The Lee Casey Group
Welcome
The Lee Casey Group at Merrill focuses on helping people make the best out of situations that cannot be predicted. We are able to help individuals and families plan for the precious years ahead by creating custom wealth management strategies. We connect with people on a personal level to ensure that we are incorporating goals and dreams that matter most to them within those strategies.
The team is fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with the Firm's financial intermediaries such as business managers, banking representatives, mortgage experts, client's CPA's and attorneys to coordinate tax and estate planning strategies, insurance needs, and other complex situations.
The Lee Casey group has built strong relationships that span generations, extending to clients' children and grandchildren.
Philosophy
We believe it is important that you take positive steps toward your financial future, and that means getting more than just investment advice. We take the time to get to know you and your family, your financial situation and what matters most to you. Using an understanding of your life and priorities as a foundation, we can work with you to build a goals-based financial approach.
Focus On High-Net-Worth Individuals and Business Owners
We offer clients a breadth of potential solutions, premier customer service and financial tools based on their unique circumstances.
No matter what your goals may be, we begin by helping you define and prioritize your financial goals based on the following seven areas:
- Health: Managing healthcare expenses, now and in the future
- Home: Upsizing, downsizing, remodeling or buying a vacation home
- Family: Taking care of your family and other people in your life
- Leisure: Spending your free time in meaningful ways
- Giving: Volunteering, mentoring and giving to charities
- Work: Working in retirement, selling or starting a business
- Finance: Bringing it all together; defining your financial goals
- Potential risk management solutions
- Trust and estate planning services
- Potential wealth management solutions
- Access to Bank of America for your credit and banking needs
Approach
We begin every relationship with a conversation, helping you identify and prioritize which goals matter most to you. Whether it's transferring wealth to the next generation, customizing your financial approach to help you pursue your passions, or providing advice and guidance to help you stay informed, we start by listening to learn more about you and your family.
Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and help you refine your investing preferences. Together, we can help customize your investment approach. Using an understanding of your priorities and investment personality as a foundation, we help you access the full breadth of resources from Bank of America’s banking products and services and Merrill’s investment insights to address all aspects of your financial life.
Your approach to investing
Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.
