Why Gemmer

Since 1992, we have been providing high quality, unbiased investment management services to the local Bay Area community. From our very first day, our focus has been on supporting independent financial advisors and their clients through sound investment strategies, comprehensive back-office support and high levels of personalized service. We pride ourselves on the strength of the partnerships we have with advisors and, in turn, helping them partner successfully with their clients. 

When he decided to open the doors of the firm that bears his name, David Gemmer knew that it was virtually impossible for an advisor to become an expert in everything – portfolio management, estate planning, insurance, marketing, reporting, etc. – and also to give clients the attention they need and deserve. Gemmer’s model, therefore, was to provide a full suite of “outsourced” services for advisors, enabling them to focus on their own clients while growing their businesses. 

Back then, the concept of “outsourcing” asset management services was virtually unheard of. Today, an entire industry has evolved around this business. And as the industry has grown, so too has Gemmer. Today, as a wholly employee-owned firm, we are committed to working with our advisors to provide objective portfolio management and a level of customization not found anywhere else.
