Mission Statement
   Our mission is to deliver clients a personalized institutional investment approach and exceptional level of service.  Our combined experience of over 60 years in the firm will deliver to our clients the best resources Merrill has to offer. Our diverse background and global footprint allows us to advise to both US and International clients. We offer integrated strategies in credit & lending through Bank of America, wealth structuring and investments to a select group of global families.
Welcome
As Merrill financial advisors, SIGMA Group offers advice and guidance based on your goals and priorities–for yourself, your family, and your business. We believe our wealth management philosophy is different, because we place the investor at the center of our focus, not the market. Using an understanding of your life as a foundation, our team will recommend appropriate financial strategies designed to help you pursue your goals, assist you as you track progress toward them and work with you to adjust your strategy over time as needed. When you succeed, we succeed.
