Mission Statement
Your journey requires customized strategies tailored to your unique goals and priorities. We serve a limited number of individuals and families, allowing us to offer personalized, boutique-like services to help you simplify your life and pursue what’s important to you.
Welcome

At The Cenname Team, we believe that our difference is based on three factors: our people, our process and our implementation.

With approximately a century of collective experience, our four Private Wealth Advisors and Managers are highly trained and dedicated to providing individuals and families with innovative financial strategies designed to help address the challenges posed by substantial wealth. Building on the Merrill wealth management process, we have developed a five-step process to help you organize your financial life and create a strategy designed to help you pursue your goals. We emphasize implementation and service. Working with a select number of ultra-high-net-worth families allows us to give the necessary attention to assisting them with the financial challenges that can accompany great wealth. To enhance our ability to provide the responsive service you deserve, our Private Wealth Advisors collaborate with Merrill wealth management professionals who can help clients with retirement planning and general wealth management services in situations where wealth or compensation is tied to company-sponsored benefit plans.

We seek to engage clients in "enlightened collaboration," a way of working that encourages individuals to come together with resources, determination and discipline to create insightful wealth management strategies and offer high-level, proactive service. Creating a positive, professional and effective experience through enlightened collaboration is more than just our focus—it's our commitment to you. Merrill Private Wealth Management

Our Approach
Our Philosophy

We believe your unique goals should be at the center of all of your financial decisions and form the foundation of your financial strategy. Because significant wealth requires customized goals-based financial strategies, we believe in building lasting relationships with a limited number of clients, taking the time to understand your most important priorities for today, tomorrow and your long-term future. Our philosophy celebrates collaboration. Working with a team of specialists, we draw on the resources and insights of a global financial institution to create strategies that reflect your aspirations for yourself and current and future generations of your family. Finally, we believe that while significant wealth brings complex challenges, our experience, passion and perspectives can help you simplify your life.
