Welcome

The Edgar Bassett Jensen Team brings shared ideas and resources to clients, offering a goals-based wealth management approach that puts them, rather than the market, at the center of the wealth management process. Offering access to the global investing resources of Merrill and the banking convenience and lending solutions of Bank of America, we can assist clients in identifying and prioritizing personal goals, which might include planning for and funding children’s or grandchildren’s educations, helping ensure that money lasts in retirement, covering potential health care costs, and preserving wealth. We then help to develop a personalized financial approach aligned with each individual's goals.

Philosophy

Life is always changing and growing more complex. Your needs and priorities specific to your family, work, health and home are continuously evolving. And since your finances are so deeply connected with the rest of your life, an investment approach that is specific to your unique situations can be helpful. Even if you’re accustomed to managing your wealth 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 in your life you are.

How we help clients

Clients at various stages in their lives count on us to help them find ways to pursue their financial and life goals, including:

• The retirement lifestyle they envision
• Preparing for the cost of the best education possible for their children and grandchildren
• Wealth transfer to the next generation
• Establishment of their legacy through family foundations and philanthropy
• Diversifying business interests
• Potential solutions for managing concentrated equity holdings

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.

Capabilities

Our process is designed to help deliver a customized, consistent experience to assist clients not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments.
