Born and raised in Cuba, Mr. Lopez-Balboa graduated from high school and arrived to the United States to attend Georgetown University, where he studied accounting and finance. Upon graduation, Jorge began his 50+ year career in the financial services industry at Paine, Webber, Jackson, & Curtis in Washington, D.C. Jorge eventually found his home at Merrill Lynch where he managed over $400 million for institutions, nonprofits, endowments, and high net worth individuals for over 25 years. In 2001, Jorge retired from the financial services industry.

After 8 years of golf and doing enough bird watching to even bore Sir David Attenborough, Jorge realized retirement wasn’t for him. He returned to the business in 2009, but this time found his home at UBS Financial Services. Mr. Lopez-Balboa’s extensive experience in portfolio management through various market cycles has equipped him with the ability to offer innovative solutions for a broad variety of sophisticated clients. Jorge's vast knowledge lends perspective and insight, which adds value to the team’s wealth management practice. His background and multi-decade resume has earned him the unofficial title of the “gray hair on the team”.

After residing in Washington, D.C. for more than half a century, Jorge relocated to Sarasota, FL with his loving wife. When he is not attending concerts and shows at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Jorge spends his time in Bethany Beach, DE hosting his three adult children and eight grandchildren at his beach house.

Alexis graduated with a B.A. in English and minor in Spanish and Theater from Georgetown University, while also playing goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team. Upon graduation from Georgetown, Alexis went on to receive an online M.B.A. from the University of Maryland, University College. The online program enabled her to pursue her music career in the evenings, where she was lead singer and rhythm guitarist in a rock band. Her fondest memory was playing the legendary 9:30 Club in D.C. Today, instead of playing to a crowd of thousands, she plays Disney songs for her two young children.

Prior to joining the financial services industry, Alexis was a certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) in the Government Contracting space. While grateful for the experience, Alexis had this insatiable appetite for more, so she entered the financial services industry as a Registered Client Service Associate at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management. After obtaining her Series 7 and 66 licenses, she led the marketing, business development, and the Alternative Investments process for current and prospective clients. In 2015, Alexis moved to UBS Financial Services to become a Financial Advisor. She dove in head first and obtained her life and health insurance licenses, became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) professional, a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®), and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA)…all in 5 years.

Inspired by her father’s incredible recovery from a freak accident in 2016, she and her family are stalwart supporters of Spinal Cord and Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation services. Specifically the positive impact that art therapy has on the recovery journey.

Whether it’s cage diving with Great Whites in South Africa or trekking the lemurs of Madagascar, Alexis loves adventure travel. Currently, Alexis resides in the District with her husband, son, daughter, and rescue dog, Cayman.

Share it well

Discussing and dividing wealth across generations

Even though high net worth investors have made strides over the last eight years with estate planning, they worry about the financial and familial discord that can accompany wealth transfer.

Service defines our relationships

You can expect an unparalleled level of service and communication throughout every interaction and experience with our team. We build trust with our clients that extends beyond their financial lives. We are available when you need us, and we travel the extra mile to meet with you in person to address your concerns or solve a critical problem.

We are a team of patient listeners who help you make informed decisions across every dimension of your life and your goals—your family, your business, and even your healthcare challenges. The result? Most of our clients have been with us for many years and consider us their advocates and friends. For many, we’re family.

Investing with a fiduciary focus

As Senior Advisors within UBS’s Portfolio Management Program (PMP), we actively research, structure, and oversee your investment portfolio. Because we take this fiduciary responsibility so seriously, we actively seek better ways to manage volatility, reduce unnecessary risk, and earn your confidence in our ability to choose the right strategy for your needs.

Because there’s nothing more important than doing the right thing on your behalf, we have full discretion over many of our clients’ portfolios. Our understanding of the capital markets runs deep—we welcome those discussions with you. In fact, we confidently stand by our own recommendations and share the same investment philosophy.

Your customized asset allocation is always based on your personal time horizon, objectives and risk concerns. We reevaluate your asset mix and make adjustments as your life or the markets change. It’s not an easy lesson, but we help our clients understand that spending time in the market—even during uncertain periods—offers them the greatest potential for achieving their long-term goals.

Planning keeps your goals on track

Our relationship with you begins with in-depth planning discussions. We believe a goals-based financial planis key to finding answers to life’s important questions, and it starts with conversations about what is most important to you and your family and where you see yourself in five, 10 and even 20 years down the road.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” We understand the important role that proper planning has in growing, protecting, and passing on your wealth. Equipped with the UBS Financial Goal Analysis (FGA) tool, we develop a more formalized plan and asset allocation based on your timeframe and comfort with risk. This “custom road map” can help you:

Retire comfortably with an effective cash flow and retirement income plan
Lower portfolio volatility while enhancing returns
Reduce estate taxes with a sophisticated wealth transfer strategy
Improve insurance protection, including healthcare and long-term care coverage
Engage the next generation on the responsibilities of inherited wealth
Address your liquidity needs

Legacy—Wealth for others

For needs that go beyond your own—to help you improve the lives of others

What will your legacy be?
It’s never too early to plan ahead. A Legacy strategy can help you gain more control over your financial future and what you leave behind, so you can move forward with confidence.
