Overview

Golden State Wealth Management, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser formed in 2016 and owned by an individual principal. The firm blends advisory and brokerage activities: it provides financial planning and portfolio management for individuals, small businesses, and institutional clients, offers pension consulting and advisor selection services, and also operates as an insurance broker. Golden State acts as a capital allocator, directing client capital into third‑party managers and pooled vehicles rather than relying solely on proprietary strategies. The firm was listed among Forbes’ Top RIA Firms in 2024. Fee arrangements include asset‑based fees (percentage of AUM) plus other fee structures for select services. The firm is not positioned as an ESG specialist.
