Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation

What Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation does

Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation is an employee-owned, SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 1993 by Robert P. Groesbeck and headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey. The firm provides discretionary equity portfolio management services to institutional clients — endowments, foundations, pension plans, trusts, and Taft-Hartley accounts — as well as to high net worth individuals and IRA holders. As of 2024, the firm manages approximately $64 million in assets, a deliberately boutique scale that has persisted for over three decades under continuous family-CFA leadership.

The firm offers two core equity strategies and a wrap-fee variant: the Growth of Income Strategy targets companies with faster-than-market earnings and dividend growth to deliver income plus total return in excess of the S&P 500; the Growth Strategy selects companies with a minimum of 10% annual earnings growth potential emphasizing financial strength, sustainable revenue growth, and reasonable valuations; and the Managed Accounts Growth of Income Composite, a wrap-fee program launched in April 2003, extends the Growth of Income style to advisor platforms. Investment decisions are grounded in fundamental analysis of historical financial facts — revenues, operating earnings, dividends, return on equity, and balance sheet strength — rather than analyst forecasts or quantitative models. The firm claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) and has been independently verified from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2024; it explicitly avoids derivatives, leverage, short selling, and market timing.

Revenue is generated exclusively through asset-based advisory fees billed annually on a tiered schedule: 1.00% on the first $10 million, 0.75% on the next $20 million, 0.625% on the next $20 million, and 0.50% above $50 million, with a $100,000 minimum account size and negotiable fees at the firm's discretion. Distribution is conducted entirely through direct outreach to institutional clients and high net worth individuals, supplemented by professional network referrals; the firm does not use third-party intermediaries or marketplace channels and operates exclusively within the United States.

Core offering

Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation provides discretionary equity portfolio management services to institutional clients (endowments, foundations, pension plans, trusts, Taft-Hartley accounts) and high net worth individuals through two distinct strategies: Growth of Income (seeking growing current income and total return in excess of the S&P 500) and Growth (seeking higher-than-market returns through capital appreciation). The firm conducts its own fundamental security analysis and manages separate accounts with a minimum of $100,000, charging tiered asset-based management fees.

Product overview

Groesbeck Investment Management Corporation offers two distinct equity portfolio management investment strategies delivered as advisory services: the Growth of Income Strategy (seeking growing stream of current income and total return in excess of S&P 500) and the Growth Strategy (generating higher-than-market returns through capital appreciation). Both strategies are supported by the same fundamental research-driven investment process and are available through separate managed accounts. A third offering, the Managed Accounts Growth of Income Composite, represents a wrap fee program version of the Growth of Income style.
