Our Story

After nearly a decade serving on investment teams, Jake had three goals: to return to California's beautiful Central Coast, to start his own business, and to work directly with clients as they seek to grow, protect, and focus their wealth to live life to the fullest.

Following the carpenter's rule of "measure twice, cut once," Jake spent nearly ten months studying the industry and determining how he could best serve clients before opening Rothman Investment Management in 2015. This process reinforced his belief that clients are best served by an independent, fee-only fiduciary advisor. Larson joined the firm in 2021, bringing a shared commitment to building a client-focused practice with a thoughtful approach to investing and an emphasis on financial planning.

Since our founding, Rothman Investment Management has helped more than 100 households with financial planning and investing. Today, we manage over $100 million in client assets, with client relationships extending across 18 states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

While our clients span the country, our commitment remains personal. We strive to understand what matters most to each individual and family we serve, providing thoughtful financial guidance tailored to their unique goals, values, and aspirations. Ultimately, our story is not about us, but about our clients and the relationships we build along the way.

Our Mission

To guide clients in building, protecting, and focusing their wealth on what matters most to them, helping them live life to the fullest.

Our Fiduciary Commitment

As an independent, fee-only fiduciary, Rothman Investment Management is committed to acting in the best interests of our clients. We believe that trust is earned through integrity, transparency, and a commitment to putting our clients' interests first.

We provide advice with care, good faith, and candor. We seek to avoid conflicts of interest and provide full and fair disclosure of material conflicts so our clients can make informed decisions.

We do not receive commissions or other compensation tied to the purchase or sale of financial products, nor do we accept compensation for referring clients or their business to others.

What This Means for You

Our recommendations are guided by your individual goals, circumstances, and financial interests rather than by commissions or referral payments. We are committed to providing objective advice, communicating openly, and maintaining the trust you place in us throughout our relationship.
