Rajas Desai learned the value of wealth management advice at a young age. His parents were educated immigrants who left a great life in another country to come to America. Watching them work hard, save and invest without guidance showed him that they could have achieved so much had they received the planning insight of a wealth advisor.
Though he began his career on the institutional side of the financial industry, private wealth management was Rajas’s calling. Today, as a Senior Wealth Strategy Associate with UBS Private Wealth team Trident Partners, he provides clients—ultra high net worth entrepreneurs, executives and their family offices—with a comprehensive financial plan—their road map for financial wellness. Rajas’s plans integrate investment advice, trust and estate planning strategies, philanthropy and financial education. He often works with entire families to address their needs around multigenerational wealth and legacy planning. His team’s highly personalized service model, combined with the extensive ultra high net worth expertise and resources of UBS, provides Rajas with the support and solutions his clients deserve.
