A path to financial freedom
At The Patrick-D’Amico Group, Jim is responsible for evolving investment strategies, daily trading activities and evaluating existing asset allocations within portfolios. He takes great pride in employing his 30 years of experience in private wealth management to help his high net worth clients realize their financial goals. What he enjoys in particular is seeing how empowered they become knowing they are on track to achieving and maintaining their financial freedom.

Growing up in New York, Jim developed a fascination with the financial services industry that grew during his early years in college, when he worked as a bank courier to pay his tuition. He started his career in 1989 as a financial advisor with Dean Witter and later joined Mercer Global Advisors as a Regional Manager. Beginning in 2000, he spent 19 years at Merrill Lynch as a Senior Vice President in wealth management before moving his team over to UBS in August 2019.

Together with the team, he moved over to UBS in August 2019 and, each day, welcomes the opportunity to work in the business that his father built from the ground up.
