Roberto Guzman - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Financial Advisor
  • Founder
Roberto was born and raised in Puebla, Mexico until the age of 17, when his family moved to San Diego, California. There he attained his high school diploma and later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a higher education. In 2004, while working and going to school full-time, Roberto completed his undergraduate studies in Finance and International Business at Cal State Long Beach. His career as a Financial Advisor began shortly thereafter while working for American Express Financial Advisors, currently known as Ameriprise Financial. While he appreciated the experience he acquired while working at a large financial firm, he strived to have investment freedom and flexibility. His focus has always been comprehensive financial planning and investment solutions. In 2010, he co-founded Oxford-Guzman Financial, an independent financial firm. After working in partnership for nearly ten years, it was time for Roberto and his business partner to go their separate ways in pursuit of their own individual, personal and business goals. In 2020, Roberto rebranded under the name New Growth Financial where he continues to create custom financial plans for his clients, as well as implementing investment strategies that are in alignment with their goals. Roberto's area of expertise includes: portfolio construction, annuities, private equity programs, life, disability and long term care insurance, alternative investments (REIT's and BDC's), and retirement programs. Roberto has been married to the love of his life for over 15 years; together they share three young children. He is an avid outdoorsman; and when he isn't spending quality time with his family, you can often find him hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, camping, trail running and adventure racing. He has summited Mt. Whitney twice and most recently climbed Kilimanjaro, the world's highest single free-standing mountain.
