Welcome

Our advice and guidance are grounded by a focus on your goals and priorities, and helping you reach your goals. Merrill’s strategic, planning-based process places you, the investor, at the center of attention, not the market. The process begins by carefully listening to you, understanding your unique concerns, priorities, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, and goals. From there, the team will work with you to develop a customized strategy that connects your personal, professional and business goals. Over time, we’ll meet to track progress to your goals and make any necessary adjustments to help keep your plan on track.

Philosophy

You live in a world that’s constantly changing. Markets can fluctuate frequently. Potential investment opportunities can arise daily. Regulations are enacted or amended. That’s why understanding you and your situation is the best place to start helping you plan your financial future: where you are today, where you want to be tomorrow, and what you want to accomplish along the way. By understanding you and your priorities, we can more effectively provide you with the experience and resources needed to help you build a personalized plan that is rooted in the unique complexities of your life.

Approach

Our approach to investing is grounded in an understanding of you. It all begins with a conversation. We take the time to get to know you — your children's names, how hard you worked to get where you are and how you define success. We'll work together with you to help understand your personal investment style, prioritize your goals and build an individualized plan that reflects your needs. As an investor you can benefit from the investment insights of Merrill, along with access to trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank and credit and lending solutions from Bank of America. There’s only one financial approach that really matters — yours.

Capabilities

Our financial planning process begins by getting to know you and understanding your goals. We can collaborate so the team can gain a comprehensive understanding of your goals, what you value most, including your risk tolerance, time horizon, and liquidity needs. One-on-one discovery meetings with you draw on the analytical skills and deep experience of the team to review your portfolio and objectives so that we can work closely together to create a personalized plan to help you pursue your goals.

Recognition

Merrill is proud of our advisors who’ve received recognition from financial industry publications or directly from Bank of America Corporation. We believe they are setting the standard for exemplary client service.
