Wealth Management

We are proud to announce a change to our team. GSL & Associates and The Wisman Group have decided to merge into one team, which will be one of the largest in the Philadelphia area. Our new team will be known under a new name, Main Line Wealth Management & Associates (MLWM & A).

Advice and Guidance at Every Stage of Your Financial Life

Main Line Wealth Management & Associates (MLWM & A) is a skilled, experienced team of professionals. Our group is multifaceted and offers a range of investment services that extends well beyond traditional asset management services. We truly care about you and your financial well-being. We are committed to providing lifetime wealth care, meaning we are dedicated to advising you during each stage of your financial life.

Our objective is to help you use your wealth to transform your vision of the future into reality. We take an encompassing approach to helping you manage your wealth—an approach that is powered by the relationship we develop with you.

Approach

Every relationship begins with a conversation, helping you identify and prioritize which goals matter most to you. Whether it's transferring wealth to the next generation, customizing your financial approach to help you pursue your passions, or providing advice and guidance to help you stay informed, we start by listening to learn more about you and your family.

Your approach to investing

Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.

Understanding your goals and priorities

Your life and goals change. We have tools to help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial approach.

Lifetime Wealth Care

Building long-term client relationships is the foundation of our business. We understand that we are in a position of trust. We are committed to guiding you through each stage of your financial life:

  • During your working years as you accumulate wealth
  • During your retirement as you harvest and enjoy your wealth
  • Helping you organize the transfer of wealth to the next generation or to charitable organizations

The Merrill principles that guide us in our work are client focus, respect for the individual, teamwork, responsible citizenship and integrity.

Care Coordination

Main Line Wealth Management & Associates has experience helping families with members who have special needs. We can serve as a single point of contact to help you address many aspects of your financial situation, including issues that may be unique to individuals with special needs, such as:

  • Researching/Considering government benefits
  • Considering lifestyle issues
  • Establishing a Special Needs Trust
  • Strategies designed to support the equitable transfer of your estate
  • Involving extended family members

To address your goals you require a strategy that goes beyond investment advice and guidance, one that integrates estate planning services, insurance and trust considerations. Let us help you pursue these goals.
