Ripple Leung, CRPC^®

Financial Advisor

Ripple believes everyone should have a financial plan so that they can retire and live with dignity and confidence. At a young age, she discovered what it meant to be successful, but not entirely confident in the meaning behind her wealth. Ripple gained a perspective related to her finances and sought to educate others about the importance of financial planning and understanding. After moving to the United States in 2004, Ripple became a financial advisor and has since dedicated her work to helping others reach their goals. 

Helping clients develop a sound and balanced plan is what energizes Ripple on a regular basis. She also provides advanced planning for high net worth household working along with attorneys and CPAs. For those clients preparing for retirement, she focuses on asset creation and growth, and then migrates to asset protection and preservation during retirement years.

Designations & Credentials

Over time, Ripple has earned many credentials and received advanced training as a financial advisor. Currently an investment Advisor Representative (IAR) and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) of Voya Financial Advisors, Ripple holds Series 7 and 66 registrations, as well as Life, Health, Variable and Long Term Care licenses with the State of California. 

Ripple studied Commerce at the University of Toronto, Ontario and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies and Psychology at the University of Windsor Ontario in Canada.

On a Personal Note

She is the proud mother of twin sons and in her free time participates in many local civic, community and church organizations. She was a former Vice-Chairman of Fremont Planning Commission and Fremont Human Relations Commissioner as well as former President and Treasurer for the Lions Club.

An advocate of continued learning, Ripple loves acquiring knowledge by reading, visiting museums, watching movies and interacting with people. In the past, she loved to cook and entertain. Now, she’s excited about the opportunities that traveling offers and enjoys experiencing different and exotic cultures and history associated with new places.
