About
Gaines Capital Management provides financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, and hourly consulting to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and small businesses, and offers integrated service packages that may combine investment management with financial planning. As of December 31, 2025, the firm reported $6,840,228 in discretionary assets and states it does not require a minimum account size.
The firm’s investment process relies on fundamental analysis and emphasizes strategic asset allocation using ETFs and individual equities, with a long-term holding orientation and periodic rebalancing. Gaines Capital also uses proprietary model portfolios and offers customized solutions, and may incorporate options, REITs, private equity for qualified clients, and structured notes when appropriate.
What is notable in the firm’s disclosures is participation in the Impact Partnership Wealth wrap fee program, where the firm receives economic benefits and a portion of wrap fees—an arrangement the brochure identifies as creating potential conflicts of interest that are disclosed and managed. The principal also operates an affiliated insurance agency, GCM Wealthshield LLC, and the ADV notes this insurance activity represents a substantial portion of his time and income; the brochure describes disclosure and mitigation measures for related conflicts.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
