Our Story
From a simple idea to a lasting commitment.
Berkeley began in 2009 with a desire to provide friends and family with sound investment guidance during uncertain times. Founded by Ryan Peschka, who left his role as a bank CFO to pursue independent investment management, our firm has grown entirely through client referrals. From our humble beginnings, Berkeley’s assets under management has grown significantly. This growth has been achieved organically, by adhering to our fiduciary duty of acting in our clients’ best interests.
