Bringing Clarity and Balance to what Matters Most

At BCG Private Wealth Management, we seek to provide clarity and balance to what is most important to you. We listen deeply to the story of your family. We seek to uncover the goals, desires and character of your life that are often overshadowed by the enormous complexity of your personal and professional success. As a result, we help you simplify your financial life while you realize the outcomes that matter most to you and your family.

Meet the Team

The private wealth advisors with Merrill Private Wealth Management are rigorously trained to help meet your specialized needs with relationships based on trust and personalized service.

Strategies designed to help you achieve your goals

As a client of Merrill Private Wealth Management, you have access to services and resources ordinarily reserved for the world’s largest institutions. We work with individuals, families spanning multiple generations, business owners and executives. Using a goals-based wealth management approach, we put our clients at the center of every personalized strategy.

Our Approach

Welcome

In 1994, Suzanne Bledsoe and Dave Cathcart started a wealth advisory practice in Charlotte, NC which would come to be known as BCG Private Wealth Management. For more than twenty-five years, the partners of BCG Private Wealth Management have served wealthy families exclusively. Today, our clients include business owners, corporate executives and the beneficiaries of multi-generational wealth. We devote our energy and capabilities to managing the financial complexities of this select group of families exceptionally well.

Philosophy

We believe the best financial approach is the one that helps you pursue your goals. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Calculating how to manage future health care expenses? College on the horizon? Considering the sale of a business or purchase of a home? Preparing to pass your wealth to future generations? It all starts with a plan intended to help you manage, grow, and preserve your wealth today, while also considering the impact it can have for years to come. With access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking solutions from Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.

Boutique Service Model

With five experienced partners and two dedicated client service associates, BCG Private Wealth Management works within Merrill Private Wealth Management. This unique framework offers the benefits of a high-end boutique along with the resources of one of the largest global financial institutions. We are privileged to work with a limited number of valued families, thereby enabling each of our five partners to deliver a highly personalized level of service to every client.

At BCG Private Wealth Management, we achieve success only when your best interests are served. Success is measured by the progress you make toward reaching your most meaningful goals. Our strategies are tailored to meet the broad spectrum of your short and long-term objectives. We bring you opportunities for building, preserving, transferring and enjoying your wealth.

Preserving and Growing Your Wealth

Our goal is to preserve and grow your family’s capital in real terms, taking into account taxes, inflation and fees. We concentrate on providing meaningful risk-adjusted returns over the long term. At the same time, we remain vigilant for short-term tactical strategies that can positively affect your portfolio.

At BCG Private Wealth Management, the highest standards of service, ethics and client confidentiality are at the core of everything we do. Not only do we act in your best interests, but we also believe in investment choices that are free from any conflicts of interest.
