Gary Spector

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

I began my career in 1983 at the beginning of the bull market, and over the past 30 years I have helped clients manage their wealth throughout good times and bad. I joined UBS in 2009 after 20 years at Smith Barney and 6 years at Drexel Burnham Lambert.

With my clients, I emphasize taking a long term approach to investing and focus on asset allocation and retirement income planning. I also assist them with education funding, structures for charitable giving, estate planning, insurance and mortgages. I am FINRA registered and hold my series 7 and 63 security licenses. In addition, I also hold my life, accident and health insurance and variable annuities licenses.

I earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Economics from Union College in New York and currently live with my wife in East Rockaway, NY. On my spare time I am an avid golfer and compete in numerous local and national amateur tournaments.
