Item 4 - Advisory Business
Goodreid Investment Counsel is a private, employee-owned investment management firm, established
over 25 years ago. The principal owner of our business is Gordon Reid.
We focus primarily on providing discretionary investment management services to high net worth
investors and small institutions. We offer a managed portfolio approach enabling us to provide
investment portfolios tailored to meet the individuals needs and objectives of our clients. With over 100
years of combined industry experience, our portfolio managers employ a consistent, disciplined
investment process to ensure that a client’s portfolio is made up of quality debt offerings and some of the
world's best companies. Our investment universe includes common stocks issued by domestic and
foreign companies, bonds issued by governments and domestic companies and preferred shares issued
by domestic companies. Asset allocation is personalized for each individual client to ensure the
appropriate balance between capital appreciation and preservation.
As at August 31, 2025, our firm managed client assets of about US$544,000,000 on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Goodreid charges a management fee based on a percentage of assets under management. The
percentage of assets charged per annum for investors is listed in the following table by asset level:
• 1.25% on assets up to $2,000,000
• 0.75% on next $3,000,000
• Negotiable over $5,000,000
Goodreid charges the above management fee at the end of each quarter. As our management fees are
charged in arrears, Goodreid does not offer refunds as services have already been performed. Goodreid
arranges with their broker-dealer/custodian to have its management fee automatically deducted from
the client’s brokerage account. The client’s broker-dealer/custodian will send statements, at least
quarterly, to the Client that will reflect the advisory fee paid to Goodreid.
Our management fee is exclusive of, and in addition to brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other
related costs and expenses associated with client accounts. These additional charges are imposed by the
broker dealer/custodian holding the account and not paid to Goodreid. Our brokerage practices are
discussed under Item 12 of this brochure.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management

Item 7 – Types of Clients
Goodreid manages portfolios and provides investment advice for individuals, pensions, estates, trusts,
corporations, charitable and endowment funds. Our minimum client account size is $500,000; however,
smaller amounts may be accepted at the discretion of management.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investment opportunities are identified using multiple approaches. Some are identified by studying the
rate and composition of economic activity and growth. This approach reveals secular long-term trends,
short-term cyclical and global macro themes that will favor certain sectors of the economy and companies
that may benefit.
Other investment ideas are identified by evaluating and comparing each company’s individual
characteristics to identify those which are most likely to achieve superior results driven by competitive
advantages that are exploited by skillful operational and financial management.
All these investment ideas are further tested using three types of analytical frameworks:
Quantitative: Multivariate ranking and screening of publicly listed securities.
1.
Fundamental: Applying traditional industry and company analysis to determine valuation.
2.
Technical: Analysis of price and volume trends
3.
The highest conviction investment candidates are those investment ideas that can be validated against
these three analytical frameworks. This universe of investments becomes the basis upon which our
portfolios are built.
We manage portfolio risk by understanding and applying the principles of modern portfolio
construction, which include:
Diversify across multiple asset classes
-
Limit individual security and sector weightings
-
Be sensitive to intersecting themes and concentration
-
Be aware of liquidity and trading considerations
-
Rebalancing regularly

We have the discipline to sell a given position when:
Company fundamentals deteriorate
-
There is a change in operating environment
-
Earnings are disappointing
-
Valuation become too high
-
A better opportunity emerges
-
All investments come with the risk of losing money. There can be no assurance that a specific investment,
nor a portfolio of investments, will achieve its investment objectives. Past performance should not be
viewed as a guide to future returns. Investors should be prepared for the risk of loss.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There is no history of reportable material legal or disciplinary events by our firm or our employees.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Not Applicable.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Goodreid has adopted a Code of Ethics to address the standards of business conduct that are required by
each employee, officer and director of our firm. The Code focuses primarily on fiduciary duty and
obligations to comply with applicable laws, treatment of confidential information, and conflicts of
interest.
A copy of Goodreid’s Code of Ethics is available upon request to Andrew Budd, Chief Compliance Officer,
at (416) 364-0890.
In order to supervise the personal trading activities of employees and related persons and manage the
conflicts that may arise from personal trading, Goodreid has established appropriate policies and
procedures, including monthly reviews of personal brokerage account statements and a requirement to
seek pre-clearance for personal trades.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
We have relationships with a number of custodians and will recommend that our clients establish
account(s) with the custodian best suited to their needs based on such factors as portfolio size, fees and
commissions and client preference.

Item 13 – Review of Accounts
We monitor client accounts on a continuous basis and conduct formal reviews at least quarterly. Such
reviews are conducted by the designated portfolio manager or associate portfolio manager responsible
for the client account.
Goodreid’s custodians provide clients with trade confirmations for all portfolio transactions for which the
firm has initiated. The confirmations detail all pertinent information concerning the trades, including
quantity or principal amount, execution price and any commissions and fees associated with the
transaction. Clients also receive monthly account statements from their custodian showing the activity
in their account and the value of cash and securities at the period end.
Goodreid provides quarterly performance reports to all clients which present their portfolio holdings and
activity in comprehensive detail, in addition to their portfolio performance over time and as compared to
an appropriate benchmark.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Not applicable.
Item 15 – Custody
Clients of Goodreid receive account statements directly from their account custodian on at least a
quarterly basis. Clients are urged to compare their custodial account statements against their investment
performance report that they receive directly from us.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Goodreid provides portfolio management services to its clients on a discretionary basis. Our clients enter
into an Investment Management Agreement with us which specifies, among other things, the nature of
our authority over client accounts. In order to exercise our discretionary authority, our clients grant us
trading authority over the custodial account(s) that fall under Goodreid’s mandate.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Goodreid has an obligation to review and vote proxies in the best interests of its clients and the portfolios
it manages on their behalf. Our client’s custodians are instructed to forward all proxies to Goodreid.
Unless specifically instructed otherwise by the client, we will vote all proxies received on behalf of our
clients. There may, however, be circumstances in which we decide not to vote a proxy; in such cases, we
document the reason for not voting. Goodreid’s portfolio managers will ensure that all proxies are
reviewed, analyzed and voted in the best interests of clients, and in accordance with any client instructions
and the firm’s internal policies and procedures. In all cases, clients' interests are placed ahead of
Goodreid's interests. Goodreid will disclose, upon written request, proxy voting records to clients.
