Brown & Associates
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
Welcome

Our mission is to provide our clientele with a highly effective, long-term wealth management experience and the guidance required to see it through. We strive to understand you and your priorities. Our process begins with us spending time with you, listening carefully and learning about your goals, aspirations and concerns, so we can understand exactly where your wealth stands today, and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. We help families prepare for future goals like college education and retirement expenses. We assist businesses and non-profit organizations with employee retirement plans and endowment management. We also help clients who are experiencing life transitions such as recent retirement, the loss of a spouse through death or divorce, job changes, and business sales. We help you design, implement and periodically review a customized wealth management strategy that helps you and your family pursue your personal financial goals without unnecessary investment risk. We pride ourselves not only in our delivery of the customized solutions that we develop based upon the client's risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, overall investment goals and costs associated with the recommendation, but also the depth of understanding that our clients have in that solution.

About Us
Philosophy

You live in a world that's constantly changing. Markets can fluctuate frequently. Potential investment opportunities can arise daily. Regulations are enacted or amended. That's why understanding you and your situation is the best place to start helping you plan your financial future: where you are today, where you want to be tomorrow, and what you want to accomplish along the way. By understanding you and your priorities, we can more effectively provide you with the experience and resources needed to help you build a personalized plan that is rooted in the unique complexities of your life.
