Bruce J. Marshall
First Vice President - Investments
Join us for a cup of coffee ... and a second opinion. During volatile and confusing markets, we understand that even the most patient investors may come to question the wisdom of the investment plan they’ve been following. We’d like to help – and we can start by offering a cup of coffee and a second opinion. By appointment, you’re welcome to come in and talk with us about your investment portfolio. If we think your investments continue to be well-suited to your long-term goals – in spite of the current market turmoil – we’ll gladly tell you so, and send you on your way. If, on the other hand, we think some of your investments no longer fit with your goals, we’ll explain why, in plain English. And, if you like, we’ll recommend some alternatives.

A storied address,
A legendary lifestyle. In the village of La Jolla, just steps from the sand, is the celebrated retirement community of Casa de Mañana. With a location like this, it’s no surprise that some La Jollans believe Casa de Mañana has a long waiting list, and is a bit expensive. Only those that visit discover the truth – that living here is not only possible, but more affordable than they imagined.
EXPERIENCE a lifestyle filled with resort amenities, breathtaking views, the convenience of the village just blocks away, and the peace of mind of onsite personal care. Come to Casa de Mañana today, and see how truly legendary your retirement living can be.
Ask about our new resident specials, valued at $3, 000 & up. – no entrance fees –
