Learn About Allyn Hughes

Professional Background

Prior to Mission Wealth, Allyn co-owned an independent financial advisory firm from 2008 to 2023. Allyn started his career as a marketer for different mutual fund firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of his marketing duties, he attended trade shows and professional conferences for independent financial advisors. At these events, he spoke with many of America’s most successful advisors and attended seminars targeted to this group. He learned a lot and decided to take the classes to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. He ended up completing all but the last course because he couldn’t figure out how to afford to make the transition from a successful marketer to entry-level financial advisor. After moving to Gig Harbor, Washington, Allyn decided that helping others improve their financial lives was what he really wanted to do, so he completed the CFP® courses again and passed the CFP exam.

Allyn graduated from San Jose State University with his Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and earned his MBA from San Francisco State University.

Personal Pursuits

Allyn enjoys landscape photography and has had his images published in a wide variety of newspapers, magazines, and websites. He loves to travel and has been to all 50 states. Allyn’s wife, Diana, and he have two successful daughters who live in California that they try to visit often. They also have a golden retriever and a three-legged cat both of whom keep them busy.

Community Impact

Allyn is active in his community with a number of critical roles, including Finance Committee Member of the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County, Past President of the Sunrise Rotary of Tacoma, a regular donor (over 150 units donated) to the Cascade Regional Blood Services, and a Board Member at the Bayview Manor Foundation.

Spotlight on Andy Penso

Mission Wealth Success Story

A fee and value conscious investor was reluctant to adopt a one-size fits all approach. Mission Wealth used alternatives in the Private Credit and Private Real Estate sectors in order to build a custom, high-yielding portfolio. Additionally, a portion went into Middle Market Loans to small and mid-cap companies. Both strategies utilized short-term and floating-rate loans with competitive risk-adjusted yields. These provided a nice compliment to an individual bond ladder, traditional high yield, and floating rate fixed income.
