Profile

Evelyn Gasher began her career in the financial industry in 1979 and joined Merrill in January 2012.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance - Concentration in Investments,  from Eastern Michigan University, Evelyn also has the following Registration & Licenses; and Designations: FINRA Series 7, General Securities Representative; FINRA Series 66, Uniform Combined State Law; Life and Health Insurance Licenses; the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designation - College for Financial Planning Institutes Corp; and the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst℠ (CDFA®) designation – Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts.

Evelyn brings incredible strength to the Financial Advisory process by having great listening skills, and truly caring. Evelyn understands the concerns that both women and men have for security, career advancement, balancing work/home life, and the dilemma of budgeting and saving for the future.

Today's busy world leaves little time for people to concentrate on their financial goals. Respecting one’s time and at the same time giving each individual the time they need to articulate their lifelong dreams and goals is very important to the team’s process of helping to meet those goals.

By speaking plain, everyday language, not industry jargon, Evelyn helps individuals, families and businesses to create a clear, actionable plan, that will be easy to follow. Education on the why of the recommended investments as well as the what. Coaching about goal attainment, which may include Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, College Planning, Credit and Lending, Wealth Transition Planning, and Divorce Planning, is part of the process. Our team of professionals at both Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and Bank of America provides access to additional services in every aspect of a person’s life, for example, banking, estate planning services, and products that can insure you don’t outlive your money.

Communication is extremely important. Checking alignment to goals periodically, making changes as necessary, and meeting for review regularly are an integral part of the process along the road to successful planning.

Our goal is to have you in our world, not only for the rest of your life, but to continue your legacy through your beneficiaries' lives as well. We believe the best way to do that is to provide you with the very best service by understanding your wants, your needs and your goals, and by helping you to create a plan that is unique to you and your family that will help you live the life you always wanted to have.

Evelyn has two grown children, three grown stepchildren, and loves her Granddog, a MicroMini Goldendoodle named Olive.  Evelyn has been involved in many volunteer activities in her hometown North Barrington and the Barrington area, including Habitat for Humanity, Bataille Academie of the Danse, Sybaquay Girl Scouts, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, North Barrington School, Station Middle School and Barrington High School. Evelyn enjoys spending time with her family, also doing various sewing projects, often for community events, such as school plays, dance studio performances, the Boy Scouts and the children’s choir.
