Building Equities, LLC

Building Equities LLC provides ongoing portfolio management to individual clients and prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each account. The firm advises primarily on mutual funds, equities, fixed income and exchange-traded funds (including precious-metal ETFs) and delivers regular account monitoring with custodial quarterly reporting.

The adviser combines fundamental analysis with charting (technical) analysis and implements both long-term and short-term trading strategies, at times using margin and options strategies (including covered and uncovered positions and spreads). Accounts may be managed on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, and the firm requires clients to use a specified custodian—Charles Schwab Advisor Services—which the brochure describes as providing custody, execution and access to research/soft‑dollar benefits.

Several operational and supervisory features distinguish the firm: it does not aggregate trades across client accounts, it disallows client‑imposed investment restrictions based on values or beliefs, and the principal maintains multiple outside business activities (including selling insurance and an affiliation with another advisory firm), which are disclosed as potential conflicts. For a small, solo adviser managing modest assets, the use of leverage and higher‑risk instruments such as margin and uncovered options, together with reliance on custodian‑provided research benefits, are notable choices that may affect execution, costs and conflicts to consider.
