I've had the pleasure of working with Brandon over the last year, specifically with helping me…read moreduring our company's IPO and the impact on company equity. Brandon was very helpful in providing guidance on selling strategies and gave me a plan to prepare for this recent tax season. Over the year, we also worked on a comprehensive financial plan and even went through important aspects of a first home purchase. Brandon and Diversifi Capital are very easy to work with and provide you with customized content based on your financial planning needs. I highly recommend them!

We were so lucky to find Alfred and his team at Diversifi. After years vetting various planners and…read moreadvisors, we were constantly in sticker shock at the price of hiring someone to help manage your money. I love their subscription pricing system as it allows for a monthly payment and relationship build over time, vs a huge lump sum payment that really makes you take a pause. It's pretty brilliant. The team is highly responsive and you can see they have high integrity. I just love this. Onboarding is a challenge if you have many accounts that need to be catalogued, but I have faith they'll improve the process & tools. They offer financial education via video tutorials if that's your thing, but it's not a requirement. The actual consults are organized, efficient, and down to earth in terms of financial vocab. Overall, we're very please and looking forward to working with them for many months to come. Highly recommend!

I have an unfortunately vast amount of experience with identity theft due to a burglary which…read morecompromised all my passwords and other sensitive identiy information. In the course of securing my accounts, I got some serious exposure to the fraud divisions of multiple financial institutions. I give Fidelity top marks. And I compare them to outfits like Citibank. The only other outfit with competitive security is American Express. I closed the problematic accounts and I kept Fidelity and Amex. But lets discuss the investment. I've had competent investment advisors almost all of them from the Mountain View office. The solutions they proposed were financially sound according to principles of investment theory. I can say this because I had my portfolio reviewed by a friend who is in the financial industry and a very successful investor (no he doesn't take small clients like me). He kindly ran an analysis of his portfolio and mine and concluded mine had significantly lower risk while returns were very reasonably competive with his. How can this be? Well Fidelity is enormous. They can execute financial operations with lower costs because of their size. Their top notch technology don't hurt one bit. Due to my circumstances, Fidelity proposed very conservative investments. However, conservative investments in bonds and such like don't protect you from inflation. To do that you need investment in stocks. But if you are lucky you'll get an experienced advisor who had more tricks up his sleeve that your average advisor. This is a big shout out for John Conception who proposed a solution which solved the need for a stable portion of your portfolio while maintaining an aggressive stock portfolio thus resolving the conflicting needs for my retirement funds. Of course John's proposed solution was vetted by my buddy the financial guy who at this point became very interested in John... Thank you John and Happy New Year. After reading some of the other reviews, there seems to be some confusion about Fidelity. It is an investment firm and not a bank. If you examine some of your "Fidelity" checks, you can see it's actually administered by UMB bank. Fidelity or any other investment firm cannot accept deposits, give you cash from your account or give you bank/cashiers/blank checks because they are legally barred from banking operations due to one or the other of the fiscal scandels in the 2000's which rocked the industry. To deposit checks or get cash, go to any ATM. Fidelity wil reimburse you for the fees. To order checks, alas, use the website. I've never tried asking customer service to send me checks but who knows... it might work. If you need to write a check to someone in a hurry and are caught without your checkbook, there are several electronic transfers of funds, one of these might do the trick. You can use the app to deposit checks as well.

Their incompetence cost me over $2000, and they refused to take responsibility…read more Thankfully, Fidelity's competitors offer cash bonuses for moving your money to new investment accounts. Search for "brokerage account bonus". I moved mine to JP Morgan, Schwab, and Tastytrade and netted far more than the $2000 loss Fidelity caused. Pankit Patel was my financial advisor. He earned a commission of nearly $500 on the transaction that cost me the money. He never once offered this as a gesture of reconciliation, nor did he ever apologize. No one at the company did. 2 stars because Fidelity has some good products: their cash back Visa, fee-free ATM card, and their zero-cost index funds.

Wake-Up Call of a Lifetime…read more As someone who's spent years in the medical field as a nurse -- dedicating myself to caring for others -- I'll be the first to admit: I never really took care of my financial health. I didn't grow up with good financial habits, and I've never been someone who felt confident navigating money, retirement, or planning for the future. But getting Sunny involved was the turning point. This wasn't just financial advice -- this was a total mindset shift. Working with Sunny was a real wake-up call, in the best way. He helped me do what I had avoided for far too long: face the numbers -- and gain power over them. Together, we mapped out my retirement goals, created a plan for my daughter's 529 college fund, and broke down exactly how much I need to save and spend each month. For the first time, the fog cleared. The future became real, and possible. And here's the kicker -- I always thought I was overspending... but once we ran the numbers? Sunny told me I could actually splurge once in a while! Imagine that! For someone who thought financial planning meant restriction and fear, this was like breathing oxygen for the first time. Sunny isn't just knowledgeable -- he's relatable, caring, and deeply committed to helping people like me realize: I can do this. He didn't just build a plan. He helped me build belief. If you're on the fence -- don't wait like I did. I only wish I had started this at the beginning of my career. I could've avoided years of waste and guesswork. But now? I'm taking ownership of my financial future, and it feels incredible. If you're ready to stop living in the unknown and start building the life you deserve, talk to Sunny. He's the real deal. Highly, highly recommend

Sunny is a tremendous person who excels in what he does. He helps you identify your goals and…read moredevise a plan to get you on track. He does so in a very relatable and approachable manner. I would not hesitate to refer my dearest friends and family to him, and have done so in the past.
