INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dave Gilreath and Ron Brock left the world of traditional investing and started their own shop just six weeks after the attacks on 9/11/2001. Twenty years later, during a global pandemic, these two self-described "odd investors" are going stronger than ever. By doing things differently.
Sheaff Brock Chief Investment Officer Gilreath acknowledged, "It was an auspicious start, to say the least, after the market tanked after 9/11... but we knew we had a truly innovative approach to investment and money management."
Chief Operating Officer Brock admits, "We were definitely innovative by launching our own RIA (Registered Investment Advisory) at that time, plus converting from commission-based to a fee-only structure." TD Waterhouse, later TD Ameritrade, initially provided custodial services for Sheaff Brock and their clients, and has been by their side ever since as the firm grew to almost $1.3 billion in assets under management as of 9/30/21.
Sporting the company mantle of "Innovative Portfolios for the Intelligent Investor," Sheaff Brock focuses on income-generation and/or growth through equity portfolios, option overlays, money management services, and mutual fund strategies. They currently offer two of their own investment funds which, after almost three years in existence, have been top performers. The Sheaff Brock team offers nine proprietary portfolio strategies and manages customer accounts on a discretionary basis for growth, growth and income, income only, or blended portfolios to achieve client goals.
Gilreath prides himself on new and innovative ideas for products and services to offer. Currently, he and Brock are preparing to launch both a private fund and an offshore fund based in Ireland for international distribution, starting with Sweden and Great Britain. "I definitely have other ideas that I'm saving to spring on the team next year," Gilreath admits. "Sheaff Brock will always continue to offer innovative and atypical investment opportunities for clients, just like we have for our first 20 years."
