilizes several specific investment strategies, including VolPar™, a passive asset allocation strategy inspired by risk parity, which diversifies across equities, fixed income, and commodities, rebalancing quarterly to deliver higher geometric returns. Another strategy, Targeted Equity, is a value momentum strategy that selects equities based on momentum, quality, value factors, and positive earnings revisions, followed by a qualitative review. The strategy monitors buy and sell signals daily.
