Investing In Modern Markets

Many affluent investors are highly motivated by the challenge of making money, but find they do not have the time, inclination or ability to manage it efficiently. Making money is only half of the equation. Managing your wealth requires extensive research, a viable strategy, risk management, careful implementation, diligent monitoring, and fine tuned discipline.

I apply years of capital market experience and management of individualized financial portfolios to leverage a broad range of investment opportunities, diversified asset allocation strategies and dynamic responses to an ever changing economy. My clients include high net worth families, business owners, doctors, lawyers, engineers, athletes, and entertainment professionals.

I design goals based financial plans that match every stage of my clients' life. These plans incorporate comprehensive portfolio management and estate planning strategies.

I value the opportunity to become a trusted advisor for your wealth management needs. Please call my office at 310-297-3719 to set up a comprehensive and confidential consultation.
