Client Profile
The Jockey Club is the breed registry for Thoroughbred horses in the United
States, Canada and Puerto Rico. It is dedicated to the improvement of
Thoroughbred breeding and racing and fulfills that mandate by serving many
segments of the industry through its subsidiary companies and by supporting
numerous industry initiatives. The Club, formed on February 9, 1894, is the
keeper of the American Stud Book. It came into existence after James R.
Keene spearheaded a drive in support of racehorse trainers who had
complained about the Board of Control that governed racing in New York
State.
The Jockey Club is the registry for all Thoroughbred horses in the United
States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and maintains offices in New York City and
Lexington, Kentucky. The Registry maintained by The Jockey Club, called the
American Stud Book, dates back to the club's founding and contains the
descendants of those horses listed, as well as horses imported into North
America up to the present. Participants in the Registry program agree to
allow the Registry to conduct genetic testing to verify parentage as well as
arbitrating any disputes between owners. The Jockey Club has taken the
position that it will not allow cloned Thoroughbreds to be registered in the
American Stud Book, making it impossible for such horses to compete in most
races. The Club has consistently prohibited artificial insemination
throughout its history, only allowing the registration of horses born
through "natural" procreation. The current officers are:
James Gagliano, President & COO
Matt F. Iuliano, Executive Vice President & Executive Director
Laura Barillaro, Executive Vice President & CFO
This client has had a long standing relationship with Deutsche Bank since
March 1976 and was previously managed by Terri Sohrab and then Michael
Mullin before Stewart Oldfield took over in Nov. 2017. They currently have
over 20 deposit accounts and 4 brokerage accounts with current AUMs of
approximately $60mm. They also have a long standing banking relationship at
EFTA01433916
JP Morgan Chase. The main point of contact for this relationship is Laura
Barillaro.
Opportunities and Challenges
We are in the process of completing a full review of this account and see
several opportunities for new business. For the most part, they have had a
fairly static investment portfolio since 2008/2009 and use DB deposits for
some operational accounts.
The primary objectives of the client are capital preservation and yield.
Given the turmoil of 2008/2009 when the current asset allocation was set,
their current investments are more conservative than they need to be. In
the initial meeting between Laura Barillaro and Stewart Oldfield, two main
portfolio adjustments were discussed:
First, we plan to improve the efficiency of their cash and near cash assets
which are used to fund Jockey Club operations. We expect to move cash
deposits from DBTCA to DBNY. We also hope to reallocate funds from Treasury
money markets to DBNY deposits. For cash that can be tied up a bit longer
to generate more yield, we will recommend a combination of DBNY CDs and
RCM. As part of this exercise, we will work with Laura (who serves as
Treasurer and primary decision maker for this piece) to determine how much
cash will be allocated between the short term (0-1m maturity) and more
intermediate term (2-12m maturity) buckets.
The second topic of discussion will be focused more on investments for
assets that are not operational and more endowment-like. We currently have
some longer-dated fixed income funds and international ETFs in a brokerage
portfolio, but we don't believe the portfolio has been optimized to meet the
client's objectives and not has not been reviewed recently as far as we
know. This portion of the portfolio is not controlled by Laura, although
she is one of three people on the firm's investment committee. The other
two are the CEO and a board member who is affiliated with Bessemer Trust.
After having an initial discussion with Laura in NY in February as part of
the cash review, we will meet with the investment team in Lexington, KY to
pitch a more dynamic investment strategy for the longer term assets.
Challenges here are having a client that isn't overly sophisticated and with
whom we have not had a consistent investment dialog. However, we have a
strong and long standing relationship to build from.
