Profile

Jason A. Halliburton is a Vice President, Senior Financial Advisor and Senior Portfolio Advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in the Atlanta/Buckhead office.  He is focused on serving the unique wealth management needs of highly successful business owners, senior executives and entrepreneurs — a dynamic group that often faces sophisticated and competing financial demands as they balance professional and personal commitments and goals.

As a Senior Portfolio Advisor,  Halliburton can help clients pursue their objectives by managing on a discretionary basis custom investment strategies, selecting from a wide range of Merrill model portfolios and third-party investment strategies. Developing these tailored strategies for clients, their families and their businesses, enable them to pursue short- and long-term financial goals, helping them streamline the complexities, and capitalize on the opportunities of substantial wealth.

Previous to joining Merrill, Halliburton was part of an Atlanta based boutique Private Equity firm. The focus was on the acquisition of lower middle market, owner operator service companies in the Southeast, with annual revenues of $50 to $250 million. Building those service businesses through growth capital, a strategic focus on improving systems, process and top-line growth, allowed the creation of both an effective and opportunistic exit strategy.

He is a current Corporate Cabinet Member of The Woodruff Arts Center and a Legacy Advisor for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. He serves as a Graduate Student Mentor for the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University. He supports the vision of Polo in the Pines, a non-profit which partners with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. With a strong connection to his heritage, he was also the Founding Board Member of the Jamaican Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta Inc.

Over his lifetime, he has built long-term, caring relationships on the foundation of trust, honesty and committed service, allowing him to work closely with affluent families and is recognized for his steadfast commitment to community. He was also honored to serve as a civilian Law Enforcement Supervisor for the U.S. Department of Defense and was a recipient of the United States Patriotic Employer Award.

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

Placing the investor at the center of the wealth management process—while maintaining a market focus — is my goal in helping clients through difficult financial transitions and decisions that occur in their lives. I start by getting to know you, your family and financial situation, helping me understand your risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, goals, priorities and unique financial concerns. From there, we’ll help you design a customized investment approach, drawing upon the investment insights of Merrill and access to the banking convenience of Bank of America. As your needs or market conditions change, we will meet to track and adjust your approach, as needed.

Philosophy

I 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, I will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.

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.
