Straight Line Investment Group, Llc

Straight Line Investment Group, LLC is an independent, single‑advisor registered investment adviser managing about $49.7 million for roughly 107 individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering discretionary portfolio management. The firm implements proprietary investment model(s) across common instruments—mutual funds, equities, ETFs, bonds, and REITs—and may use alternatives such as hedge funds, private placements, annuities, and precious metal ETFs when applicable.

Its investment process combines fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and typically employs a long‑term trading approach while retaining the ability to use short‑term trades and short sales; the adviser exercises discretionary authority on client accounts and conducts periodic (at least quarterly) reviews. Clients are required to use the firm’s chosen custodian and receive monthly custodian statements, and the firm applies the same model framework to clients while tailoring implementation to individual circumstances and client‑imposed restrictions.

A notable distinction is a disclosed regulatory matter: in 2018 the firm entered an Agreement and Order with a state securities regulator related to a failure to disclose that a former owner had been barred by FINRA, after which the firm updated its Form ADV and settled an administrative penalty. Other atypical features for a solo independent RIA include managing all assets internally without third‑party sub‑advisers, requiring a specific custodian for execution, limited custody via fee deduction, no minimum account size, and a proxy‑voting process that references an investment committee despite operating with one advisory professional.
