FAQ






        What's a Fiduciary?

        As a fiduciary, we are legally bound to act in your best interest at all times,
        which sets us apart from the majority of financial advisors who do not hold this
        standard. In fact, only 4% of advisors are fiduciaries.




        How does Pacific Capital get paid?
        Unlike many financial advisors, we do not receive kickbacks or commissions for
        recommending certain investments. Our transparent fee structure ensures that

        our only incentive is to manage your investments and financial planning needs
        with your best interests in mind.



        What's a Family Office?

        As a family office, we offer a comprehensive suite of personalized financial
        services that extends beyond traditional financial planning and investment

        strategy. Our approach is designed to provide everything our entrepreneurial
        client families need for their money and lifestyle goals.



        Who does Pacific Capital primarily work with?

        How can I become a client?

        Our expertise lies in working with successful entrepreneurs and their families
        with at least $10 million dollars to invest, who require a personalized, team-
        based approach to managing their complex financial lives. If you're tired of

        piecing together your financial management on your own or working with under
        qualified professionals, we're here to help.




        Do I need to be in California to become a client?

        Our services are available to clients across the country and internationally. Over
        60% of our business is actually outside of California, our home state. We
        leverage technology to provide virtual client conversations and travel regularly
        to meet with clients face-to-face, regardless of location.
