The Friedkin Group (TFG) will only consider splashing the cash in January if Everton are at risk of Premier League relegation.
That is according to former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that the American owners will be reluctant to invest more than they have to.
Many at the Hill Dickinson Stadium feel that David Moyes has been left in the dark by TFG, who are already seeking a way out this season.
After beating them in the Carabao Cup, Everton must face Newcastle United again on Monday, 2 November. Right now, they're floating around mid-table.
Performances have been impressive, but the Toffees have drawn far too many games so far, which could be a result of the squad being too small.
TFG would only invest to avoid relegation trouble
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson admitted that, while good-value additions are possible, fans shouldn't be holding their breathe for any major signings.
"Especially in the scenario where the side is doing fine. If they were in relegation trouble, that would be a different matter, but they're not. In some ways, the season is going quite well.
"Well, I think it is going quite well, especially after this week's win in the Carabao Cup and the draw that they got. I don't think they will spend big in January.
"That's for sure. Now, I'm not saying they won't tweak the squad. They may well do. Certainly, if they can find value, I'm sure they will consider it."
Everton fans make their feelings known on Merseyside
Despite a positive start to the new campaign, fans have made it clear that the current situation simply isn't good enough for a club of Everton's size.
Thierno Barry is Moyes' only striker option right now, and while his form has turned a corner, he is having to play nearly every minute.
The Toffees clearly need investment in several different areas of the pitch, but the manager is unlikely to see those fixed under these owners.
It doesn't make sense for TFG to continue pouring money into the club while they're trying to sell, but it is set to cause a fan protest at Manchester United versus Roma.
