Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
Welcome

Here at The HC Group, we strive to create meaningful "client experiences" that extend well beyond what you may expect from a financial advisory team.

The process begins with an understanding your life priorities, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, your specific timeline, financial resources, goals, and any concerns you have.  The process then progresses to a financial strategy aligned to what matters most to you; one supported by the investment resources at Merrill and the banking convenience & technology of Bank of America.  All of this culminates with a personalized wealth management strategy designed to help you achieve your financial goals.

By listening more than talking and providing our undivided attention, we can craft thoughtful, highly personalized strategies to help simplify your complex challenges, complement the efforts of your CPA and attorney, and bring clarity to your life’s most significant transitions – whether you’re nearing retirement, recently divorced or widowed, welcoming a child back home after college, beginning a second marriage, or launching a new venture.

Our commitment to you is ongoing. Together, we look forward to strengthening your financial security and making you comfortable with the road ahead.
