About

GCI Financial Group provides asset management and financial planning services to individuals, trusts, pension plans and business entities, managing about $145.1 million for roughly 130 clients through a three-advisor team. The firm offers continuous portfolio supervision and written financial plans covering areas such as retirement, estate, charitable, education, mortgage/debt, insurance analysis and corporate and personal tax planning.

Portfolios are tailored to client goals with quarterly reviews and may be managed on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis; the firm describes using fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis in its investment process. Notably, GCI employs option-writing strategies (covered calls, cash-secured puts and puts to hedge) and trades inverse/leveraged ETFs, and states that derivative instruments are used in separately managed accounts for select clients and typically held only for relatively short periods.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that some representatives are licensed insurance agents who receive customary commissions for insurance sales, a potential conflict the firm says it discloses and seeks to mitigate, and that the firm maintains custodial relationships (including with Charles Schwab) that provide research and execution services. The firm generally requires a $300,000 account minimum (waivable at its discretion) and emphasizes the ability for clients to place reasonable investment restrictions on their portfolios.

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
