Award-Winning Santa Barbara Wealth Advisor Featured in International Business Journal
Santa Barbara, CA - November 24, 2025 - Consistently recognized for excellence in client outcomes and asset management, Santa Barbara-based Montecito Capital Management has once again earned national attention - this time in a new feature published by International Business Journal . The article spotlights the firm's award-winning track record, its disciplined fiduciary framework, and the strong performance results that have made Montecito one of Southern California's most respected boutique wealth management firms.
Founded in 2004, Montecito Capital Management has grown steadily by adhering to a rare fiduciary commitment-embraced by only about 12% of advisors nationwide - ensuring all guidance is delivered solely in the client's best interest. But as the IBJ article notes, the firm's success is driven by more than fiduciary alignment: its accolade-rich history, multi-decade investment expertise, boutique structure, independent advice, secure Schwab custody, tailored portfolio strategies, and competitive fee model all contribute to its strong regional and national standing.

"I founded this firm to deliver institutional-grade investment oversight directly to individual investors-without the conflicts found across retail financial advice," said Kip Lytel, CFA, founder and Chief Investment Officer. Lytel's background includes senior roles within multi-billion-dollar asset managers, where he refined his research-driven approach to portfolio construction.

All client assets are held with Charles Schwab for added visibility, security, and 24/7 access.
