Item 4: Advisory Business
A.
Description of the Advisory Firm
Octavia Investments LLC is a Limited Liability Company organized in the state of
Delaware. The investment advisory firm became registered in June of 2013, and the
principal owner is Andre Kovensky.
B.
Types of Advisory Services
Octavia Investments LLC (hereinafter “OI”) offers the following services to advisory
clients:
Investment Services
OI offers clients investment portfolio strategies managed by specific OI advisors. OI
creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current
situation (income, net worth, and risk tolerance levels). OI offers to create a detailed
financial plan for each client in order to guide the construction of an investment portfolio.
OI then recommends allocations across the different investment portfolio strategies based
on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.
OI offers the same investment portfolio strategies to all of its clients and then recommends
varying allocations across such strategies based on a client’s specific situation. It is
possible that none of OI’s investment portfolio strategies are in line with a potential
client’s objectives, in which case such potential client is not advised to seek services from
OI.
OI will request discretionary authority from clients to select securities and execute
transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance
levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
OI generally limits its money management to mutual funds, equities, bonds, fixed income,
debt securities, ETFs, REITs, private placements, MLPs, online lending and government
securities. OI may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when
applicable. OI may sell short securities as well as buy options.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
5
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money
creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special
rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
OI offers the same suite of services to all its clients. However, specific client portfolio
construction is dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines
each client’s current situation (income, net worth, and risk tolerance levels) and is used to
construct a client specific portfolio allocation across OI’s investment portfolio strategies
that matches client objectives.
Clients may not impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities
in accordance with their values or beliefs.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any other administrative
fees. OI does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E.
Amounts Under Management
Discretionary assets under management are approximately $248.9 million as of February
28, 2025. Non-discretionary assets under management are $0.0 as of February 28, 2025.

These fees are negotiable depending upon the needs of the client and complexity of the
situation. Fees are calculated quarterly based on the closing value of the account on the
final day of each quarter. Clients may terminate the contract without penalty, for full
refund, within five business days of signing the contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate
the contract with one day written notice. Fees are deducted or invoiced quarterly
following the completion of the March, June, September and December quarters.
For contracts begun or terminated during a quarter, fees for such quarter are calculated
on a prorated basis, based on the number of days completed in the quarter at the time of
account commencement or termination. The fee due will be (1) the start or termination
date closing prices AUM times (2) the daily rate* times (3) the number of days in the
quarter (i) through the end of the quarter for new accounts or (ii) up to and including the
day of termination for terminated accounts. (*The daily rate is calculated by dividing the
annual AUM fee percentage by 365 days). The invoiced fee will include all fees incurred
during the quarter up until the termination date. Lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources.
The fee % in the above table are based on the total net funds deposited with Octavia across
all client accounts, not the AUM across all client accounts. The fee amount charged by
Octavia, though, is based on AUM, not total net funds deposited.
B.
Payment of Fees
Payment of Investment Supervisory Fees
Depending on the brokerage firm used by the Client, advisory fees either will be invoiced
and billed directly to the client quarterly at the end of the quarter or will be deducted
directly from the Client account quarterly at the end of the quarter. Quarters end in
March, June, September and December. In the case where advisory fees are deducted
7
directly from the Client account, this will only occur if the Client has given prior written
approval to do so and Client will have access to monthly statements from the Client’s
brokerage firm showing the amount of the fees being deducted. OI will also provide Client
a quarterly statement prepared by OI with the calculation of fees, which will serve as a fee
invoice.
C.
Clients Are Responsible For Third Party Fees
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third party fees (i.e. custodian fees,
brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and
distinct from the fees and expenses charged by OI. Please see Item 12 of this brochure
regarding broker/custodian.
D.
Prepayment of Fees
OI does not collect fees in advance.
E.
Outside Compensation For the Sale of Securities to Clients
Neither OI nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or services fees from
the sale of mutual funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
OI does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
OI generally provides management supervisory services to the following types of clients:
❖ Individuals
❖ High-Net-Worth Individuals
❖ Trusts and estates
❖ Family offices
❖ Corporations
Minimum Account Size
There is no account minimum.

Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of
Investment Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Methods of Analysis
OI’s methods of analysis include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical
analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial
health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume.
Cyclical analysis involved the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for
buying and/or selling a security.
Investment Strategies
OI uses long term trading, short term trading, short sales, and options writing (including
covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies).
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared
to bear.
B. Material Risks Involved
Methods of Analysis
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is
that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market
trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these
patterns can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not
always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not work long term.
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once
identified, can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two-
fold: 1) the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns and 2) if too many investors
begin to implement this strategy, it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to
exploit.
Investment Strategies
9
Depending on the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives and previously agreed
preferences, OI will implement a specific investment strategy managed by a particular OI
Investment Advisor Representative or a combination of investment strategies managed
by various OI Investment Advisor Representatives. If the client requests OI provide a
variety of investment strategies, the client will open one account for each investment
strategy and allocate the appropriate amount of funds into the account to be managed by
the respective OI Investment Advisor Representatives. Once such funds are allocated
between accounts, OI is not permitted to transfer funds between accounts. If a client
desires to change the amount of funds allocated between accounts, the client must inform
the respective OI Investment Advisor Representative of such desire and the dollar amount
that such client would like to transfer. The OI Investment Advisor Representative will
then sell securities to generate the required amount of funds. The client will then initiate
the transfer of such funds into the client’s other account or accounts to be managed by the
other OI Investment Advisor Representative or Representatives.
A detailed description of the specific OI investment strategies and respective Investment
Advisor Representatives managing such strategies is included in Client’s Investment
Advisory Contract.
Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Frequent
trading, when done, can affect investment performance, particularly through increased
brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Short term trading, short sales, and options writing generally hold greater risk and clients
should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any of those strategies.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared
to bear.
C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized
OI provides varying investment strategies based on the risk tolerance and investment
objectives of OI’s clients.
OI will utilize short sales and options writing. Short sales and options writing generally
hold greater risk of capital loss and clients should be aware that there is a material risk of
loss using any of those strategies. The investment types listed below (leaving aside
Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by
the FDIC or any other government agency.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may
lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment
returns. They can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature
(mentioned above).
Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks by an individual or firms in
return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the
10
stock increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may
decrease in value and the investment may incur a loss.
Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds: The Risk of default on these bonds
is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry
a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal.
Fixed Income is an investment that guarantees fixed periodic payments in the future that
may involve economic risks such as inflationary risk, interest rate risk, default risk,
repayment of principal risk, etc.
Debt securities carry risks such as the possibility of default on the principal, fluctuation
in interest rates, and counterparties being unable to meet obligations.
Stocks & Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in stocks & ETF's carries the risk of
capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy).
REITs have specific risks including valuation due to cash flows, dividends paid in stock
rather than cash, and the payment of debt resulting in dilution of shares.
Private Placements and Crowd Funding Websites carry a substantial risk as they are
largely unregulated offerings not subject to securities laws.
MLP is an ownership unit in a publicly traded limited partnership, or master limited
partnership (MLP). This trust gives the unit holder a stake in the income generated by the
partnership company. An MLP often distributes all available cash flow from operations
to unit holders after the deduction of maintenance capital.
Precious Metal ETFs (e.g., Gold, Silver, or Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares”
not physical metal): Investing in precious metal ETFs carries the risk of capital loss.
Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its
nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to various other types of risk
that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the
investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk,
interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk.
Short term trading risks include liquidity, economic stability and inflation.
Short sales risks include the upward trend of the market and the infinite possibility of
loss.
Options writing involve a contract to purchase a security at a given price, not necessarily
at market value, depending on the market. This strategy includes the risk that an option
may expire out of the money resulting in minimal or no value and the possibility of
leveraged loss of trading capital due to the leveraged nature of stock options. An
uncovered option is a type of options contract that is not backed by an offsetting position
that would help mitigate risk. The risk for a “naked” or uncovered put is not unlimited,
11
whereas the potential loss for an uncovered call option is limitless. Spread option
positions entail buying and selling multiple options on the same underlying security, but
with different strike prices or expiration dates, which helps limit the risk of other option
trading strategies. Option writing also involves risks including but not limited to
economic risk, market risk, sector risk, idiosyncratic risk, political/regulatory risk,
inflation (purchasing power) risk and interest rate risk.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities involves
a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
A. Criminal or Civil Actions
There are no criminal or civil actions to report.
