Helping You Stay Informed

We’re a team of committed communicators. You’ll hear from us often – not only when the markets are good, but in varied fiscal environments and conditions. We’ll establish a series of regular reviews so that you can stay apprised of where you are relative to your goals and timelines. We’ll also reach out to you—formally and informally—with the latest Merrill Lynch Wealth Management research, connecting you to the firm’s on-line resources, applications, and tools.  

We also want to hear from you whenever you need us. If you have a concern, decision point, or simply some good news to share, we welcome the opportunity to connect. When you speak with any of us—from Advisors through Associates—you can count on us to grasp the nuances of your situation. We have processes in place to help ensure robust coverage and in-depth personalization for your needs.

Your external tax and legal team are integral to your financial success, so we’ll also spearhead regular communication with these advisors. Together, we’ll collaborate on integrated tactics and strategies for legacy design, tax-efficient investments, business structuring, access to structured lending, or other initiatives, as appropriate.*

Finally, we recognize that communication within families can be challenging—particularly when it comes to finances. We’ll help you advance clear communication within and across generations so that you and the people you love are more confident in your ability to shape your future as you see it, mindful of your preferences and priorities.
