Anselmo Investment Management

What Anselmo Investment Management does

Anselmo Investment Management is an independent, fee-based financial advisory firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Temecula, California. The firm offers comprehensive wealth management, financial planning, retirement plan administration (401k/403b), tax strategy, estate planning, and risk management services to individual families and small-to-mid-sized employer clients. Securities and advisory services are delivered through a strategic partnership with LPL Financial (a registered investment advisor, FINRA/SIPC member), which provides the underlying trading platforms, custodial infrastructure, and access to large equity and bond desks, allowing the firm to serve clients in 14 U.S. states with a 1-10 person team.

The firm is led by Founder & President Mark Anselmo, CFP, supported by VP Adam Skumawitz and Operations Manager Ellen Taff. The team is composed exclusively of Certified Financial Planners operating as fiduciaries, and institutional clients include the University of Southern California, Pepperdine University, the State of California, and The Aerospace Corporation for corporate and institutional retirement plan services. The product suite spans individual retirement accounts (IRA, ROTH IRA, SEP-IRA, 403(b), Rollover IRA), business support services (taxes, HR, payroll, banking, group benefits, commercial insurance, financial wellness benefit), and a Private Wealth Management offering intentionally limited to maintain high-touch client relationships. A philanthropic division, AIM for Good, allocates a percentage of revenue annually to local non-profits, anchored by the CEO-founded Our Nicholas Foundation (2004) supporting the Autism community.

The business model is recurring fee-based advisory revenue, with no public fee schedule disclosed. The firm markets primarily through its website (investwithaim.com), community involvement, and referral-driven local reputation in the Temecula Valley. There is no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, no M&A activity, and no technology platform development beyond LPL Financial's infrastructure, indicating a deliberately small-scale, relationship-driven practice rather than a growth-stage financial services firm.

Direct peers

• Fisher Investments: Independent, fee-based investment advisor serving individuals, families, and institutions. Comparable to AIM as an independent RIA with a fiduciary model, though Fisher operates at much greater scale and is more institutionally oriented.
• Mariner Wealth Advisors: Independent, fee-based wealth advisory firm serving individuals, families, and institutions. Comparable to AIM in fiduciary, fee-based service model and breadth of retirement, estate, and tax planning offerings, though at significantly larger scale.
• Commonwealth Financial Network: Independent broker-dealer and RIA platform serving independent financial advisors who provide fee-based wealth management. Comparable to AIM as an independent advisor practice operating under a larger B/D/RIA umbrella.

Others

• LPL Financial: Largest independent broker-dealer in the US and AIM's platform partner. Relevant as both an infrastructure enabler and as a competitor (LPL Financial Services hosts its own affiliated advisors that compete for the same fee-based individual and retirement plan clients).

Broad incumbents

• Cetera Financial Group: Independent broker-dealer and RIA support platform that hosts independent financial advisors similar to AIM. Comparable in providing the back-office and technology infrastructure layer that supports LPL-style independent advisory practices.
• Merrill Lynch Wealth Management: Wirehouse wealth management franchise serving individuals and institutions with comprehensive financial planning, retirement, and estate services. Comparable to AIM in offering holistic wealth management, but operates within the Bank of America ecosystem at vastly greater scale.
• Edward Jones: Large national financial advisory firm with a branch-based, relationship-driven model serving individuals and small businesses. Comparable to AIM in targeting individual investors and small-business retirement plans, but operates at vastly greater scale with thousands of advisors.
• Charles Schwab (Independent Advisor Services / Wealth Advisory): Schwab provides custody, trading, and practice-management support to thousands of independent RIAs, and competes directly through Schwab Wealth Advisory. Highly comparable to AIM in target client (individual investors, small-business retirement plans) and fee-based model.
• Raymond James Financial Services: Diversified financial services firm supporting independent financial advisors in wealth management, retirement planning, and estate services. Comparable to AIM in targeting individuals, families, and small businesses through an advisor-driven relationship model.

Emerging players

• Argent Capital Management: Smaller, independent fee-based investment advisory firm providing wealth and risk management services to individuals and institutions. Comparable to AIM in scope of personal financial planning, retirement, and risk management offerings, though more regionally focused.
