About

The Pacific Center for Financial Services provides financial planning, consulting, and investment management to individuals, including high-net-worth families, family trusts, and retirement accounts. Services include written financial plans, managed accounts (both discretionary and non‑discretionary), seminars, and guidance on retirement-plan rollovers.

The firm’s portfolio management emphasizes asset allocation and long‑term diversification, drawing on fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and investing in mutual funds (including no‑load and load‑waived funds), ETFs, stocks, bonds, and alternative fund strategies. Portfolios are monitored daily with at least quarterly performance reviews and clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions and receive annual account reviews.

Noteworthy features include approximately $960 million in assets under management with four advisers (resulting in an unusually high AUM-per-advisor level) and operations across five offices, both of which are uncommon among peers. Several supervised persons are also licensed insurance agents and registered mortgage brokers, and the firm uses direct fee debit and standing letters of authorization, factors clients may consider when evaluating custody arrangements and potential conflicts of interest.
