About

Kondo Wealth Advisors works with individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses to provide discretionary portfolio management and financial planning and consulting. The firm also assists clients in selecting third‑party money managers and may combine asset management with written financial plans or less formal consultations.

The firm’s investment process incorporates fundamental and cyclical analysis and uses both long‑ and short‑term strategies across individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, with ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing. Kondo implements portfolios in part through sub‑advisory relationships and a family of SA Funds advised by Focus Partners Advisor Solutions (with Dimensional Fund Advisors serving as sub‑adviser on nine of the ten SA Funds), and delivers written plans for planning engagements when contracted.

Several features distinguish Kondo from many peers: supervised persons are registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (PKS) and the firm also sells commissionable securities, and its representatives hold life and long‑term care insurance licenses and may receive commissions for insurance sales, which can present conflicts of interest. The firm likewise offers electronic invoicing and approved secure money‑sending options for planning clients, and it manages about $365 million in discretionary assets across two advisors, a scale that is notable within this supported‑advisor category.
