Item 4
Services, Fees and Compensation
Grand Central Investment Group, LLC (the “Firm” or “Advisor”) is a limited liability corporation formed
under Florida law. The Advisor became a registered investment advisor in January 2015.1
The Firm was established in July 2014. The Advisor is solely owned by Charles E. Poe, the Advisor’s
Chief Executive Officer, who joined the Firm in November 2014.
Advisory services include separate account portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting
services. This Wrap Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services under its
wrap program. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the
Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure.
Through its wrap program, the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program, the Advisor provides
ongoing investment advice and management for assets in the client’s account. The Advisor provides
advisory services for the following types of investments: equity securities, warrants, options, debt
securities, municipal bonds, real estate investment trusts (“REIT”), mutual funds, closed end funds,
exchange traded products (“ETP”), unit investment trusts, private placements, limited partnerships,
structured products, alternative investments, certificates of deposit (“CD”), and master limited
partnerships (“MLP”). Advisory services are tailored to an individual client’s needs.
As of December 31, 2025, the Advisor managed approximately $165,924,407 in client assets on a
discretionary basis, and $30,314,492 on a non-discretionary basis.
Services
At our initial meeting with a prospective client, we discuss the client’s concerns, which then leads to
what they would like to accomplish, and finally the resources that they have to work with through
current liquid assets along with their ability to save annually.
From there, we begin to help the client better understand asset allocation and the resulting potential
volatility of the financial markets for each of our investment models. This helps us identify where the
client is the most comfortable on a risk scale to help accomplish the client’s financial goals.
Portfolios typically include, but are not limited to, a variety of stock positions, ETPs, mutual funds, and
individual corporate or municipal bonds (based on the Advisor’s assessment of a client’s personal finances
and tax bracket).
1Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
Page 4
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
A client may impose restrictions by indicating any restrictions in the Investment Advisory Agreement. A
client may impose restrictions on specific industries or securities that the client prefers not to invest.
The Advisor will exercise its best efforts to adhere to the client’s investment restrictions. Imposing
restrictions may affect a client’s overall portfolio performance in relation to other portfolios the Advisor
may manage without such restrictions.
Trade-PMR, Inc. (“Custodian”) acts as the custodian for clients’ accounts and provides brokerage and
execution services as the broker-dealer on account transactions and delivers quarterly statements to
clients.
Fees and Compensation
The client pays the Advisor a single wrap fee (“Advisory Fee”) for advisory, brokerage and trade execution
services.
The Advisory Fee is based on the value of assets managed by the Advisor, calculated as a percentage of
assets under management. This fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management fees
rendered by the Advisor, as well as charges for execution and transaction services provided by the
Custodian. The Advisory Fee is negotiable between the client and the Advisor and is set out in the
Investment Advisory Agreement.
Fees may be negotiated on a client-by-client basis depending on the client’s specific financial needs as
well as the size, complexity and nature of the portfolio managed and will be set forth in the Investment
Advisory Agreement. Because the Advisory Fee may be negotiated, not all clients will pay the same fees.
A client may pay higher or lower Advisory Fees depending on considerations such as the size of the client’s
account, the amount of time the client has maintained an account with the Advisor (or its affiliated IAR),
and/or the combined market value of related portfolios. While the Advisor believes that its Advisory
Fees are competitive, clients may find lower or higher fees for comparable services from other sources.
The maximum Advisory Fee schedule is as follows:
Assets Under Management
First $250,000
Next $250,000
Next $500,000
Next $1,000,000
Next $3,000,000
Over $5,000,000
Maximum Annual Fee
2.25%
1.75%
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
.75%
The amount of the Advisory Fee is set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by the client
at the time the relationship is established.
Page 5
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
Advisory Fees are charged quarterly in advance as a percentage of the portfolio value on the last business
day of the previous quarter or the last value provided by the custodian (if not valued quarterly). These
asset-based fees are assessed on all billable assets under management, including securities, cash, and
money market funds. The initial investment advisory fee will be prorated based upon the number of days
from the first day the Client’s assets are transferred to Custodian through the end of the quarter in which
the assets were transferred. Subsequently, investment advisory fees are charged and debited from a
client’s account within the first week of each calendar quarter.
