Authentic. Detailed. Disciplined.
Personalized Wealth Strategies.
For over 21 years, Wealth Design has been advising successful executives, entrepreneurs and their families. Under the leadership of Gene Ka, Wealth Design crafts long-term, individualized partnerships with our clients. We adopt a holistic approach to wealth management, providing a range of financial and wealth management services that evolve with our clients’ needs… and lives.
Our services are simply fee-based: We do not sell financial products for a commission. Our guiding philosophy is that there should be no inherent conflict of interest or hidden compensation in the objective advice we provide. We seek to create a safe place for our clients to discuss their goals and to always avoid conflict of interests that invariably arise with a commission-based approach.
As a Registered Investment Adviser practice, we utilize powerful and sophisticated tools, technology and independent, as well as research. Consequently, our clients benefit from having an advisor with the same credentials they can find at larger companies; yet because we are independent, we can respond to our clients’ needs promptly and with personal attention.

“Attention to detail, proactive service, and always thinking about what we can do to make clients’ lives better is what drives us.”
