Mike Bornstein

Wealth Management Advisor – Signature Resources Capital Management

As a Wealth Management Advisor with Signature Resources Capital Management (SRCM), Mike provides personal wealth management services for successful individuals and families who want to efficiently grow and position their assets for retirement and effectively mitigate taxes both today and in retirement. Mike also works with a range of business owners to help them build, grow, protect, and transfer a successful business. Having built, managed, and exited his own business, Mike has a unique perspective as a business planning advisor. He is intimately familiar with the financial issues business owners face daily and is skilled at helping them balance running the day-to-day operations by creating financial strategies for the long-term. Mike helps his business clients attract, retain and reward employees by designing and implementing benefit programs including tax-qualified retirement plans such as 401(k), Defined Benefit plans, as well as other group benefit programs.

Mike takes a tax-centric approach to planning, emphasizing tax-efficient strategies and solutions rather than simply seeking the highest rate of return investment vehicles with little regard for the plan. Mike prepares uniquely designed plans with strategies that address each individual’s financial goals and objectives; whether retirement, investment, or insurance-related. He tells every client he works with, “I want to help you protect, preserve and grow what’s most important to you.”

A Santa Monica native, Mike attended John Thomas Dye and Harvard-Westlake School, followed by UC Santa Barbara with stops at Iowa State and UCLA along the way. Prior to his financial services career, he owned a sales and distribution company where he learned first-hand how to build a business from the ground up and take it from start-up to success. Mike lives in El Segundo with his wife Tiffany and two children.

Mark Mowrey, CFA

Chief Investment Officer – Signature Resources Capital Management

With a career in investment research and management spanning nearly two decades, Signature Resources’ Chief Investment Officer, Mark Mowrey, brings a uniquely broad and relevant expertise to the firm. Graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holding the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, his roles have ranged from financial journalism and sell-side equity research to the management of multi-billion-dollar investment portfolios.

Even so, Mark understands that confidence is at best a secondary source of investment success and that hubris and similar emotional states only detract from the investment process. Rather, he believes a methodical approach, grounded in more than a century’s-worth of collective industry knowledge development and evolved to be relevant to the investment challenges and opportunities of today, ultimately will enable the firm to achieve client investment goals.
