Let me help you find peace of mind through wealth planning and risk management.
I am, Michael Walker CFA®, the Senior Wealth Advisor of McW Wealth Management, an independent financial planning firm headquartered in La Crescenta, CA. I serve Space Engineers and Aerospace Professionals at all stages of their life. I help you to pursue a joyful life and reach your financial goals. I have over 25 years of financial service experience to bring to the table to help you, as well as lots of additional resources I've gathered over the years in many areas of financial services.
I have always had a passion for analytics and financial planning. I want to know the details on why this investment makes sense from a risk/return aspect. It's what led me to obtain my Chartered Financial Analyst designation, a rigorous graduate-level study that is widely considered the apex for professional development in investment management. The CFA designation gave me the skills to do in depth analytics and risk analysis. I realized my skill set is better served working with Space Engineers and Aerospace Professionals that are analytical and detailed oriented by there nature. It helps that I am located a stone throw away from the most prestigious space exploration company on the planet, the Jet Propulsion Lab.
Financial planning is a highly individualized, ongoing process, to help reduce your stress about money. I take a comprehensive look at your financial picture to create strategies and advise you on how to achieve your financial goals.
Retirement planning is the process you put in place to maintain your finances after you leave the workforce. I align your values and retirement dreams with appropriate resources. I create financial strategies to help you make smarter decisions and give you peace of mind.
To match your investment objective with your risk tolerance I use Riskalyze® to assess how much risk you currently have, and I make proposals to build an investment portfolio with the exact amount of risk you should take on to reach your goals.
I manage fixed income portfolios which seek to generate total investment return and income. This includes cash management strategies to help earn the most for short term cash.
Establishing a plan to account for your wishes before and after you go can bring peace of mind to you and your loved ones. I will design a plan to ensure that your resources align with your deepest values.
It’s said that only two things are certain in life: Death… and taxes! With Prudent planning and foresight, there’s a lot you can do to minimize your tax bill now and in the future. A well-planned tax strategy can yield great benefits, but only if it is done reviewed and updated every year.

Unlike many financial advisors, you do not have to have a certain amount of investable assets to work with me. I want to be able to help you at any stage of your life and know that you may not have any current savings or investments outside of your employer sponsored plan.
No. My introductory phone meeting and initial planning meeting are complimentary. I want you to see exactly how I can offer value and improve your financial plan before you agree to pay me a penny.
Under fee-based advisory agreements, annual fee agreements range from .75% to 1.5% based on numerous factors, including total assets under management. The management fee services include comprehensive ongoing financial planning and guidance. For clients that are looking for a buy and hold strategy and do not need ongoing financial advice, commission-based accounts have charges that vary depending on the product type. Fees are disclosed at the time of purchase and on trade confirmations.
