"Freedom is how most people operate at their best," says senior partner Scott Fosmark. "You get a lot of personal fulfillment from being able to exercise judgment, so you work hard to make the right decisions for your clients. The client comes first, period."

Fosmark added, "Commonwealth is the perfect match for us in terms of the broad support and platform infrastructure that we need for our evolving business and brand."

Because it is privately held, Commonwealth offers a business model focused solely on helping its advisors succeed. Fosmark and the senior partner team at Monterey Custom Wealth Management look forward to incorporating even more extensive and robust third-party research into their portfolio design, growing with intention through strategic marketing support from Commonwealth's newly launched Brand Studio, and enjoying the flexibility to serve their clients their way, which comes from making the move to independence.

"We're ecstatic to welcome Monterey Custom Wealth Management to our community of independent financial advisors," said Andrew Daniels, Commonwealth's managing principal of business development. "We know that breaking away from a well-known wirehouse to make the move from employee to business owner can be a leap of faith, and we’re honored to have earned this trust. Being able to draw on Commonwealth's array of customizable business solutions while running their practice their way is going to allow the team to achieve their vision as a firm with increased efficiency and freedom."
