Welcome

The Tanabe, Tanimoto, Farmer, and Holcher Group is a carefully cultivated team with over 100 years of collective experience built on a shared philosophy of holistic wealth management, serving both retail clients and institutional investors. Our team operates on a foundation of integrity which adheres to the highest ethical standards by committing to act in the clients’ best interest. Transparency and open communication are essential components of our client relationships. We believe in keeping clients fully informed about their wealth management strategies.

It is our belief that we are more than just financial advisors; we are architects of financial well-being, crafting strategies that align with the unique goals, values, and aspirations of individuals and the complex mandates of institutions. This dual focus allows us to leverage insights and extensive knowledge across a broad spectrum of financial needs, from individual retirement planning to sophisticated portfolio management for endowments, foundations, and institutions. We believe financial decisions are deeply intertwined with personal and organizational considerations, fostering a supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and aspirations, or in the case of institutions, their fiduciary responsibilities, and long-term objectives. Our team focuses on building deep, personal relationships with individuals, understanding life goals, risk tolerance, family dynamics, and philanthropic interests. For institutional clients, we focus on understanding their mission, investment policy statement, risk parameters, liquidity needs, and long-term financial objectives. This client-centric approach is evident in our emphasis on personalized service. We realize each client is unique and requires a tailored financial plan. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, rather collaborating closely with each client to develop customized strategies aligned with individual goals and values, or in the case of institutions, their specific mandates, and regulatory requirements.

Helping institutions meet their investment needs
