Mark Gillam Enterprises

The firm provides portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting and a range of ancillary services including bill-pay, bookkeeping and concierge services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension plans and charitable organizations. It operates a small advisory team managing about $210 million in client assets across roughly 108 client relationships.

MGE describes a long‑term, IPS‑driven investment approach that relies on fundamental research and third‑party sources (including Morningstar) and tailors plans to client goals and risk tolerance. The firm typically manages accounts on a non‑discretionary basis—separately reporting roughly $202.7 million as non‑discretionary and $7.6 million as discretionary (as of 12/31/2025)—and uses Schwab and third‑party managers via Schwab’s platforms when applicable; review frequency ranges from daily for bookkeeping clients to at least semi‑annual for others.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include brokerage and referral activity outside pure advisory services: the firm’s representatives are licensed to sell insurance, to participate in real estate brokerage, and to refer mortgage business, and the firm may receive commissions or referral fees for those services. The firm also structures business‑management arrangements for some seasonal high‑income clients and retains custody for certain bill‑pay bank accounts—circumstances the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest and that differ from many peers.
