Gabe Nelson Financial, Inc.

The firm serves individual investors (including high-net-worth clients) as well as pension and profit-sharing plans and business entities, offering ongoing portfolio management and financial planning on an hourly or engagement basis. It advises on a range of securities including mutual funds, equities, bonds, ETFs, REITs and government securities, and prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each client to document goals, tax considerations and risk tolerance.

The firm seeks discretionary authority to implement client Investment Policy Statements and employs both fundamental and technical analysis in its asset selection and allocation. Its strategies include long- and short-term trading and options writing (including covered and uncovered positions and spreads), and accounts are reviewed regularly by the firm’s principal with clients receiving at least quarterly reporting from their custodians.

Notable distinctions include managing roughly $91 million of client assets internally without selecting third‑party managers, offering no account minimum, and permitting client‑directed brokerage while recommending specific custodians; the firm also does not take custody of client assets or accept proxy voting. Its use of more active trading techniques and uncovered options is relatively uncommon for a firm of this size and may entail higher transaction costs and greater risk than the buy‑and‑hold approaches used by many peers.
