About

Gainplan LLC serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), employer retirement plans, trusts and business entities with a mix of discretionary asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting and business consulting services. The firm’s written offerings include investment portfolios built from individual securities, mutual funds, ETFs and other public and private investments, as well as business valuation, succession planning and other corporate consulting deliverables.

The firm’s investment process is top‑down and factor‑driven, combining economic, fundamental, valuation, sentiment, technical and cyclical analysis to generate strategic and tactical allocations and to set risk profiles. Portfolios are implemented mainly through broad‑based ETFs and mutual funds, and the firm’s tactical models may use leveraged ETFs, options and other derivatives and are actively rebalanced based on proprietary model outputs.

Noteworthy features include an affiliation with a law practice that offers separate estate and contract law services to clients, a disclosure uncommon among peer teams, and explicit use of derivatives and leveraged instruments in certain separately managed and tactical accounts. The firm also maintains a firm policy to liquidate qualified accounts upon the death of the primary accountholder, and it uses third‑party lead‑generation and preferred‑provider referral arrangements.
