About

Gainplan LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, pension and corporate clients, delivering asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, financial planning and business consulting. Consistent with many team firms, it offers discretionary portfolio management billed on a percentage‑of‑AUM basis and conducts periodic financial planning and account reviews.

The firm describes a factor‑based, top‑down investment process that blends tactical and strategic asset‑allocation models and employs ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities and, in its active models, leveraged ETFs, options and other derivatives to manage exposure. Gainplan also engages third‑party sub‑advisers for implementation on certain accounts and generally reviews managed portfolios at least quarterly.

Several features in the brochure distinguish Gainplan from many peers: an affiliated legal practice (the firm’s chief compliance officer is a licensed attorney who may provide estate‑planning and contract services through a separate law firm engagement), explicit disclosure of relationships with preferred service providers and lead‑generation platforms, and clear disclosure of the firm’s use of derivatives, swaps and crypto‑linked products in certain strategies. The brochure also documents operational policies intended to limit oversight risk, such as a stated practice to liquidate qualified accounts upon the death of the primary account holder.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
