Award Winner

InvestmentNews’ 2026 5-Star Wealth Management Teams award was awarded in May 2026 and recognized US-based firms for client growth and retention over the preceding 12 months. A total of 772 firms were nominated, and 97 were recognized following the IN editorial team’s qualitative and quantitative review. No fees were paid for consideration or receipt, and clients were not involved in the process. Some recipients, including the advisor, paid post-award fees for optional promotional materials, which did not influence the award process. Third-party rankings and recognitions serve as benchmarks but do not guarantee future investment success or represent individual client evaluations. For details on the professional designations displayed herein, including descriptions, minimum requirements, and ongoing education requirements, as well as full details on third-party rankings, awards, and accolades, please visit the similarly named section at seia.com/disclosures. Alternative investments may not be suitable for all investors. Signature Estate & Investment Advisors, LLC (SEIA) is an SEC-registered investment adviser; however, such registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training, and no inference to the contrary should be made. Securities offered through Signature Estate Securities, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. Investment advisory services offered through SEIA, 2121 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 1600, Los Angeles, CA 90067, (310) 712-2323.

Many new clients arrive through referrals – from existing clients and professional partners – reflecting relationships built over time. Perhaps the most telling aspect of SEIA’s recognition is what it says about the firm’s approach to client relationships at their most human moments. When markets grow turbulent and anxiety rises, the firm’s advisors are trained not simply to reassure but to slow decisions down, provide context, and gently reinforce the long-term plans when they are needed most. In an era when wealth management is under pressure to automate, commoditize, and digitize, SEIA’s positioning within the wealth management landscape rests on something more analog: the steady presence of people who know their clients well, show up consistently, and take the responsibility of guiding others seriously. Jared Chase adds, “Expectations are high, as is support. There is a shared understanding that we are building something meant to last, both for clients and within the firm.”

The firm’s investment approach, while secondary to its broader wealth management mandate, remains a key component of its process. In the past year across 2025, SEIA deployed structured notes; employed concentrated stock solutions, including long-short strategies and option collars; and leaned into conviction-driven individual stock selection through its internal investment management team – a combination utilized by the firm during a volatile market environment. What further distinguishes SEIA from many of its peers is not only a structural choice but also a cultural one. A significant portion of the firm’s advisors began their careers at SEIA itself, advancing through a formal development track that emphasizes mentorship and shared responsibility. Long tenures are common, and turnover is relatively low. Leadership at the firm has reinforced this culture through deliberate decision-making, consistently prioritizing infrastructure, governance, and people over rapid expansion. The result is an organization that has man aged to scale while maintaining a consistent, coherent client experience.
