Roshan Weeramantry is the Director of RINA Wealth Management Services, LLC. Roshan has worked for investment firms that manufacture mutual funds, retirement products, and alternative investments. Before joining RINA Wealth, he was a Senior Regional Vice President at Strategic Capital Distributors; a firm focused on specialty alternative investments. Roshan was part of the founding team and played a critical role in growing the company from being a start up to 5 billion in assets. Prior to Strategic Capital, Roshan served as a Regional Vice President at AXA Distributors and DWS Group.

His experience showed Roshan how widely the quality of the client’s experience varied depending on the advisor’s approach. While many advisors were committed to doing what’s right for their clients, others remained stuck in the traditional Wall Street culture that prioritized company profits over people. Increasingly bothered by this discrepancy and looking for a way to make a positive impact on client’s lives, Roshan joined RINA Wealth Management as its Director in 2018.
