Catherine Brown

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Portfolio Manager

Cathy began her career as a financial consultant 38 years ago. After graduating from Barnard College, she joined the training program at Smith Barney. After 33 years at the firm (which later became Morgan Stanley), she joined UBS Financial Services in 2013. With nearly four decades of experience, Cathy has advised clients through varying market cycles, working with high net worth clients of different backgrounds from across the US and abroad. 

As a Financial Advisor she prioritizes her relationships with her clients. She recognizes their diverse needs and interests, while also anticipating how these may change over time.  Drawing upon her experience, knowledge and the resources of UBS, Cathy offers customized wealth management advice and personalized service. She works closely to develop an investment strategy based on a client’s financial needs, risk propensity and time horizon. This includes everything from financing a first home to saving for college, planning for retirement, and other life changing events. Her approach recognizes that financial planning is an ongoing process, where needs and objectives may change over time.

A native New Yorker, Cathy both loves to explore the city’s contemporary arts scene and lazy Sundays with the New York Times crossword puzzles. She also enjoys spending time with her husband, their two daughters, and furry, four-legged grandson.
