Accessing all of UBS to help grow and protect your wealth
As a UBS Private Wealth Advisor, Betsy has more than 25 years of experience advising ultra high net worth executives, entrepreneurs and multigenerational families. She believes there is very little she hasn’t seen over the years—perspective that has proven to be invaluable. Betsy is a true relationship-builder. Working with the markets, people and problem-solving on her clients’ behalf is both exciting and gratifying for her.

Betsy’s focus is helping grow and protect family assets through asset allocation, risk and volatility management with alternative opportunities. Importantly, she has a deep understanding of UBS, Private Wealth Management and the strategic use of a range of solutions the firm has designed exclusively for clients with complex wealth.

“I always align myself with our clients and their families, with service as our top priority. I’m able to get out in front of the real issues they face—before they become problems.”
