Branch Office Profile

About Us

We have been serving the Pacific Islands for over 60 years. Our local team consists of a talented group of senior leaders and our Market is lead by Director and Market Executive Jesse Sheley. The financial advisors at our Hawaii and Guam offices can offer financial approaches that come from years of combined wealth management knowledge and experience. We also stress that our role goes beyond wealth management advice and guidance. Employing the broad resources of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, advisors can assist with retirement income planning, guidance on concentrated stock positions, traditional investments and estate planning services, while working with your other professionals, such as estate and tax attorneys.

Culture

The branch’s financial advisors are committed to client service and satisfaction. Every relationship begins by helping clients identify their personal and professional goals, including those related to lifestyle and multi-generational issues. With that information, combined with the ability to draw on industry analysts and specialists, financial advisors have the tools to fully understand each client’s current financial situation and can collaborate with them on creating financial strategies designed to meet their long-term objectives.

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.

Client Commitment

As a Merrill client, you have access to the knowledge and experience of industry-skilled advisors who are supported by the investing insights of Merrill, a disciplined wealth planning platform, and the technological resources of a leading global financial services firm. Our advisors strive to fully understand your personal and business needs, and those of your family and future generations. We will put your interests first to help you pursue your financial and life goals.

Advisors at This Location

Our deeply committed advisors call upon Merrill’s tools and resources to help clients pursue personal and professional financial goals, as they also help them prepare for financial and lifestyle challenges that may lie ahead.
