Griffin Kent has done an excellent job for myself and my husband. Since joining Mission Wealth, we have had excellent communication. We have been retired since 2021, and with the economy, we worry if we will have enough money to last during our retirement years. Being with Griffin, he has shown us a plan for how we can live in retirement without worrying about our money. We appreciate everything Griffin does for us and have told others about Mission Wealth. Thank you again, Griffin, for all the time you spend with us, showing us what your company can do for us as clients of Mission Wealth.

I retired a year ago from a 40+ year career in engineering and management. I’m naturally very detailed and because of that characteristics it takes a lot for me to build trust in someone, especially with someone who will manage all my investments and guide me in future financial decisions. After 6 months of searching for the right firm, I decided that Fidelity/Mission Wealth was the right choice to help me manage my estate. During my initial six months with Mission Wealth I have worked closely with Griffin Kent and I must say that my experience has been much better than expected. Griffin has been extremely easy to work with and has been proactive in making suggestions that have resulted in positive results for my overall portfolio. My gut tells me that this good working relationship will continue for many years in the future, and I would highly recommend Mission Wealth to anyone who needs expert guidance in developing and ensuring a strong financial future.

we transitioned to Mission Wealth in 9/25. It was a smooth transition, starting with the initial review of the the firms approach to portfolio management. Griffin Kent is the primary contact assigned to us & he has been wonderful to work with. He is articulate, communicates well & very responsive to any question we may have. Very pleased to have him as our representative and very happy we switched to Mission Wealth to manage our portfolio, along with assistance in setting up a Living Trust & income tax filing. We are very happy we made the decision to switch from our old firm to Mission Wealth
