Firm History

Retirement Wealth Advisors (“RWA”) is a Fee-Only SEC Registered Investment Advisor headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The firm was founded in 2005 by Jason Wenk to serve the specific needs of retired or soon to be retired investors.

In 2010 we expanded to serve Southern California with the acquisition of Benchmark Capital and now have offices in Los Angeles and Newport Beach, in addition to our offices in Grand Rapids and Spring Lake.

Our core competency is managing investment risk so that clients who are no longer working and saving need not worry about their portfolio during retirement.  We do this by actively managing client asset allocations in attempt to avoid poor market conditions and still capture a fair amount of market gains when conditions are positive.

We also focus extensively on smart ways to construct portfolios for taking portfolio income during retirement years.  Unlike many advisors who call themselves “income planning experts” but only sell high commission annuities to do so, RWA is a Fee-Only fiduciary that does not accept commissions and works exclusively for our clients best interests.

Our Pledge to Clients

  1. All clients are unique, and should receive personalized, custom solutions
  2. Clients deserve objective advice, free from Conflicts of Interests
  3. Managing risk of loss should always take precedent over seeking maximum gain
  4. Trust and Respect should be cherished and continually earned
  5. Clients don’t need more high cost products, they need a personalized strategy to meet their specific goals
