REGATTA CAPITAL GROUP
R
egatta Capital Group provides investment management and financial planning advice to individuals, families, business owners and endowments. The firm was founded in 2007 by an entrepreneur and industrial designer who joined forces to create an independent, boutique wealth management firm. Spencer Kelly and Russell Mohberg have built a firm with a fiduciary standard founded on delivering extraordinary client service and exceptional investment results.
How do you distinguish yourself from the competition?
“We are truly independent. There are no investments to pitch, no behind-the-scene fees. 100% of our firm’s revenue comes from our annual advisory fee and our advice, time
and customized financial plans are all included.”
Do you offer a free consultation for new clients?
“Yes. Such an important part of our new client process is making sure we are comfortable working together and that we trust and respect each other. Spending time listening, learning and understanding the client is paramount.”
Tell us something unique about your business.
“In addition to traditional public investments, we also invest in private real estate for our accredited investors. The transparency is wonderful. The returns have been great and the lack of correlation with the stock market has been a definite welcome.”
What are the most common problems that you run across when working with clients?
“There’s a quote that says, ‘The source of all unhappiness is unfulfilled expectations.’ We believe this is true. We’re not traders. Instead we buy the highest quality stocks, bonds, mutual funds and real estate, with the
goal of owning these investments as long as possible. We run into problems when clients expect stock like returns with bond like volatility. Successful investing is a result of proper planning and communication with a focus on owning only the best investments.”
What is your professional goal this year?
“We want to keep growing, as we want more advisors serving our local communities and a more experienced team serving our current clients. We brought on advisor Nick Ozer from Manhattan Beach, whose experience has quickly made him an integral addition to our team. And we opened our first branch office, headed by the knowledgeable and passionate advisor Lisa Margulies.” Past performance does not predict future returns.
FAST FACT Regatta’s asset base has been growing at more than 30% per year since 2007, and the firm now works with clients in more than 20 states and three countries.
