Independent Wealth Management. Done Right.

Gold Coast Capital Management provides personalized, independent wealth management for individuals and families seeking disciplined investing, lower costs, and direct access to an experienced advisor.

We keep it simple: one transparent annual fee of 0.50%, no hidden costs, no proprietary products, and no conflicts of interest.

Your portfolio is built around your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and tax situation — and managed directly by Dragan Mark Filipovic, CFA.

  • Not a call center.
  • Not a rotating team.
  • You.
