Why do investors hold NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) shares and speculate in OTC (Over-the-Counter) shares? The basic answer is that NYSE companies have stronger fundamentals and often pay stock dividends. The GVIC has solved the fundamental asset issue by requiring that our members’ investments be limited to companies with assets and revenues. However, the GVIC companies NEVER intend to pay dividends. They will reinvest their profits into expansion of their company to achieve their exit strategy. We make our fortunes when our companies sell at Market Capitalization.

The NYSE Company may pay an annual dividend of forty-cents per share. If an investor owns 1,000 shares of this NYSE Company, they will receive a $400 stock dividend. After State and Federal income taxes, they will have an extra $250 to spend.

The GVIC client companies offer a different approach to paying investors to keep their stock. It’s a tax-free strategy. It encourages shareholders to register their shares and thus remove them from use by short sellers.

Our Companies pay to have an interactive website that offers registered shareholders massive discounts on everything from airfare and cruises to cars and yachts. A registered shareholder in any of the companies that GVIC funds can go to this website and save hundreds or thousands of dollars every year by simply being a registered shareholder of any of the companies that GVIC has funded. Instead of earning $250/year in dividends, the registered shareholders save at least hundreds of dollars annually. As savings, the money earned isn’t taxable. The website offers the lowest prices on many items that Accredited Investors regularly purchase.

As a GVIC member, you will be able to use this Shareholder Benefits Website and easily recover your costs of annual membership. This benefit alone justifies joining GVIC. All that is required is that you work within the GVIC Membership Rules and build a $200,000/year Stock Portfolio.
