Balboa & Blevins Group believes that good relationships are built through teamwork and involvement, delivered through our advisors, wealth management client associates and access to the global investment capabilities of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America. We want to be your primary source for financial advice and guidance. And we want you to value the dedication and diligence offered to you at each step of the financial planning process.
Planning for your future is like writing a novel. It requires large amounts of preparation, a solid working outline, and the ability to make edits along the way. At the Balboa & Blevins Group, we have more than 80 years of collective experience being a reassuring presence, an informed guide, and a diligent collaborator helping our clients author their stories as they develop.
We work with individuals and multiple generations of their families from diverse backgrounds and professions in all phases of their financial lives. Some have already accumulated significant wealth, while others are working hard to create it. No matter their life stage, we strive to provide a superior level of attentive and personalized service and advise them the same way we would our own families. It’s a role we take extremely seriously.
Dedicated to serving the communities where we live and work, we enjoy volunteering with numerous organizations close to our hearts. It is also our privilege to provide customized advice and guidance to help non-profit organizations meet their investment needs to fulfill their missions.
We believe managing your wealth should encompass everything you treasure most in life, including your loved ones, personal aspirations and the legacy you wish to leave behind. We look forward to building a relationship with you and your family that inspires you to have heartfelt discussions when dollars and cents may give way to personal circumstances.
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. Calculating how to manage 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? It all starts with a plan intended to help you manage, grow, and preserve your wealth today, while also considering the impact it can have for years to come. With access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking solutions from Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.
An effective approach to wealth management requires working closely with you to help identify and define your goals. The process begins by understanding what matters most to you. We help create a financial strategy to pursue your goals that reflects your investment style and is built around your life plan.
Whether you are focused on growing, preserving or transferring wealth the team is committed to helping you address your financial goals at every stage of your life.
Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.
Your life and goals change. We have tools to help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial approach.
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.

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.
We believe that financial success can be achieved when you’re able to make investment-related decisions and trade-offs that can help you reach personally meaningful goals. Whether you’re planning your retirement, saving to buy a home or funding a child’s education, the process begins by getting to know you and how you feel about the following:
Success will be measured by the amount of progress you are making toward reaching your goals, making thoughtfully considered adjustments as events and conditions warrant.
