Clutinger Williams & Verhoye is an SEC-registered investment advisory firm in Del Cerro, operating from Suite 3 at 6398 Del Cerro Boulevard, San Diego 92120, in the hillside residential district between SDSU and Lake Murray. Thomas H Clutinger and Louis E Williams founded the firm in 1970, and it has operated continuously for more than five decades — the first 30 years in downtown San Diego before relocating to the Del Cerro office in March 2001. President and CEO Scott B Williams, CFA, CFP, joined the practice in February 1995 and carries both the Chartered Financial Analyst and Certified Financial Planner designations, dual credentials that fewer than 10 percent of advisory practitioners hold simultaneously. Portfolio construction follows a discretionary model for the majority of accounts, with asset allocation tailored to each client's goals — an approach that benefits from long-dated CPA coordination with Goldstein & Goldstein in San Carlos for tax-efficient rebalancing. The firm manages approximately $163 million in assets under management across roughly 255 accounts, according to its most recent Form ADV filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under registration number 801-5935. The client base includes 55 high-net-worth individuals, retail investors, pension and profit-sharing plans, and eight charitable organizations with a combined $15.3 million in managed endowment assets. Pension consulting services cover plan design, fiduciary compliance, and investment-menu evaluation for employer-sponsored retirement programs — the same governance discipline that youth-focused financial-education groups such as Junior Achievement of San Diego County in Grantville champion at the individual level. BBB accreditation since 2002 and an A-plus rating reflect a disciplinary record free of client complaints, enforcement actions, or arbitration filings. Fee structures include asset-based and hourly billing, with no wrap-fee programs and no product-sales revenue — a compensation model designed to minimize conflicts of interest. Portfolio Manager and Treasurer Kent Edwin Stone rounds out the two-advisor team, maintaining a 1-to-100 advisor-to-client ratio that keeps direct access to a named portfolio manager rather than a rotating service desk.
