About Us

In other words, we're a bridge between generations — not just for dollars and cents, but for your values and priorities as well. In fact, we regularly meet with our clients' children to help them develop the financial literacy needed to make smart choices for their future. By focusing on the family as a whole, we help you and your loved ones build a true legacy of excellence, with a lasting impact that extends generations.

Equity Compensation

Tab Image
Making money in Silicon Valley isn’t easy. Neither is preserving it. At Artha Wealth Management, we recognize the complexity and interconnectedness of your financial life. Our goal is to help simplify your finances, so you can focus on what truly matters to you, within and outside of your career. Our seasoned team is dedicated to guiding you at every step of your complex financial landscape — helping you design creative solutions to optimize your wealth management approach, overcome obstacles, and achieve your long-term objectives.
Equity Compensation and Workplace Advisory Services
Today, equity-based compensation is par for the course. But the volatility of assets like stock options and restricted stock units can make planning for the future complicated. Our custom, comprehensive strategies are designed to help you navigate this volatility with an eye toward tax implications and liquidity needs. We provide tailored investment solutions to help you diversify your holdings and align your portfolio with your retirement and legacy goals. With a Workplace Advisor-Equity Compensation Specialist on our team, we even have the capabilities to collaborate with company leadership to provide their employees with comprehensive financial education and planning services across restricted stock units, stock options, and employee stock purchase plans. Not only can this help employees achieve greater financial wellness, but it can also help companies attract and retain top talent.
Our Process: The Artha FORMula
The Artha FORMula is rooted in our belief that every client is unique. When working with a new client, our goal to is to learn about who you are and what matters to you most: Family, Occupation, Recreation, Motivation. By taking the time to learn your individual F.O.R.M., we implement our team’s proprietary Wealth Navigator to help organize all aspects of your financial life. This includes your family, professional advisors, life goals, strategies to achieve your goals, and our approach to execute these strategies.
Complex Tax & Regulatory Considerations
Any time significant wealth is involved — let alone sudden wealth accumulation — tax consequences must be a priority. Our team equips you with an in-depth knowledge of tax codes and regulations specific to high and ultra-high net worth wealth. Collaborating with your team of advisors, we provide guidance on stock option exercises, capital gains treatment, Rule 10b5-1, and transfer strategies to help you make informed financial decisions.
Value-Aligned Strategies
For many of our clients, their focus isn’t just on accumulating wealth, but about using that wealth to make a positive impact on the world around them. As advisors, we help you align your financial strategies with your family and community values. This includes everything from Donor-Advised Funds to Endowments and Family Foundations.

Case Studies and Why We Do It?

    Icon Image
    Case Study #1
    Years ago, we began working with two company founders whose business was in its early stages of growth. But at the time, they lacked the professional team needed to organize and optimize both their business and personal affairs. Recognizing this, we stepped in to assemble a specialized group of professionals including CPAs, attorneys, and insurance professionals to ensure they were well-prepared for the success we envisioned for them.

    As the business grew over the years, so did their assets and needs. Thus, we continued to refine their financial, estate, and tax planning strategies, implementing a variety of tactics such as gifting strategies, life insurance planning, and advanced estate planning. At every step, we aimed to support their business growth while also safeguarding their family's estate and tax planning needs. Eventually, they began divesting portions of their business, confident that their personal and family needs, as well as their philanthropic goals, would be met for generations to come.

    By implementing effective strategies, we’ve been able to help generate significant savings in their estate taxes and income taxes over time. But we take even greater pride in the deep bond that has developed between us. Their care for our team and our families matches our own care for theirs. This is the reason we’re in this business: to build enduring relationships while helping clients achieve their financial goals and create lasting legacies.
    Case Study #2
    When a young married couple sought our help, their company was preparing to go public. They knew the IPO would have significant implications on their lives, presenting both exciting opportunities and complex challenges. But they came to us because their goals were complex. Beyond securing themselves and their children for the future, they also wanted to provide care for aging parents who lived abroad, help extended family members relocate to the United States, and make a charitable impact.

    Our team got to work on all fronts. We crafted a customized financial plan and tax-efficient investment strategy that accounted for their goals, concerns, risk tolerance, and philanthropic mission. Utilizing advanced modeling techniques, we helped them envision the impact of various economic scenarios. And recognizing the multifaceted nature of their financial journey, we built out their network of accountants and attorneys to help cover all facets of their evolving needs.

    As we guided the family through their IPO journey, we nurtured a relationship built on trust, empathy, and patience. After all, a sudden wealth event can be dizzying for clients. There’s so much to consider, so many decisions to be made. Our goal was to help them achieve clarity and confidence. That’s why we took the time to understand what truly mattered to them, and to give them the tools and insights they needed to understand where they stood — and where they were headed.

    The bottom line is that our team goes beyond the numbers. We want to know what’s important to our clients and what keeps them up at night. By taking the time to explore the deeper meaning of their wealth, we help empower them to achieve their aspirations, protect their family, and preserve their legacy.

What is "Quiet Wealth?"

"Quiet wealth" is a term used to describe individuals or families who have a significant amount of wealth but prefer to live without the ostentation typically associated with affluence. These are people who might have net worth in the tens or even hundreds of millions but lead regular lives and might even blend into an average neighborhood.

There are many people today who fit this description — often gaining significant wealth quickly through equity compensation or a successful IPO — and many need guidance in managing their newfound financial resources. This is where our team steps in, offering a full-service wealth management service.

In any sudden wealth event, our team manages the quantitative side of things: strategizing tactics to help minimize tax consequences, diversifying concentrated equity positions, setting up trusts and estate planning. But we also help you understand the qualitative side of your wealth — in other words, its purpose in your life, which often includes charitable interests and legacy goals.

As our client, we can also equip you with a Signature Access Lifestyle Advisor. This exclusive concierge service acts as an extension of our team, focused intensively on aligning your wealth with your everyday needs. This includes professional guidance spanning travel and concierge services, college admissions counseling for your children, health and security services, aircraft and yacht advisory, staffing and real estate services, and more.

In a world increasingly focused on outward displays of wealth, the concept of quiet wealth is refreshing. It represents a shift in values, emphasizing the importance of purpose and meaning. This ties back to our team’s name, "Artha," and the belief that wealth should have a purpose. Having decades of experience helping executives with equity compensation and IPOs, we understand their unique needs and circumstances. Using this approach, we help them navigate their financial futures with confidence, purpose, and a focus on the values that truly matter to them.
