Wealth Management

At The Scandariato Group, every member of our team is dedicated to helping people achieve their financial goals with simplicity and transparency. Our passion is developing long term relationships with the families we serve. Our guidance is tailored to support your current lifestyle, retirement needs and legacy goals - All while making you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. 

Welcome

We believe that an understanding of you and your family, your financial situation and what matters most to you form the cornerstone of the relationships we develop. Our passion is to build long-term relationships with 1st and 2nd generation business owners & executives, providing comprehensive guidance. We're committed to helping you achieve your greatest objectives with simplicity and transparency through our disciplined proven process.

Philosophy

It’s important to plan for your financial future, which means getting more than investment advice. We believe you will find value in a one-on-one relationship with a member of our team who is dedicated to knowing you and your family, your financial situation, what matters most to you and what keeps you up at night. Using an understanding of your life and priorities as a foundation, we can work with you to build a goals-based financial approach designed to bring you financial confidence.

Approach

Working with the team means working with advisors truly dedicated to helping you pursue your goals. The approach is simple, transparent and supported by thoughtful investment guidance aligned to your life priorities. Helping you pursue your goals starts with getting to know you and your family. Understanding what matters most to you helps in the creation of a financial strategy that reflects your investment style and is built around your priorities. You’ll receive advice to help you navigate the inevitable changes that can occur in life.

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

Our financial planning process begins by getting to know you and understanding your goals. We can collaborate so the team can gain a comprehensive understanding of your goals, what you value most, including your risk tolerance, time horizon, and liquidity needs. One-on-one discovery meetings with you draw on the analytical skills and deep experience of the team to review your portfolio and objectives so that we can work closely together to create a personalized plan to help you pursue your goals.

Focus On High-Net-Worth Individuals and Families

Great wealth is not an end in itself. It is a way by which you can decide what you want to accomplish and with whom you wish to collaborate to pursue your goals. Our team is highly experienced about the challenges faced by individuals with substantial wealth.

A limited client base helps ensure that substantial time and energy can be devoted to assessing and tailoring individual strategies for you. It also allows the team to be responsive to your personal goals and focus on those services that contribute to simplifying your financial life. We believe the value delivered to you reaches well beyond investment management; it extends to the advice and guidance that may be of assistance in nearly every aspect of your financial life.

This material should be regarded as general or educational information on healthcare or Social Security considerations and is not intended to provide specific healthcare or social security advice. If you have questions regarding your particular situation, please contact your legal or tax advisor.

Investments

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.

Recognition

Merrill is proud of our advisors who’ve received recognition from financial industry publications or directly from Bank of America Corporation. We believe they are setting the standard for exemplary client service.
