Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Gerald Baker Financial Group, L.L.C., operating as Baker Financial Services, is an independent registered investment adviser led by Gerald Baker. The firm serves both high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients, offering financial planning and discretionary portfolio management for individuals, small businesses and larger institutions. Registered with the SEC since 1999, the adviser favors fixed-income solutions as the core of its portfolios, with a clear tilt toward municipal (state and local) bonds. The firm is not an ESG investor and is not positioned as a multi-state adviser or a capital allocator; it combines percentage-of-AUM billing with hourly and fixed-fee options depending on the client engagement. Strategically, the firm uses separately managed accounts and traditional advisory structures to implement client mandates. It has an industry affiliation with a broker-dealer, and custody is consolidated at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., which houses the firm’s advisory assets. Investment decision-making prioritizes income generation and capital preservation through bond allocations, while supplementing core holdings with third‑party alternative managers in select areas.
