Mark Frederick

I, Mark D. Frederick, was born in Palo Alto, California and spent most of my childhood in Granite Bay, California. I attended California State University, Sacramento where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, and a minor in Math and Economics. During this time, I completed two internships with Wells Fargo Bank and Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. In 1990 I went to work for a respected financial planning firm, American Express Financial Advisors, Inc. where I was appointed as part of their Advanced Planner Group. This is a select group containing the top 5% of over 8,500 Personal Financial Advisors across the country.

In 1996, my professional growth directed me to a more objective and independent position for my clients at SunAmerica Securities, Inc., in Roseville, California. As a representative and Branch Manager, I provided comprehensive securities and insurance services, helping clients build and manage their financial portfolios with confidence and long-term strategy. 

I left SunAmerica in 2006, just before AIG (SunAmerica’s Parent Company) ran into financial trouble in 2008, and joined First Allied Securities, Inc., now called Cetera Advisors LLC, a broker dealer based in San Diego. Since making the transition, I’ve continued to focus on comprehensive financial planning. My practice has expanded significantly, and I now manage a substantial portfolio of client assets.

I have been involved in the field of finance for over twenty years. Hard work, honest commitment and quality service that my clients deserve, has made me extremely fortunate in the industry. I am currently enrolled in the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) program, which will enable me to carry the CFP designation. I have also recently enrolled in Certified Wealth Strategist® Designation (CWS). This further portrays my commitment to the professionalism and technical background one should expect in a trusted advisor. I hold securities registrations and insurance licenses, and also own a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm based in California. As a fiduciary firm, we are dedicated to acting in our clients’ best interests at all times.

I offer a full range of financial services, including retirement planning, education planning, tax planning, estate planning and insurance planning. I also provide business planning and seminars for local, privately held companies and multi-national corporations. Furthermore, to promote the growth of my business and personal life, I have become actively involved as a member of the Roseville Chamber of Commerce and colleague of the Representative Advisory Council (RAC). Our office consists of a staff of five. Two administrative assistants, two licensed advisors and a Head Administrator.

Concluding on a personal note, I have been married 28 years to my best friend, Kim. We both share in the responsibilities of building my practice, in which Kim acts as my Office’s Head Administrator. We currently reside in Lincoln, CA with our Miniature Dachshund, Maggie, and a Miniature Poodle, Cali. We both enjoy boating, golfing, horseback riding, skiing, family and friends.
