The Miner Group
Welcome
At The Miner Group, we are proud to have built enduring relationships with clients that coincide with their desires to build wealth and financial stability. We work diligently with clients to help them make the most of their money, hard work, and time. By serving a limited number of clients, we can do more for each one – applying our aptitude and energy in ways that many clients had never experienced, but certainly deserve.
Our abilities were recognized recently when William Miner was named to Forbes "Best-in-State Next-Generation Wealth Advisors" list in 2019 (*Source: The Forbes “Best-in-State Next-Generation Wealth Advisors” list, published on September 4, 2019. Rankings based on data as of March 31, 2019); Forbes "Best-in-State Wealth Advisors" list in 2018 (*Source: The Forbes “Best-in-State Wealth Advisors” list, published on February 15, 2018. Rankings based on data as of June 30, 2017) as well as being named to Forbes/SHOOK "America’s Top Next-Generation Wealth Advisors" List in 2017 and 2018 (*Source: The Forbes “Top Next-Generation Wealth Advisors” list, published annually July - Sept. Rankings based on data as of March 31 of current year).
Driven by the best interests of each client, we are inspired to help unlock the full potential of their wealth. Our highly personalized, planning-based approach keeps us updated on a client’s evolving circumstances. With a discovery process that is ongoing, we keep in touch with clients and keep them updated on new opportunities that may prove beneficial.
Today, we assist high-net-worth individuals and multiple generations of their families. Our clients include active and retired CEOs, surgeons and other physicians, dentists, state employees, and small business owners (some with 401K plans).
While diverse in their accomplishments, most clients share a need for a financial advisory team to exhibit complete objectivity and integrity as part of an exceptionally proactive and professional standard of care. We enjoy helping people move efficiently toward rewarding retirement lifestyles and lasting legacies. It would be our privilege to help you – with the same degree of focus and determination.

Forbes “Best-in-State Next-Generation Wealth Advisors” list was developed by SHOOK Research. Advisors considered for this ranking were born in 1980 or later with a minimum 4 years relevant experience; advisors have: built their own practices and lead their teams; joined teams and are viewed as future leadership; or a combination of both. Ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures: telephone and in-person interviews, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criteria because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not representative nor indicative of any one client’s experience, future performance, or investment outcome. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receives compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. Forbes is a trademark of Forbes Media LLC. All rights reserved.

A Distinct, Attentive Approach
At The Miner Group, we offer a disciplined process that delivers a consistent yet customized wealth management experience. Before any financial decisions are ever made, we consider your whole life – devoting significant time to fully appreciate who you are, what matters most to you, and where you’d like to see yourself and your family years from now.
Because you have questions, we listen carefully to you. Quite likely, you want to formulate a game plan for your kids and, possibly, your parents. You may ask how long you’ll need to work full-time, or for our thoughts on an exit strategy. Given new tax laws and health care reform, we can address possible adjustments to your investment, retirement, tax minimization and estate planning strategies.
Our brand of personal wealth management also demands that we account for what is – and what may be. Because your life events (and external ones) can influence your financial decisions, we help prepare you in advance. How nimble and responsive we are in controlling the effects of change can help you remain on course. It is our responsibility to incorporate answers for the unexpected, directly into your plan’s dynamics and to re-assess with you if goals and timeframes need a fresh look.
Thanks to our extensive Merrill training and strong background in banking, we know the importance of using top-notch research and examining both sides of your balance sheets, as well as important trust and tax documents. In concert with our firm’s specialists, as well as your accountant and attorney, we can help ensure that your full financial picture is regularly reviewed and fine-tuned. Our focus also extends beyond your portfolio and liabilities to what may include your family business, real estate and insurance.
With a solid understanding of how we can enhance your wealth and outlook, we can prioritize our efforts. This may include planning for retirement (or a child’s or grandchild’s education), creating a legacy, supporting a worthwhile cause, or staying ahead of rising health care costs.
A Multi-Generational Focus
At The Miner Group, we see you for having a vision – to provide for your spouse, children, grandchildren, and in many cases, your elderly parents. As a proactive financial team, we strive to:
• Serve your family in the near- and long-term.
• Understand where you are (financially and personally) – and where you want to be.
• Structure your wealth to help minimize tax consequences and allow for enduring wealth.
• Deliver a positive experience characterized by unwavering attention and unfettered access to the full complement of Merrill services.
• Encourage your children to expand their knowledge of financial issues.
• Accompany you on your financial journey (often, literally) – visiting your attorney with you to align efforts, or the local Social Security office to clarify benefits and help put your mind at ease.
When it comes to investing, we listen to you, our own research, and the outstanding analysts of Merrill. From there, we formulate a portfolio strategy for you and you alone – based on your risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs and investment goals. Following implementation, we will revisit that strategy so that it serves as a continuous reflection of you and the markets.
By rolling up our sleeves and communicating with you (and family members, given the opportunity), we can help you pass along wealth and wisdom – to future generations.
A Loyal Circle of Clients
At The Miner Group, we serve hardworking individuals who can benefit from an uncompromised measure of financial knowledge, perspective and transparency. Having longstanding relationships with clients we’ve served for years, we are grateful for the referrals we receive to their family and friends.
Today, our clientele resides in Ohio, Pennsylvania, adjacent states, and on both coasts. Many clients are highly educated, financially astute, and conservative by nature. They include active and retired senior-level executives, physicians, dentists, business owners (some with 401k plans), state employees, and their families. We believe strongly that assisting multiple generations and extended families allows us to be more comprehensive in our efforts and effective in helping structure their wealth.
Due to their success, some clients seek our input on selling an enterprise, planning their next venture, or simply looking into retirement destinations. To address the evolving complexities in all clients’ financial lives, we aim to create open channels of communication and align our delivery with their preference for frequency and mode.
By accounting for a wealth of financial implications, we can help you, our client, accumulate and preserve wealth, plan for positive outcomes and, along the way, help minimize risk and tax exposure. We are committed to excellence and earning your trust.
