Where do we begin? It starts with you.

At Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, your financial advisor focuses on the things you care about most- family, goals and priorities - even as they change over the years.

Understanding Your Life

Welcome

There's something to be said for experience, particularly the depth and breadth of experience of the Boyd Wealth Management Group. Our entire team shares a common goal: to help you pursue your personal goals, such as planning for and funding your childrens' educations, helping to ensure that your money lasts in retirement, planning for your potential health care costs, and managing the transfer of wealth to the next generation. Many clients have relied on us for more than 40 years, from one generation to the next.

Clients, we believe, have come to appreciate our professional advice and guidance, as we strive for exceptional level of service, and we work together to develop and execute wealth management strategies built to help them pursue their short- and long-term financial goals.

Our Approach

The Boyd Wealth Management Group gives you full access to Merrill's wide range of tools. We learn about your assets and liabilities. We help you prioritize your financial goals and objectives, then place them in the context of your time line, liquidity needs and personal tolerance for risk. The end result: a wealth management strategy that is designed to help you move forward with clarity.

Investments are considered with your objectives in mind and are recommended only if we feel they have a place in your overall strategy. This team will work with you to reexamine your wealth management strategy whenever you need us to—and find fresh strategies that help to meet your new requirements.

Process

We begin every relationship with a conversation, helping you to identify and prioritize which goals matter most to you. Whether that's transferring wealth to the next generation, customizing financial strategies that help you pursue your passions, or simply providing advice and guidance to help you stay informed, we start by listening to learn more about you. We'll examine several components – your life priorities, investment personality and financial situation – to help create an actionable strategy with personalized advice and measurable goals. We'll be here with you every step of the way, helping you track progress to your goals and working with you to adjust your financial strategy over time.

Investments

We believe that your investments should be a reflection of you — your life, your priorities, your goals. As your dedicated advisor we will get to know what matters most to you and help you define your goals. We use this understanding to help you build a customized financial strategy and offer consistent, personalized advice. Combined with professional management, you can stay on the right path towards pursuing your long-term objectives.

Capabilities

Merrill’s process is designed to help deliver a customized, comprehensive experience to assist you not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Providing you with access to the investment insights of Merrill, trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank, and the banking and lending solutions of Bank of America offers a way to help you manage all of the pieces of your financial life. Working one-on-one with a Merrill advisor means you have a single point of contact to help you with potential strategies for transferring wealth to the younger generation.

Staying on Track

We understand that both your life and the financial markets can change over time. By checking in to discuss changes in your life and revisiting your financial approach, our goal is to help you stay on track to achieve what's most important to you.
