Gregory Shurts

Senior Vice President

Private Wealth Advisor

Greg knew as a pre-med student in college that helping people was what he wanted to do in his life. Today, as a UBS Private Wealth Advisor, his path has changed, but his goal remains the same. Caring about clients’ financial and personal well-being. Helping them achieve goals and take care of their families and future. Building long-term relationships with grandparents, parents, and children. That’s what he does each day—and he loves it.

Greg joined UBS Private Wealth Management in 2020 after a decade-long career at Goldman Sachs. Working across UBS and connecting clients with the firm’s global experts, he and his team integrate multigenerational financial planning and deeply disciplined portfolio management with solutions-driven advice. Investing on behalf of his clients’ best interests is Greg’s passion. Service, integrity, transparency, and professionalism shape every decision as he strives to earn trust and instill confidence.

Greg currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife Kate, a former elementary school teacher, and four children – Murphy (5), Finn (4), Lucy (3), and Patrick (under 1). Outside of work, Greg is a voracious reader who enjoys watching and playing both hockey and golf, and when not working, he loves visiting family in Lake George, New York, and Vero Beach, Florida. Greg is also an active supporter of Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, and the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund, which helps families tackle childhood cancer. He holds a degree from Lehigh University (BS) where he graduated with honors.
