Mountain Hill Investment Partners Corp.
Advisory Business
Mountain Hill Investment Partners Corp. (“MHIP”) provides discretionary investment advisory
services to families, individuals, corporations, and other sophisticated investors of capital. MHIP
also provides non-discretionary advisory services to 401(k) plan sponsors. MHIP was organized
in 2006 and registered as an investment adviser in 2015. Andrew J. Kaiser is the Managing Partner
and controlling shareholder and Michael H. Meyers and Lauren G. Siewert are Partners and
shareholders.
MHIP is a boutique family office, serving the investment and advisory needs of a group of clients
from around the globe. We do not use outside investment managers, choosing to use our
cumulative time in business of 75 plus years of expertise and experience to create individual
portfolios based on each client’s goals, risk tolerance, time horizon and tax structure. Clients may
restrict or prohibit purchases of certain types of securities in their accounts.
MHIP has an offering called the RJJ portfolio. We have been managing this portfolio since 2006.
This offering is a low beta, low P/E and high dividend yield model. MHIP believes the RJJ
portfolio is a great alternative for investors looking for a less volatile, i.e., lower beta offering, for
exposure to equities.
We also manage several additional portfolios created through an allocation of mutual funds, index
funds and exchange-traded funds that target different risk and return profiles.
As of December 2024, MHIP manages approximately $360 million. Of that, $203 million in
discretionary assets and approximately $157 million of non-discretionary assets.
Fees and Compensation
MHIP charges management fees for its discretionary investment advice and advisory services. Fees
are based on assets under management and are charged quarterly in advance. The custodian deducts
fees directly from the account. The client’s specific fee is set forth in our Investment Advisory
Agreement. The schedule of fees shall be applied to the fair market value of the assets based on
the average daily balance of the account in any given quarterly period. Clients are billed on a
quarterly basis.
4 | P a g e
Mountain Hill Investment Partners Corp.
In certain situations, MHIP’s fees may be negotiable. MHIP’s fee covers MHIP’s investment
advisory services and advice, as well as charges for custody of account assets and account reporting.
Other potential transaction fees are separate from MHIP’s fees and will be disclosed by Fidelity
Brokerage Services LLC (the custodian). If mutual funds, index funds or exchange traded funds
are used in a client’s account, the client will pay separately incurred expenses imposed directly by
the mutual fund or exchange-traded funds which are disclosed in the funds’ prospectuses.
At times we may provide advice on assets not held at our firm. We charge a fee for our time at an
hourly rate or flat fee basis. This fee is based on the scope and complexity of our engagement with
the client and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. A potential client is provided with an
investment advisory agreement outlining the services and fee prior to engagement.
MHIP may have employees that are licensed to offer insurance products. These products typically
have fees that are shared with our firm in the form of compensation. This practice presents a
conflict of interest and gives any such employee, and MHIP, an incentive to recommend insurance
products based on the compensation received, rather than based on a client’s needs. MHIP
addresses this conflict by ensuring that, as a fiduciary, a potential client has a reasonable need for
an insurance product and that we always act in the client’s best interest. MHIP, or its relevant
employee(s), will disclose this potential conflict of interest to any potential client that it is offering
such insurance products to.
As compensation for the services that MHIP provides to 401(k) plan participants, the plan, or the
company sponsor of said plan, pays MHIP a quarterly fee based upon the value of the plans assets.
Performance‐Based Fees and Side‐by‐Side Management
MHIP does not charge performance-based fees.

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
MHIP is focused on capital appreciation, preservation, and risk management. We utilize asset
allocation strategies focused on our client’s specific investment objectives.
• We leverage our Wall Street relationships to understand trends and forecasts.
• Our analytics help us to select investments that we believe have favorable
risk profiles.
• We take a fundamental and technical approach to building investment portfolios.
• MHIP has several Investment Strategies:
□ The RJJ Portfolio- long term equity, risk weighted, low beta.
□ Portfolio protection through option writing / covered calls.
□ Risk Weighted Models- Mutual funds, index funds and exchange traded funds are
utilized to give risk-based exposure whether it’s conservative, balanced, moderate
or aggressive.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Material risks
involved in investing with MHIP include, but are not limited to the following:
Market Risk – All securities are subject to market risk. The value of the securities held by a client
may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including changing economic,
political or market conditions.
Equity Securities Risk – To the extent a client’s account invests in equity investments (i.e., stocks), a
particular stock, an industry or stocks in general may rise or fall in value. The value of a client’s
account will go up and down with the prices of the securities in which the account invests. The
prices of stocks change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings
of the issuer, the value of its assets, management decisions, decreased demand for an issuer’s
products or services, increased production costs, general economic conditions, interest rates,
currency exchange rates, geopolitical risks investor perceptions and market liquidity.
Mutual Fund/Index Fund/Exchange Traded Fund Risk – As a shareholder of a mutual fund, index
fund or exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), clients bear their proportionate share of the fund’s fees and
expenses. As a result, a client’s cost of investing may be higher than investment strategies that invest
directly in stocks. In addition, a client’s investments in these funds are subject to the risks described
in the fund’s prospectuses, which MHIP urges the client to read.
Risks Associated with Options on Securities – There are several risks associated with transactions in
options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and
options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given
transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options
involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be
6 | P a g e

unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a
covered call option, a client forgoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases
in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the
strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security
decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its
obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot
affect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must
deliver the underlying security at the exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by a client is
not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security remains equal
to or greater than the exercise price (in the case of a call) or remains less than or equal to the exercise
price (in the case of a put), the client will lose its entire investment in the option. Also, where a put
or call option on a particular security is purchased to hedge against price movements in a related
security, the price of the put or call option may move more or less than the price of the related security.
