Wealth Management
The BMV Group manages the financial affairs of affluent families, corporate executives and business owners. Our mission is to simplify life for our clients: helping them achieve and protect their goals while finding solutions for any challenges along the way. By providing a single point of contact for our clients and their families, we guide them through any immediate financial need, major transition in career, real estate investment, business sale, retirement, divorce or loss of a loved one.
The BMV Group
Welcome
The BMV Group was formed in the late 1990’s, as John Byren, Daniel Madonia and Pieter van der Heide merged their individual Merrill Lynch Wealth Management practices into one in order to provide a greater standard of service and guidance as their clients’ needs began to change. Over 30 years later, The BMV Group remains at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, and is now comprised of 4 Wealth Management Advisors, 3 Client Associates , 1 Business Manager and 1 Wealth Management Specialist with almost 150 combined years of experience to reference. The BMV mission is simple: Provide valuable and insightful guidance to our clients, identify any risks to their ongoing strategies, and protect their individual goals and objectives. Our clients often include:
- Affluent Individuals and families
- Entrepreneurs and owners of closely held companies
- Sports and Entertainment Professionals
- Individuals and Families navigating major financial events such as business sale, divorce, loss of a spouse, retirement
A Targeted Approach to Wealth Management
While the BMV mission is simple, our process requires discipline and a thorough review of the many aspects of our clients’ financial lives. We review our clients using our “Essential 10”, areas that every client, at a minimum, should address. These areas include:
- Investment Portfolio Risk Assessment
- Family Protection and Insurance Review
- Family Communication, Governance, and Dynamics
- Banking Efficiency
- Liability Efficiency (Personal and Business)
- Education Planning Strategies
- Retirement Cash Flow Projections
- Advisor collaboration – CPA, Attorney
- Philanthropy and Gifting Strategies
- Estate Planning Services and Transition Strategies
Our Commitment to You
We are committed to providing valuable and appropriate strategies to protect our clients’ goals. We uphold a standard of service and professionalism that is unmatched, continuing to obtain advanced credentials in an evolving financial landscape, and remaining a resource for our clients regardless of where their travels or goals take them. We are grateful for the close relationships we have established over the last several decades, and plan on serving these relationships for many, many years to come.
Serving Sophisticated Clients
We focus on a select group of clients—corporate executives, business owners and wealthy individuals and their families—and make it a priority to tailor our services to their specific needs.
Our range of wealth management services goes beyond investments. For businesses and business owners, we offer employee retirement plan administrative services, including 401(k)s, and also offer access to Bank of America credit and lending services. For individuals and families and through Bank of America, we help with wealth transfer, trust and estate planning services, liability management, including home equity and other financing.
"We are pleased that a high percentage of the clients we serve are referrals from others. We take that as a sign that we are delivering on the faith we believe they put in the BMV Group."
