Services Provided:
Global View Investment Advisors, LLC (“Adviser”, “Advisor” or “We”) offers wealth
management and consultation services to various categories of institutional and individual clients.
Our service is implemented on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis, managed by Global
View and sub-advisers we choose, and through separate investments in equities, mutual funds,
bonds, cash equivalents, and other instruments. Adviser’s services may include, but are not
limited to, matters such as preparing investment policy statements, asset allocation review, mutual
fund search and selection, performance review and analysis, asset management services,
retirement plan consulting services, and other general economic and financial topics. Account
supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, etc.), and all managed accounts will be maintained with an independent custodian.
Client investment objectives are identified by assessing the client's risk tolerance based upon their
age, income, education, need for cash flows, investment goals, and emotional tolerance for
volatility.The information provided by the client will be collected during client meetings,
interviews, and/or questionnaires. After analyzing a client’s financial situation, strategies are
developed and implemented through an optimal combination of mutual funds or other investment
instruments (to include stocks, short sales of stock, and bonds). Capital market conditions and
client circumstances are monitored, and portfolio adjustments are made, as appropriate, to reflect
significant changes in any or all of the above variables.
In the event third party money managers are utilized, Adviser will select one or more registered
investment advisors with varying styles and in turn recommend to clients a particular investment
advisor based on the client's individual needs and objectives. Third party money managers
recommended to clients will have full investment discretion, and trading authority, and shall have
sole responsibility for the implementation of the investment program with respect to the client’s
account for which investment discretion has been delegated by the client and accepted by the
institutional money managers. We will not place orders for transactions in the client’s account or
otherwise exercise trading authority over the account at any time when the account is being
managed by an investment manager. Adviser will monitor the performance of the third-party
money manager and may recommend the re-allocation of client assets among other managers.
Adviser will retain the discretion to hire and fire the investment manager if deemed appropriate to
do so.
The principal owners of Global View, (defined as 25% ownership or more) are Joe E. Hines and
Adam Wiles.
Global View Investment Advisors, LLC has operated independently since January 1, 2008.
4 | P a g e
Total Assets Managed on December 31, 2025: $553,787,104
**Note: $1,801,691 are managed on a Non-Discretionary Basis
(Asset total will vary as Market conditions change and as Global View accepts new clients.)
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
For wealth management services, compensation is derived as fee income based upon the assets
under management, as an agreed to percentage, not to exceed 2.0%. The compensation method is
explained and agreed upon with the clients in advance of any services being rendered. The
amount of the fee is negotiated on a case-by-case basis with the client and is determined based
upon several factors including, among other things, the size and type of the account, the relative
complexity of servicing the account, and the level of complexity of the financial planning. In
some cases, negotiation of fees may result in different fees being charged for similar services.
Fees for clients are billed quarterly in advance of one fourth of the annual rate based on a
percentage of the client's assets under management on the last business day of the preceding
calendar quarter. Any contributions and/or withdrawals made during a calendar quarter may
cause an adjustment to the advisory fee. Fees will generally be deducted directly from the client's
brokerage account pursuant to a written agreement. Investment advisory services begin with the
effective date of the Agreement, which is the date the client signs the Investment Advisory
Agreement. For that calendar quarter, fees will be adjusted pro rata based upon the number of
calendar days in the calendar quarter that the Agreement was effective.
The client may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon 30 day written notice. Termination
of the Agreement will become effective on the last day of the calendar month in which the
termination notice was received. Upon termination, the fees charged for advisory services will be
pro-rated and a refund for any unearned fees will be issued. The client is responsible for paying
for services rendered until the termination of the agreement. The client can cancel the Agreement
without penalty within the first five days after the signing of the Agreement.
Clients should be aware of their responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation
submitted to the custodian by Adviser, as the custodian will not determine whether the fee has
been properly calculated. Adviser will not be compensated on the basis of a share of capital gains
upon or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of the client. Advisory fees
charged by the Adviser are separate and distinct from fees and expenses charged by mutual funds,
which may be recommended to clients. A description of these fees and expenses are available in
each fund's prospectus.