There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a client seeks to close out an option
position. If trading were suspended in an option purchased by a client, the client would not be able to
close out the option. If restrictions on exercise were imposed, a client might be unable to exercise
an option it has purchased. If a client were unable to close out an option that it had purchased on a
security, it would have to exercise the option in order to realize any profit or the option may expire
worthless. If a client were unable to close out a covered call option that it had written on a security,
it would not be able to sell the underlying security unless the option expired without exercise.
Disciplinary Information
MHIP does not have any legal or disciplinary events to disclose.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
N/A
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
MHIP has adopted a code of ethics which sets forth certain standards of business conduct that govern
the personal investment activities of the firm’s employees and officers, including the standard that
the interests of advisory clients must be placed first at all times. The code of ethics requires access
persons to report their personal securities transactions on a quarterly basis and their securities
holdings upon commencement of employment (or upon becoming an access person) and annually
thereafter. Access persons also must obtain approval before they acquire any ownership interest in
any security in an initial public offering or limited offering. The code of ethics applies not only to
transactions by the individual, but also to transactions for accounts in which the person has an interest
individually, jointly or as guardian, executor or trustee, or in which the person or the person’s
spouse, minor children or other dependents residing in the same household have an interest.
Compliance with the code of ethics is a condition of employment. The code of ethics requires all
employees and officers to comply with applicable securities laws and to promptly report any
violation of the code. Clients may obtain a copy of the firm’s code of ethics from MHIP upon request.
7 | P a g e
Mountain Hill Investment Partners Corp.
The firm’s officers and employees may invest in securities that are recommended for purchase or
sale by clients. The firm’s officers and employees face a conflict of interest when they buy or sell
securities at or about the same time that MHIP buys or sells the same securities for client accounts or
recommends that clients buy or sell the same securities, because the firm’s officers or employees
could take advantage of the information regarding the client transactions and execute their trades
prior to the clients (commonly called “front running”). However, MHIP’s code of ethics provides
that employee trades after clients, or that orders be batched, resulting in the same execution for both
parties. As our employees may be invested in the firm’s portfolios, it is likely that clients and
employees will trade on the same day, though a batch order prevents most conflicts to timing or
price.
Brokerage Practices
MHIP uses the clearing services of the custodian. MHIP does not have soft dollar arrangements or
“pay up” for research. However, MHIP may receive proprietary research from the custodian
including advice as to the value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling
securities; the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; and analyses or reports
concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy or the
performance of accounts. Research services may be used by MHIP in servicing all its accounts. When
the custodian provides MHIP with research services, MHIP receives a benefit because it does not
have to produce or pay for the research.
MHIP may receive from the custodian, without cost, computer software and related systems support,
which allow MHIP to better monitor client accounts. With respect to the custodian, MHIP may
receive the software and related support without cost because MHIP renders investment advisory
services to clients that, in the aggregate, maintain a certain level of assets with the custodian.
Specifically, MHIP may receive the following benefits from the custodian: receipt of duplicate client
confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services
advisers; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transaction and
then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and access to an electronic communication
network for client order entry and account information.
On occasions when MHIP deems the purchase and/or sale of a security to be in the best interest of
more than one of its clients, MHIP may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for a client
with those to be sold or purchased for such other clients to obtain best qualitative execution. In such
event, allocation of the securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the
transaction, will be made by MHIP in the manner considered to be most equitable and consistent
with its fiduciary obligations to participating clients and in accordance with the client’s investment
objectives and goals.
Review of Accounts
Andrew J. Kaiser, Michael H. Meyers, and Lauren G. Siewert at MHIP will review client accounts
on a frequent basis to determine if an account needs rebalancing due to a change in market values.
We employ technology that alerts us to account changes in value, news on individual holdings,
and provides
8| P a g e
Mountain Hill Investment Partners Corp.
insight into performance. In addition, MHIP seeks to meet with clients in-person, if possible, twice
each year. Clients receive statements from their custodian at least quarterly, as well as trade
confirmations via email or mail when MHIP trades in their account. MHIP sends clients email
correspondence with market news and portfolio allocation changes when we deem that information
relevant.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
MHIP does not compensate third parties for client referrals.
Custody
For purposes of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (as amended), MHIP is deemed to have
custody of client assets when the custodian deducts advisory fees from client accounts. Upon
becoming an advisory client of MHIP, MHIP opens an account with the custodian on the client’s
behalf. We notify the client of their account number and contact information at the custodian.
Statements and confirmation of trades are delivered to the client directly from the custodian.
We encourage our clients to raise any questions with us about custody, safety, or security of their
assets. The custodian we do business with will send independent account statements at least
quarterly listing the account balance(s), transaction history and any fee debits or other fees
deducted from the account(s). MHIP urges clients to carefully review those statements.
Investment Discretion
MHIP accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients pursuant
to an investment advisory agreement in which the client appoints MHIP as its agent and attorney-
in fact with full investment power and authority on behalf of the client’s account. Pursuant to this
discretionary authority, MHIP will determine which securities to buy or sell for the account, and
the total amount of the purchases and sales. Clients may place limitations on this authority,
including restricting or prohibiting purchases of certain securities or types of securities.
Voting Client Securities
MHIP does not have the authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive their proxies or
other solicitations directly from their custodian. Clients may contact MHIP with questions about
a particular solicitation.
Financial Information
MHIP does not believe there is any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability
to meet contractual commitments to clients.
