SEIA Demonstrates Rapid Expansion and Earns Recognition by Leading Industry Publications

LOS ANGELES, CA – October 15, 2020 — Signature Estate and Investment Advisors, LLC (SEIA), a full-service wealth management firm headquartered in Southern California, today announced that SEIA and its affiliates reached $12.3 billion in assets under management (AUM). In addition to the AUM growth, SEIA was also named to Barron’s “2020 Top RIA Firms.”

The firm’s rapid growth was further validated by other recent industry accolades, recognizing both SEIA’s culture and its advisors:

• Financial Times: SEIA was also recognized as one of the “2020 Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers,” highlighting the top US-registered investment advisers. The rankings are based on several areas of consideration, including adviser AUM, asset growth, the company’s age, industry certifications of key employees, SEC compliance record, and online accessibility.
• Los Angeles Business Journal: named SEIA to the “Best Places to Work 2020: The Best Medium-Sized Companies to Work for in Los Angeles” list, marking the third year that SEIA was included. Factors contributing to SEIA’s placement on the list include its long-standing advocacy in recruiting new graduates and developing their signature innovative career path. New recruits can choose among the analyst, operations, and financial advising career tracks, where they have the flexibility to change career paths within the firm, contributing to SEIA’s stellar retention rate.

“At SEIA, we believe in driving business growth by consistently enhancing our team with some of the best practitioners in the industry while creating an environment that boosts employee retention,” said Brian Holmes, President & CEO of SEIA. “While navigating through the unchartered waters of 2020, our team has continued to thrive through its commitment to help our clients with industry-leading financial advice. Our continued rapid growth, coupled with the recognition we have received, further substantiates SEIA’s commitment to our clients.”

In addition to championing these accolades, SEIA has also been an active participant in corporate social responsibility initiatives throughout the year. Most recently, the firm’s Signature Fund for Giving (Fund) – founded in 2011 to support local youth in Southern California and other national charities – issued a $50,000 grant to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, where the Fund will have a 15-year naming right to the renovation of a playroom in the Hospital. Furthermore, SEIA also collaborated with A Place Called Home – a community center in South Central Los Angeles, offering educational programs, counseling, mentorship, and after-school activities to underprivileged children and young adults in the surrounding area. A team of SEIA volunteers helped pack more than a thousand backpacks filled with school supplies for the youth– preparing them with all the tools they need for a successful school year.
