About

Financial Focus LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans, and reports serving a client base of roughly 516 accounts with a five-advisor team. Its services include discretionary asset management delivered through the AssetMark platform, comprehensive written financial plans and one-time consulting engagements.

The firm typically implements model portfolios and conducts client meetings to document objectives and risk tolerance, then manages accounts on a discretionary basis with periodic (at least quarterly) reviews and rebalancing as appropriate. It also offers retirement-plan consulting and fiduciary services, able to act as either a limited-scope ERISA 3(21) adviser or a discretionary ERISA 3(38) investment manager for plan sponsors, with stated exclusions for non-public and illiquid assets.

A distinctive feature is that the firm sponsors a wrap fee program using model portfolios, bundling management and transaction coverage into a single advisory arrangement — a role that is relatively uncommon among similar team firms. The firm also combines platform relationships (AssetMark and multiple custodians) with personnel who maintain broker-dealer and insurance registrations, practices the firm discloses and manages through its fiduciary policies and internal compliance procedures.
