Income Growth Advisors, LLC

Income Growth Advisors, LLC is an independent, single-advisor registered investment adviser that provides ongoing portfolio management, separately managed accounts (SMAs), financial planning, and sub-advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, retirement plans, hedge funds, and other advisers. The firm manages a small number of client relationships (16 clients with roughly $4.44 million in reported assets) and follows typical adviser practices such as creating Investment Policy Statements and offering discretionary portfolio management.

The firm’s investment process blends macroeconomic, fundamental, technical, and quantitative analysis and supports customized portfolios including MLP-focused income strategies and concentrated equity positions. It also offers a bespoke alternative SMA called BATAIS — a concentrated, high-risk strategy built around options and a primary gold-mining company — structured to let qualified investors calibrate option exposure and other risk parameters within a separately managed account.

What is distinctive about the firm is the explicit focus on a single-company gold-mining opportunity developed from the advisor’s multi-year research and on-site due diligence, combined with side-by-side management and personal holdings in the target issuer (a conflict the brochure discloses). The firm also plans to tax-efficiently convert realized gains from that high-return strategy into income-producing, tax-advantaged portfolios (such as MLPs), and it accepts performance-based arrangements for that alternative SMA — features that are uncommon for a small, solo-practitioner independent adviser.
