We are Real Fiduciaries.

This means we always put our client’s best interests first. A Real Fiduciary also means that we are not part-time fiduciaries. We put our client’s best interests first in all cases and at all times. Less than 8% of financial advisors are Real Fiduciaries. Read our fiduciary oath to see the principles we live by.

My investment and wealth management firm, Pacifica Wealth Advisors, serves clients across the country.

I have a Ph.D. in financial and retirement planning. Additionally, I am a Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, a Certified Structured Settlement Consultant, an Enrolled Agent* with the IRS, and have a Master’s Degree in Psychology. Learn more about me or our financial planning services.

WE TRY TO SOLVE “THE NASTIEST AND HARDEST PROBLEM IN FINANCE."

How much income can you safely withdraw from your retirement accounts without risking running out of money? It seems like a simple and straightforward question, but would you be surprised that a Nobel Prize-winning economist said that this is "the nastiest and hardest problem in finance?" If a PhD from Stanford thinks this is the biggest challenge, it means it requires a great deal of planning. This is where we come in. Lead retirement advisor, Robert Pagliarini, has a PhD in retirement planning and works to solve this "nastiest and hardest problem" and give his clients confidence.