Although the client does not directly pay charges for execution and transactions, clients should be aware
that from the Advisory Fee paid to the Advisor, the Advisor pays the Custodian for its charges
associated with the client’s account. The Advisor retains the remaining portion as compensation for
its advisory services and portfolio management. These transaction charges paid by the Advisor to the
Custodian vary based on the type of transaction. Because the Advisor pays the execution and
transaction charges, clients should understand that the cost of transaction charges is a factor to the
Advisor when making decisions regarding transactions in the client’s account.
The Advisor instructs the Custodian to debit the client’s designated account(s) the amount of the Advisory
Fee. If the client’s account does not maintain a sufficient cash or money market balance to cover the
Advisory Fee or is restricted from automatic debiting of fees, the client may deposit additional funds
(subject to certain restrictions for IRA accounts and Qualified Retirement Plans) or make payment in an
alternative manner acceptable to the Advisor. If such funds are not deposited, certain securities in the
client’s account may be liquidated in an amount sufficient to cover such debits.
A client has the right to terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement for investment advisory services
without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into an Investment Advisory Agreement.
Thereafter, the Investment Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s
verbal or written notice. The Advisor may cease providing investment advisory services upon its written
notice of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement to the client or upon the occurrence
of certain events as described in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Upon the effective date of termination, the client will be refunded fees on a prorated share based on
the remaining days of the quarter that have been prepaid.
After the termination date, the Advisor has no responsibility to provide ongoing investment advice to
the client.
Other Types of Fees and Expenses
In addition to the Advisory Fee, which includes the Custodian’s execution and transaction costs, the
Custodian may charge additional costs directly to the client. The Custodian notifies clients of these
charges at account opening and makes available a list of these charges directly to the client.
Page 6
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
The Advisor may assume the cost of expenses incurred from engaging an outside tax preparation
service on behalf of the client. This service is negotiable and will be set out in the Investment Advisory
Agreement. The Advisor does not pay for tax preparation services for all clients.
Fees Charged by Third Parties
There are other fees and charges that are imposed by parties other than the Advisor (third parties) that
apply to investments in Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program accounts.
If a client’s assets are invested in mutual funds, ETPs, or other pooled investment products, the client
should be aware that there will be two layers of fees and expenses for those assets. The client will
pay an investment management fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the
fund. In the case of mutual funds that are fund-of-funds, there could be an additional layer of fees,
including performance fees that vary depending on the performance of the fund. The client will also pay
the Advisor the Advisory Fee with respect to those assets. Most of the mutual funds available
to the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program can be purchased directly. Therefore, a client
could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the advisory services of the Advisor and
by making their own decisions regarding the investment.
If a client transfers a previously purchased mutual fund into a Grand Central Investment Group Wrap
Program account, and there is an applicable contingent deferred sales charge on the fund, the client will
pay that charge when the mutual fund is sold. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the policy
can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits or tax
harvesting).
Although the Custodian makes available no-load and load-waived mutual funds to Grand Central
Investment Group Wrap Program accounts, the Custodian receives asset-based sales charges or service
fees (e.g., 12b-1 fees) from certain mutual funds. The Custodian retains these fees and they are not
shared with the Advisor.
If a client holds a REIT as part of a Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account, there are
dealer management fees and other organizational, offering and pricing expenses imposed by the REIT. If
a client holds a UIT in the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account, UIT sponsors
charge creation and development fees or similar fees. Further information regarding fees assessed by a
product sponsor is available in the appropriate prospectus or offering document, which is available
upon request from the Advisor or from the product sponsor directly.
Important Things to Consider About Fees on a Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program Account
The Advisory Fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment advisory services, which includes the cost of the
execution of transactions and other administrative and custodial services. The Advisory Fee may cost
the client more than purchasing the services separately, for example, paying an advisory fee plus
commissions for each transaction in the account. In as much as the Advisor pays the Custodian the
transaction and execution costs associated with client accounts, this may create a disincentive for
the Advisor to trade securities in accounts.
Page 7
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
Factors that bear upon the cost of the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account in
relation to the cost of the same services purchased separately include the:
type and size of the account;
•
• historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account; and
• number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client.
The Advisor receives compensation as a result of the client’s participation in the program, which may
be more than what the client would pay to another investment advisory firm.
The Advisor may make amendments to the fee schedule, including negotiated fees, at any time with at
least 30 days written notice to the client.
