About
Santa Monica Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities, with client objectives and constraints documented in a Statement of Mutual Understanding. The firm manages about $21.7 million across roughly 35 client accounts.
The adviser runs portfolios on a discretionary, core‑and‑satellite basis, combining strategic allocations with tactical adjustments and a multi‑year (5–7 year) market‑cycle perspective. Its stated process emphasizes long‑term holdings, avoidance of market timing, the use of cash as a strategic asset when appropriate, and the selective use of individual securities informed in part by CFRA’s Five STAR stock list.
Several business practices distinguish the firm from many peers: as of January 15, 2026 it stopped taking new clients for its comprehensive wealth management and stand‑alone financial planning/coaching services while continuing those services for legacy clients under existing agreements. The firm also operates as a fee‑only adviser that discloses no outside compensation or soft‑dollar arrangements, does not aggregate client trades into block orders, does not vote client proxies, and states no account minimums for new engagements.

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.
