Trinkoff Wattick Group
The Trinkoff Wattick Group has more than 50 years of collective experience guiding wealthy families in pursuing their financial goals. The clients we serve are a select group that includes business owners, professionals and corporate executives. We aspire to be the preeminent wealth management team in New Jersey, and we are proud to be a part of the thriving and economically diverse city of Summit.
David Trinkoff and Michael Wattick are brothers-in-law as well as business associates. We are a family, and our approach to wealth management is rooted in a desire to help other families grow and preserve their wealth for generations to come. Many of the client relationships that we began by offering financial advice and guidance to individuals now extend to their parents, children and other family members as well.
We believe that financial advisors—like physicians, attorneys and other professionals—should spend most of their time with clients. By taking the time to listen and to learn what is most important to clients now—and what is likely to be important in the future—we believe that we can offer the insights they need to make better-informed financial decisions.
The more we know about clients and their families, the more effectively we can assist them in clarifying their financial goals and staying on track to pursue them. In our view, open and honest communication is essential to designing a wealth management strategy that evolves along with client needs. We are not afraid to disagree with clients if we think their approach to financial decision making may not be serving their best interests.
In our work with families, we are sensitive to the needs of different generations, as well as concerns such as caring for aging parents or children with disabilities. At the clients' request, we can engage with other members of their professional advisory team to give guidance on financial strategies that address retirement income planning, estate planning services, gifting, time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance and other needs.
We can also offer access to the broad resources of Bank of America, including cash-flow management services, as well as credit and lending capabilities.
