Today, as part of UBS, Steve and his team are dedicated to providing strategic financial planning, critical retirement income planning, and investment management for their clients and their families.
Among his top priorities in his practice is assisting clients in building an investment strategy designed to maintain rising income and purchasing power for a comfortable and independent retirement. Furthermore, Steve strongly believes in his investment philosophy and the strategies he recommends to his clients, ensuring that every investment aligns with a well-designed comprehensive financial plan. Steve is committed to advocating for what is possible for his clients and their families.

Kevin Daugherty has had a lifelong connection to the wealth management industry, witnessing firsthand the impact of financial advising through his father's work. Growing up, he observed the way his dad built meaningful relationships with clients and their families, inspiring Kevin to follow a similar path.
After graduating from Arizona State University in 2006, Kevin took his first steps into the industry as a Wealth Planning Analyst. In this role, he provided essential support to over 150 financial advisors, gaining valuable experience in planning and communication that laid the groundwork for his future practice. It was during this period that he discovered the crucial distinction between being an advisor and being a leader. Witnessing his father and his partner, Marty, exemplify leadership by actively advocating for their clients, Kevin realized that he wanted to follow in their footsteps and become a true leader in the financial advising realm.
Kevin's passion for helping clients achieve their goals and dreams only grew stronger as he saw the positive impact his work had on their lives and families. Embracing this newfound vision, he has grown into the role of a Wealth Advisor and Senior Vice President at UBS.
Today, Kevin is dedicated to providing leadership by enrolling clients in a bigger vision of what is possible for them and their family.
