Capabilities
Offering you the investment insights of Merrill and access to the credit, lending and banking convenience of Bank of America allows us to help you devise potential strategies designed to grow, preserve and distribute your wealth. We’ll work to exceed your expectations through a proactive approach to communication, attention to personalized service and a commitment to continuing financial education.
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.

Your approach to investing
Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.
Understanding your goals and priorities
Your life and goals change. We have tools to help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial approach.
PHILOSOPHY
We believe helping clients find more time to dedicate to what matters most in their lives is essential to a positive relationship. Our preference is for clients to entrust us with performing the required research and analysis to reduce the time required to go from idea to implementation.
