Gateway Advisors, LLC

Gateway Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management and consulting primarily for institutional and pooled clients, including pension plans, Taft‑Hartley plans, endowments, foundations, mutual funds, private investment funds and other U.S. and international institutions. The firm also manages assets held in variable annuity and variable life insurance vehicles and describes its services as active management across equities, bonds and pooled investment products.

The firm’s investment process combines technical and fundamental analysis, using market charts and firm-derived technical signals alongside company financial analysis to guide trading decisions. Accounts are monitored continuously with weekly reviews of individual investments and quarterly reviews of overall positions; the firm states it will exit to money market instruments when its discipline indicates doing so and does not recommend inverse or leveraged ETFs.

Notable operational disclosures in the brochure include that the adviser’s principal also sells insurance products and may receive commissions from those sales, a potential conflict the firm says it mitigates through transparency and client disclosure. The brochure also explains operational arrangements such as the adviser’s ability to have advisory fees charged through mutual fund and variable contract companies (constructive custody), a policy of not voting client proxies, and a practice of not aggregating trade orders.
