## About EP Wealth Advisors

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: EP Wealth Advisors is a fee-only independent wealth management firm providing investment management, financial planning, and tax services to individuals, families, and retirement plans.
- **Entity Type**: Private (institutional investor: Project EPIC Acquisition LLC ("EPIC") holds a principal stake alongside EPWA Inc. in the parent holding company)
- **Headquarters**: Torrance, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2004 (through predecessor firm Premier Financial Management; the firm's SEC-registered advisory lineage dates to 1999)
- **Founders**: Brian Parker, Derek Holman (co-founders of Premier Financial Management), and Stephanie Enright (veteran advisor whose firm merged with Premier to create EP Wealth Advisors)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services — Wealth Management / Investment Advisory
- **Target customers**: High-net-worth individuals, families, and institutional retirement plans (predominantly B2C, with retirement-plan services for employers)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To understand your unique situation and develop a customized plan with strategies designed to achieve your specific goals and objectives... your peace of mind." Internally, the firm describes its mission as "enriching the lives of clients and our team members."

## Products & Services
- **Investment Management**: Discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, including access to private funds, hedge funds, and alternative investments for qualifying clients.
- **Financial Planning**: Comprehensive, individualized wealth planning delivered through a deep bench of CFPs, estate planners, and tax professionals.
- **Tax Preparation & Services**: Integrated tax services offered alongside investment and planning work.
- **Retirement Plan Advisory Services**: Dedicated advisory offering for employer-sponsored retirement plans (approximately $617M in client assets as of Feb 2025).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Assets Under Management — $44.1B (as of 3/31/26 per LinkedIn); $42.2B (per the firm's advisor recruiting page); $35.57B (per SEC Form ADV, Feb 29, 2025). The figures reflect a consistent growth trajectory rather than conflicting reports.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Project EPIC Acquisition LLC ("EPIC") — principal investor in EP Wealth Advisors Holdings, LLC; EPWA Inc. — co-investor/owner.
- **Growth Signals**: 600+ employees; 60+ offices coast-to-coast; named a USA Today Top Workplace for 2025 (first time, based on employee surveys); continued national expansion and advisor recruiting.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Independent fiduciary model**: Fee-only structure with no commissions — the model co-founders built specifically to fix what they saw as misaligned incentives at "big brand firms."
- **Institutional-grade capabilities at private-client scale**: Clients receive extensive planning and investment services "typically reserved for families of extreme wealth."
- **Integrated platform**: Dedicated Financial Planning, Client Service, Portfolio Management, and Operations teams allow advisors to focus on clients rather than administrative work.
- **Deep expertise bench**: In-house CFPs, estate planning professionals, tax professionals, and portfolio managers supporting advisors and clients.
- **Relationship-driven culture**: Co-founders have been friends since grade school, and the firm's values emphasize long-term client relationships over transactions.

- **Advisor growth & recruiting**: Actively recruiting planners, junior advisors, and seasoned advisors with books of business, offering industry-leading payouts, lead flow, and partnership paths.
- **Talent pipeline development**: The EP Fellowship Program — a 6-month hands-on experience working side-by-side with EP leaders on client-facing programs — is a key channel for developing future leaders.
- **Continued AUM growth**: Scaling from $35.6B (Feb 2025) to $44.1B (Mar 2026) demonstrates an aggressive growth agenda.

## Why Work Here
- **Recognition**: Named a USA Today Top Workplace for 2025 — the firm's first time on the list, based on anonymous employee feedback.
