Allen Cho

Born and raised in Austin, I've always valued strong community roots and meaningful relationships. I met my wife while attending the University of Texas at Austin, and today we're raising our two young daughters with a deep appreciation for family, faith, and the outdoors.
Music has also played a meaningful role in my life. I began playing the violin at age 4, and the discipline, patience, and creativity it instilled in me continue to influence how I live and work.
I hold a Bachelor of Science and Arts in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin, along with a Business Foundations Certificate from the McCombs School of Business. I'm also a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™, CRPC™ with a focus on helping high net worth individuals and families navigate complex financial decisions with clarity and confidence.
My goal is to build long-term relationships with clients and their families, taking a deeper, more personal approach to managing wealth over time. I find great fulfillment in listening to each client's unique story - understanding their goals by what they choose to share - and then solving challenges with thoughtful, personalized strategies. For me, financial advising is about more than planning; it's about partnership and trust.
As a Financial Advisor at Merrill, I have access to a deep bench of experienced specialists across Merrill and the full range of Bank of America banking services. This allows me to deliver a broad, integrated approach to help clients pursue their financial goals at every stage of life.
