About Us

What makes us unique? In some investment firms, commissions are accepted
by the investment manager for sales of particular products, making it
problematic to obtain reliable, unbiased service. In contrast, Gilliland
Investment Management provides fee-based portfolio management services.
Our fees are based on assets under management, not how many trades we
make.

As a fee-based independent advisor, we derive our income from one advisory
fee- a sliding- scale percentage- based on the size of your managed account.
We collect this fee on a quarterly basis. Being independent, all our research
is done in house utilizing expert advise. This allows us to pass the savings
on to you. The customer is our most important asset.

Our investment philosophy is one of balance. We believe the use of asset
allocation strategies is the wisest approach to try to conserve assets and
maximize their growth. Our business is the careful crafting of
customized diversified investment plans. We design each plan to achieve
an appropriate balance considering the individual risk tolerance, liquidity
needs and short- and long- term goals of our clients.

Our Diversified Portfolio Management Services Are Based
On Four Model Portfolios:

		Conservative - capital preservation and moderate
		growth (40% equities and 60% fixed income or cash)
		Balanced - for a combination of income and capital
		growth (60% equities and 40% fixed income or cash)
		Growth - higher returns with moderate risk we use the
		Standard and Poor's model (65% equities and 35% fixed income or cash)
		Aggressive Growth - the highest returns,
		accompanied by higher risk (100% equities)

Our mission is to provide each client
with a comprehensive investment
strategy tailored to his or her
individual financial circumstances,
and to recommend appropriate
investment vehicles based upon that
strategy. Once investments are
placed, we carefully monitor the
markets on a daily basis and make
adjustments to try to maximize the
client's portfolio performance.