B. Administrative Proceedings
There are no administrative proceedings to report.
C. Self-regulatory Organization (SRO) Proceedings
There are no self-regulatory organization proceedings to report.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Registration as a Broker/Dealer or Broker/Dealer Representative
Neither OI nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to
become a broker/dealer or as representatives of a broker/dealer.
B. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool
Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor
Neither OI nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to
become a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or a Commodity
Trading Advisor.
C. Registration Relationships Material to this Advisory Business and
Possible Conflicts of Interests
All material conflicts of interest Under Section 260.238 (k) of the Corporations Code are
disclosed regarding the investment adviser, its representatives or any of its employees,
which could be reasonable expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective
advice.
12
D. Selection of Other Advisers or Managers and How This Adviser is
Compensated for Those Selections
OI does not utilize nor select other advisers or third party managers. All assets are
managed by OI Investment Advisor Representatives, with supervisory oversight by OI
Chief Compliance Officer.
E. Legal Business Entities of Investment Advisor Representatives
If an Investment Advisor Representative has its own legal business entity or entities, the
client should understand that only the individual advisor is registered with OI, and that
no affiliation exists between the legal business entity or entities of the Investment Advisor
Representative, and either the Registered Investment Advisor, or the Custodian. Other
services or businesses provided by the advisor are disclosed in the Part 2B Supplemental
disclosure for the particular advisor.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
OI has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and
Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions,
Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality,
Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and
Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting
Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual
Review, and Sanctions. Our Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or
prospective client.
B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
OI does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to
OI or OI has a material financial interest.
C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
OI’s business model is for OI Investment Advisor Representatives to buy or sell securities
for themselves that they also buy or sell for clients. This may provide an opportunity for
representatives of OI to buy or sell the same securities before or after recommending the
same securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations
they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest. OI will always
13
document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will always
transact client business before their own when similar securities are being bought or sold.
D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities
Representatives of OI may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time
as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of OI to buy or sell
securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives
profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a
conflict of interest. OI will always transact client’s transactions before its own when
similar securities are being bought or sold.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers
Custodian is recommended based on their relatively low transaction fees, trading
platform capabilities and access to mutual funds and ETFs. OI recommends Schwab
Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., (CRD #5393) as custodians. OI
will never charge a premium or commission on transactions, beyond the actual cost
imposed by the custodian.
1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
OI receives no research, product, or services other than execution from a broker-dealer
or third-party in connection with client securities transactions (“soft dollar benefits”).
2. Brokerage for Client Referrals
OI receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that
broker-dealer or third party.
3. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use
OI allows clients to direct brokerage: however, OI may recommend custodians. OI
may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions if clients
choose to direct brokerage. This may cost clients money because without the ability to
direct brokerage OI may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transactions costs
resulting in higher brokerage commissions and less favorable prices. Not all
investment advisers allow their clients to direct brokerage.
B. Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
14
OI maintains the ability to block trade purchases across accounts. Block trading may
benefit a large group of clients by providing OI the ability to purchase larger blocks
resulting in smaller transaction costs to the client. Declining to block trade can cause
more expensive trades for clients.
Item 13: Reviews of Accounts
A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes Those
Reviews
Client accounts are reviewed at least monthly by the relevant OI Investment Advisor
Representative managing such account. Client accounts are also reviewed at least
quarterly by Andre Kovensky, Managing Member. Andre Kovensky is the chief advisor
and is instructed to review clients’ accounts with regard to clients’ respective investment
policies and risk tolerance levels. All accounts at OI are assigned to this reviewer.
B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client
Accounts
Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes
in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical
move, or inheritance).
