Our Practice

We founded Westlake Private Wealth Management to break free from the traditional 
Wall Street model and build an independent practice focused on objective advice,
personalized service and full transparency.

Our purpose is to build intimate and meaningful relationships with clients who consider us their most trusted financial advocates. To do so, we will follow three basic tenets:

  • We will always strive to provide our clients with the clearest paths to wealth accumulation, preservation, and ultimate transfer by designing and implementing thoughtful and dynamic investment strategies tailored to their unique goals.
  • As an independent practice, we will always strive to deliver clear and objective advice, free from corporate mandates and conflicts of interest.
  • We will always strive to offer thorough counsel on all of our clients’ wealth management issues, and we will strive to organize and simplify our clients’ lives in a way that allows them to maximize the enjoyment of their wealth now, and for future generations.

If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free.
If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.

Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Vegas.
