About
Golden State Advisors LLC is a California-registered investment adviser that provides discretionary, asset-based portfolio management to individuals, trusts, corporations, and charities. The firm was founded in 2008 and manages approximately $7.1 million in client assets, with accounts typically opened at a custodian of the client’s choice and managed under a limited power of attorney.
The firm constructs portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds across U.S. and international markets, with strategies oriented toward growth, growth and income, and income. Investment decisions incorporate fundamental, technical and charting analysis, and holdings may be held for long-term, short-term, or trading purposes depending on client objectives and market views.
Notably for a solo independent adviser with a small client base, the firm also provides portfolio management for institutional-type clients and maintains relationships with banking or thrift institutions, a service mix that is uncommon among peers. The adviser manages accounts on a discretionary basis but does not take custody of client assets and declines authority to vote client securities, leaving custodians to deliver statements and proxy materials.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
