Five Star Wealth Manager Award Winner (2018)

Michael Olivia has been recognized by Five Star Professional and awarded the 2018 Five Star Wealth Manager Award, as published in the Wall Street Journal and San Diego Magazine.

Letter from Mike Dear colleagues, clients and friends, Over the past 19 years, the focus of our practice has been to help families achieve their wealth objectives by striving to mitigate risk and volatility, reduce taxes and minimize fees and costs. Our practice was founded by building long-term relationships with our clients, providing service, advice and consult that impacts the lives of our clients and their families. In light of this objective, I have been recognized by Five Star Professional and awarded the 2018 Five Star Wealth Manager Award, which is published in the Wall Street Journal and our local publication, San Diego Magazine. Candidates who qualify for the award must satisfy 10 criteria, including a regulatory and complaint history review, one and five-year client retention rate, total client assets administered, households served, and a thorough assessment of education and professional designations. It is a great honor to be nominated by my peers and selected for this award. As always, I appreciate your time as well as your confidence in me and my team as we continue to serve our clients, families and communities. We look forward to our continued relationship and our next conversation together. Warm regards, Mike
