Global leader
UBS is a leading and truly global wealth manager
At the core of the Thompson, Singor & Cimmino wealth management practice is a team of highly credentialed, tenured professionals dedicated to serving our clients. Client relationships are paramount to us, and we prioritize addressing every aspect that matters to them. Drawing on the extensive resources of UBS, we create bespoke financial plans to empower them to confidently realize their goals, lower their taxes, and advance their philanthropic efforts. We do not fit them into our box but build one around them. Amid life's complexities, we stand as steadfast partners, creating calm and anticipating needs to fortify their financial future. Through our proactive service model our clients always know when their next scheduled meeting is, this provides a continuous stream of advice and insights to navigate the ever-evolving complexities of life.
Our experience and structured planning process drives a comprehensive financial plan and customized investment strategies. Depending on where you are in your life and the priorities that matter most, our planning conversations may focus on liquidity management, your cash flow needs, asset replacement solutions such as insurance, estate planning strategies, or tax and legal structures such as trusts and philanthropic vehicles.
What defines family success? A business, property, or is it more elusive: traditions, values, ethics? And how will you pass it on to the next generation with forethought, clear goals and careful execution? Too often, before sharing assets, we neglect the actual communication of wishes, plans and expectations. Let’s change that.
A longevity strategy can help you overcome changing market conditions by helping you make long-term plans. Look to grow wealth over time so you can focus on things like selling a business or planning for retirement.
Whether it’s for your family, your community or your cause—your money and investments today will shape tomorrow. Start crafting a plan that serves your purpose and the people who matter most. We know your legacy matters to you. It matters to us too.
We are here to provide quality strategies customized to your needs. We concentrate on developing long-term relationships through a commitment to quality client service. You can rely on our personalized advice, first-class solutions, and extensive wealth management experience.
