Grant Arthur Gochin is a financial advisor with nearly 40 years of experience in the financial services industry. He is President of Grant Arthur & Associates Wealth Services, LLC, where he advises individuals and families on investment management, retirement planning, and long-term wealth strategy. His practice emphasizes disciplined planning, risk management, and continuity across generations and market cycles.
Grant is a registered financial advisor with Raymond James. Prior to joining Raymond James, he held senior advisory and leadership roles at UBS Financial Services and Merrill Lynch, serving as Vice President and Wealth Advisor. He holds an MBA with academic honors and is a Certified Financial Planner® professional.
In addition to his financial service practice, Grant serves as a FINRA Arbitrator, applying decades of industry experience, regulatory knowledge, and practical judgment to the resolution of financial disputes.
Outside of his professional responsibilities—and conducted exclusively in his personal time—Grant is engaged in a range of international civic, humanitarian, and civil-rights-related activities. He serves as Honorary Consul for the Republic of Togo, as Emeritus Special Envoy for Diaspora Affairs for the African Union, and previously served as Emeritus Dean of the Los Angeles Consular Corps. These roles are honorary in nature and are entirely separate from his financial advisory practice.
Grant is also actively involved in international civil rights and self-determination advocacy. He serves in an advisory capacity to the Mthwakazi Republic Party, focusing on recognition doctrine, historical accountability, and non-violent remedial self-determination under international law. This work reflects a long-standing interest in governance, rule-of-law frameworks, and minority rights, and is pursued independently of his professional role.
In parallel, Grant maintains interests in historical research, cultural preservation, and philanthropy. He has served on numerous Jewish communal and nonprofit boards and is the author of Malice, Murder and Manipulation. These pursuits reflect a broad intellectual and civic engagement and do not intersect with client advisory services.
Grant’s clients value his experience, judgment, and global perspective—qualities shaped by a long career grounded first and foremost in financial services, complemented by a wide range of disciplined personal interests.
