About Marie Thomasson, CFP ®

Hi! I’m Marie, a financial advisor with progressive values

I work with people who want more.

More for their retirement. More for their family. More for the planet and all the people who inhabit it. Because I want more for my clients, myself, my community, and especially for my sons and the world they’ll inherit.

How it all started —

I started this journey with a prestigious internship in asset management at TCW after studying Applied Mathematics at UCLA. It lasted 13 long years, overseeing over six billion dollars in bonds for pension funds, institutions, and banks. 

The experience left me with a deep skillset, and a deeper longing to change an industry saturated in privilege, misogyny, and self-interest.

I don’t blindly take orders that I know will harm more than it will help. I’m not the planner who will identify the accountant that will help you pay zero taxes. I won’t help profit off of war or political instability for personal self-interest. I believe that healthcare and education should not be tied to a profit motive, and that deregulation has harmed more than it’s helped. 

If you don’t like my politics, you won’t understand my economics. My investing considers collective well-being in tandem with personal profit. I can show you how to balance market returns with the privilege of being shareholders.

I’m outspoken and opinionated. I’m a fiduciary for my clients, but also consider myself a friend and fiduciary of our planet, social justice, and good governance. 

So here I am, working to change our reality in the way that I know best — redefining wealth management.

Hi there!

My name is Yenifer Herrera, and I am pleased to be working for Modern Assets in client operations. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Cal State LA.

I am a very detailed, goal-oriented person, and I enjoy seeing the end results of hard work.

I love helping people find solutions. If I do not know an answer, I will try my best to figure it out.

When I'm not working, you might find me researching baby gear. With two kids under two years old, I have a good reason to be passionate about this hobby!

I am delighted to be a part of Modern Assets, and I am here to support you in any way I can!
