THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE

Professional Wealth Insurance Advisors

WHY MERiTAGE?

There are several "i" factors that differentiate us:

​

  • Integrity - every program developed is based on the best possible outcome for the client.

  • Intentional - our substantial experience means every recommendation is critically constructed and considered. Our programs are well researched, designed and executed.

  • Intelligence - we offer a team of educated, well-informed, and time-proven advisors. We have designed and implemented sophisticated  legacy plans for some of America's wealthiest families. 

  • Instructional - we strive to make  sure your clients understand the strategies, tactics, benefits and risks of our wealth transfer plans. 

Merit + Heritage = Meritage

Meritage was founded on the cornerstone of two key strengths: experience and excellence.  We bring a respected and extensive history (heritage) of excellent service (merit) to high net worth clients.

Through years of work with our financial advisors' most important client relationships, we understand how the wealthy make decisions. We can assess client tolerance for complexity. And the importance of gaining consensus among tax and legal advisors. Expertly designed programs and plans that exceed client expectations is our standard. Hence the name Meritage. 

​

  • Merit: to claim respect; excellence; worth. 

  • Heritage: something that is handed down from the past, as a tradition

​

Additionally - we built this firm to see the individual in every situation. The lower case  "i"  is intentional.  Because, the process of creating solutions for clients is never about us. Every client is unique so every program we recommend is custom designed to meet the needs of the individual clients. The best interest of your client is always paramount.

​

Also, notice the "i" is in the middle of the word. We strive to be the middle of the equation, standing alongside the client and the advisor to create coherent solutions.
