Jeffrey “Jeff” Hunter, CFP®

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Private Wealth Advisor

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.