Item 5
Account Requirements and Types of Clients
There is no minimum investment; however, the Advisor charges a minimum investment advisory fee of
$1,500 annually. If the account value falls below the minimum investment or is waived, the client’s
account will be subject to the minimum annual account fee, which will result in a higher percentage fee
than set forth in the advisory fee schedule in Item 4 of this Wrap Brochure.
The Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account is available for individuals, high net worth
individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations or other
businesses.
Item 6
Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
The Advisor provides the client investment advice and management in the Grand Central Investment
Group Wrap Program account. The Advisor does not select outside portfolio managers to manage the
Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program.
The Custodian calculates the performance for the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program
account and delivers to clients’ individual annual performance reports in addition to quarterly account
statements. The Custodian’s performance reports and statements are intended to inform clients as to
how their investments have performed over a period of time, both on an absolute basis and compared
to leading investment indices. The Advisor periodically reviews the Custodian’s performance reports for
accuracy.
The Advisor offers other types of advisory programs, including portfolio management, financial planning,
and consulting advisory services. The Advisor offers portfolio management advisory services through its
Separately Managed Account program, which is similar to the services it provides in the Grand
Central Investment Group Wrap Program in that the Advisor provides the investment advice and
portfolio management to the client. However, under the Separately Managed Account program, the
client pays transaction charges directly to the broker-dealer custodian rather than the
Advisor. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the
Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure.
Page 8
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
The Advisor has an incentive to recommend that a client use it, rather than another portfolio manager
because it will retain the Advisory Fee, therefore, it may receive higher compensation than if it
recommended a non-affiliated portfolio manager. The Advisor manages this conflict by providing
investment advisory services that are in its clients’ best interests.
Investment Discretion
The Advisor provides advisory services on a discretionary basis for the purchase and sale of securities in
the Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account. The client authorizes the Advisor to have
discretion through the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Generally, the Advisor is a “top-down manager” and will first determine the U.S. and Global
asset allocation between stocks, bonds, and cash. The Advisor uses a wide variety of investment
research and industry publications to assist in its analysis, which may include, but is not limited to:
• The Aden Forecast
• Barron’s
• Briefing.com
• Dorsey Wright
• Elliott Wave
• Fleckenstein Capital
• The Forest for the Trees
• High Tech Strategist
•
Investech
• MarketSmith
• Momentum Structural Analysis
(MSA)
Jeff Cooper’s Hit & Run Trading
• MoneyGuide Pro
•
• Trading with Cody
• Wall Street Journal
• Valueline Pro

ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
Once the Advisor determines these allocations, we place the client’s portfolio a foundation of dividend
paying equities (stocks) separated into two groups. One portion contains a basket of stocks that the
Advisor expects to continue to pay above-average dividends and the other portion is comprised of a wide
selection of the stock from companies that are historically increasing their dividend pay outs at a
faster rate than an average sample of companies. The Advisor uses data provided by Standard &
Poor’s to analyze potential investments.
History shows that annual paid dividends remain a significant part of the total returns over decades for
investing in the equity markets, and the Advisor’s investment analysis is based on its belief that this
trend will continue. The Advisor follows the investment theory of James P. O’Shaughnessy, who over
many years has done extensive quantitative analysis dating back to the 1950’s. The Advisor believes
that his findings are factual and unbiased on what investing strategies actually have worked in the
equity markets over the past five decades and are helpful in our stock allocations.3
The Advisor’s initial method of analysis is fundamental analysis and includes a number of factors based
on Mr. O’Shaughnessy findings of potential indicators of significantly enhanced potential returns.
These include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
financial strength ratios;
• price to earnings ratios;
• price to sales ratios;
• price to cash flow rates;
• dividend growth history;
• dividend yields; and
• growth rate to price earnings ratios.
On the fundamental front, the Advisor also uses a service that screens for stocks that are owned by more
than one of a list of fifteen value managers (hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers) that
historically have above-average track records and low turnover of stocks in their funds’ portfolios. We
think it makes sense to not always have to reinvent the wheel and to follow the smart money when
looking for stock ideas.
The Advisor also believes that while fundamental analysis is important, the Advisor should not ignore
technical analysis both on individual stock positions, sectors and the various domestic and international
indexes to help determine the overall health of the financial markets.
