Premium products and services, including personalized investment management solutions, alternative investments, structured products, securities-based line of credits, and cash management offerings.

Personalized services from outside firms, including trust, jumbo mortgage, philanthropic, and business owner solutions.

Preferred pricing and rates on goods and experiences, including hotels, travel, and family activities.

“Over the years, our Mind, Body, and Wallet report has shown that financial well-being plays an outsized role in influencing overall well-being,” said Marianne Caswell, President of Park Avenue Securities. “The goal of our Private Client Group is to support financial well-being by offering an elevated wealth management experience that puts our clients at the center, looking at their goals, family, and what they want to achieve in life. Rooted in our unique strategy of emphasizing both protection and growth, the Private Client Group is a core part of our commitment to supporting client well-being.”

“In working with high-net-worth clients, their unique circumstances and financial goals require a tailored approach. The establishment of Park Avenue Securities’ Private Client Group builds on the firm’s legacy of offering the products and tools individuals need to take charge of their financial future while introducing an enhanced level of white glove service that meets the needs of high-net-worth individuals,” said John Lentz, Partner and Financial Advisor at Strategic Wealth Group.
