John Eberhard

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

As a Financial Advisor and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER practitioner with UBS, I provide comprehensive financial planning and investment management. I believe that the most successful plans are created with elements of both art & science. The science of planning is crafting a recommendation that is well grounded in fact. It requires technical knowledge and skilled data analysis. The art of planning is creatively preparing a plan that meets your own unique needs. Our process begins with listening to you. Our result is a customized plan - one that we will help you implement, monitor, and adjust over time.

I have a special interest in helping my clients plan for retirement income that will last a lifetime. Excellent plans for sustainable retirement income should not only answer the question, "Can I retire?" they should also answer the question, "How do I retire?" I work with my clients to create a road map for retirement income. As part of this road map, I focus on creating sustainable, tax-efficient income, special strategies to maximize Social Security and pension income, and planning for family legacy needs. As a final step, financial and retirement income plans are coordinated with a client's investment portfolio to ensure plan success.
