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.

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.

Philosophy

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 one-on-one collarboration as a foundation, we can work with you to build your own personalized financial strategy.

The Green-Millman Group

The Green-Millman Group has long served a highly accomplished clientele that’s created its own wealth. The team brings its highly disciplined approach and exemplary measure of service to well-known attorneys and financial professionals, successful business owners and other affluent individuals.

“We are committed to providing uncommon effort,” Brad Green points out. “Going the extra mile for clients and being fully accessible are at the foundation of our standard of care. In order to deepen our focus and broaden our offerings, we limit the number of households we serve.”

To allow clients to move comfortably from Point A to Point B, team members help clients explore the purpose of their wealth. Clients are encouraged to ask questions – about any financial decision, such as funding a child’s education, assisting an elderly parent or, whether a considered purchase is simply too extravagant. Tailored investment management strategies are formulated and reviewed to help each client “live the one life they have, the best way they can” – without undue financial sacrifice or overexposure to risk.

On behalf of clients who’ve been with the team through numerous recessions and market corrections, Brad and Scott are proud to be straightforward – often having “tough conversations” with clients that lead to strategic decisions, rather than emotional ones.

The Green-Millman Group aims to remain present in clients’ lives and be viewed as their most trusted advisor. Having been educated in the SUPERNOVA curriculum, the team believes in the power of frequent and friendly discussions with clients – talking once a month, having four quarterly reviews, and two face-to-face meetings each year.
|“We serve motivated and busy individuals,” Scott Millman explains. “Without the time to manage their investments or a ‘stomach’ for risk, many fear losing assets they’ve worked passionately to accumulate. For more than 15 years, Brad and I have worked together to help manage the evolution and stability of clients’ wealth. We provide the sophistication and attention that we would want from a financial advisor.”
