About

Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co. provides discretionary portfolio management to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans, managing separately managed accounts and a retirement-only wrap-fee program. The firm acts as both a registered investment adviser and a broker-dealer and introduces client brokerage accounts to a clearing broker for custody and trade settlement.

GGHC pursues an active, growth-oriented equity strategy managed by multiple independent portfolio managers who have full trading discretion; managers may trade frequently and use margin, short sales and limited options or fixed‑income exposure in non‑retirement accounts. Because managers operate independently, client accounts can hold materially different positions (including opposing long and short positions), and turnover and trading activity are generally high.

What distinguishes GGHC from many large enterprise advisers is its broker-dealer activity and the use of transaction-based commissions on non‑retirement accounts rather than fixed fees, together with participation in securities lending and revenue‑sharing arrangements with its clearing broker. The firm also discloses a prior SEC enforcement action in 2020 relating to supervisory deficiencies and document handling and reports subsequent procedural updates and periodic reviews to address those matters.
