Meet Amir Monsefi | CEO and Co-Founder of AIRE Advisors

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amir Monsefi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amir, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Our thought process behind starting AIRE Advisors was driven by a desire to create what we felt was the ideal client experience in the wealth advisory industry. We wanted to create a firm that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our clients by centering our approach solely around their needs and interests.

That is why we founded the firm with a vision to provide comprehensive and holistic financial advice, addressing every aspect of our clients’ financial lives. Central to this vision is our dedication to transparency — both in our processes and in our fee structure. We believe that clients deserve to know exactly what they are investing in and how much it will cost, without any hidden fees or surprises.

Education was another key pillar behind the conception of AIRE. We firmly believe that the key to long-term investing success is client education. By regularly providing simple, easy-to-understand, and engaging information, we aim to empower our clients to make informed decisions. This commitment to education reflects our belief that informed clients are better equipped to navigate the complexities of investing and achieve their financial goals.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We created AIRE because we wanted to establish a firm that models our interpretation of the ideal client experience centered solely around the client. We recognize that no two clients are the same, and as such, we do not rely on cookie-cutter models or broad, one-size-fits-all strategies. Instead, we approach each portfolio with a unique, individualized plan, customizing both our strategy and execution to meet the specific needs and goals of each client.

This commitment to personalization sets us apart from most in the industry. While some might argue that our highly tailored approach is less efficient, we believe that true success in wealth management is achieved through genuine customization rather than mere trading efficiency. Our investment process begins and ends with our clients. We take the time to understand their goals, needs, and mindsets, ensuring that every decision we make is aligned with their best interests. Additionally, we prioritize educating our clients on the true nature of investing, steering them away from the pitfalls of hyped misinformation and helping them understand how their behavior can impact their financial health.

We are particularly proud of the recent launch of AIRE One, our comprehensive family office concierge service designed specifically for ultra-high-net-worth families with investable assets of $25 million or more. AIRE One was conceived to address the unique challenges these families face, providing a holistic approach to managing their wealth through generations. This service encompasses expertise in planning, administration, and overall wealth management, helping them achieve their financial aspirations while preserving their legacy.

At AIRE Advisors, our mission is to empower our clients through innovative strategies, personalized service, and comprehensive education. We are excited to continue this journey, seeking to set new standards in the financial advisory space and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Most of what I’ve been doing in the city lately involves my wife and our children, so these days, my recommendations will be a little kid-heavy! Here’s a potential itinerary for a week-long trip in Los Angeles:

We’d kick things off at the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier, enjoying ocean views, street performances, and some family-friendly rides. Lunch at one of the promenade’s great restaurants would be perfect. Next, a day at Universal Studios and Universal CityWalk is a must. The theme park offers something for everyone, and CityWalk has fantastic dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

A visit to Griffith Park Observatory would be both educational and enjoyable, with stunning city views and engaging exhibits for all ages. The Getty Center is another highlight, with its beautiful architecture, gardens, and world-class exhibits. In the evenings, we might attend a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, a legendary venue with a unique atmosphere. I would also suggest catching a game from one of our iconic local sports teams, like the Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, Angel City FC, LA Galaxy or LAFC, to experience the city’s sports scene.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a trip to LA without going to the most notable tourist destinations, such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, and Beverly Hills. After all the fun, we could relax with a round of golf at one of the many beautiful courses in the area.

This itinerary offers a mix of my favorite family-friendly activities, cultural experiences, and entertainment options, ensuring a memorable week for anyone visiting the LA area.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my mother, whose unwavering guidance and values have shaped both my journey profoundly. She taught me the importance of kindness, hard work, and thinking of others, instilling in me a commitment to making a positive impact on society. Her wisdom and encouragement have been the cornerstone of my personal and professional development, reminding me always to strive for excellence and compassion in all my endeavors.

Through her example, I’ve learned the value of resilience and empathy, qualities that have guided me through challenges and successes alike. Her belief in me has fueled my ambition and inspired me to pursue my goals with determination and integrity. I am forever grateful for her love, support, and the invaluable lessons that continue to shape my life to this day.
