Financial planning

A financial plan is built around your specific goals. Today, in a world of confusing headlines, information overload and challenging markets, it takes more than investment guidance to help you confidently move forward. You need a clear road map to achieve your financial goals.

“By understanding what’s most important to you and your family, we can help you build a financial plan that’s specific to your goals, values and dreams for the future.”

— Patricia Murphy

Retirement planning. Our team can work with you to help protect your lifestyle in retirement. Maximizing your employer benefits, optimizing social security, addressing retirement income gaps and analyzing qualified plans are but a few subjects covered.

Insurance. We objectively analyze all of your current policies such as life, long-term care, and disability insurance to determine whether they meet your current and future needs.

Trust and estate planning strategies. We work with your attorney and accountant to help with protecting your assets, reducing estate tax exposure and transitioning wealth to future generations.

Healthcare costs. We address the potential significance of rising healthcare costs. Our planning solutions can help protect your assets so you can maintain your lifestyle.

Tax strategies. Through open and continuous dialogue with your tax professionals, we’ll review your returns and prepare an integrated strategy. We can create tax-efficient portfolios.

Philanthropy. We assess your current charitable goals. We will work with you and your family members to effectively execute your philanthropic mission.

Liability management. Holistic wealth management takes into account both sides of your balance sheet—assets and liabilities— to understand your entire financial picture. For those looking to access liquidity, we have financing solutions.

Family meetings. Succession planning increases the opportunities for each generation’s success. We coordinate meetings for parents and adult children to discuss all issues related to the family legacy.


Investment management

Be prepared for opportunities and be protected in times of market turbulence. Our direct access to global resources offers timely perspectives, customized investment planning and a fully integrated suite of financial solutions.

“We’ll work with you to create reasonable and pragmatic solutions when developing your investment strategy.”

— Charles F. Smithers III

Tailored, discretionary portfolio management. We build customized portfolios, homing in on the investment mix that’s most appropriate to your goals and comfort with risk.

Asset allocation. We believe that allocation to each investment class should be directed by age, need, objective and risk tolerance.

Open access. We offer access to an open platform of premium financial solutions both within and outside of UBS.

Research and analysis. We deliver the most current market research and financial insights, empowering you to feel informed and confident regarding your investments.

Safeguarding multigenerational wealth. Because we understand the connection between wealth and family, we’re committed to having a multigenerational impact on your life. Attuned to protecting the financial independence of your entire family, we can help structure a deliberate and meaningful family legacy and direct capital to reflect your values.
