Firm History
Founded in 1983 by Charles and Ted Gill, Gill Capital Partners has been reinvented
through the vision and commitment of current principals James O'Brien and John
Winslow.
Formerly known as Gill & Associates,
the company got its start in 1983 under the direction and
leadership of Charles Gill. Filled with entrepreneurial spirit
after more than 25 years working as a broker in the downtown
Denver offices of Boettcher and Company, Gill decided to
open his own business.
Less than a year later, Gill & Associates
entered into an investment advisory relationship with the
Independent State Bank of Colorado (ISBC), a banker's bank
formed by eighty-five of the state's independent banks. Through
ISBC, Gill & Associates managed bank portfolios with
combined assets over $500 million — their foray into what's
now known as Institutional Services. In May 1991, the company
parted ways with ISBC, but today remains active with the
Independent Bankers of Colorado. Colorado community banks
have grown accustomed to Gill & Associates' unparalleled
service.
In 1988, under the leadership of Charles'
son, Ted Gill, Gill & Associates formed and became the
Investment Advisor/Administrator for CSAFE, a local government
investment pool for Colorado government entities. The highly
regarded Standard and Poor's fund profile cited CSAFE's
"credit quality, market price exposure and management,
together with its conservative investment practices and strict
external controls", as the basis for issuing its rating
of AAAm. Gill & Associates managed this trust for 12
years before the management contract was sold in 2000.
Ted Gill retired in 2004, having sold the
firm to James O'Brien and John Winslow of O'Brien Capital
Management, a wealth management company. In December 2005,
Gill & Associates and O'Brien Capital Management formally
merged to become Gill Capital Partners, Inc.
