Thomas Cavada, CFP

Managing Director–Wealth Management

Tom began his career in the financial services industry in 1995 at Smith Barney, joining the New York office of a nationwide retirement planning group. His experience in working with clients through many market and economic cycles has reaffirmed his belief that you need to create a solid financial plan to help stay on track during volatile times. He enjoys working with his clients and their families as a trusted advisor to help them realize their goals and objectives. Tom joined UBS in November 2008 after 13 years at Smith Barney/Citigroup. In 2009, he distinguished himself amongst his peers by earning UBS’s Wealth Advisor designation. The intensive Wealth Advisor program is designed to deepen wealth management insights and master the latest tools with which to help guide clients.

Tom and his team provide their clients, primarily corporate executives who are at or near retirement, personalized asset allocation through professional portfolio management. His team begins each relationship with a comprehensive financial plan that includes a retirement income spending analysis.
