Profile

Jennifer Jennings is a Wealth Management Advisor with Merrill. She works closely with each of her clients to identify their needs and aspirations, and devise an investment strategy to pursue those unique goals with clarity and purpose. Jennifer is adept in distilling the information that matters to a client and communicating it in a digestible fashion, making conversations that could be overwhelming more than manageable. That penchant for building bridges extends past the individual, as she also enjoys connecting clients to one each other and engaging the wider community through educational seminars and roundtables.

Jennifer began her financial services career at Merrill in 1996 as a Financial Advisor in San Jose, California. In 2010, she joined J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank in Michigan where she worked closely with high-net-worth individuals and families to address a range of investment, estate, and banking needs. In 2016, she co-founded the Jennings Wohl group at Merrill Lynch and has received many accolades in recent years including Forbes America’s Top Woman Wealth Advisors Best-in-State 2023-2025 (published annually in February. Rankings based on data as of Sept 30 of prior year), Forbes Best in State Wealth Advisor 2025 & 2023 (published annually Jan - April. Rankings based on data as of June 30 of prior year) and Forbes Best in State Wealth Management Team 2023 & 2024 (published annually in January. Rankings based on data as of March 31 of prior year.) Jennifer is also a Certified Divorced Financial Analyst® professional who uses that expertise to equip women going through divorce with the tools and resources necessary to reach financial confidence and independence.

Jennifer earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. She was a varsity four-year letter-winner and co-captain her senior year for Northwestern’s Field Hockey Team.

Jennifer is currently serving on the Judson Center and Childsafe Michigan Board.

Born and raised in Northern California, Jennifer now resides in Birmingham, MI with her husband David. They have three adult children all completing their undergraduate studies.
