About

Iron Gate Global Advisors serves individual investors (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, and employer-sponsored retirement plans, offering discretionary and non-discretionary asset management, comprehensive portfolio management that combines financial planning and investment oversight, retirement plan consulting, and standalone financial planning or consulting. The firm reports both model portfolios and tailored strategies to align with clients’ goals and risk tolerances.

The investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and a business-owner orientation—screening for durable competitive advantages, evaluating management, and seeking intrinsic-value discounts—combined with a suite of model allocations. The brochure describes an options overlay used for income (typically on less than 10% of equity holdings), occasional directional options trades, and the firm’s willingness to use margin/borrowing in client accounts, with specific restrictions on certain retirement accounts.

What differentiates the firm from many peers is its explicit disclosure of derivatives and borrowing practices for separately managed accounts (including detailed options and margin policies in Item 8), and the fact that some representatives are licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions for insurance sales (a disclosed conflict of interest in Item 10). The brochure also notes that the firm advertises performance results and requires higher account minimums for certain complex options strategies, practices that are less common among comparable team firms.
