Welcome

The STN Group & Associates provides white-glove, concierge-level wealth management services to high net-worth individuals and families throughout the United States. A relationship with us allows clients to simplify the complexities of their financial lives through a tailored approach unique to them. Clients receive access to a skilled advisory team who functions as their financial advisor and can also provide access to a private banker.

Working with the STN Group & Associates begins with a conversation about your goals, priorities, and financial situation.  While we understand the latest trends, risks and potential opportunities, the most important consideration is always understanding you and your priorities. Each member of our team is committed to helping you pursue your most meaningful goals, and we measure success against those objectives-- not the market.

Let us assist you in navigating market volatility, tax minimization strategies, portfolio diversification, lending strategies, next generation planning and asset allocation. Together, we develop a disciplined financial strategy and can make the task of planning for the future an exciting journey.

With leading advisors at the helm, our team is completely focused on providing a high level of client service, striving to exceed expectations, and creating a culture of collaboration and transparency that results in lasting relationships that extend to the next generation.
