About GillenMarkets
GillenMarkets is a stockmarket subscription service providing online independent investment advice. We provide you with the tools needed to be a Do-It-Yourself (D-I-Y) investor so that you can manage your savings and/or pension monies while controlling risk.
Our dual offering - combining training and advice in the area of investing - gives you the tools and support to plan your own investment journey and to be an ‘independent investor’. Many people express dissatisfaction with the services from stockbrokers, financial advisors and other product seller such as the banks and insurance companies but are not always sure why. We believe it is because they are predominantly sellers and not advisors.
Who is This Website Aimed at ?
- The novice investor looking to get started
- The person with a lump sum to invest
- The existing stock market investor who is looking to improve
- The person who would like to take control of his/her own pension
Who is Behind GillenMarkets
GillenMarkets was established in 2005 by Rory Gillen, former equity analyst, stockbroker and fund manager. Initially, the company offered investment training services. In October 2009, the company was approved by the Irish Financial Regulator to provide investment advice and, at that stage, a new and substantially upgraded website offering was launched.

The Website Content
We have proven direct stock picking approaches for the US, UK and Irish markets where we show you 'What to Buy' and 'When to Sell'. We also introduce you to 'Intelligent' exchange traded funds (ETFs) that discriminate in how they track a market or index and we show you investment companies available at significant discounts. Our Weekly Investment Bulletin is posted to you each Saturday and provides updates on developments in world markets, a review of the stock picking approaches and highlights funds to buy across the different asset classes. We show you charts compiled over many years that indicate when the markets are turning and we have a range of fundamental indicators that highlight how the different asset classes are valued compared to their historical norms.
There are several Investment Notes that you can read on the site which cover the direct stock selection approaches, exchange traded funds, investment companies and terminology. You can buy a PDF copy of any of these investment notes at our eBooks section. We have a Regular Investor slot where you can follow our monthly stock and fund picks. Lastly, there is a range of Featured Articles for you to read covering a diverse range of investment topics.

Investor Independence
So, whether you are just starting out or are already an experienced investor, we believe the GillenMarkets online website should be invaluable to you.
