Antonio Sepulveda Jr.

After 15+ years as a financial planner working for high net worth families and successful business owners, I decided to follow my dream of starting my own firm, to serve people like myself: ambitious, increasingly complex life, and curious to examine my relationship to money. A true high-touch concierge service to go beyond the numbers by understanding what you want from life and what motivates you. We specialize working with AAPI and underserved communities, to undercover your money story to get a deeper meaning of your values and priorities.

Qubera Wealth Management is a fee-only fiduciary RIA in Pasadena, California, serving clients nationally since 2012. I work mainly with tech executives and professionals who hold RSUs, ESPPs, and concentrated company stock, along with physicians, business owners, and women in tech. The core of the practice is planning around equity compensation and the tax strategy that goes with it: timing vesting and sales, reducing a concentrated position without triggering unnecessary tax, and using tools like exchange funds, oil and gas deductions, QSBS, and Qualified Opportunity Zones where they fit. Portfolios are built with quantitative models and factor-based frameworks, and my own retirement assets are invested in the same strategies I build for clients. I offer hourly planning starting at $350, comprehensive plans from $1,600 to $7,500, and ongoing management on a published fee schedule. No commissions, no product sales. Every client has my direct line, and I sign a fiduciary pledge for each one. Qubera Wealth Management serves individuals, high-net-worth clients, and corporate clients. The firm focuses on strategic asset allocation using Modern Portfolio Theory, primarily employing low-cost index funds and selected individual securities, with global diversification and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
