CFP®, CAIA®

Edgar Haroutunian, CFP®, CAIA®, is an Advisor at Signature Estate & Investment Advisors, LLC (SEIA) and a member of founding partner Gary Liska’s team in Century City. He brings a planning-centered approach to helping clients make informed financial decisions and develop investment strategies aligned with their long-term priorities.

Edgar’s CFP® and CAIA® credentials reflect his combined focus on comprehensive financial planning and investment analysis. He helps clients consider how investment decisions, risk, liquidity needs, and long-term goals can work together within a coordinated financial strategy.

A key differentiator in Edgar’s background is his knowledge of alternative investments and credit markets. His CAIA® training includes alternative-investment concepts such as private credit and asset-backed finance, giving him a broader perspective on how different asset classes may be evaluated within a diversified portfolio when appropriate.

Before joining SEIA, Edgar worked at TCW Investment Management, where he supported wealth advisors and investment-product communication. This experience strengthened his understanding of investment solutions, fixed-income and credit-market considerations, and the importance of clear communication in the advisor-client relationship.

Edgar holds Series 7, Series 63, and Series 65 securities licenses. He works alongside SEIA colleagues on Gary Liska’s team to provide coordinated wealth-management guidance.
