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.
