Our Team
Tony Krvaric
President, Wealth Manager
Born and raised in Sweden, Tony Krvaric was inspired by Ronald Reagan's optimism and unshakable belief in free enterprise, individual liberty, and limited government, vowing to one day come to America and pursue his own American Dream.
In 1992 he immigrated legally and arrived in San Diego, starting his own business in the computer industry. Six years later he discovered his passion; helping individuals and families make smart financial choices - and joined A.G. Edwards & Sons as a full-service Financial Consultant.
After patiently going through the naturalization process for nearly thirteen years, Tony became an American citizen in 2003, calling it "one of the proudest days" of his life. He immediately registered to vote as a Republican and has never missed an election.
After a large bank bought A.G. Edwards in 2007 the "client first" mentality changed, and Tony founded Krvaric Capital & Risk Management – a boutique, independent financial services practice focused on helping select individuals and families manage, preserve, and distribute wealth.
Clients are typically individuals and families that enjoy professional, fiduciary relationships based on trust and shared values. The firm employs the Bucket Strategy - a time segmenting technique - to help their clients achieve their short-, medium-, and long-term goals.
Tony is also Chairman Emeritus of the Republican Party of San Diego County – where he served for 14 years, charged with electing and re-electing Republicans to all levels of government.
In his spare time Tony engages in causes that advance freedom, preserve our culture, and honor America's founding principles. Fun fact: He also loves 80's music, electronic music, and video games, describing himself as a 'closet nerd'.
His values system stems from learning about the horrors of collectivism and communism that his parents suffered in Yugoslavia (present-day Croatia) and led them to seek a better life in Sweden.
Tony lives in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego with his wife of nearly 30 years. They have three sons and a daughter. The family attends St. Michael's Catholic Church in Poway where Tony is a proud Brother Knight of the Fourth Degree.
