Meet Jared Tanimoto

Jared Tanimoto is a fee-only financial advisor and the founder of Ascent Wealth located in Irvine, CA.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve been up to:

  • I was born and raised in a town called Hacienda Heights – on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
  • I’ve spent my entire life living in California but eventually grew curious of the world which has led me to explore many unique places around the globe.
  • A major turning point in my life was in 2003 when I took a computer programming course.  I officially became a geek!
  • I studied at the University of California, Irvine and received my BA in Business Economics where my interest in statistics and probabilites began.
  • I had my first internship in 2005 at a software development company. This eventually led to my obsession with numbers, technology, and the complex investment world. 
  • In 2010, I started my career as an advisor at an insurance broker-dealer where much of the business was selling commissionable insurance products and securities.
  • Prior to launching my firm, I joined a hedge fund running an arbitrage strategy and eventually became manager of a fund.
  • In 2016, I started Ascent Wealth Advisors LLC – a planning and quantitative investment based RIA firm with a fiduciary approach. I gave up all my commissions and left the broker-dealer world for good! 
  • My goal in creating Ascent Wealth is to truly help people avoid any dishonest and unfair practices in the financial services industry and guide them through the complexities of the financial world.  The mantra I follow is, “do the right thing for clients every time, all of the time.”  I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s true!
  • Outside of my professional life, my wife and I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy anything that involves the outdoors.  When I’m not in the office, you can find me rock climbing, mountain biking, spearfishing, skiing, camping, and playing golf.  
  • My wife Paige is a CPA and works for a large accounting firm as an auditor.  We both love traveling and one of our dreams is to dive on all 7 continents.
