Founder and CEO, Gil Baumgarten, is a 41-year veteran of the investment industry. After beginning his career at EF Hutton in the early 1980s, Gil became a top producer for UBS and Smith Barney, what is today Morgan Stanley. However, Gil found that Wall Street routinely emphasized its own interests over the clients. In 2010, Gil left the brokerage world to start Segment Wealth Management, a fiduciary firm where the interests of the client and the firm could align. Gil is a multi-year recipient of the "Top 1,200 Financial Advisors in America" distinction by Barron’s, where he also ranked in the Top 20 Advisors in Texas. In 2019, Gil was named one of "America’s Top-20 Thought Leaders" on the topic of Exchange Traded Funds by Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal. The Houston Business Journal included Gil among the "Most Admired CEOs in Houston" in 2022. In 2021, Gil launched his first book on investing titled, “FOOLI$H: How investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over By the System,” which hit Best Seller status on Amazon.
