Decades of Investment Management

At The Gorton Wealth Management group, we are committed to excellence in providing wealth planning and investment management to our clients. As a client, we know it’s important to have a relationship with an advisor that goes beyond just managing your money. You need a team of knowledgeable professionals who are personally responsible for helping you manage your financial life - not just for today, but for the decades ahead.

Investment Approach

We believe in owning individual stocks and are classically trained in evaluating and managing them. We favor the ability to offer more control over capital gains and losses, and, because of our long holding period, we consider them a cost efficient option.

1. The core of our portfolio is made up of companies from the Wells Fargo Advisors Diversified Stock Income Plan (DSIP), which includes companies that pay reasonable dividends, have raised them regularly, and have a strong, growing cash flow to fund dividend increases.

2. In addition, we buy companies that may not necessarily pay dividends, but are undervalued in our estimation relative to peers and/or may be growing faster than the rest of the economy.

3. Exposure to other asset classes, such as international, emerging, small cap and bond markets, is achieved through the various investments offered through Wells Fargo Advisors.
