Apriem Advisors Opens New Offices for Clients in Los Angeles, San Diego

    IRVINE, CA, July 13, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Effective immediately, wealth management executives for Apriem Advisors are now seeing clients at their new offices in Torrance and La Jolla, Calif., in addition to their headquarters in Irvine, Calif. The expansion comes amid a recent growth spurt that propelled the 19-year-old firm past the $500 million assets under management (AUM) milestone and landed it on the Financial Times' elite "FT300" national list for wealth advisories.

The new offices are located at the following addresses:
- 21250 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 500, Torrance, CA 90503
- 4660 La Jolla Village Drive, Suite 500, San Diego, CA 92122

"With personal service as our primary objective, these new locations provide us with the regional footprint we need for our growing firm," said Harmon Kong, CFP, chief wealth manager and founding principal of Apriem Advisors. "Many of our clients came from ExxonMobil's Torrance Refinery, and we are expanding our industrial retirement specialty into the legacy sectors of Southern California's aerospace and defense industries."

Whether oil and gas or aerospace and defense, industrial retirees have unique needs, and their pensions are often structured in similar ways. From years of serving these clients, Apriem's wealth managers understand the retirement issues facing this key segment of the regional economy, and they look forward to working face-to-face with many new and existing Apriem clients from the conveniently located new offices, Kong said.

"For us, it's all about building relationships with our clients and listening to their concerns and goals," said Rhonda Ducote, president and principal of Apriem Advisors. "Ultimately, every client is different and their wealth management strategies have to reflect that individuality. The best way to serve our clients is in person, and having a local presence spanning three counties helps tremendously."

Apriem, which means "to the highest degree" in Latin, has claimed compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS), a voluntary regulation based on full disclosure and fair representation of investment performance results which offers clients a exceptionally high level of transparency unusual in today's wealth management industry. The firm is also a member of the Charles Schwab Advisor Network with relationships at the following branches: Del Mar, Carlsbad, Torrance, La Jolla, Temecula, Mission Valley, Palm Desert, Newport Beach, Brea, Seal Beach and Mission Viejo.
