Blending the passion and professionalism of our advisors and leadership, we have long delivered a rewarding wealth management experience to an accomplished, multi-generational clientele.
As a Merrill client, you have access to the knowledge and experience of industry-skilled advisors who are supported by the intellectual capital of Merrill, a goals-based wealth management 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.
Through our volunteerism and charitable outreach, our 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.
Across the three offices of the Princeton Market, our advisors and service associates share a mission – to create a “client experience” in which exceptional insight and service are the norm, not the exception.
Through goals-based strategies that evolve naturally from appreciating each client’s heartfelt concerns and cherished goals, we are devoted to serving clients’ best interests – often, during their most challenging life transitions (retirement, a career move, a business expansion, a child going off to college or returning home, a change in health, or the loss of a loved one).
How do we build financial strategies that align with clients’ personal situations and aspirations? We ask questions and listen closely to what clients say (and may not say). Once clients identify their objectives and concerns, we can begin to focus on their goals – rather than solely on industry benchmarks.
Using our firm’s advanced technologies, as well as “old-fashioned” meetings and phone conversations, we stay in touch with clients – to keep them informed and keep ourselves updated on new challenges and opportunities in their lives. Led by our management team, we’re always seeking new ways to ensure that “proactive, pro-client” attention can bring optimal benefits to the individuals, families, businesses and non-profits we serve.
Each client deserves a premium level of personal attention and our very best efforts. We are well aware that our performance can help determine theirs. On a given day, we may coordinate with a client’s CPA or attorney, organize a family meeting, or visit a client whose spouse is ill. Going the extra mile for clients is never going out of our way.
For Financial Advisors who excel in the Princeton Market, it’s about treating each client like he or she is a family member. We don’t have egos, take shortcuts, or use cookie-cutter approaches. Instead, we emphasize to prospective advisors that this is a dynamic, team-oriented environment in which we collaborate with each other, with clients, and call upon internal and external specialists.
We know that experienced and enthusiastic wealth management professionals can have a tremendous impact on the lives of clients. That’s why our management team supports advisors in several ways – sitting in client meetings, as well as mentoring and training advisors on an individual basis.
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.
