John Young is a Senior Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. John is also a specially qualified Senior Portfolio Advisor who, in addition to providing traditional advice and guidance, can draw from his experience to help clients pursue their objectives by building and managing custom investment strategies, selecting from a wide range of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management model portfolios and third-party investment strategies. When servicing clients through the firm’s Investment Advisory Program, a Senior Portfolio Advisor may manage those strategies on a discretionary basis. He has 24 years of experience in the securities industry and joined Merrill in 2015. John provides a wide array of wealth strategies and financial solutions based upon the client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, overall investment goals and the costs associated with the recommendation.

John is a native Houstonian and a graduate of the University of Houston. He is an active member of the West University community where he resides with his wife and their two boys.
I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community.
