Merrill Lynch
Wealth Management


The Dunn Group believes that good relationships are built through teamwork and involvement, delivered through our advisors, wealth management client associates and access to the global investment capabilities of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America. We want to be your primary source for financial advice and guidance. And we want you to value the dedication and diligence offered to you at each step of the financial planning process.

Welcome

We take pride in helping you achieve your goals by making your needs and interests a priority. With advice and guidance that connects personal goals to potential financial solutions, the team can help you plan for the active retirement you’ve always envisioned. The process begins by taking time to understand your priorities and how you define your idea of a successful retirement. Together, we will work to develop a personalized plan that takes your unique retirement goals and entire financial picture into account. We will revisit your goals and make adjustments to your approach, as needed, to help you stay on track.

Goals Based Wealth Management

Life is a series of decisions. This belief drives everything we do as we help you connect your life and your finances. We work with you--the client--to identify your goals. We help you organize your goals as your essential needs, your important wants and your aspirational dreams. We help you analyze, strategize and allocate assets according to each of those goals. Then, you invest. As your goals evolve or circumstances warrant, we measure and guide you in adjusting - never losing sight of your needs, wants or dreams. We often work with clients for decades, even into second and third generations. We strive to help them understand that with the tools and resources we provide to help you pursue your family and life goals, a sense of confidence may emerge, sheltered from the sensationalism of investment-related hype. Our goal is to help you pursue your objectives and those of future generations.

Our Philosophy

Life is a series of decisions. This belief drives everything we do as we help you connect your life and your finances.

We work with you—the client—to identify your goals. We help you organize your goals as your essential needs, your important wants and your aspirational dreams. We help you analyze, strategize and allocate assets according to each of those goals. Then, you invest.

As your goals evolve or circumstances warrant, we measure and guide you in adjusting – never losing sight of your needs, wants or dreams.

Our approach has resulted in clients working with us for decades, even into second and third generations.

When return on investment is measured in terms of progress toward family and life goals, calm replaces the sensationalism of investment-related hype.

This search for a calm connection between your life and your finances is the hallmark of our practice.
