Jason D. DeLorenzo
Principal and Owner I have been trading options since 2010. When I was trading stocks, I made a stock option move on a biotech catalyst and was successful - but it barely made any money. I immediately became interested in the vehicle, why it works, and why it doesn't work. I saw that people were earning money from this vehicle, and I wanted that to be me. I got educated on options and was mentored by a CBOE market maker. I learned how to capture opportunity with options. From there, I read books and subscribed to services that involved options. I started contributing ideas on stock trading boards using my knowledge of options. Participants noticed, and they were interested in me managing money for them. I set up Ad Deum Funds as a Registered Investment Advisor to offer the best services I can to clients. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Economics from Seton Hall University (2002) and my Master's degree in Economics from George Mason University (2017). |
Asset Management
Ad Deum Funds provides continuous regular asset management of client funds for accredited and nonaccredited investors. We gather information on the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background.
Ad Deum Funds LLC and its clients mutually authorize an Investment Advisory Contract. Ad Deum Funds manages advisory accounts on a discretionary basis, considering factors such as liquidity needs, income objectives, risk tolerances, and tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Once the client's portfolio has been established, we will execute the trades on behalf of our clients through our third-party brokerage firm. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a third-party brokerage firm.
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented or recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.

Investment Planning
Ad Deum Funds provides continuous advice to accredited and non-accredited investors regarding the investment of client funds. We answer questions from clients regarding the method in general or specific to their accounts and provide assistance in executing trades for derivative options through a third-party brokerage firm. Ad Deum Funds does not assume discretionary authority for investment planning clients who are not individual asset management clients. If Ad Deum Funds executes trades for derivative options on behalf of asset management clients, we assume discretionary authority over the account for a limited period of time when a client makes such a request. Discretionary authority requires an Investment Advisory Contract on file for each client account.
Ad Deum Funds gathers data regarding a client's particular circumstances to determine a suitable investment. We gather information on the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a third-party, including a third-party broker-dealer.
Financial plans and investment planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning.
Investment planning involves working with clients to make sure their investments match their respective risk tolerance and goals.

Investment planning involves working with clients to make sure their investments match their respective risk tolerance and goals.
- Tax concerns are addressed by working with the client to determine and compare effective tax rates for income, capital gains and other earnings or investments, then attempting to allocate the client’s resources accordingly.
- Life insurance planning entails reviewing the life insurance and/or disability insurance needs of the client, together with any applicable dependents, spouse or other relatives, and assessing appropriate coverage for these individuals.
- College planning entails helping clients save for higher education, whether for the client or his/her children or other dependents, in the ideal manner to suit the client’s overall financial goals and means.
- Financial planning to address retirement entails making sure clients are financially equipped for retirement in light of the client’s anticipated income and expenses, investments, and other assets.
- Debt/credit planning consists of breaking down client budgets and aiding clients in decision-making as to current debt, anticipated significant expenses and potential debt, and avoiding excessive debt.
