Managing Director–Wealth Management
Financial Advisor
Helping clients grow their wealth for their most important life events
One of the first things Andy shares with new clients is that he attended Riverside Military Academy learning leadership and organizational skills that are the foundation of his business philosophy today. Clients come first. Trust is earned by developing a rapport and building relationships that last — through multiple generations. Clients and referrals appreciate the Zager team’s ability to offer the right financial advice at the right time. Managing portfolios, diversifying investments, and helping with life events— for children’s education, purchasing a home, and a retirement plan that lasts a lifetime — the Zager team sees clients through family’s milestone events, both challenging and happy.
Leading an elite team of financial advisors
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Andy learned about investing as a boy from his grandfather and father. He always wanted to help people manage their money, and to teach — qualities that make him a born financial advisor and leader. Andy mentors and inspires his team by giving them the tools to succeed. Each team member specializes in a specific set of skills backed by the resources of UBS. Clients appreciate that every member of the Zager team really listens, and every call and email is answered before the day’s end. Exceptional service often includes special events such as financial workshops about topics of interest such as retirement, legacy planning, and philanthropy.

Beyond spreadsheets and investing
Ethan Zager has been training for a career in finance his entire life. His father is the founder of Zager Wealth Management at UBS, and while growing up, Ethan had the privilege of an insider’s view of the financial industry every day at dinner time. After college and a two-year internship with UBS Wealth Advice Center, Ethan quickly discovered that there is a lot more to wealth management than spreadsheets and investing. “Most people’s idea of investing is to look out for themselves. My passion stems from the opposite. I want to offer clients a better life by helping them reach financial goals they previously thought were unattainable.”
Quality over quantity
Ethan is value driven. He is determined to give clients the best service through quality advising. His approach to wealth management is to plan long-term, without sacrificing the client’s short-term goals. Ethan believes in quality over quantity when it comes to positions.

Communicating clearly and breaking down financial details so clients can understand everything prior to making decisions is of utmost importance.