The Advisor believes there is a seasonal pattern in the equity markets which makes the Advisor more
wary from May through October because market drawdowns and corrections tend to occur during this
timeframe. In addition, the Advisor tends to use U.S. and global index-based investments to populate this
portion of clients’ portfolios on an annual basis.
The Advisor tends to be a stock picker, but has come to appreciate the use of fixed income to help
cushion and mitigate the volatility inherit in the financial markets.
The Advisor may also use alternative investments in a client’s portfolio allocation to enhance
Page 10
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
diversification. This includes investing in individual stocks, ETPs, closed end funds or institutional mutual
funds to gain exposure to companies that invest in real assets like precious metals, natural resources,
and real estate. We may also include institutional mutual funds or closed end funds that use hedge fund
strategies like long-short equity, long-short debt, covered call strategies, and macro strategies.
The Advisor prefers to invest in companies that it believes can grow top line revenue, are dominant
in their field, have strong cash flows and balance sheets, and create high barriers to their competitors for
entry. The Advisor considers these type of companies ‘growth stocks’ and, where appropriate, looks to
add a portion of these companies to each client’s portfolio to round out its custom allocations.
Because investment styles move in and out of favor over time, we strive to maintain a flexible approach
that uses multiple strategies. We like the idea of having more than one horse pulling our investment
portfolio wagon.
Clients are advised and should understand that:
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
•
• Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
• Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
• Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment related risks may cause losses in their
portfolio.
• Risk parameters established for their portfolio are guidelines only – the selected risk parameters
may be exceeded and index comparisons may outperform their portfolio.
• Portfolio values are subject to a variety of factors, such as liquidity and volatility of the
securities markets.
• There may be a higher level of risk with leveraged and inverse ETPs because, to accomplish their
objectives, they may pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of swaps,
futures contracts, and other derivative instruments in order to provide a return that is a
multiple of an underlying index or benchmark’s return. Most leveraged and inverse ETFs “reset”
daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Their
performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance
(or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same
period of time. This effect can be magnified in volatile markets.
• Risks related to alternative investments may be greater than those associated with
traditional investments including limited liquidity, tax considerations, potentially speculative
investment strategies, illiquidity, and potential for substantial losses including entire investment.
Side-By-Side Management
Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-
based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees.
3 Mr. O’Shaughnessy is not affiliated with the Advisor.
Page 11
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
The Advisor does not participate in side-by-side management.
Voting Client Securities
The Advisor does not vote proxies on behalf of client owned securities. A client maintains exclusive
responsibility for: (i) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities
they beneficially own will be voted, and (ii) making all elections relative to mergers, acquisitions, tender
offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other types of events pertaining to the client’s investments.
The Advisor does not render advice to or take any actions on behalf of clients with respect to any legal
proceedings, including bankruptcies, and shareholder litigation, to which any securities or other
investments held in client accounts, or the issuers thereof, become subject, and does not initiate or
pursue legal proceedings, including without limitation shareholder litigation, on behalf of clients with
respect to transactions, securities or other investments held in client accounts. The right to take any
actions with respect to legal proceedings, including shareholder litigation, with respect to transactions,
securities or other investments held in a client account is expressly reserved to the client.
Item 7
Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
The Advisor obtains the client’s financial information, risk tolerance and investment objectives to
determine the investments in the client’s Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program account. The
Advisor will contact the client periodically to review the client’s Grand Central Investment Group Wrap
Program account and determine whether there have been any changes to the client’s situation. Client
should contact the Advisor in the interim if they have had any changes to their situation.
Item 8
Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
No restrictions are placed on a client’s ability to contact and consult with the Advisor regarding the
Grand Central Investment Group Wrap Program.
Item 9
Additional Information
Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose specific information related to certain legal or
regulatory events that may be material to choosing an advisor. The Advisor has not been the subject of
any material legal or disciplinary proceedings. Please see Form ADV Part 2B regarding disciplinary events
involving the Advisor’s Covered Persons.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
None.
Page 12
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
The Advisor has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) pursuant to industry standards. The Code is predicated
upon serving the best interest of our clients. All persons covered under the Code (“Covered Persons”)
must at all times reflect the professional standards expected of those engaged in the investment advisory
business and shall act within the spirit and the letter of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations
pertaining to investment advisors and the general conduct of business. These standards require all
personnel to be judicious, accurate, objective, and reasonable in dealing with both clients and other
parties so that their personal integrity is unquestionable.