These fees are for advisory services only and do not include other costs that the client may incur
including but not limited to custodian transaction fees, commission, or other management fees
charged by non-affiliated third parties including investment managers (sub-advisors) that are
recommended to clients. (Please refer to Item 12: Brokerage Practices)
5 | P a g e
Item 6: Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side management
Global View Investment Advisors does NOT charge any client a performance-based fee,
defined as a share of the gains earned in the client portfolio, over and above the asset-
based fee described in Item 5 about Fees.
Thus, Global View does NOT have any client situations that fall under the Side-by-Side
management rule.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Global View serves the asset management needs of:
Individuals with Retirement Accounts
Individuals with Taxable Investment accounts
Individuals with Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
Families with investment accounts
Business retirement plans
Business investment accounts
Minimum Requirements for opening and maintaining an account with Global View:
Global View does not have a firm rule for minimum account size. Each client is unique,
and we accept new accounts when the arrangement is beneficial for both the client and
Global View.
We reserve the right to decline a new account of any size, if we feel the business
arrangement will not be mutually beneficial. We will communicate our decision in a
forthright manner.
6 | P a g e
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of
Loss
Investing in securities always involves the risk of loss. Each client that chooses to hire Global
View to invest in securities on their behalf must be prepared to bear a loss of investment capital.
Global View uses fundamental analysis, considers cyclical trends, and also considers technical
elements. The main sources of information used are:
Purchased research including YCharts and Inovestor
Research prepared by others
Information shared by selected investment managers (Example: First Eagle Conference
Call)
Annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the SEC
Company press releases
Our strategy and belief system are predicated on employing an investment strategy that is
commonly referred to as Margin of Safety (MOS) investing. We seek to match a version of a
MOS portfolio with the specific volatility and return needs of each client. Typically, our
investments are Long Term purchases (held at least a year). However, we reserve the right to
engage in short term transactions, short sales, and margin transactions where applicable.
Global View Investment Advisors employs risk analysis techniques intended to identify downside
volatility based on a number of factors including: the stated investment objective of the
investment manager or mutual fund, the historical returns of the investment manager or mutual
fund expressed in terms of downside risk (a term developed by Dr. Frank Sortino), the worst
rolling period returns of the investment manager or mutual fund; historical correlations of the
investment manager or mutual fund with other asset classes or investment managers or mutual
funds; current valuations of asset classes in relation to historical valuations; macroeconomic
analysis indicating the likelihood of recession.
Global View Investment Advisors uses probability analysis to model portfolios based on
historical monthly risk and performance data of investment managers and mutual funds against
target returns clients must or choose to seek, based on their target return and the expected time
horizon the client will be invested.
9. Disciplinary Information
No person on the Global View team has been subject to Disciplinary Actions.
7 | P a g e
10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
No person on the Global View team has any other Financial Industry activities or affiliations.
Our only financial activity is our duty to the Global View RIA and its clients.
11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions, and Personal Trading
Global View has created and adopted a formal Code of Ethics document. Each employee is
obliged to adhere to the Ethical Standards outlined in the Code of Ethics. A copy will be delivered
to clients, or prospective clients upon request.
In summary, our Code of Ethics centers on the duty to act as a fiduciary for every advisory client.
We expect each member of the Global View team to choose actions that always put the client’s
interests first. If relationships or situations arise that create a conflict of interest, then it must be
disclosed openly and candidly. We believe that if we faithfully align our efforts with each
client’s best interest, these will be minimal. (Please see comments about Solicitor Referral
arrangements and the former Advisor Direct program through TD Ameritrade as an example of a
conflict of interest disclosure.)
As a matter of policy and practice, we do not recommend that clients buy or sell any security that
a Global View staff member or related party maintains a material financial interest.
Adviser, its principals, officers, and employees may purchase for their personal accounts the same
securities that may be recommended to clients. Adviser has adopted a written Code of Ethics
designed to address and avoid potential conflicts of interest as required under Rule 204A-1 of the
Advisers Act.
This Rule requires Adviser to adopt a Code that sets forth a standard of business conduct and
compliance with federal securities laws by all our employees. Our Code contains policies and
procedures that ensure that all personal securities trading by our employees are conducted in such
a manner as to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of an individual’s
position of trust and responsibility. We prohibit personal trading on certain securities or
instruments; we require pre-clearance before purchasing an IPO or a new issue private placement;
we require periodic reporting of employees’ personal securities transactions and holdings; and we
require prompt internal reporting of Code violations.
