More than Money: A Story of Values and Vision
Fahmeda is a first-generation Bangladeshi-American Financial Planner dedicated to reimagining how individuals and families experience wealth—not just as a measure of success, but as a tool for service, dignity, and legacy.
With roots in a family of Bangladeshi entrepreneurs and a deep connection to faith, she brings a rare blend of financial expertise, cultural understanding, and human-centered guidance to her work. Her mission is to support people who live with faith and humanity in their hearts—those who seek to do good in the world with the wealth they're building.
From halal investing and zakat planning to guiding immigrant families in building intergenerational legacies, she's helping clients turn financial planning into a personal, values-driven journey.
Through her work, she's not just building portfolios—she's helping build futures rooted in collective compassion.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
