Our Philosophy
We are a group of individuals who “live our beliefs”
- Richness of life
- Authenticity
- Sense of community
Our team is built on trust, in each other, our partners and our clients. We believe in education as a guiding tool and our values act as the core principle for our behavior.
The needs of high net worth families are distinctive, requiring the utmost professionalism, discretion, and focus. The range of services provided by our wealth management group and our support staff at Merrill reaches far beyond investments and is designed to address clients’ complex financial needs.
A clear, methodical structure has been created to help ensure a consistent client experience across multiple generations.
- Client to advisor ratio is purposefully kept low
- Comprehensive client reporting
- Regular quarterly meetings to review objectives and performance with ongoing support on a daily basis
Approach
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.
Your approach to investing
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.
Understanding your goals and priorities
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.
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.
Focus On Individuals, Families and Small Businesses
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:
- Health: Managing healthcare expenses, now and in the future
- Home: Upsizing, downsizing, remodeling or buying a vacation home
- Family: Taking care of your family and other people in your life
- Leisure: Spending your free time in meaningful ways
- Giving: Volunteering, mentoring others and giving to charities
- Work: Working in retirement, selling or starting a business
- Finance: Bringing it all together and defining your financial goals
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.
