GEM Street Capital Management

The firm provides ongoing portfolio management to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, documenting each client’s goals, tax considerations, and risk tolerance in an Investment Policy Statement and managing accounts on a discretionary basis. Client accounts are custodied through Schwab Institutional and clients receive regular reports from the custodian.

The firm combines multiple analysis methods — including charting, cyclical, fundamental, quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory — and implements a range of strategies from long‑term investing to short‑term trading, options, short sales and margin transactions. It generally seeks discretionary trading authority and monitors accounts at least quarterly, adjusting portfolios to the client’s documented risk profile.

Noteworthy for a solo independent adviser, the firm’s principal maintains an active accounting practice (a licensed CPA) and discloses that outside activity and related conflicts of interest; clients are not required to use those accounting services. The firm’s use of borrowing and margin in client accounts and its routine use of leveraged strategies such as options and short sales distinguish it from many peers in the independent‑adviser category.
