About

First Pacific Financial provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and a Spark advisory service that integrates model-based ETF management with planning. Its clients include individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), estates, trusts, foundations, charitable organizations, corporations, and retirement plans.

The firm blends a proprietary quantitative optimization model with qualitative fundamental analysis and uses both strategic and tactical asset‑allocation approaches, with the ability to incorporate alternative investments or ESG preferences where appropriate. FPF tailors portfolios and financial plans to each client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, and liquidity needs, and delivers ongoing reviews, third‑party manager relationships, and either discretionary trading authority or non‑discretionary recommendations depending on the engagement.

Distinctive elements noted in the brochure include the Spark service’s use of Betterment for Advisors to implement custom ETF models and the firm’s active client outreach—regular impersonal seminars, paid lead‑generation arrangements (including use of a third‑party provider for retirement plan introductions), and the use of client testimonials in advertising, which is uncommon among peers. The firm manages roughly $1.93 billion through a 19‑advisor team and explicitly offers institutional retirement and charitable/nonprofit advisory services in addition to its retail offerings.
