Personalized advice from a dedicated financial advisor.
We get to know you and your family, your financial situation and what matters most to you.
MacKay & Associates is a Concierge oriented wealth management practice. We work at the client’s convenience and we make house calls. We deliver a comprehensive relationship, based on trust, transparency, and consistent evaluation. Among our areas of focus are complex households and women who serve as the Family Financial Officer. We are grateful for our clients and honor the close relationships with them.
We believe you should be fully involved in planning for your financial future. That's why the relationship with you begins by helping us determine your investment style. The team can then help identify and address individual goals that are personally meaningful to you. With a better understanding of how you think about investing, a comprehensive strategy can be designed to help you make the most of your financial resources.
It’s important to plan for your financial future, which means getting more than investment advice. You may find value in a one-on-one relationship with someone dedicated to knowing who you are and what you want to accomplish. Someone who knows your children’s names, how hard you worked to get where you are and how you view investing. Our commitment is centered on helping you achieve your goals by making your needs a priority. Our advice and financial planning approach are guided by what’s important to you.
Our approach to investing is grounded in an understanding of you. It all begins with a conversation. We take the time to get to know you — your children's names, how hard you worked to get where you are and how you define success. We'll work together with you to help understand your personal investment style, prioritize your goals and build an individualized plan that reflects your needs. As an investor you can benefit from the investment insights of Merrill, along with access to trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank and credit and lending solutions from Bank of America. There’s only one financial approach that really matters — yours.
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.
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.
In 1914, Charles Merrill said, “The interests of our customers must come first.” That’s a commitment that we still honor today. Charles Merrill would be gratified to see how the business he founded continues to place a premium on service and commitment. With the investment insights of Merrill, and with access to the credit and lending capabilities of Bank of America, services are available that can help you address virtually every financial challenge you face.
We encourage you to explore the robust tools available to you on MyMerrill.com . You will hear us refer to some of these items often:
Over the last few decades, life expectancy has risen dramatically. Today’s retirees are not only living longer, they are living healthier longer. So a question to be answered is “What do you do with those extra years and how will you pay for them?”
No matter how much income you may have, putting a retirement strategy in place could be the most important thing—the first thing—you can do as you work with the team on your overall financial strategy. The team can help you determine your lifetime cash flow requirements, you can then focus on the other pieces of your financial life, including legacy and family needs, volunteering for charitable work, leisure time activities, acquisition of collectibles, and building a second home. Let’s talk about customizing and implementing a strategy to help you achieve a comfortable retirement.
