Mark K Vigil, CIMA®

Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager

Hi, I'm Mark the guy on the left in the dark suit, white shirt and red tie. Before starting Tailwind Wealth Advisors I worked at the big Wall Street firms: Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. I took over a year to study and attend the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to become a Certified Investment Management Analyst, CIMA® in 2012. I believed the Graduate level courses and tests taught at the Wharton School on Modern Portfolio Theory, Behavioral Finance, Alternative Investments and Investment Policy would help me be better at my job, it did! I have been recognized and featured several times in San Diego Magazine as a “Five Star Wealth Manager”

I grew up in Orange County, have a degree in Economics from San Diego State University and have been lucky to call Carlsbad home since 1997. I enjoy Triathlons (5-time Ironman Finisher), surfing, golf and wine and not necessarily in that order. I have 2 sons, Cheyne and Christian and have been fortunate to be able to both coach and sponsor their Baseball and Flag Football teams!

Investment Management


Tailwind Wealth Advisors uses customized portfolio design to meet the diverse investment goals of our clients. We do not use cookie cutter strategies rather we tailor our strategies to your unique investment needs.


Our Investment Philosophy

We find time and time again that both Warren Buffet and John Bogle remain as the core foundation for our investment process. From understanding risk and portfolio concentration with Warren Buffet to investment fees and passive investing with John Bogle. We can show you how we use their insights to create custom portfolios.

We use a blend of active investment managers, passive investments and alternative investments (If suitable and qualified) to create customized individual portfolios managed for your specific goals. We are not tied to a single Wall Street firm that's tied to a single set of product offerings.  Instead we have access to all of what Wall Street has to offer allowing us to provide best-in-class solutions for investing and planning.  Vanguard is an example of manager that we can now access where previous firms would not allow us to do so. We offer unbiased, objective and independent advice free from conflict.
