Darius Gagne, PhD, CFP®, CFA

Chief Investment Officer, Partner, Advisor

Every client has their own unique story and relationship to money. I am fortunate to be close to so many wonderful clients who have entrusted me over the years with their greatest hopes and deepest fears around money and life. My commitment is to be there for them no matter what life presents and to bring over 25 years of experience in financial problem-solving to every interaction. Through careful planning, I have helped families and individuals navigate through various market crises, including the Financial Crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic, grow wealth during working years, generate income during retirement, manage real estate, handle company stock & options, design estate strategies, and reduce taxes.

Experience & Qualifications

My journey in wealth management began with the founding of the Quantum Wealth Management in 2005, which was the earliest version of Quantum Financial Advisors, founded in 2022. Over those years, I have served as an advisor, a partner and the Chief Investment Officer. In the first half of the 2000s, I worked at Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) as a financial engineer and portfolio manager. In the second half of the 1990s, I worked in New York as a quantitative analyst modeling complex investments called derivatives for which I was well suited, having previously earned a PhD in quantum physics from UCLA.

Outside of work

I enjoy reading about innovation, the power of free markets, and philosophy. Other passions include yoga, hiking and modern architecture. I also enjoy a game or two of chess and playing my electric guitar (loudly).
