About

Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co. provides discretionary portfolio management to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans, managing separately managed accounts and a retirement-only wrap-fee program. The firm acts as both a registered investment adviser and a broker-dealer and introduces client brokerage accounts to a clearing broker for custody and trade settlement.

GGHC pursues an active, growth-oriented equity strategy managed by multiple independent portfolio managers who have full trading discretion; managers may trade frequently and use margin, short sales and limited options or fixed‑income exposure in non‑retirement accounts. Because managers operate independently, client accounts can hold materially different positions (including opposing long and short positions), and turnover and trading activity are generally high.

What distinguishes GGHC from many large enterprise advisers is its broker-dealer activity and the use of transaction-based commissions on non‑retirement accounts rather than fixed fees, together with participation in securities lending and revenue‑sharing arrangements with its clearing broker. The firm also discloses a prior SEC enforcement action in 2020 relating to supervisory deficiencies and document handling and reports subsequent procedural updates and periodic reviews to address those matters.

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.
