About HBW Advisory Services

HBW Advisory Services

HBW has been a family-owned business since its founding in 1991. The financial world has changed a lot since then. But since our first day we have tried to treat every client as part of the family. That has not changed. HBW's most basic belief and guiding principle is in providing our advisors and clients the tools they need to stay the course, to stick to their financial plans, to seek control of the factors that form the basis of all other investment success: saving, asset protection through insurance, and tax planning. We also believe our clients relationship with their advisor is among their most important assets when times are challenging. Quite simply, we believe advice from most independent financial advisors will be better than advice from anywhere else. Our view is that products are products. Real solutions are based on values and goals, not hypothetical investment returns, fear-based sales tactics or big company guarantees crippled by the fine print. Why deal with some firm's inherent conflict of interest if you do not have to? We are committed to people and families: committed to helping our clients fulfill hopes, accomplish goals, and realize dreams. HBW Advisory Services LLC, is a Registered Investment Advisory Services Company entrusted with over $1 billion in client assets under management.

Mike's mission is to support and advise his clients on reaching their financial goals. Mike generally works with clients who are corporate executives, small business owners, or are transitioning through a life event (retirement, divorce, inheritance, etc.). From spedning over a decade at a large global bank to founding Veracity Capital, Mike is keenly aware of the risks, rewards, and complexities that his clients face. Mike sees the client and advisor relationship similar to a partnership, where communication, transparency, and preparation are crucial to success. He believes that no two clients have the same financial goals, so no two clients should have the same plan. Because of this, Mike works with a lower number of clients and selectively focuses on those that can benefit from his skill set. As a founding partner of Veracity Capital, Mike also enjoys developing other advisors in the firm and helping them grow. Mike also serves the finance function as CFO of Veracity Capital. Prior to Veracity Capital, Mike spent 11 years working at Goldman Sachs, in the AYCO division where he advised his clients. Mike earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from California State University, Northridge, and an MBA from Chapman University.

Born in the Bay Area, I was forced to seek stability and dance with uncertainty from an early age in the foster care system. My ability to listen, comprehend, and tailor creative financial strategies to protect and grow the wealth of my clients have been a direct result of my life experiences. After sharpening my skills at a major Wall Street firm in the Bay Area, I realized that my personal and professional standards were better aligned with an independent, comprehensive, and holistic firm to better serve my clients' best interests. As your trusted advisor, listening to you and your family's dreams and values gives me the depth of understanding to guide our investment decisions. I currently reside in California with my wife, Letty, and our daughter, Olivia, plus one on the way. Collectively, we thrive to live intentionally. My intent is to inspire, equip, and teach our kids to have a heart to serve others. In our leisure time you can find us on the hunt for the best sushi spot, visiting our favorite hiking trails, or soaking up the sun at the beach.

Matthew V. Pixa is the President and founder of My Portfolio Guide, LLC. Matt Pixa grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and at a very young age learned from a World War II Veteran father who grew up in the Great Depression that money and resources are to be managed prudently. Matt's curiosity and passion for investing was further sparked during the stock market crash of 1987. Being a new investor without any guidance and coupled with the dramatic events of that period, an interest and passion for becoming a student of the markets was born. Matt studied Economics and earned a Bachelor's degree while also competing as a student-athlete for California State University Long Beach. After advancing his career for 12 years he decided to return to graduate school and further his business and finance education by earning an MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. Matt Pixa lives in Seal Beach, CA with his wife Cecilia, daughter Isabel, and son Lance. As a family the Pixas are involved in several Orange County charities, through their church at Saint Joseph, and with several non-profits such as Care for the Poor and Taller San Jose. Matt enjoys coaching youth sports for his children's teams and also competes in Ironman triathlons as a way to stay fit, disciplined, and blow off any left over energy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Financial advisors and financial planners in California differ in their scope of services and qualifications. A financial advisor provides a variety of services such as investment management, retirement planning, wealth management, and more, depending on the need of an individual. In contrast, a financial planner is a qualified professional who creates personalized financial plans for clients, focusing on areas including retirement, tax, and estate planning. Planners hold specific credentials (CFP, CFA, etc.), and have a fiduciary duty to act in their client's best interests. To learn more, read on about the differences between Financial advisors and financial planners.

    When choosing a financial advisor in California who specializes in socially responsible investing, be sure to ask the advisor about their approach to screening investments for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.

Additionally, you may also use our free advisor match service to get matched to and compare 2 to 3 financial advisors who meet your specific requirements.

To further explore the various credentials an advisor can hold, read more about advisor designations.

    To ensure that a financial advisor in California prioritizes your best interests, seek out advisors who adhere to a fiduciary standard, which legally obligates them to act in your best interests and avoid conflicts of interest. When selecting an advisor, inquire about their fiduciary status and how they will consistently prioritize your interests. To make sure your best interests are being considered, learn more about the role of a fiduciary financial advisor and the support they can provide.
