About
GC Alternative Management, LLC provides investment counsel and portfolio management to individual clients as well as investment companies, trusts and corporations, and reports a meaningful client base located outside the United States. Services are organized into three programs — Investment, Income and Trading — delivered under a wrap-fee arrangement with fees charged as a percentage of assets under management.
The firm pursues absolute-return oriented strategies with an emphasis on liquidity, investing primarily in liquid “plain vanilla” instruments (equities, bonds, preferreds, currencies, commodities, futures and options) and expressly avoiding illiquid or exotic structured products. Portfolio decisions are implemented on a non‑discretionary basis with client approval before execution, relying on both fundamental and technical information analysis, and monthly performance reporting with custody and execution provided through Interactive Brokers.
Noteworthy differences from many peers include sponsorship of a formal wrap-fee program and the availability of performance-based fees for qualified investors in its Income and Trading programs (a 20% fee subject to a 1‑year U.S. Treasury hurdle, a 3% minimum yield and a high‑water mark). The combination of a significant non‑U.S. client presence, acceptance of institutional clients, and primarily non‑discretionary account management distinguishes the firm from a typical small independent adviser.

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.
