The problem

The hidden risks of RSUs

1

Estate Tax Trap

Non-US residents are subject to US estate (inheritance) tax on the value of their US-domiciled assets exceeding $60k, at progressive rates of up to 40%

2

Concentration Risk

Your job + wealth tied to the same company. Your holdings may not reflect your risk profile and time horizon.

3

Liquidity Risk

Employer broker accounts only let you hold cash or the employer's stock, not reallocate into a broader portfolio

Deepak Menon
"Craft matters. Paasa's experience is clean, but the real win is the rigor behind it; I needed clarity. Paasa delivered - FEMA guidance I could act on, onboarding that just worked, and portfolios that felt built for diversification of RSUs, not retrofitted. Disclosure: I'm an angel investor in Paasa."

"My experience with Paasa has been excellent. They have made global investing straightforward, especially when it comes to managing overseas investments and navigating U.S. estate tax implications. What I value most is their strong local support in India, they ensure everything aligns with FEMA, LRS, and taxation requirements. It's rare to find a team that bridges global opportunities with local compliance so seamlessly."