The Code is certified annually with Covered Persons of the Firm. For a copy of the Code, a written request
should be sent to Grand Central Investment Group, LLC, Attention: T. Gregory Reymann II, Chief
Compliance Officer, 780 94th Avenue N., Suite 110, St. Petersburg, FL 33702.
On occasion, the Advisor may buy or sell securities that it recommends to clients or may recommend
securities transactions in which the Advisor or its Covered Persons has some financial interest. This
practice would create a conflict of interest if the transactions were structured to trade on the market
causing an impact on recommendations made to the Advisor’s clients. The Chief Financial Officer reviews
Covered Persons’ personal transactions quarterly. The Code requires pre-approval of personal
transactions in some cases. The Advisor believes that it has adopted sufficient controls so that personal
transactions are consistent with advice given to clients.
Review of Accounts
The client’s IAR reviews client account activity no less than quarterly. The level of review is determined
by the complexity of the portfolio at the discretion of the Advisor’s Chief Compliance Officer. Other
factors that may trigger review are changes in economic or market conditions, and individual client
situations.
The Custodian will deliver account statements at least quarterly that include a summary of the client’s
account activity. In addition, the written portfolio performance summaries that provide historical
information regarding a client’s investments are provided annually or upon client request.
Performance summaries should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance.
The value of securities held in a client’s portfolio will be valued by the custodian, broker-dealer, or other
investment vendor. The values of some investments, such as alternative investments or private
placements, are provided by the investment’s manager, which may be monthly, quarterly, but not less
than annually; often, these values are estimates made by the alternative investment’s manager and may
not be the liquidation value.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
The Advisor may enter into solicitation arrangements with third parties (“Promoters”) to offer the
Advisor’s advisory services or programs. The Advisor enters into agreements with Promoters pursuant to
Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Advisor will compensate the Promoter directly
if a client enters into a relationship with the Advisor.
Page 13
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
This compensation is ongoing and made up of a portion of the investment advisory fee the Advisor
charges the client, which may be up to 25% of the Advisory Fee. A Promoter will provide the client with
a statement disclosing the terms of the Promoter’s arrangement with the Advisor.
The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware,
however, that the receipt of economic benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself
creates a potential conflict of interest.
Research & Other Soft Dollar Benefits
By recommending Trade-PMR, Inc. for custodial and brokerage services, the Advisor receives
soft-dollar benefits which may include access to Trade-PMR, Inc.’s products and services that assist the
Advisor in managing and administering clients’ accounts including software and other technology that:
provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
provide research, pricing and other market data;
facilitate payment of the Advisor’s fees from its clients’ accounts; and
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
In evaluating whether to recommend that clients’ custody their assets at Trade-PMR, Inc., the Advisor
takes into account the availability of some of the foregoing products, services, and other arrangements
as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost, or quality of custody and
brokerage services provided by the client’s broker-dealer, which may create a potential conflict of
interest.
The Advisor addresses this conflict by conducting quarterly reviews of a sampling of execution quality
and annual reviews of commission rates, trade error rates, quality of client reporting, block
trading, reputation, and financial strength of the broker-dealer. The quarterly and annual reviews
include a comparison to other industry participants offering the same or similar services.
Custody
The Advisor has custody of clients’ funds to the extent that it has the ability to deduct fees from clients’
accounts. The custodian will send account statements to clients at least quarterly. Neither the Advisor
nor its associated persons will accept delivery of a client’s securities or funds in the name of the Advisor
or its associated person.
Executing broker-dealers, custodians, or other investment vendors provide account statements and
confirmations. The Advisor urges clients to compare statements received from custodians with any
reports the Advisor may provide. If there are any differences, please contact the Advisor immediately for
resolution.
Page 14
ADV 2A APP1-04/2026
Client assets will be maintained by an unaffiliated, qualified custodian, such as a bank, broker/dealer
(e.g., Trade-PMR, Inc.), mutual fund company or transfer agent. Client assets are not held by the Advisor
or any associated person of the Advisor. Trade-PMR, Inc. acts as an introducing broker clearing on a fully
disclosed basis through Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC for the Advisor’s clients.
Financial Information
The Advisor has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to its clients, nor has it been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
