UBS Financial Planning Services

Available to Directors, Senior Directors, Executive Directors, Vice Presidents, and above at Regeneron

This website is only for employees of Regeneron. Regeneron is not affiliated with UBS Financial Services Inc (UBS). Under an arrangement with Regeneron, UBS provides financial planning services in our capacity as an investment adviser pursuant to a written agreement with each eligible Regeneron employee (each a “client”). The agreement details the terms, conditions, fee and scope of the engagement, and Regeneron pays the fee directly to UBS. Note that financial planning does not alter or modify in any way the nature of a client’s UBS accounts, their rights and our obligations relating to these accounts or the terms and conditions of any UBS account agreement in effect during or after the financial planning service. Clients are not required to establish accounts, purchase products or otherwise transact business with us to implement any of the suggestions made in the financial plan. Should a client decide to implement their financial plan with us, we will act as either a broker-dealer or an investment adviser, depending on the service selected; implementation is separate from, and not included in the financial planning services. For information about our fee-based financial planning services, see the firm’s Financial Planning ADV Disclosure Brochure available at ubs.com/advisorydisclosures. Detailed information regarding the fees we charge for the products and services we offer, as well as other compensation received by UBS is available at ubs.com/relationshipwithubs.

    Jeff’s advice and counsel with Regeneron executives dates back to 1991 just before their Initial Public Offering (IPO). He started to help the senior executives, as they went through the early stages of Regeneron’s growth and has worked closely with many of Regeneron’s longest tenured employees since those humble beginnings. Jeff’s focus on the importance of financial planning and his appreciation for the culture of Regeneron led him to suggest the Financial Planning Benefit to the Regeneron Human Resources team. With his understanding of the unique professional demands placed on these employees and the increasing complexity of their financial lives as a result of the company’s commercial success, he helped evolve the Financial Planning Benefit concept with Regeneron. After a careful review, UBS was asked to provide that benefit to Directors, Senior Directors, and Executive Directors, beginning in 2014. In 2016, UBS was added as a Financial Planning Benefit provider for Regeneron VP’s and above.

    Starting in the financial services industry in 1987, Jeff joined UBS in 2007. Jeff is actively involved in developing new client relationships, as well as being the team’s leader in providing business and liquidity strategies. Using a hands-on approach, resulting in the development of tailored wealth management strategies, Jeff offers comprehensive financial solutions to clients. As a Certified Financial Planner professional, he provides valuable insight in helping to maximize the benefits of clients’ advanced estate planning strategies.

    Jeff graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in economics. He holds the Series 3, 7 and 66 securities licenses, as well as life insurance, long term care, and health insurance licenses.
