About

Castle Coast Wealth, LLC provides discretionary asset management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm reports $423.7 million in discretionary assets under management, serves 288 clients, and operates with a five‑advisor team across three offices.

Investment programs are customized to client objectives and risk profiles and draw on both quantitative models and qualitative research; the firm may also recommend private investment funds and documents client objectives with profile forms and investment policy statements. CCW performs ongoing portfolio monitoring on a discretionary basis, bills management fees monthly in arrears, and uses Schwab Advisor Services for custody and trade execution.

Uncommon features for a team firm include the firm’s use of testimonials and references to third‑party ratings in its marketing materials, and its disclosure that portfolios may employ option strategies, margin/leverage and borrowing in separately managed accounts. The firm also offers both ERISA 3(21) advisory and 3(38) discretionary manager roles and generally requires a $2,000,000 household minimum for new asset‑management clients, which helps define its client base and engagement model.
