We recognize that continuity is important—not only for each client, but for his or her children and grandchildren, too. That’s why our team includes different generations of advisors, mirroring the make-up of the families we serve. We think a client’s wealth strategy is too important to reside wholly with one individual; we collaborate so that clients have robust coverage for their needs.
The Linke-Pearson Group
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
Welcome

The Linke-Pearson Group is a wealth management team based in Stamford, Connecticut. We work with a select group of clients nationwide, offering customized investment management strategies and precise implementation. We believe we’re different in the way we approach your needs, foster your long-term aspirations and care about your day-to-day well-being.

Our story as a team is not typical. Our senior leaders, Allan and Scott Linke, are brothers. But our family connection to Merrill Lynch Wealth Management does not end there. A member of our family was one of the original partners dating back to 1916. Since then members of our family have continuously worked at Merrill, fulfilling roles ranging from CEO to operations. We are proud to have a family-run team within Merrill Lynch Wealth Management that continues that tradition. We see our outreach as a family business – a perspective that manifests in the way we interact with client families and with our own team members.

Our sensitivity to family legacies –the sacrifices, concerns and satisfactions they entail—helps us to work effectively with multiple generations, catering to each person’s priorities and needs. We invite you to learn more about our team, our family and the ways we can help your own family members pursue their goals more effectively.

We are pleased to be named to the Forbes “Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams” list, 2024 and 2023 as a member of the The Linke-Pearson Group.
