Combined Years of Advisor Experience
Meet the team
Our Advisor Partners
Our distinguished founder and president Steve Barban has been providing advisory services to his clientele since 1988. As the creator and author of the proprietary Gentry Capital Investment Theory, Steve believes firmly in a disciplined approach to investment management. He will not subject his clientele to the fancies of passing fads nor does he take on any undue risk with his client’s portfolios. He does; however, believe in uncovering creative solutions for his clientele, sometimes hiding in plain view. Therefore, his Un-Common Sense Investment Theory approach assures his clients of just such a solution – one that, by law, cannot be replicated elsewhere in Canada as it is protected by copyright. While Steve leads the team, he has selected carefully to ensure that the advisor partners invited to join Gentry Capital have a similar ‘client-first’ philosophy.
