About

First Georgetown Securities is a small, dual-registered firm that provides discretionary portfolio management primarily to individual clients and some institutional accounts. It manages separate accounts using growth, growth-and-income, and income strategies under written agreements that set client objectives and limitations.

The firm uses a tactical allocation approach informed by both fundamental and technical analysis, with benchmarks such as the S&P 500 for growth and the U.S. 10‑year Treasury for income portfolios. Portfolios may include treasury and corporate bonds, common and preferred stocks, mutual funds, option hedging, occasional short selling, and cash positions; accounts are monitored at least weekly and executed through National Financial Services with custodial statements provided by third-party custodians.

Distinctive features include its dual role as a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser, with certain advisory personnel also acting as registered representatives who may receive commission-based compensation and for which the firm discloses mitigation measures. The firm is long-established (in business since 1975), operates with a small team and roughly $101.7 million in AUM, and discloses a limited regulatory history and a 1999 settled client claim in its brochure.
