A steady hand for the long climb.

Jamie Hargrave founded Cadence Capital Investments on a simple belief: the journey to retirement should feel less like a sprint and more like a well-paced climb, with a trusted guide who knows the road.

Jamie Hargrave is the founder of Cadence Capital Investments, an independent, fiduciary financial planning firm in San Ramon, California, helping individuals, families, and retirees across the East Bay plan and pace their way to and through retirement.

Why Cadence Exists

Built around your route, not a product shelf

Jamie started Cadence Capital Investments to do financial planning the way he believed it should be done: independently, transparently, and entirely around the client. The name says it. In cycling, cadence is the rhythm of your pedaling, the steady, sustainable pace that gets you up the longest climbs. Retirement planning works the same way. The households that arrive confident are rarely the ones who pushed hardest in a single year; they are the ones who kept a disciplined rhythm over decades.

As an independent firm, Cadence is not tied to a parent company's products or quotas. That independence means advice can be built around your goals and your terrain alone. When Cadence provides investment advisory services, it does so as a fiduciary on those accounts, with an obligation to put your interests first.

The Philosophy

Find the rhythm, hold the line

Markets climb and descend. Headlines come and go. What carries a plan through is rhythm: a clear destination, a sustainable pace, and the discipline to keep pedaling when the road tilts up. Cadence is built to provide that rhythm, coordinating your income, investments, taxes, and protection so no single decision throws the whole ride off balance.

It also means meeting you where you are. Whether you are years from retirement, weighing a Chevron buyout, or already drawing income, the goal is the same: a plan you understand and a pace you can sustain.

What to Expect

How it feels to work with us

Clarity

Plain language, not jargon. You will understand what we recommend and why before any decision is made.

Independence

No proprietary products and no quotas. Advice is built around your goals, with fiduciary care on advisory accounts.

Local roots

Based in San Ramon and invested in the East Bay community we have called home, including its many Chevron families.

Cadence Capital Investments provides investment advisory services and acts as a fiduciary with respect to those advisory accounts. Advice is fee-based; insurance and annuity products are offered through licensed affiliates and agents, and commissions may apply. This page is general information and is not investment, tax, or legal advice. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
