Del Mar Lifestyle | March 2018

Since they first started running the two shops, Arabi and his team have made it a point to get involved in the community, especially in schools. Arabi has visited Torrey Pines high school’s marketing and business classes and talked about his experience with business. The most notable way they give back is through their partnerships with local elementary, middle and high schools, selling their signature ice cream sandwiches at different events like sports games, carnivals, graduations, fundraisers, silent auctions, and prom night. “We wanted to partner with schools,” says Arabi.

“We always donate 20 percent of our growth sales. It’s our way of giving back.”

And it doesn’t stop there. The Baked Bear also donates sweet treats for different events, such as a local Boys & Girls Club event that provided gifts for 200-250 underprivileged kids in December 2017. “We supplied a cookie decorating station,” says Arabi. "We donated toppings, glaze, and different types of cookies. The kids came in and chose their cookie and toppings, and got to decorate it the way they wanted.”

The goal for Arabi and team is to continue partnering with more schools — with colleges now on their radar — and to become more

Her Blood Runs Pink DAME ZANDRA RHODES

ARTICLE JENNIFER AUSTIN | PHOTOGRAPHY ZEMINA ZAFERAKIS, ZBELLA PHOTOGRAPHY

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF 70S CULTURE OR FASHION, THEN YOU SURELY KNOW THE NAME ZANDRA RHODES. This Dame, as decreed in 1997 by Queen Elizabeth II, has dressed the likes of fashion and contemporary culture’s favorites: Bianca Jagger, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Mirren, and Kate Moss, and led the pack of designers who defined the age of punk rock and 1970s disco-glam. She found herself and her creative outlet in designing textiles. First deemed too loud and bold for the mainstream, Rhodes found her niche in the heart of the British punk, glamour, and avant-garde fashion scene that was burgeoning in London, ready to take the world by storm.

FINANCIAL BUZZ

ASK THE EXPERT 8 REASONS TO HIRE A WEALTH MANAGEMENT FIRM

1. The firm’s advisory asset management program eliminates commissions for transactions, and within their advisory platform there is no incentive to offer financial products with excessive fees.

HPWA charges a very reasonable and completely transparent asset management fee, which financially aligns their clients’ interest with the firm’s. This incentivizes HPWA to perform, while serving as motivation to preserve client assets when markets go down.

2. The process at HPWA eliminates conflicts of interest and results in a much more aligned, synergistic and healthier relationship with clients. Hall states, “Our fees tend to be one-third what big banks charge their clients; we pass these savings along to our clients, which results in improved performance apples-to-apples.”

3. Charles Schwab serves as custodian for client assets, so the firm can keep fees low while holding assets with one of the most financially stable and recognizable custodian firms in the world.

4. While not married to any one discipline, the firm’s current money management bias is toward what Hall describes as ‘deepvalue investing’, similar to the approach that Warren Buffet takes.

“The challenge is to find value among asset classes, sectors and regions that may be temporarily out of favor, but offer limited downside, a dividend stream and opportunity for future gains,” says Hall.

5. HPWA’s investment approach applies to the bond markets and ACHIEVING YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS REQUIRES EXPERT
