Branch Office Profile

The Downtown Princeton branch of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management has served the financial needs of Princeton and surrounding communities since the mid 1940s, with three offices located in Princeton, Downtown Princeton, and nearby East Brunswick, NJ. We are home to a group of extraordinary Financial Advisors with in-depth experience and knowledge in finance, dedicated to serving the needs of our clients. The Princeton Complex leadership team provides additional support to clients and financial advisors.

Culture

Our branch’s financial advisors are committed to client service and satisfaction. We begin every relationship by helping clients identify their personal and professional goals, including those related to lifestyle and multi-generational issues. With that information, combined with our ability to draw on industry analysts and specialists, financial advisors have the tools to fully understand each client’s current financial situation and can help them create potential financial solutions designed to help meet their long-term
objectives.

Community 

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.
