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 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.
Financial advisors sometimes underscore their years of service. We’re all for experience; we have decades ourselves. But we believe in something more: wisdom. Experience means we lived through it. Wisdom means we learned from it. We believe in applying the collective wisdom of our team to help clients discern, understand and address the financial issues that impact their lives.
We are keenly attuned to helping clients avoid pitfalls. Clients look to us for timely information on changing economic environments, investment opportunities, legal and policy updates, and tax implications. We relish our roles as guides, mentors and sounding boards. We believe that a lack of communication sabotages relationships. Sometimes our role is simply to ask the right questions. This we believe leads to better outcomes. Throughout our relationships, we treat our client family with the respect and courtesy they deserve, speaking to them—not down to them.
We can offer advice and guidance designed to assist you in making investment-related decisions and trade-offs that can help you reach personally meaningful goals. So whether you’re planning your retirement, saving to buy a home or fund a child’s education, We’ll start by getting to know you and how you feel about the following seven life priorities.:

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.
We believe the best financial approach is the one that helps you pursue your goals. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Worried about managing future health care expenses? College on the horizon? Considering the sale of a business or purchase of a home? Preparing to pass your wealth to future generations? With access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.
Our process is designed to help deliver a customized, consistent experience to assist clients not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Our ability to provide access to the investment insights of Merrill, trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank, and the banking convenience and lending solutions of Bank of America offers a way to help clients manage all of the pieces of their financial lives. We view ourselves as a financial resource, helping clients with potential solutions for transferring wealth to the younger generation.
We are fortunate to work with an accomplished clientele. Many are senior executives, current or retired business owners, or their family members. Within those relatively broad categories, each client's investor DNA is different. We are ever mindful of those differences: the issues that concern clients; the aspirations that inspire them. Communication is the core of our connection; we welcome the opportunity to speak and meet with clients as often as possible, both formally and informally.
Wealth management is more than good relationships. We are committed to creating value for clients – tackling difficult questions, unwinding complex circumstances, anticipating issues and avoiding potential inefficiencies. They look to us to help them make the best decisions they can, using analysis and tools to capitalize on a wide range opportunities. Our service model unifies the results, helping clients stay up-to-date with our course of action.
We don’t use the term ‘family’ lightly. We see our lives as having three interconnected families – our personal, work and client family. We’ve built our team selectively and incrementally, creating this family of team members with experienced skills and abilities. We combine warmth with structure to provide support and guidance to clients.Allan Winthrop Linke
