For over 40 years Lisa Kent has witnessed up and down markets, strong and weak economies, and investment fads and bubbles of all kinds. What remains unchanged is her philosophy of helping clients live the best lives possible with the resources that they have. The Team strives to make simple what may be complicated, to promise to ask questions no one else asks, and to help solve complex financial challenges for their clients. With the investing insights of Merrill and access to the banking convenience of Bank of America, the Kent Mollo Group has a wide variety of strategies and services available to serve their clients.
Lisa’s partners include her husband, Timothy Kent, a 31 year veteran of the financial services industry, and Francesco Mollo who has served in this industry for nearly 18 years.

The Kent Mollo Group Philosophy
Our Team is driven by the power of our clients’ goals and aspirations. We will ask questions to help you identify the intention of your wealth, and offer solutions that help solve for these needs while maintaining flexibility. Are you looking to leave a legacy for your children? What happens in the timeline of your life between now and then? Are there others that you are financially responsible for? What about saving for milestone events? Let us help you uncover all that matters to you and your family over the course of the generations. With the power of the combination of Merrill and the Bank of America, we will work alongside of you to develop an approach that is customized for your personal financial needs.
Approach
Every relationship begins 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.
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.
Understanding your goals and priorities
Your life and goals change. We have tools to help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial approach.
Capabilities
Merrill’s process is designed to help deliver a customized, comprehensive experience to assist you not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Providing you with access to the investment insights of Merrill, trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank, and the banking and lending solutions of Bank of America offers a way to help you manage all of the pieces of your financial life. Working one-on-one with a Merrill advisor means you have a single point of contact to help you with potential strategies for transferring wealth to the younger generation.
Focus On Individuals, Families and Small Businesses
We believe that financial success can be achieved when you’re able to make investment-related decisions and trade-offs that can help you reach personally meaningful goals. Whether you’re planning your retirement, saving to buy a home or funding a child’s education, the process begins by getting to know you and how you feel about the following:
- 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 others and giving to charities
- Work: Working in retirement, selling or starting a business
- Finance: Bringing it all together and defining your financial goals
Success will be measured by the amount of progress you are making toward reaching your goals, making thoughtfully considered adjustments as events and conditions warrant.
