Gibbens Capital Management

Gibbens Capital Management serves individual and high-net-worth clients, offering discretionary wealth management alongside standalone financial planning engagements. The firm operates on a fee-only basis and provides ongoing portfolio supervision across stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and municipal and government securities, with written financial plans available at a client’s election.

Investment decisions draw on a mix of fundamental, technical, macroeconomic and thematic analysis and may combine passive (asset-class) and active manager approaches. Portfolio construction emphasizes underlying holdings, liquidity, tax efficiency and strategic/smart‑beta factors, with a general preference for multi-year holdings while permitting short-term trades when warranted and accommodating reasonable client-imposed restrictions in writing.

The adviser is recently established and very small by regulatory metrics—managing roughly $15.6 million for a very limited client base under a single-advisor structure—which produces an atypically concentrated practice compared with peers. Notable operational features include a requirement that client accounts be custodied at the firm’s recommended broker-dealer, the firm’s policy not to vote client proxies (clients retain that authority), and oversight by a principal who holds the CFA charter and has prior institutional investment experience.
