About

Galvin, Gaustad & Stein (GGS) is a registered investment adviser that provides financial planning, retirement plan consulting and portfolio management to individuals, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans and other business entities. The firm manages roughly $1.35 billion in client assets and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary services as well as standalone or bundled financial planning engagements.

GGS uses a proprietary, fundamentally driven security‑selection process that combines quantitative screening, discounted cash‑flow valuation and deep qualitative company analysis, and it constructs model portfolios including a long‑term “dynamic growth” strategy that may include small‑ and mid‑cap stocks, ADRs, options, ETFs and mutual funds. The firm also discloses the use of AI tools and, where appropriate, selects independent managers as part of its research, due diligence and portfolio implementation processes.

Noteworthy operational features include GGS’s role as sponsor and manager of a wrap fee program and its participation in the Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions referral program, arrangements the firm discloses involve solicitation/referral fees and other economic benefits from custodians. The firm also maintains legacy client groups acquired from other advisers under differing bundled fee arrangements and receives custodial software, support and other non‑monetary benefits that it discloses as potential conflicts to clients.

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