C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients
Each client will receive, at least quarterly from the custodian, a written report that details
the client’s account including assets held and asset value which will come from the
custodian.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered
to Clients (Includes Sales Awards or Other Prizes)
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services provides OI with access to Charles Schwab
& Co., Inc. Advisor Services’ institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services retail investors.
These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an
unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the
adviser’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor
Services. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services includes brokerage services that are
related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the
15
form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments
that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment. For OI client accounts maintained in its
custody, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services generally does not charge
separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through
commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are
executed through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services or that settle into Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services also makes available to OI other products
and services that benefit OI but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may
include national, regional or OI specific educational events organized and/or sponsored
by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include
occasional business entertainment of personnel of OI by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf
tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany
educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist OI in managing and
administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related
technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts, if applicable), provide research,
pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of OI’s fees from its clients’
accounts (if applicable), and assist with back-office training and support functions,
recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to
service all or some substantial number of OI’s accounts. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Advisor Services also makes available to OI other services intended to help OI manage
and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include professional
compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice
management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance,
employee benefits providers, and human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In
addition, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services may make available, arrange
and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to OI by independent third
parties. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would
otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party
providing these services to OI. OI is independently owned and operated and not affiliated
with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services.
OI participates in the institutional advisor program (the “Program”) offered by TD
Ameritrade. TD Ameritrade offers independent investment advisor services which
include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. OI
receives some benefits from TD Ameritrade through its participation in the Program.
As part of the Program, OI may recommend TD Ameritrade to clients for custody and
brokerage services. There is no direct link between OI’s participation in the Program and
the investment advice it gives to its clients, although OI receives economic benefits
through its participation in the Program that are typically not available to TD Ameritrade
retail investors. These benefits include the following products and services (provided
16
without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations;
research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving
OI participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities
transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the
ability to have OI’s fees deducted directly from client accounts; access to an electronic
communications network for client order entry and account information; access to mutual
funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers; and discounts
on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or
services provided to OI by third party vendors. TD Ameritrade may also pay for business
consulting and professional services received by OI’s related persons. Some of the
products and services made available by TD Ameritrade through the Program may
benefit OI but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist
OI in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at
TD Ameritrade. Other services made available by TD Ameritrade are intended to help OI
manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by OI or its
personnel through participation in the Program do not depend on the number of
brokerage transactions directed to TD Ameritrade. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients,
OI endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware,
however, that the receipt of economic benefits by OI or its related persons in and of itself
creates a conflict of interest and may indirectly influence OI’s choice of TD Ameritrade for
custody and brokerage services.
B. Compensation to Non – Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals
OI does compensate third parties who are not OI advisory personnel for client referrals.
Such compensation is paid by OI, and client fees paid by client to OI are not in any way
impacted by such referral arrangements.
Item 15: Custody
Custody of client’s accounts is held primarily at the client’s chosen custodian. Clients will receive
account statements from the custodian and should carefully review those statements. Per the
North American Securities Administrators Association’ Custody Requirements for Investment
Advisers Model Rule 102(e)(1)-1, OI is deemed to have partial custody of client accounts due to
OI’s right to withdraw fees directly from client accounts by request of client’s custodian. As a
result, OI is required to simultaneously invoice clients at the time fee notice is sent to the
custodian.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For those client accounts where OI will have investment discretion, the client has given OI written
discretionary authority over the client’s accounts with respect to securities to be bought or sold
and the amount of securities to be bought or sold. Details of this relationship are fully disclosed
to the client before any advisory relationship has commenced. The client provides OI
17
discretionary authority via a discretionary investment management clause in the Investment
Advisory Contract and/or a limited power of attorney clause in the contract between the client
and the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities (Proxy Voting)
OI will not ask for, but upon the client’s request will accept voting authority for client securities.
Clients will receive proxies directly from the issuer of the security or the custodian. Clients should
direct all proxy questions to the issuer of the security.
Item 18: Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
OI does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six
months or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with
this brochure.
B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to Meet
Contractual Commitments to Clients
Neither OI nor its management have any financial conditions that are likely to reasonably
impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
C. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Ten Years
OI has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition in the last ten years.
