Overview

Bahl & Gaynor LLC is an independent registered investment adviser organized as an LLC and operating since at least 1990. The firm acts as a capital allocator for both high-net-worth individuals and families as well as institutional clients, charging a mix of percentage-of-AUM and fixed fees. Its advisory services span financial planning, discretionary portfolio management across individuals, small businesses, investment companies and institutions, manager selection, and investor education through publications and workshops. The firm identifies equities as its primary preference rather than ESG-driven mandates. External recognition includes listings in CNBC’s Top 100 Financial Advisory Firms (2019), FA Magazine’s Top RIA Firms (2020), and Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms for 2021 through 2024.
