The Set of Books

FOUR LEDGERS,
ONE DESK.

Financial work divides cleanly into four books: capital dealt as principal, money advised and managed, assets held in trust, and the market plumbing — clearing, transfer, quotation — underneath it all. DIEM MAI keeps the full set.

BOOK I · THE DEALING DESK

Principal Dealing & Speculation

Own-account investing, royalties and lease dealing, mortgage and tax-lien dealing, securities speculation, venture capital and viatical settlements — capital placed as principal, not advice.

Folio entries →
BOOK II · THE FUNDS DESK

Advisory & Fund Management

Customized financial planning and investment advice for a fee, plus management of investment, mutual, pension, portfolio, private-equity and personal-trust funds.

Folio entries →
BOOK III · THE TRUST DESK

Trust & Fiduciary Administration

Personal investment trust administration, estate administration, escrow and fiduciary agencies, securities custody, bank trust offices and nondepository trust companies.

Folio entries →
BOOK IV · THE EXCHANGE DESK

Market Services

Clearinghouses, securities and stock transfer agencies, quotation services, holders' protective committees, deposit and lease brokers, crowdfunding fundraising and virtual-currency clearing.

The Method

HOW ENTRIES
GET POSTED.

Every engagement at the house follows the same posting discipline — write it, verify it, settle it, archive it.

ENTRY 01

Engage

Scope, duty and compensation are set in a written engagement — advisory, fiduciary or dealing — before capital moves.

ENTRY 02

Verify

Licensing, registration, suitability and compliance checks are posted against the account before work begins.

ENTRY 03

Settle

Fees, distributions, transfers and reports are settled on schedule, with statements the client keeps.

ENTRY 04

Archive

Records are held for the retention periods that trust, tax and securities rules require.

Why a Counting House

BUILT FOR
THE LONG ACCOUNT.

Dealing desks chase quarters; a counting house keeps decades. DIEM MAI was built so principal positions, managed funds, trust assets and market operations all post to one set of books — where every entry has a counterparty, a basis and a balance.

From the desk in Cleveland, Ohio, we hold the four books together so a client, a beneficiary or a counterparty always knows which ledger their account sits in — and that it balances.
