Before making the move, Marcontell and her team thoughtfully explored a variety of firms, assessing each one against their criteria: a client-first culture, sophisticated investment platform, and integrated technology that supports the advisor-client relationship. Ameriprise provided the solutions she and her team were seeking and offered them the flexibility to curate the service experience they envision for their clients. She found the firm’s independent channel to have the mix of support and flexibility.

“Our relationships with the families and individuals we serve are the foundation of everything we do as a team,” said Marcontell, who has more than 20 years of experience helping clients reach their financial goals. “I’m confident that the transition to Ameriprise will help us strengthen those relationships even further, by enabling us to streamline our service model and harness the firm’s impressive range of integrated solutions.”

Marcontell found Ameriprise to be her choice after meeting personally with many members of firm leadership, including Timari Robison, Ameriprise’s National Women’s Recruiting Director.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jennifer and her team to the Ameriprise family,” said Robison. “Our goal is to be the firm of choice for quality advisors, offering them the chance to grow their practices and develop their teams based on their vision and growth goals. The level of trust Jennifer and her team have with their clients is remarkable, and she recognized she and her team could be doing even more for them with Ameriprise behind her.”

Decision to join Ameriprise was best for Marcontell, her clients, and her team

Marcontell Wealth Management will maintain tight-knit, longstanding relationships with their high-net worth clients, many of whom are in energy and chemical industries and navigating life transitions. They work with approximately 450 families who have more than $4 million, on average.

Additionally, the move to Ameriprise allows Marcontell and her team to further build out their practice brand, capitalize on efficiencies, and provide development opportunities for their team.

“When I thought about the future of my practice, it became clear that I needed to find ways to increase our efficiency and provide development opportunities for my team members. At Ameriprise, I can empower my team members to take on greater roles in delivering exemplary service to our clients. The firm offers a wealth of resources, including critical digital capabilities that create capacity for us to spend more time with the families and individuals we serve,” said Marcontell.