12. Brokerage Practices
Absent an existing brokerage relationship, the Adviser will assist the client with developing a
relationship with brokers that the Adviser has a relationship with which include: the Institutional
Division of Charles Schwab & Co (“Schwab”) and Axos Advisor Services (“Axos”).
8 | P a g e
As part of the institutional programs offered by Schwab and Axos, the Adviser receives benefits
that it would not receive if it did not provide investment advice to clients. While there is no direct
affiliation or fee sharing arrangement between Schwab and Axos, and the Adviser, economic
benefits are received by the Adviser which would not be received if the Adviser did not have an
established relationship with these companies. These benefits may include: a dedicated trading
desk that services the Adviser’s clients, a dedicated service group and an account services
manager dedicated to the Adviser’s accounts, access to a real time order matching system, ability
to block client trades, electronic download of trades, portfolio management software, access to an
electronic interface, duplicate and batched client statements, confirmations and year-end
summaries, the ability to have advisory fees directly debited from client accounts (in accordance
with federal and state requirements), access to mutual funds, ability to have loads waived for the
Adviser 's clients who invest in certain loaded funds when certain conditions are met and
maintained and the ability to have custody fees waived.
Our general guiding principle is to trade through broker-dealers who offer the best overall pricing
and execution under particular circumstances. With respect to execution, we consider a number
of factors, including the actual handling of the order, the ability of the broker-dealer to settle the
trade promptly and accurately, the financial standing of the broker-dealer, the ability of the
broker-dealer to position stock to facilitate execution, our past experience with similar trades, and
other factors which may be unique to a particular order. Based on these judgmental factors, we
may trade through broker-dealers that charge fees that are higher than the lowest available fees.
In addition, broker-dealer fees may vary and be greater than those typical for similar investments
if we determine that the research, execution and other services rendered by a particular broker
merit greater than typical fees. Also, in certain instances we may execute over the counter
securities transactions on an agency basis, which may result in advisory clients incurring two
transaction costs for a single trade: a commission paid to the executing broker-dealer plus the
market makers mark-up or mark-down.
We may aggregate numerous clients’ or funds’ purchases or sales as a single transaction.
Transactions are usually aggregated to seek a lower commission, lower costs, or a more
advantageous net price. The benefits, if any, obtained as a result of such aggregation, are
generally allocated pro-rata among the accounts of the clients or the funds which participated in
the aggregated transaction.
The sub-advisers we choose may have different principles or policies with respect to execution of
trades and selection of brokers. A sub-adviser’s policies and procedures in this area are among
the factors that we will consider in choosing a sub-adviser.
9 | P a g e
Clients that restrict us to using a particular broker/dealer (or direct us to use a particular
broker/dealer) for executing their transactions generally will be unable to participate in aggregated
orders and will be precluded from receiving the benefits, if any, of an aggregation which other
clients may receive. In addition, those clients, that direct brokerage transactions to a particular
broker/dealer, may be disadvantaged because they may not obtain allocations of new issues of
securities purchased by us through other brokers/dealers. We will generally execute aggregated
orders for non-directed clients before we execute orders for clients that direct brokerage. We may
also execute trades for non-directed clients through the same broker/dealer to which other clients’
direct brokerage.
There may be conflicts of interest over time devoted to managing any one account and the
allocation of investment opportunities among all accounts managed by us. We will attempt to
resolve all such conflicts in a manner that is generally fair for all clients.
We are not obligated to acquire for any account any security that we or our officers, partners,
members or employees may acquire for their own accounts or for the account of any other client,
if in our absolute discretion it is not practical or desirable to acquire a position in such security.
The Adviser will make recommendations based on the needs of the client and the services
provided by the broker/custodian such as ability to execute trades, margin rates, on-line access to
accounts, transaction charges, consolidated reporting, duplicate monthly statements, access to
mutual funds, including lower sales charges than for direct purchases and lower minimum
purchase amounts.
