Erik Holton

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Erik Holton began his career in financial services in 1995.  He has earned the UBS Wealth Advisor designation.  As a Wealth Advisor he works exclusively with affluent clients, designing customized strategies and offerings that address their complex needs and long-term vision. Erik purposely limits his service to a select group of clients who can most benefit from UBS' global resources and combining the access of a leading financial institution with an intimate and customized approach.

Erik has significant experience in working with entrepreneurs, business owners, C-suite executives and affluent families about a range of issues.  Typically, these clients have come to a crossroad in their wealth.  Clients' needs range from pre-and-post IPO strategies, concentrated and restricted stock management, mergers, private sales and wealth transfer strategies. They anticipate a liquidity event, are dealing with new-found wealth, or simply realize that they do not have the time or knowledge to handle the intricacies of affluence.  

Erik resides in North Haven, CT with his wife Megan, three daughters and son. His family has a passion for dogs. Erik enjoys helping his wife who owns a successful dog daycare and boarding facility. He also enjoys skiing, golf and travel with his family.
