Composition Wealth, a national registered investment advisor (RIA), has expanded its reach by adding two advisory teams, bringing in a combined $481 million in assets. This increases Composition Wealth’s total assets under management (AUM) to $9.5 billion as of July 3, 2025. The new partnerships include:
1.) Blue Oak Capital – Led by Thomas Baker, CFA, this team adds $289 million in AUM and extends Composition Wealth’s Bay Area footprint into Silicon Valley. Baker brings over 25 years of experience serving Silicon Valley professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and families.
2.) Centricity Wealth Management – Founded by Chris and Wendy Ciehanski, this Westerville, Ohio-based firm manages $192 million in assets and marks Composition Wealth’s first office in Ohio, strengthening its Midwest presence. They specialize in comprehensive, fee-only financial planning for clients across various life stages.
These additions follow Composition Wealth’s recent rebrand from Miracle Mile Advisors and continue its strategic growth trajectory. Since the appointment of its CEO in June 2023, the firm has successfully onboarded eight advisory partnerships, building a national platform for high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners.
Composition Wealth offers an integrated approach, providing advisors and RIAs with access to specialists in investments, tax planning, estate strategies, and retirement planning, along with equity ownership opportunities.
Hue Partners advised Blue Oak Capital, and Diamond Consultants advised Centricity Wealth Management on these transactions.
KEY QUOTES:
“Wealth management requires understanding each client’s unique circumstances and goals, whether that’s helping a company founder diversify after an IPO or guiding someone through a major life transition. Joining Composition Wealth allows me to tap into a broader team of specialists while continuing to deliver the personalized guidance my clients expect and deserve.”
Thomas Baker
“Thomas has built a strong firm focused on helping complex clients navigate their financial lives. We’re deeply committed to the Bay Area market and excited to expand our presence into Silicon Valley, which perfectly complements our established presence in Sausalito and the North Bay. Thomas brings exactly the kind of expertise and client focus that resonates with the sophisticated investors throughout the region.”
Bruce Milam, Chief Executive Officer of Composition Wealth
“As we sought a partner, we wanted a firm that could help us both expand our capabilities in financial, tax and estate planning to meet our clients evolving needs. At the same time, we wanted a partner who had a proven track record in attracting next gen talent to help support our long-term succession plan. Composition Wealth has a track record of doing both well.”