In past years, Advisor participated in TD Ameritrade’s institutional customer program. While
Advisor no longer participates and TD Ameritrade has been acquired by Schwab, Advisor still
manages client accounts that were referred through this program. Consequently, Advisor pays
Schwab an on-going fee for each existing client. This fee is a percentage (not to exceed 25%) of
the advisory fee that the client pays to Advisor (“Solicitation Fee”). Advisor does not charge
clients referred through AdvisorDirect any fees or costs higher than its standard fee schedule
offered to its clients or otherwise pass Solicitation Fees paid to Schwab to its clients. Advisor’s
past participation in AdvisorDirect does not diminish its duty to seek best execution of trades for
client accounts.
13. Review of Accounts
Generally, client accounts are reviewed periodically by the investment adviser representative
responsible for the client’s account, whereas, investments are monitored continuously. These
reviews are designed to monitor and analyze client transactions, positions, and investment levels.
10 | P a g e
Attention is given to changes in company fundamentals, industry outlook, market outlook and
price levels. Adviser will annually contact clients to determine whether any changes have
occurred with respect to client’s financial situation or investment objectives.
In addition to statements from custodians, which are normally issued monthly, Global View will
put together performance reports on an as required or requested basis. These reports will include
performance reporting versus a benchmark, a list of accounts, holdings, and some investment
detail.
14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Part 2
Client Referrals. If an adviser uses client brokerage to compensate or otherwise reward brokers
for client referrals, it also must disclose this practice, the conflicts of interest it creates, and any
procedures the adviser used to direct client brokerage to referring brokers during the last fiscal
year (i.e., the system of controls used by the adviser when allocating brokerage).
previously required that advisers disclose these arrangements but did not specifically require that
the description discuss the conflicts of interest created.
Global View retains our Fiduciary Loyalty to any client introduced from a potential Solicitor. We
fully and frankly disclose the details of our Solicitation Relationship prior to entering an
agreement with a new client. We will not make decisions that harm a client in favor of a referring
solicitor. Advisor will not charge clients referred through Solicitors any fees or costs higher than
its standard fee schedule offered to its clients or otherwise pass Solicitation Fees to its clients.
There were no Solicitor arrangements in place during the last fiscal year, nor are there at the
presently.
15. Custody
Absent an existing brokerage relationship, the Adviser will assist the client with developing a
relationship with brokers that the Adviser has a relationship with which include: Schwab and
Axos.
Schwab and Axos will mail or email monthly account statements to each client for each
investment account. Each client should carefully review their statements for accuracy. Both
Schwab and Axos, have technology to facilitate online access to client accounts. Clients who
choose to enroll in on-line access have an added means for monitoring account activity.
16. Investment Discretion
We accept and recommend discretionary authority be provided to Global View. When a client
agrees to discretionary management, the Adviser will be responsible for asset allocation and
selecting money managers. The only limitations on the investment authority will be those
limitations imposed in writing by the client. Discretionary authority is granted by the client on the
11 | P a g e
Exhibit to our Agreement for Investment Management services document initialed and signed by
each new client.
If we retain a sub-adviser for the client, we reserve discretion to hire and fire money managers on
our client’s behalf. The only limitations on the investment authority will be those limitations
imposed in writing by the client. For the investment managers that we select to manage client
assets, clients should review their disclosure document(s) for more information on their policy
with regard to investment or brokerage discretion.
17. Voting Client Securities
Notwithstanding Adviser’s discretionary authority to make investment decisions on behalf of
clients, Adviser will not exercise proxy voting authority over securities held in client accounts.
The obligation to vote for client proxies shall at all times rest with the client. Adviser shall not be
deemed to have proxy voting authority solely as a result of providing advice or information about
a particular proxy vote to a client. Clients will receive proxy requests directly from mutual fund,
custodian, or transfer agent. Clients may contact us to discuss any questions about a particular
solicitation.
Should Adviser inadvertently receive proxy information for a security Schwab and/or Axos, held
in a client’s account, Adviser will make a good faith effort to forward such information to the
Client in a timely manner, but will not take any further action with respect to the voting of such
proxy. Upon termination of its Investment Advisory Agreement with a client, Adviser shall make
a good faith and reasonable attempt to forward proxy information inadvertently received by
Adviser on behalf of the client to the forwarding address provided by the client to Adviser.
