Antonio Arellanes
Antonio Arellanes is a Financial Advisor for GK Wealth Management. He has been working in the financial advising industry since the beginning of his college career, starting his journey as an administrative director for Ameriprise, which allowed him to have hands-on experience within the industry at a young age. Not long after, Antonio met Griffin and Clayton, and was given the opportunity to intern for GK Wealth Management. This opportunity changed the trajectory of his career for the better.
His first-hand experience in independent wealth management made it clear to Antonio that he wanted to leave the traditional structure of the industry and work as a fiduciary Financial Advisor, enabling him to better serve clients without the conflicts of interest often found in the broker-dealer environment.
When he first joined GK Wealth Management, it didn’t take long for Antonio to notice that he had joined a firm that prioritizes efficiency and clarity, focusing on streamlined wealth preservation, tax optimization, and portfolio efficiency to help clients achieve their goals with precision and confidence. With Griffin and Clayton’s exceptional mentorship, Antonio learned how to build detailed strategies and help clients navigate the intricacies of their finances to effectively optimize their financial well-being.
Antonio’s drive to help others with personal wealth management stems from the fulfillment he found by educating himself with financial and estate planning in order to assist his own family so early in his life. As the middle son of a single mother of five, he hopes to guide his family toward economic stability and security, as well as many other families that are in need.
Antonio graduated with two Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics and Finance from the University of Nevada, Reno. During his time as a college student, Antonio served as President of the Nevada Student Investment Organization, and represented the university at the Rotman International Trading Competition in Toronto, where he ranked above top institutions such as Princeton and Columbia University.
His interests include snowboarding, rock climbing, and spending time with his younger siblings. Antonio serves on the board of The Hayek Group, which focuses on the philanthropic initiative to make financial literacy curriculum available to all schools in Northern Nevada.
