What mutual fund companies are headquartered in Southern California
(from San Diego to Los Angeles County)? (Examples are Nicholas
Applegate (San Diego) and Pacific Life (Newport Beach).) I need a
fairly comprehensive list, along with addresses and phone numbers.

There, I hope that's enough, I checked out every site on the below
link for southern california headquarters, and checked out prospectus
on vague sites.

Main list of Mutual fund companies I researched:

Search terms used: "Directory of Mutual fund companies", then manually
searched all sites from above list

Good luck with your future searches!

Great, resourceful, comprehensive response. Thank you!

Try looking through the directory web sites, which break the web down
into smaller categories.  Specifically, try the Yahoo! site listings
under California.  This link is for Financial Services in Los Angeles.
  http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/California/Cities/Los_Angeles/Business_and_Shopping/Business_to_Business/Financial_Services/Investment_Services/Brokerages/

There are four sites under this link -- you'll still have to do some
digging to get contact information, and then you'd have to search
other cities in California.  I realize this is not ideal!

Proprietary services like Hoovers offer the ability to create narrow
searches and they provide detailed information about the companies in
the results set.  Head over to Hoovers (http://www.hoovers.com) and
see what you could get with a subscription.  For starters, you can do
a customized search by zip code and SIC code (try 6211 = "mutual fund
agents").  They search over 12,000 public US companies and 9,000
private US companies.  From there, you can download financial
information or pdf profiles.

I don't know what the subscription cost is for an individual.  Your
company may have a subscription, or you may be able to access Hoovers
or another database at your public library.

Good luck!

I've done a very limited browse of some mutual fund sites and have
been unable to categorise issuers by headquarter address. That's not
to say that this cannot be done, but it may be overly time-consuming
and innaccurate.

One option might be to contact the SEC's Division of Investment
Management on (202) 942-0659 or e-mail IMOCC@sec.gov. The SEC may be
able to provide that information, given their jurisdiction over the
registration of mutual funds and the administration of databases in
respect thereof.

Alternatively, try the SEC's offices in California: 

Pacific Regional Office
Valerie Caproni, Regional Director
5670 Wilshire Boulevard, 11th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90036-3648
(323) 965-3998
e-mail: losangeles@sec.gov

San Francisco District Office
Helane Morrison, District Administrator
44 Montgomery Street, Suite 1100
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 705-2500
e-mail: sanfrancisco@sec.gov 

The foregoing information is readily available from the SEC's website
at www.sec.gov.

I realise this does not fully answer your question but it may provide
a useful starting point for your search.
