Private client at Merrill is great for certain types of people. If
you're used to initiating and generating your own business and have a
large network to draw from, then it's perfect. The firm offers as much
development as you need and let's you succeed or fail on your own
without bothering you much. The platform is the most comprehensive on
the street and the architecture is very open, so you have complete
freedom in terms of investment style. From what I can tell from
friends at other firms, Merrill has (recently developed) much better
technology and financial planning capabilities than the other retail
shops, so it makes it easier to target high net worth. Merrill is very
supportive of women and minorities and is definitely trying to create a
diverse work environment. The personal dynamic amongst the FAs seem to
be much less competitive and backstabbing than some of the other
firms.
