"Human creativity produces new enterprises with ideas that can change the world. Our job is to find them. Our clients' more difficult job is to concede to us the freedom and responsibility to take investment risks over many years."
— Richard Gilder (1932 - 2020)
WHAT WE DO
Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co. manages investments for individuals on a discretionary basis. Our clients are diverse in many respects but united in one: they wish for their money to grow significantly and are prepared to take a measure of risk over a number of years.
We focus on individual companies, not markets, and invest based on our own
independent research, relying on fundamentals relating to a particular company and its industry. Our breadth of experiences serves to test each idea from a variety of angles before making the investment and during the many years we may stay with it.

OUR BELIEFS
-
There's no such thing
as a safe stock. -
By taking research-based risks, we can, over the long term, earn above-average returns on investments in common stocks. -
It's a partnership: our job is picking great stocks; our clients' more difficult job is to stay the course. -
Capital growth is achieved only with patience over many years. -
While many investors try to create wealth, few succeed. The rest lose heart.
WHO WE ARE
We are a firm of stock pickers united by our belief in growth investing for the long term. We each have different ways of analyzing companies and managing client accounts,
but we work together to tap the group's diversity of ideas and opinions.
Although we share information, we often don't invest in the same stocks or at the same time. In fact, we occasionally find ourselves on opposite sides of a security.
While each account manager is responsible for his or her own investment decisions,
we are aided by our analyst colleagues who scour the market for growth opportunities; our account managers who help execute our investment programs and help clients;
and our traders who connect us to the markets.
GGHC is member of NYSE Euronext, FINRA and SIPC and is a SEC Registered
