Interview Question for Financial Advisor Trainee at Merrill Lynch:

It’s an opportunity to work at the most prestigious and largest brokerage firm in the world. With over 15K FA’s and $2.2 trillion in client assets Merrill Lynch offers unparalleled resources. For example, not only is Merrill Lynch the global leader in Wealth Management, with a Global Research team that received top tier honors in almost every financial ranking possible for 2009, but it is also one of the largest issuers of municipal bonds in the country. Therefore, Merrill has the ability to give the RIA access to the primary muni bond market at the institutional level which is just one example of Merrill’s far reaching capabilities as opposed to other firms.
