Drew Bekius has made it his Merrill mission to help his clients expand their financial footprint for greater impact on things that matter most to them. Retirement goals to charitable contributions and everything in between. Collaborating with Merrill’s CIO, Drew and his team construct and review personal financial strategies, making regular adjustments as his clients’ lifelong goals continue to expand and evolve. This process has the ability to take into account his clients' personal social values, aligning their investments with their individual social and environmental convictions. Drew’s focus includes retirement planning, sustainable and impact investing strategies (incl. ESG), charitable giving strategies, and institutional philanthropy.
Drew comes with 20 years experience in personal coaching and nonprofit leadership, beginning with the launch of his first nonprofit initiative as a teenager. From the time he was literally 16 years old, Drew’s been sitting down over a cup of coffee to meet with clients, staff, and community members to further understand their situation, their challenges, and their goals and to then develop systematic strategies to move forward in navigating the course ahead. Drew brings mastery of his craft to Merrill as he helps his clients employ the strength of our holistic wealth management services.
Drew is the single father of two amazing teenage daughters and lives in St. Louis Park. He remains active in the Twin Cities community and is always eager to roll up his sleeves and lend a hand. As a former minister, Drew previously served as president of The Clergy Project assisting religious leaders in transition in over 35 countries around the world. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees and on the Governance Committee at the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis. He’s a member of The Loft Literary Center, HumanistsMN, and the American Humanist Association. Drew is also a published author and a humanist celebrant. Hobbies center on carving a few minutes out of each day’s adventures for a nice long walk to clear the head and plan next steps.
*Impact investing and/or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) managers may take into consideration factors beyond traditional financial information to select securities, which could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. Further, ESG strategies may rely on certain values based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating.
