Gunderson Capital Management Joins GCG Advisory Partners Platform

GCG Advisory Partners ("GCG"), parent company of GCG Wealth Management, announced that Gunderson Capital Management, an independent, nationally-recognized RIA firm based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, with over $420 million in AUM, has joined its platform.

Bill Gunderson, president and chief executive officer, will join GCG as an operating and equity partner.

As part of the transaction, Gunderson Capital will gain access to GCG's advanced technology platform, operational support, and dedicated growth capital.

This partnership establishes GCG's fee-only, pure RIA channel. Gunderson Capital has built a differentiated brand centered on research-driven, growth-oriented investment management.

Gunderson Capital serves clients across the country, guided by a fiduciary commitment to protecting and growing client wealth across generations.

Officials said Gunderson's national media presence and marketing expertise is a valuable organic growth engine for Gunderson Capital.

They said Gunderson has strategically built his presence across high impact channels:

• Host of the nationally syndicated Best Stocks Now Radio Hour, which broadcasts every market morning;

• Founder and owner of the Best Stocks Now app, which serves investors and advisors;

• Frequent guest on Fox News, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and national talk radio shows;
  regular contributor to financial news publications, such as Dow Jones MarketWatch, Seeking Alpha, and TheStreet.com; and

• Three-time Best Columnist of the Year award recipient (San Diego Press Club / Society of Professional Journalism).

Officials said this partnership is indicative of GCG's core strategy of achieving mutual success by partnering with advisors who are demonstrating organic growth, then bolstering that growth with the infrastructure, capital, and resources of an enterprise platform.

The officials also said this partnership demonstrates GCG's commitment to helping advisors implement a thoughtful succession framework that supports the long-term preservation of the firm's legacy.

Gunderson Capital will keep its existing brand, and its team will continue to manage day-to-day operations. Terms of the transaction weren't disclosed.
