TCG & Associates, an 18-person advisor team, joined UBS Wealth Management. The new team members will join UBS’ Mid Atlantic wealth management team, which is managed by Ellen M. Pierce, and will be located in the firm’s new Columbia, SC, office. A multigenerational team with nearly 200 years of combined experience, TCG & Associates is dedicated to serving high-net-worth families, business owners and corporate executives.
The team includes financial advisors Michael Velasco, Ladd G. Lumpkin, Larry Rowe, John F. McCabe, Brent D. Roof, Thomas Caskey, William Velasco and Paula Sabbagha.
“The TCG & Associates team is comprised of talented and experienced individuals, dedicated to providing their clients with best-in-class advice and service,” Ellen M. Pierce, mid atlantic market executive at UBS, said. “We believe we have the strongest platform for Financial Advisors, and with our suite of high-net-worth capabilities, these talented professionals will be able to deliver the full power of UBS to their clients. We are thrilled to welcome them to the team.”
Recognizing the growing demand for wealth management services in the local region, UBS has announced the opening of a new office location in Columbia, expanding the firm’s footprint across the Mid Atlantic Market. Market director Katherine Schuba will oversee the new Columbia office.
“We are very excited to expand our presence in the region with the opening of a new office location in downtown Columbia,” Pierce said. “The investments in our team and local footprint reinforce our commitment to this important market and being the wealth manager of choice for clients and advisors.”
Within the firm’s Mid Atlantic Wealth Management Market, UBS also welcomed financial advisor Jason Mayer at the end of August. Mayer is based in Charlotte, NC and reports to market director Ronald Fleischman. With more than 23 years of industry experience, he focuses on providing comprehensive financial planning for business owners, individuals and families.
