Personalized advice from a dedicated financial advisor.
We get to know you and your family, your financial situation and what matters most to you.
Whatever your personal goals may be, we will work with you to develop a personalized financial approach designed to help you pursue what’s most important to you.
Our mission is to understand you and what matters most to you. To take the time, to ask hard, smart questions and to listen carefully, then to understand, in great detail, exactly where your wealth stands today, and where you’d like it to be tomorrow. We help you design and implement a customized wealth management approach that helps you and your family pursue your personal financial goals while helping manage investment risk. Our wealth management approach is about using wealth to help turn goals into reality.
Affluent Individuals and Families
Our team understands the demands and responsibilities of significant wealth. We can help you build, preserve and transfer your wealth through disciplined investment and tax minimization strategies, as well as retirement planning services. We also provide access to a Wealth Management Lending Officer from Bank of America, N.A., who can assist with an expansive array of lending strategies. Additionally, working with Bank of America trust and estate planning specialists, we can assist you in finding strategies designed to help minimize estate taxes and address philanthropic and other legacy planning needs.
Business Owners
Closely held businesses can raise myriad emotional and financial issues. We can assist in coordinating your business and personal finances by providing retirement plan and business succession services, and helping develop gifting and customized insurance strategies. Through Bank of America, we can also provide access to cash and liability management and lending strategies.
Corporate Clients
To keep your business’s money working more effectively, we collaborate with you to help optimize your working capital and minimize risk. Through Bank of America, we provide access to cash management, loans and credit lines, and other commercial and investment banking services.
Our team follows a disciplined process of goals-based wealth management. We start with an in-depth conversation in which we seek to form a complete picture of your current financial situation, your aspirations for yourself and your family and any concerns you have about your wealth. We also determine the level of risk you are comfortable with. Based on what we learn, we construct a wealth management strategy designed to help you pursue your goals, and then assist you in implementing it.
Our involvement doesn’t stop there. Throughout our process, we maintain regular contact with you—to keep you apprised of your progress toward your objectives and to stay informed about events in your life that could affect your financial situation. As necessary, we will suggest adjustments to your strategy to keep it aligned with your objectives and to help you anticipate potential challenges or prepare for possible opportunities.
Ideally, we want to meet not only with you but also with any other family members you would like to involve in your decision-making process. Building relationships that to us.
With our extensive knowledge of the Puerto Rican financial services market, our team has special insight into the issues that confront people and businesses on the island. We are aware that tax considerations have often led Puerto Rican investors to focus on local opportunities. However, we are of the opinion that diversification, both geographically and within and across asset classes, should be at the core of a portfolio strategy. Our aim is to help you build a diversified portfolio based on your personal objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs and risk profile.
Working, at your request, with your tax advisor and attorney, we create highly customized investment portfolios drawing on a wide range of assets—including equities, fixed income, real assets, hedge funds, private equity and cash—and on the Puerto Rican, U.S. and international markets. Our approach is not static. We pay close attention to the potential tax implications of any portfolio changes and can collaborate with your tax advisor to actively manage your wealth management strategy with the aim of providing attractive after-tax returns.
Delivering Strategy and Thought Leadership
Through Merrill, we can provide access to an expansive array of investment choices and help you select ones that are aligned to your long-term objectives.
