Helping clients grow AUM in a “digital first” world

OUR BEGINNINGS

A simple mission

GK3 Capital Founder and CEO, John Gulino, has dedicated his entire career to asset management distribution. He’s held nearly every seat in the industry, from external wholesaler and road warrior to running an internal sales desk for one of the world’s largest fund managers. He’s supervised sales teams and served at the top ranks of executive leadership.

Before founding GK3 Capital, John was recruited to serve as Executive Vice President of a well-known financial technology company. His mission: build a consulting business dedicated to helping asset managers accelerate growth through the power of data. Every client—big, small and in between—was struggling with the same challenges:

  • Advisors no longer answered the phone
  • Wholesalers couldn’t get appointments
  • Competition was fierce
  • Fee compression was the norm
  • The cost of raising capital was rising
  • Margins were squeezed

Solving his client’s challenges became his new mission, and the mission of GK3 Capital.

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT

We speak two languages: digital and distribution

At GK3 Capital, our team is fluent in digital and financial services distribution. We combine long experience and deep expertise in finance and all things digital.

We’re uniquely qualified. Our team has raised capital for registered funds and private funds, traditional and alternative strategies, real estate programs and mutual funds, retirement products, private equity and venture capital. We’ve learned first hand how to raise capital from across the major distribution channels: wirehouses, independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, banks and trust companies, retirement plan and insurance advisors, consultants, institutions, and direct to investors. We unite distribution expertise with digital excellence encompassing sales and marketing automation, sales coaching, sales enablement, SEO, content strategy, design, website engineering, digital advertising, email marketing, CRM and database management, and more.

Over the last 6 years, we have partnered with asset managers, wealth managers, fintech firms, and TAMPs seeking to master digital distribution. Our clients collectively manage tens of billions of dollars and raise billions more each year. We continually refine our process as we help our clients compete and grow amidst accelerating change.
