Prabhjit M

Series 66, Series 7

San Dimas, CA

OSAIC

Prab Marwah spent a decade in startup growth marketing before becoming a financial advisor — which means he has strong opinions about burn and churn rates, a soft spot for founders, and a firsthand understanding of what it's like to be great at your job and still feel completely lost when it comes to your money. He works at RYSE Financial, a firm his mother Opinder founded in Southern California. It's a small, relationship-first practice that works with high earners in tech and healthcare, business owners, and solopreneurs — people with real income, real complexity, and not nearly enough hours in the day to figure out what to actually do with it. He takes the work seriously. Himself, a little less so. Outside the office, you'll find him deep in a golf round he definitely could've played better, rewatching an anime he's already seen twice, or rekindling his love for music and DJing. He's based in Los Angeles and works with clients both virtually and in-person. Securities and investment advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
