Aida Babayan

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

I began my career in finance over thirty years ago. I started as a mergers and acquisitions analyst with Baxter Travenol. I then continued to Public Storage,Inc in 1987 in the role of Director of Finance. My responsibilities included developing initial public offerings, structuring real estate investment trusts, preparing due diligence and raising capital through pension plans and institutional investors.

In 1995, I became a financial advisor in Global Wealth Management at Merrill Lynch. In addition to helping clients, I was also the Resident Director of the LA Trading Floor office, managing 20 financial advisors with 6 billion in client assets under management and 40 million in revenue.

In 2016, I transferred my wealth management practice to UBS Financial Services, Inc. in Pasadena. I am passionate about working with my clients; preparing financial plans for professionals and business owners. I work alongside my clients to develop, implement, and monitor investment portfolios in order to achieve their financial goals in the most tax efficient manner. Aside from providing investment advice, I regularly consult in liability and estate concerns and advise on advanced estate planning strategies such as charitable remainder trusts and irrevocable life insurance trusts.

I received my Bachelors in Business Administration and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. I obtained my Masters in Business Administration from California State University, Northridge in 1990.
