Getting Started with Cheviot Value Management
Do you have a minimum investment?
Our minimum investment is $500,000.00, though, in certain circumstances, we are willing to accept a smaller initial investment if it represents all of one’s assets set aside for long-term investment.

Will I receive personal attention?
At Cheviot Value Management, we pride ourselves on being able to offer our clients the personal attention other firms simply are not able to provide. Each individual's account is invested in accordance with the personal investment, financial, and estate planning objectives of the client. We are also able to provide legal and accounting referrals, based on a client’s particular needs.

Can I have my account at any brokerage firm I choose?
While we certainly make every attempt to accommodate each client’s wishes, 95% of our clients have chosen Charles Schwab & Co. as their custodian. It is our experience that Charles Schwab & Co. offers superior service and execution to the investment advisor client. If there is a legal reason why a person's assets must remain at another firm (a rare situation), we may agree to manage that account. (Note: CVM is in no way affiliated with Charles Schwab & Co. beyond the custodial arrangements our clients have established.)

Will I know what you’re buying for my account?
Yes. Clients receive confirmations from Charles Schwab & Co. following each purchase and sale. In addition, clients have full access to their account information via the Internet. Finally, clients receive quarterly statements from Cheviot Value Management.

How do I get started with Cheviot Value Management?
