We are committed to understanding your values and what you want to accomplish with your assets. We believe that one-on-one conversations help us get to know who you are and what you and your family want for your lives and allow us to concentrate on helping you pursue your life goals and plan for your legacy.
Our team’s process provides our clients with advice to make informed money decisions. Our comprehensive approach to Wealth Management is always the first step in that process. Too often, Financial Planning is understood to mean something simple: the pursuit of money goals based on projected returns and future value calculations. The problem with such a standard-issue Financial Plan is that it considers only one piece of a family’s financial picture. Investors routinely exceed expected returns but fall short of achieving their goals. Great returns with poor strategies around taxes, efficiencies and risk, for example, can cause investors to outlive their resources. A Financial Plan based only on future value calculations ‘checks a box’, and is often positioned as a perk. The Planning our team provides is not a perk; it’s the centerpiece of our process. A family’s Financial Plan is like a car’s Navigation System. If there’s trouble ahead, the Plan re-routes us to our destination, on time, despite obstacles. Most importantly, we go all in with our clients and their families. We feel we know how they got here, where they want to go, and ‘why.’ Friendships develop as a byproduct of this “all-in” approach, and we become personally invested in what have become our shared goals. As a team, pursuing these goals in a manner consistent with our clients’ best interests and values drives everything that we do. We provide that Navigation System (a measurable structure rooted in quantitative analysis) that is designed to show us the best route (recommendations) to a client’s destination (goal achievement). Investments and Financial Planning is where our team’s knowledge lies, and we work with the experts in everything else financial: your tax advisor and estate attorney, trust, cash management, lending through Bank of America, even the sale or acquisition of a business. BofA Global Research is Institutional Investor’s #1 Global Research Firm. We feel that no other firm is equipped with Merrill’s proprietary research, tools, technology and know-how. Shared ownership of our clients’ goals combined with what we believe is the world’s best toolbox for the job produces, in our view, the best possible outcomes four our clients and their families.
We aspire every day to honor Charles Merrill’s commitment to putting clients’ interests first. We also believe in giving back to the community. Through Operation Food Search, Doorways, United Way of Greater St. Louis and Lutheran Senior Services, we work to help area citizens through hunger, homelessness, health issues, educational challenges, and mental health issues.
