Orange, CA Office

Compound Planning serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), families, businesses, and retirement plans with a mix of discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, institutional plan advisory, and a Turnkey Asset Management Program (TAMP) for financial intermediaries. The firm’s platform supports both in-house and third‑party models and provides project-based planning and consulting alongside managed portfolio services.

Compound’s investment process centers on customized, risk‑based model allocations informed by fundamental, technical, and modern portfolio theory analysis, with implementations that can include low‑cost ETFs, direct indexing, and alternative strategies. The firm uses third‑party sub‑advisors and technology partnerships to offer tax‑aware direct indexing, options strategies, and specialized lending solutions, and it documents conflicts and due‑diligence steps as part of its fiduciary duty.

Compared with many peers, Compound maintains several strategic and operational distinctions: it distributes periodic client communications, designates an affiliated technology partner (FT FinTech/Canvas) as its preferred direct‑indexing solution following a minority investment, and engages with insurance activities through Associates who are licensed agents and may earn commissions. The firm also leverages technology features such as Zero Data Retention AI for operational tasks and integrates specialized platforms (e.g., synthetic lending and digital‑asset account capabilities) via third‑party relationships.
