Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Daniel Humbert

The 225 Liberty Street address sits a few blocks from the Financial District’s main drag, where financial planning is more custom than cookie-cutter. Daniel Humbert, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor, works out of the 40th floor—mezzanines between the 30s and the 50s make the tower feel taller than its street number suggests. They talk equities and fixed income with the same breath they weigh retirement timelines and 529 plans. Long-term goals crowd the agenda early; short-term needs like budgeting and cash-flow snapshots arrive later.

If the numbers start to glide off the page, dial (212) 236-5338 to anchor the next steps. The trading floor hums below, but up here the focus narrows to portfolios, trusts, and risk modeling. A quick look at the directions on the maps listing should thread you through the lobby queues and straight to the elevators.
