Branch Office Profile

The Louisville office has proudly served the financial needs of the local community for over 40 years. At the heart of our philosophy is a desire to build enduring client relationships. Working side-by-side with our clients, Merrill Lynch Financial Advisors see a client's life in total. They help all the pieces work together. And they help the whole become something greater. Our Financial Advisors take the time to understand your life in full and in depth. They look beyond the single dimension of investments and find powerful, innovative ways to integrate and leverage all the pieces of your financial life. We invite you to contact our office for an appointment with one of our Financial Advisors. Our office is conveniently located on the East End of Louisville near the Oxmoor Mall.

Culture

The branch has built a positive reputation in the Bluegrass  region by focusing on financial needs of professionals—doctors, lawyers and accountants with substantial wealth—who need professional assistance in managing risk and preserving wealth for the next generation and the generations that follow. The advisors focus on helping to simplify professionals’ financial lives by navigating them through the complex, changing environment that may often accompany significant wealth. And we offer strategies designed to help clients preserve their wealth, guide their philanthropic gifting, and fulfill their legacies.

Community 

Through our volunteerism and charitable outreach, the branch helps support the economic, social and cultural life of the communities in which we live and work. In virtually every Merrill location across the country, employees are involved in fundraising activities meant to benefit their many neighborhoods and causes. And as a local branch office, we feel it is important for us to “give back” and help maintain vibrant, healthy communities and non-profit organizations.
