About
Gilbert & Cook, Inc. serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, corporations and employer retirement plans, offering financial planning and consulting, investment advisory and portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, and private wealth services. The firm also operates wrap‑fee platforms and accepts ERISA fiduciary roles for plan consulting engagements.
The firm delivers individualized advice grounded in household‑level asset allocation, employing a mix of active and passive strategies across equities, fixed income, real estate instruments and alternative investments, and conducts periodic account reviews for advisory clients. For private and alternative investments Gilbert & Cook performs separate due‑diligence reviews and provides distinct disclosures and implementation options when those opportunities are offered to clients.
Distinctive features include an affiliation with a third‑party insurance platform (DPL) and the fact that several representatives are licensed insurance agents, which the firm discloses can produce commission compensation and which it says it manages through internal procedures. The firm also separates its financial planning engagements from ongoing advisory services—financial planning clients do not automatically receive ongoing account reviews or monitoring unless they engage the firm for follow‑up services.

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.
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
