Background

About James Ruskin

I spent the majority of my career as a Portfolio Manager and Equity Analyst with premier firms such as The Dreyfus Corporation, BNP Paribas and Avenue Capital. Just prior to joining Merrill, I was a publishing sell-side analyst covering Industrial companies. Most recently, I spent four years as a Director, Senior Investment Strategist with the Portfolio Strategies/Solutions Desk at Merrill advising Financial Advisors and clients on the markets, economy, investment themes and implementation. As a Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Financial Advisor, I utilize my vast investment knowledge and market experience to help clients meet their wealth management goals and aspirations while carefully managing risk. In addition, the breadth of coverage and insight provided by my company's research and the views of Investment Management & Guidance help guide me in creating a customized wealth management strategy for clients. I work to provide an exceptional level of client care, customization and service. Let me know if you are interested to see how my over 30+ years of institutional and retail investment experience can help you meet your financial needs and goals. I live in Armonk, NY with my wife, Judy, and have two grown children. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, paddle tennis and skiing. I am a graduate of Manhattanville College with a BA degree in Biology.
