The Tosha Group
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
Welcome

Today’s markets are fast-moving and complex, and many investors do not have the time or inclination to make the day-to-day decisions necessary to navigate them. Intentionally working with a limited number of clients enables The Tosha Group to be readily accessible and provide a uniquely personalized, boutique-like wealth management experience. Most clients come to us through referrals, reflecting our commitment to offering insightful advice and guidance, a disciplined process and high-quality service. We develop long-term relationships with a broad spectrum of clients and generations of families. We believe your wealth management strategy should be evaluated by progress toward your most cherished goals. We begin by listening and learning what’s truly important to you. We build your plan based on your goals. Once you determine it is a good fit, our dynamic, disciplined investment process integrates our custom portfolio management to help you reach those goals. And we don’t stop there. We continue with communications - educational, consistent and personal – phone calls to address your situation, emails with market updates, and conference calls about what is driving the market that week as well as offering a long-term perspective. The Tosha Group has naturally attracted a certain type of client over the past decade. In addition to professional individuals and families, a large percentage of our clientele includes high-net-worth families, divorced and widowed women, non-profits, executives, family offices, foundations, and the LGBTQ community. Our partnership with Bank of America allows us to provide custom credit solutions and securities-based lending options for a variety of individuals and families, including doctors and dentists, and private real estate investors. This also extends to commercial real estate financing, and specialty asset financing for aviation, art, land and yachts. Let’s start the conversation.

About Us
Philosophy

Life is always changing and growing more complex. In the same way, your priorities and needs around your family, work, health and home are always evolving. And since your finances are so deeply connected with the rest of your life, an investment approach that is specific to your unique situation can be helpful. Even if you're accustomed to managing your finances on your own, you may find value in having a relationship with someone who understands your priorities and who has the knowledge and resources to help you make more informed decisions, no matter where you are in life.

Capabilities

Merrill's process is designed to help deliver a customized, comprehensive experience to assist you not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Providing you with access to the investment insights of Merrill, trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank, and the banking and lending solutions of Bank of America offers a way to help you manage all of the pieces of your financial life. 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.
