About Gil Baumgarten:

Gil Baumgarten is a 38-year veteran of the securities and investment industry. After beginning his career at the venerable EF Hutton in the early 1980s, Gil became a top producer for UBS and Smith Barney, what is today Morgan Stanley. However, Gil found Wall Street routinely emphasized its own interests over those of the client. In 2010, Gil left the brokerage world to start Segment, a fee-only firm where the interests of the client could align with the interests of the firm. The Houston Business Journal ranks Segment among the Largest Houston-Area Wealth Management Firms. In 2021, Gil published his first book, FOOLISH: How Investors Get Worked Up and Worked Over by the System.
