Our Story and Services
Exceeding half a century in combined experience, the Cain Talia Bernal Group is comprised of dedicated financial advisors and associates collectively working together to serve clients in a vast area of financial planning and wealth management. The group strives to provide successful, robust financial/wealth planning by leading with communication, transparency, and integrity while being empowered with the robust resources of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
Individually, each of the advisors began his career in the eastern region of San Diego - namely, La Mesa and El Cajon. Collectively, the team has expanded its client base throughout San Diego and is now based out of University Towne Center near La Jolla, California.
While providing investment advice is critical for clients’ financial success, the Cain Talia Bernal Group stands on the idea that a comprehensive financial plan and strategy are imperative to helping clients achieve economic freedom. That is why recognizing and discovering each client’s goals and priorities has become the foundation of every relationship the Group manages.
