Portland, Oregon based Grifphon LLC is an investment management company formed in 2001 that manages hedge funds. Grifphon specializes in “global macro” investment strategies—based on changes in macroeconomic variables on a global scale—and strives to generate returns for their investors based on these strategies.

Investors in Grifphon’s funds must be Qualified Purchasers.

A “Qualified Purchaser” is defined as*:

  • An individual who owns $5 million or more in investments, including investments held in self-directed retirement plans and jointly with a spouse.
  • A family-held business that owns $5 million or more in investments.
  • An institutional investor that has discretion over $25 million or more in investments.
  • For trusts with less than $25 million in assets, a trust sponsored by Qualified Purchasers.
  • A company owned beneficially only by Qualified Purchasers, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered.

*Institutions and pension accounts are subject to more complex criteria, and should consult an accountant.
Grifphon always advises prospective investors to consult a personal accountant to identify any individual needs before making investment decisions.

Grifphon’s principal manager and founder is Yusaf Jawed. Mr. Jawed’s business philosophy involves the combination of analysts and managers with comprehensive knowledge of both fundamental and technical analysis to create a team that excels at providing clients with long-term capital appreciation while minimizing risk. These analysts and managers use their insightful, discerning views of the markets to generate Grifphon’s returns. This philosophy has paid off, allowing Yusaf Jawed and the Grifphon team to grow the company consistently since its inception.
