Experience

Donal "Donny" Kasiri began his career in the financial services industry over 20 years ago with UBS. He received a B.B.A. in finance, graduating with honors from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2007.

For two decades, Donny worked closely as a partner with his father, Fred, on the Kasiri Wealth Management team. As a Financial Advisor and CFP® professional, Donny draws upon this invaluable experience, as well as extensive and comprehensive financial training, to prudently practice wealth management tailored to individual circumstances.

He holds the Series 7 and 66 securities licenses as well as life and health insurance and variable annuity licenses.

Donny has distinguished himself among his peers by attaining the Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) certification. The CFP® designation identifies those individuals who have met the rigorous experience and ethical requirements of the CFP Board, have successfully completed financial planning coursework and have passed the CFP® Certification Examination covering the following areas: the financial planning process, risk management, investments, tax planning and management, retirement and employee benefits, and estate planning. CFP® professionals also agree to meet ongoing continuing education requirements and to uphold CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Rules of Conduct and Financial Planning Practice Standards.

Donny and his team believe that wealth management is more than a wide range of services and solutions. This is what separates Kasiri Wealth Management from the rest; they offer a customized wealth management approach, built on a personal relationship and shaped by an understanding of your needs and aspirations. In addition, Donny and his team draw upon the unique advisory and investment brokerage capabilities of UBS—one of the world’s largest wealth management firms.

Donny loves spending time with his dogs, supporting animal shelters, working outdoors and visiting family.
