The Towner Lund Group Experience
Our wealth management philosophy places you, the client, front and center. Through our collaborative approach, we work with you to design a customized financial strategy to help you pursue what is most important to you.
The process starts with getting to know you. Only when we understand what matters most to you can we help create a financial strategy that truly reflects your personal desires and goals. This allows us to build a plan around your life priorities and provide ongoing advice to navigate through market fluctuations and changes in your life.
It is our mission to help clients identify and reach their goals at every stage of their lives – from the birth of a child to sending children to college, from attaining adequate healthcare coverage during retirement to leaving the legacy they desire. Our clients count on us to help them pursue their financial and life goals, including:
- Living the retirement lifestyle they envision
- Making the most of their compensation & benefits
- Managing their concentrated equity holdings
- Diversifying business interests
- Transferring wealth to the next generation
- Preparing for the cost of education for their children and grandchildren
- Establishing their legacy through family foundations and philanthropy
Our team’s experience helps us to understand the financial markets and their movement. The broad resources to which Merrill can provide access makes it possible for us to help you pursue your goals. In addition, we have access to a diversified group of thought leaders, strategic thinkers and expertise from BofA Global Research.² We can offer investment insights and advice that come from one of the world’s most respected wealth management firms.

Corporate Executives
We understand the challenges that corporate executives face in their financial lives, and we can help develop a customized wealth management strategy tailored to your individual situation. As a successful corporate executive, you are often time-constrained and need to balance multiple professional and personal goals. We can help you prioritize your goals and take the necessary steps to help you actively pursue them.
While unique, your needs as a corporate executive might include:
- Reducing the risk of a concentrated stock position
- Navigating and complying with SEC rules
- Developing a long-term financial strategy
- Gaining easier access to cash, even though your cash flow may be uneven throughout the year
- Working with you in a time-sensitive manner, knowing that you are extremely busy and your career is a priority
Retirement Planning Services
We measure success against helping you reach your goals, not the performance of the market. By understanding your unique priorities and financial situation, we can help you plan for the retirement you’ve envisioned — it’s about preparing and keeping your finances in line. We are committed to helping you pursue a successful retirement that is an extension of your life today.
We start by listening and learning about your vision for retirement. Through meaningful conversations, we get to know what matters to you and use that understanding to develop a customized retirement strategy that takes your unique retirement goals and entire financial picture into account. As you plan for and transition into retirement, your needs might include:
- Managing healthcare expenses, now and in the future
- Upsizing, downsizing, remodeling or buying a vacation home
- Taking care of your family and other loved ones
- Spending your free time in meaningful ways
- Maximizing retirement compensation and Social Security benefits
- Working in retirement, or selling or starting a business
- Giving back through volunteering, mentoring, and giving to charities
Client Commitment & Service
We believe that to feel good about your finances, you need to know exactly where you are, where you want to go, and how much you may need to get there. We work to integrate all areas of your financial life, and we make it clear from the beginning what you’re paying for and what you’re getting. We are committed to helping you every step of the way, and we believe you should be an informed and active participant in your wealth management.
Our process is designed to deliver a consistent experience to assist clients not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Our ability to provide access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America offers a way for clients to manage all of the pieces of their financial lives. As your life and the markets change, we will meet periodically to help make sure you are on track in pursuing your goals and to adjust your strategy as needed for the journey ahead. We also provide guidance designed to help you weather market ups and downs and alert you to potential opportunities.
To provide the best and highest level of client service, we hold tightly to our team values:
- We work hard with focus & effort
- We have a positive, can-do attitude
- We are always professional, building our credibility with clients and each other
- We are genuine and authentic people who act with integrity, always doing the right thing for the right reasons
- We show and earn each other’s trust and respect
- We work with consistency, dedication, discipline, and care in service of our clients
- We deal with issues directly, positively, and with urgency
- We are committed to learn and grow as professionals and people
- We are open and honest in our communications with each other and our clients
- We strive for timely responses that meet or exceed client expectations
- We have structured, prepared, and intentional engagement with clients that is customized to their needs
