About Jerry McIlhon
Jerry serves as an investment advisor at Beck Capital Management (BCM), guiding his clients to their appropriate portfolio type, as well as providing a financial plan that will keep them on track to meet their goals. Jerry joined Frank Beck and his predecessor company, Capital Financial Group, in 1997. Prior to joining Frank, he spent 11 years in the financial services industry. First, managing his own insurance agency, and then as the Area Director of the city of Austins Deferred Compensation Plan. The transition to BCM allowed him to continue serving his client base by shifting the focus to their post-retirement investment and planning needs.

At BCM, we employ an investment philosophy based on Sector Rotation, a strategy that allows us to focus on specific industries while avoiding the sectors of the market that are out of favor. This stands in direct contrast to the cookie-cutter approach of investing in a basket of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The portfolios at BCM are custom-tailored to the individual and are aligned with their specific tolerances to risk and volatility. All investment decisions are made in-house, which avoids the typical layering of investment fees.

There is no doubt that next to marrying his lovely bride of 23 years, Janet, this was easily the best decision he ever made. Besides spending time with Janet and his five grandchildren, Jerry loves exploring the Austin culinary scene and a good round of golf when he can fit one in.

Financial Advice & Consulting
We view every client relationship like a partnership in which we strive to help you analyze your situation and goals, identify opportunities, and then help you implement a plan which secures your retirement, reduces your taxes, thus increasing your wealth and comfort.
Financial Planning for Individuals
Beck Capital Management is committed to acting in our clients' best interest. Registered Investment Advisory firms are held to a "higher standard" than the typical Broker/Dealer. We represent the interests of our clients rather than sell to them. In and of itself, it does not make us better people, but it eliminates most of the usual conflicts of interest.
