Andrew Blake helps serve the diverse financial needs of a high-net-worth clientele, many who’ve been with his father, David, for more than 30 years. Bringing their holistic wealth management approach to clients coast-to-coast, the team guides business owners (working and retired), physicians, attorneys, widows and widowers, and multiple generations of families.
As part of The Blake Group, Andrew partners with his father, a highly knowledgeable and respected financial advisor who has more than 32 years of experience at Merrill. Andrew is a qualified Senior Portfolio Advisor who can help clients pursue their objectives by managing on a discretionary basis custom investment strategies, selecting from a wide range of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management model portfolios and third-party investment strategies.
“At the core of most positive financial outcomes are the deep client relationships we forge. Andrew and I work as a team – with specialists at the Firm and, especially, with clients. Behind our goals-based wealth management strategies are the key roles that clients play. Their input is critical to us building strategies that can span generations and help meet clients’ personal goals, not industry benchmarks,” explains David.
With most clients looking toward a comfortable retirement, Andrew and David typically customize tax-sensitive portfolios that are designed to weather market volatility, generate a steady income, and provide a fair rate of return. Portfolios may include large-cap equities with dividends that have increased over time, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs to help balance each portfolio.
*Merrill, its affiliates, and financial advisors do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions.
“We take a long-term, family-oriented view of wealth,” explains Andrew. “It’s especially rewarding to bring my planning based approach to clients’ grown children and to successful individuals I’ve come to admire for their hard work. Working closely and on an ongoing basis with clients, our strategies can account and adjust to their risk tolerances, needs for liquidity, cash flow, and income streams.”
