Goals-based planning: Focused on your objectives

In today’s world, you need to understand how all the pieces of your complex life can affect your pursuit of important financial goals. A comprehensive plan integrates all the services you need and provides a road map for reaching your objectives.

Retirement and lifetime income planning
With a focus on long-term income planning, our team can work with you to help protect your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement.

Estate planning strategies
Using appropriate cash flow and portfolio strategies, as well as efficient tax structures, such as trusts and philanthropic vehicles, we can help you meet your wealth preservation and legacy goals. We can work closely with your estate attorney and CPA or tap our extensive network of estate and tax professionals.

Insurance consulting and review
We will assess your current and future insurance needs, including long-term care insurance. We view insurance as a tool to protect your family’s assets, replace income, and create a legacy for future generations and philanthropic beneficiaries.

Multigenerational strategies for your family’s wealth
Because we understand the connections between wealth and family, we develop relationships with each generation. We’re positioned to help address all your family’s needs, ranging from growth strategies, to wealth transfer and preservation, to philanthropic pursuits.



Service that builds lasting relationships

We offer a team approach that puts you and your family first. Our goal is to simplify your life and build lasting relationships by being helpful in every aspect of your financial world.

We work for you
Our team always puts your needs first. Our service goes above and beyond the expected, offering a personalized experience that is responsive and flexible to your needs. That’s why we believe our clients stay with us and refer us to their friends and family.

Attention on your terms
Our entire team is highly accessible, offering consistent communication, personal touch points and ongoing reviews. We review regularly on whatever schedule that works best for you and keeps us on track to meeting your goals and objectives.

Personal client service
Clients rely on our client service team for a host of critical financial and administrative needs. Our entire team is highly accessible. We have built long-lasting relationships by offering robust services that proactively anticipate your needs.

A network of resources
By working closely with your accountants, attorneys and trusted advisors, as well as our network of financial specialists within and outside UBS, we can incorporate all perspectives into one comprehensive approach.


Professional investment management

We offer an approach to managing wealth that is both strategic and tactical. Our strategic component reflects your risk tolerance, time horizon and cash flow needs. Our tactical component responds to the day-to-day impact of economic, political, financial and tax considerations. By combining these two approaches, we can help position you to seize the opportunities of an unpredictable market.

Portfolio management
Many of our clients prefer to delegate the day-to-day management of their portfolios. Serving as your discretionary investment manager, we offer timely perspectives, customized portfolio management and a fully-integrated suite of financial strategies.

Balanced asset allocation
Through our comprehensive due diligence and planning process, we help determine your goals, growth and income needs, and tolerance for risk. We then craft an asset allocation that supports your financial plan.

Risk management
By listening and aligning with your objectives, we focus on strategies that help mitigate risk and build balanced portfolios. As we implement your investment strategy, we communicate regularly and track performance, rebalancing and making adjustments for life changes and economic conditions.

Open architecture
Because we make objective investment decisions and have access to a substantial suite of investment solutions within and outside of UBS, we can avoid any conflicts of interest. Our disciplined investment selection process looks at all solutions as potential tools for building customized portfolios.

Insights and analysis
With access to the UBS global research organization, we take all of this information, combined with outside research and our own proprietary insights, to formulate independent opinions that are most relative to your situation. This information helps you plan strategically and independently.


Lending solutions tailored to your needs

Through our comprehensive planning process, we’ll work with you to find solutions to both sides of your balance sheet. That way, you can get credit you can count on, whether you need securities backed lending, a mortgage or tailored financing.

Securities based lending
Securities based lending enables you to unlock the value of your portfolio to help meet goals while keeping your wealth management strategy on track. A securities based loan can give you access to a flexible line of credit, allowing you to finance almost any personal or business needs.

Mortgages
The right home financing solution is a critical aspect of your full financial picture. We can help you select financing that is customized to your needs and delivered simply, with exemplary service.

Tailored financing
