Gerald Hayton

Gerald Hayton has dedicated more than four decades to helping clients build, preserve, and manage their wealth through disciplined investment planning. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, Gerald began his career serving five years in the U.S. Army, including a year stationed in Korea. His leadership experience and commitment to integrity have shaped his approach to advising clients ever since.

After moving to Visalia in 1975, Gerald began his financial career with Dean Witter, later Dean Witter Morgan Stanley, where he spent over 30 years guiding clients through changing markets and life stages. In 2009, he transitioned to independence by joining LPL Financial, continuing to serve his clients with the same dedication and personal attention. In 2022, Gerald partnered with Nunes Wealth Management to ensure his clients would continue receiving the trusted guidance they’ve come to rely on as he gradually transitions toward retirement.

Born into a farming family in Patterson, California, Gerald understands the value of hard work and long‑term planning. He and his wife, Kathy, enjoy traveling together — especially to Maui and Napa Valley — and appreciate the balance between professional purpose and personal fulfillment that defines a life well planned.
