The Slattery Hruby Group is committed to you. Beyond wealth and asset management, our goal is to help you make more informed decisions on a broader financial and personal scale. Our passion is helping you to pursue your passions. Individually and collectively, we bring a tailored talent to each of your circumstances. We strive to make clients' goals and missions possible. You will find that our team has:
Experience
We have decades of experience working with families. We are committed to helping clients pursue their needs, perspectives and goals.
Resources
In addition to advice and guidance, you have access to the investment insights of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and the banking convenience of Bank of America. We can offer you strategies designed to help you pursue your unique financial goals.
Compassion
We work with a small group of select client families and small businesses so that we can communicate frequently and be aware of what is going on in their lives and businesses. That way we can be ready to guide them in updating strategies as they experience change in their lives.
"As a team we believe in the power of close, personal relationships. We work with multiple generations across their financial lives. We are proud that clients remain with us for many years including their children and grandchildren can do the same. "
-Daniel Slattery, Senior Vice President, Senior Consultant
Merrill's four-step client process starts the moment we begin to talk about your vision, dreams and goals. We discover who you are and where you want to go.
Establish Objectives
From the beginning, The Slattery Hruby Group seeks to understand your vision as clearly as you do. To help attain this, we meet with you and your family (if you choose) or your business. By intently listening, we develop an accurate picture of your current financial life. We ask questions, sometimes tough ones, to help you express and define where you see yourself, your family, and/or your business in the future. We work to understand your time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs and goals.
Set Strategy
Once your objectives are clear, we suggest a customized wealth management or business strategy to help you pursue them. Your strategy's goal will be to strike a balance between expected performance, risk management, wealth preservation and long-term goals. If you come to us with a portfolio, we'll evaluate your positions, weighing their performance and outlook against your defined goals. We're not looking to change everything: If some of your existing investments fit in your new strategy, and you are happy with them, we may recommend keeping them in place. We will also help identify other opportunities that are consistent with your strategy to help expand your financial horizons.
Implement Strategies
Once we have everything in place, our group will launch your strategy. We are able to recommend strategies from a variety of investment platforms, and we'll suggest the ones we feel are most appropriate for you. In addition, we can offer you independent proprietary portfolios through our resources at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. With the knowledge of Merrill, we have a plethora of choices to help you manage and evaluate your strategies along the way.
Review Progress
We are then able to manage performance reviews that helps you track progress and maintain control over your finances. During this process, we also meet regularly with you to review progress. Our reviews are designed to reexamine your portfolio, and then make any necessary strategic adjustments along with any new goals or objectives you want to pursue. From there, we would meet with you regularly to review your progress. We are able to meet in person at our office, your home or any place where you feel comfortable. We also can be in contact with you via email, phone, mail, or over our secure Web viewer system, WebEx. We have many options to make sure we are easily accessible and at your convenience.
At The Slattery Hruby Group, our top priority is helping you and your family manage your diverse and changing financial life. We are experienced in working with families, many of whom own businesses and whose investments and assets may include securities, real and intellectual property, rights and licenses, or business equity stakes. We seek to assess your total financial picture and offer strategies to help you manage, evolve and refine it. What's more, these strategies are customized to your unique objectives. It's a goals-based approach to wealth management designed to encompass:
Asset Preservation
We consider where you want your resources to take you in life and work to calculate how much you need. Then we help you to develop strategies that target preservation as well as growth.
Careful Portfolio Review and Rebalancing
Our team reviews your portfolio, as well as other aspects of your overall financial structure. We can recommend adjustments that can help you to respond to market forces and take advantage of new opportunities. We can also guide you on making strategic shifts to bring your portfolio in line with your changing priorities.

Investment
Dan Slattery and Steve Hruby, our financial advisors, can recommend asset allocations based on your objectives, liquidity needs, time horizon and tolerance for risk. We can also offer alternative investment strategies for certain qualified investors.
Retirement Income Planning Services
Our team can help you lay the foundation for a smooth transition to retirement. We'll look at your specific goals, such as location, lifestyle, income needs, health care costs and more. We can also recommend long-term portfolios designed to preserve and potentially grow your assets up to and through retirement.
