We serve clients in three professional capacities. First, we guide clients in building a strategy designed to generate a lifetime cash flow and to help them pursue their desired outcomes. Second, we provide access through Bank of America, N.A., to full-scale personal and business banking services, including secured and unsecured financing arrangements. Third, we synthesize our experience and knowledge with the vast strategy and research resources of BofA Global Research to guide clients in creating customized portfolios that can be the cornerstone of their wealth structure. In summary, we strive to help clients clarify their objectives, understand the link between goal and strategy, and support the seamless execution of these strategies.
The clients we serve are successful executives, business leaders and professionals who have substantial wealth and are looking for sophisticated, customized wealth management strategies and access to trust services that align with their lifestyle and legacy goals. And, since our work often impacts future generations, many of our client relationships have grown to include multiple generations of a single family or business.
The select group of clients that we serve represents a broad spectrum of complex wealth management issues.
We strive to simplify complex financial situations and offer clients a clear understanding of the link between strategy and execution. To that end, we follow a disciplined, five-step wealth management process:
STEP 1 PROFILE CLIENT: Every client is unique. We look at the demographic, financial and behavioral distinctions that drive lifestyle and legacy decisions, guide investment choices, and reflect who and what matters most to the client.
STEP 2 ESTABLISH GOALS: We help clarify and prioritize lifestyle and financial goals, then map these goals to cash flow and wealth objectives over time. We also discuss the possible effect of taxes, estate planning services and philanthropic considerations, as well as designated beneficiaries.*
STEP 3 SET STRATEGY: Once we have established clear objectives, we conduct a thorough review of client assets and investments and help them craft a goals-focused financial strategy. It is important that clients understand how the overall strategy and select portfolios are connected to their vision.
Our conservative approach to managing wealth translates into strategies designed to manage risk and grow assets prudently.
STEP 4 IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES: We give you access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America, offering you a broad range of services and capabilities.
STEP 5 REVIEW PROGRESS: We conduct periodic and event-based reviews of the client's wealth management strategy and track progress against goals to determine what adjustments, if any, are needed to help you stay the course.
We strive to create one-on-one client experiences that demonstrate our continued interest in developing a more meaningful relationship with clients. We are always looking for ways to make their lives easier—customizing communications and responding to their concerns with a sense of urgency. Delivering high-quality, high-touch personal service and access to banking products through Bank of America, N.A., on a daily basis is an integral part of what we do.
Building and sustaining a strong client relationship demands a fully integrated support platform that offers service continuity and enables both big-picture and small-detail responsiveness. Our Wealth Management Client Associates, Kimberly Eberlein, Giuseppina (Josie) Terzini, April Young, and Amy Totonchi bring over 40 years of combined experience to the team. They know that their attention to detail, their ability to offer clear and frequent client communications, and deliver timely and accurate responses to client inquiries can translate into client loyalty.
I want clients to know that when I listen to them, I hear them, and that I am fully committed to understanding what's important to them today and in the future.
