We work with individuals, families spanning multiple generations, business owners and executives.

Merrill Private Wealth Management is committed to providing a select group of clients with highly personalized one-on-one service. When you work with us, our knowledgeable, rigorously trained private wealth advisors will gain a deep understanding of your goals, help you develop a multigenerational wealth strategy, and help you update your strategy as needed. We are committed to providing you access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America, and Merrill will continue to invest in client tools and new technology to enhance your overall experience as you and your private wealth advisor pursue what’s most important to you.
We believe your unique goals should be at the center of all of your financial decisions and form the foundation of your financial strategy. Because significant wealth requires customized goals-based financial strategies, we believe in building lasting relationships with a limited number of clients, taking the time to understand your most important priorities for today, tomorrow and your long-term future. Our philosophy celebrates collaboration. Working with a team of specialists, we draw on the resources and insights of a global financial institution to create strategies that reflect your aspirations for yourself and current and future generations of your family. Finally, we believe that while significant wealth brings complex challenges, our experience, passion and perspectives can help you simplify your life.
We recognize that significant wealth is different in its scale, opportunities, and challenges. We have hands on experience navigating the crossroads of wealth, helping clients make informed decisions about near term objectives and long term aspirations. We work with corporate executives, entrepreneurs, affluent families, family offices, endowments and foundations.
The hallmark of our approach is a highly tailored strategy. We begin our engagements by discerning the concerns and priorities of each client. We then devise integrated initiatives specially created to reflect a client’s distinctive circumstances. We look to channel the extensive investment and wealth management capabilities of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and the banking resources of Bank of America bringing these offerings to clients in a manner that is relevant and concise. Throughout the relationship we foster a boutique atmosphere that prioritizes personal attention and unwavering service.
