Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Robert B Furst 75 Rockefeller Plaza, Manhattan, New York 10019

"When my wife and I got married we knew it would be important to work with a financial advisor. Both as an expert and as a 3rd party to discuss financial goals. Being new to NYC, I knew there would be a lot of financial advisor options. Thus, I wanted to narrow that and work with someone with a great track record. I saw that Robert and his team have received multiple industry awards, like the Forbes Top Advisor and Best In State Next Generation Wealth Advisors. These easily exceeded my requirement. Once we met, we found that Robert listens well and is very easy to talk with. He puts our own investment goals first. We began with a fairly simple investing strategy and have developed a more sophisticated strategy over time. My wife and I are very pleased with the financial returns we've earned as they have met our targets we set forth. I'd highly recommend Robert Furst to anyone looking for a wealth management advisor with a fantastic track record."

"A close family member introduced me to Rob and his practice at Merrill Lynch, and he has been as thoughtful, responsive and helpful as advertised. He and his team have access to unique investments, and they are able to explain them in very clear terms without a lot of the jargon that some other financial professionals seem to rely on. One of my favorite parts of my relationship with Rob is that my family has the ability to call him at any hour for all things financial."

"Robert has been my advisor for a number of years now. What I like most about him is his attentiveness to my concerns and the effort he puts in to explain my investment options to me. Having previously used an advisor at another firm who would call me once a year just to deposit more money, Robert is the polar opposite. He has never once asked me to deposit more cash - instead he calls me regularly to discuss my portfolio and any changes. He is not pushy and very knowledgeable and can explain things clearly to those who are not in the world of finance. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone decent, honest, and smart."

"I met Rob at JFK waiting to board a flight and ever since he has been the driving force for my family's financial planning. I recommend his team to everyone I know. Rob's financial planning and access to subject matter experts has allowed for a very easy path to mortgages, life/disability insurances, asset management, retirement and estate planning just to name a few things he does for us."
