About
Golden Gate Advisors, Inc. is a family-office registered investment adviser that serves accredited, high‑net‑worth individuals and their related entities, including pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable institutions, corporations and other business entities. The firm provides private financial planning and wealth management along with ERISA 3(21)/3(38) investment supervisory services for qualified retirement plans, participant advice, IRA and individual account services, sub‑advisory arrangements, and project‑based consulting.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes a core‑satellite, active/passive multi‑manager framework using equities, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, alternative investments and income‑producing real estate, with asset‑class positions typically held for a year or longer. Golden Gate constructs risk‑based allocation models, conducts manager due diligence and prepares investment policy statements, and it can provide both discretionary and nondiscretionary management and periodic rebalancing depending on client agreements.
A notable feature of the firm is its mix of plan‑level and advisor‑to‑advisor activity: it provides sub‑advisory services to other advisers and negotiates shareholder servicing (12b‑1) fees to credit back to qualified plans. The brochure also discloses that some employees are California‑licensed real estate brokers and insurance agents who may earn commissions on transactions (including real estate and annuity recommendations), and the firm states steps it takes to disclose and mitigate those potential 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.
