Insightful collaboration

The importance of choosing the right advisor

Today’s retirement plan landscape is changing rapidly. As a plan sponsor, you may face daily challenges optimizing your plan, meeting your fiduciary and regulatory obligations, and educating your employees. We take a collaborative approach to helping you address these challenges. And working together, we can chart a path to help you manage plan complexity.

The experience to guide you forward
For more than 30 years, Bruce has been helping plan sponsors strengthen their employee retirement plans. He focuses his practice on delivering insights and results in three key areas within corporate retirement planning: sponsor and participant success, investment consulting, and fiduciary guidance.

Customized retirement plan design
Bruce addresses several priorities for each relationship—clarifying client needs, identifying goals and implementing plan changes to drive outcomes. His engagements start with an analysis to understand the current state of an organization and its retirement plan. Plan design, the investment menu, fiduciary liability, fees, service providers and participant retirement readiness are all evaluated in order to outline where things are today and discuss opportunities moving forward. From there, he applies his experience and in-depth knowledge of the 401(k) to match client needs with strategies and partners that can best support their organization and employees.


Outside of UBS
Bruce is passionate about giving back to the community and serves as Chairman of the Investments Committee of Junior Achievement of Wisconsin. He also enjoys speed skating—he is an International Official and part of an elite group of just 24 starters in the world who qualify to be an official at the Olympic Games. He and his wife, Bernadette, have been married for over 40 years. They have two wonderful children.
