20-year industry veterans drawn to Grove Point's top-tier customer support model and home office offerings

Grove Point Financial, a boutique independent broker-dealer and investment advisory platform, today announced the addition of Paso Robles, California-based Meritage Asset Management Group.

Led by husband and wife team Andrea and Kevin Klipfel, the financial professionals of Meritage Asset Management Group focus on retirement income planning and developing personalized financial plans that reduce risk while still providing long-term asset growth for clients both in and nearing retirement. The team has $61 million assets under management.

"We were looking to join forces with a firm that would offer us the benefits of a small boutique firm, while still providing the resources of a larger firm," said Andrea Klipfel, co-owner and wealth manager at Meritage Asset Management Group. "Grove Point does exactly that by providing us with individualized yet top-tier customer support. We felt well-prepared and comfortable during the transition."

The firm plans to continue growing its business by expanding its client base nationally. Through comprehensive financial planning and investment management strategies, the duo will address a broad array of clients’ needs. And Grove Point’s back-end customer service support will allow Meritage Asset Management Group to prioritize building client relationships.
