Melonakis Financial

Melonakis Financial provides personal financial planning and investment management to individuals, families, small businesses and non-profit entities, addressing needs such as retirement planning, education funding, estate planning, charitable objectives and business succession. Recommendations are tailored to client-specific factors including goals, net worth, time horizon, liquidity, tax considerations and risk tolerance, and the firm states it acts as a fiduciary in its advisory role.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes fundamental security analysis and strategic asset allocation, using model portfolios as a starting point and then tailoring allocations to each client; most accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. Clients are offered periodic reviews (typically at least annually), receive custodial statements at least quarterly, and are encouraged to stay engaged so that plans and allocations can be revised as circumstances change.

Compared with many peers, Melonakis Financial explicitly includes non‑profit and charitable organizations among its client types and notes community involvement and volunteering as part of its practice, with procedures to mitigate related conflicts of interest. The brochure also describes participation in industry meetings, onsite manager visits and vendor due‑diligence sessions that serve as information and educational sources, and discloses potential conflicts when vendor‑sponsored events occur and how those are handled.
