This "News & Commentary" column analyzes the current economic and investment landscape and presents unusual investment ideas few people know about or have considered.

Achieving higher returns with lower risk…



Providing a range of services to meet your individual needs…


Just as no two people are alike, no two portfolios should be alike. By tailoring investment portfolios to the needs and risk tolerance of our individual clients, we help them reach their goals without having to sacrifice a sense of security about their finances. In an investment world where money managers constantly look over their shoulders and stick with popular consensus, where investment advisors follow the herd and fear independent thought, and where original ideas are rarely presented to investors, Malcolm H. Gissen & Associates is a very unusual firm. We seek long-term client relationships and relish the trust that our clients place in us to help them attain their financial goals. While risk-adverse and sensitive to client risk tolerance, we are that rare company that continually seeks and finds top-flight investment opportunities that are off the beaten track.

We try to provide our clients with consistently better investment returns than can be found in equity indices – and with less risk. How have we done that?
  • by diversifying portfolios far more than most investment advisors
  • by developing our own investment ideas through independent research
  • by having the confidence to challenge popular thinking and go against the grain when we disagree with consensus opinion
  • by taking the time to review a wider variety of investments than our industry colleagues
  • by having the self-discipline to adhere to the standards we establish
At Malcolm H. Gissen & Associates we’ve been helping affluent investors reach their goals for nearly 20 years. Along with our core business of independent money management, we are able to offer our clients a wide variety of unique investment opportunities.
