UBS Wealth Way is an approach incorporating Liquidity. Longevity. Legacy. strategies, that UBS Financial Services Inc. and our Financial Advisors can use to assist clients in exploring and pursuing their wealth management needs and goals over different time frames.

    Erik Holton began his career in financial services in 1995.  He is one of a small number of UBS Financial Advisors who have earned the designation of “Wealth Advisor” 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 proven access of a leading financial institution with the intimate and customized approach of a boutique

    Throughout Erik's career, his purpose is to define what it means to be a true Client Advocate. Stewardship of wealth created through a lifetime of client sacrifices is a responsibility he takes very seriously. He educates his clients' on all relevant aspects of Wealth Management. His team doesn't seek to be all things to all people, but rather have a culture of exclusivity in our "members only" practice. His core values include Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Respect, Objectivity, Discipline, Collaboration and Creativity. He takes a personal interest the client's total well-being and they become his friends over time.

    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.  

    He relishes the opportunity to help clients at these critical times, laying out a deliberate and cohesive framework for successive years. Clients often come to him after benefitting from solid planning by external tax and legal advisors. However, they need help in moving beyond planning to implementation. He is particularly skilled in making that connection. Erik recognizes that strategy is an essential underpinning of his team's work.  However, he pairs that foundation with deliberate follow-through.  He understands the importance of doing things the right way the first time.

    Erik is eminently qualified to provide highly personalized wealth management services to his clients. He earned a B.S, in Accounting from Northeastern University. He holds the Series 7, 63 and 65 securities licenses and is a Corporate Stock Benefit Consultant through the Corporate Employee Financial Services division of the firm (CEFS). Prior to joining UBS in 2005, Erik spent four years as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley and six years at Tucker Anthony.

    Erik splits his time between the Boston and New Haven Office.  He resides in North Haven, CT with his wife Megan and three daughters. 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.
