John E. Bolton is a Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager with Bank of America Private Bank in Princeton, New Jersey. He works closely with high-net-worth individuals and families to tailor a multi-asset class portfolio to help meet their financial goals and objectives, while considering their cash flow needs and investment preferences.

John has learned from satisfied clients the importance of keeping them informed about their investments. Therefore, he believes one of his primary functions is to help you understand the connection between what you want to accomplish with your wealth and your investment strategies. John makes it a point to explain your asset allocation with you, as well as the tax-minimization strategies and multi-generational strategies employed on your behalf.

To offer you the best thinking and ideas, John relies on a team of equally talented and accomplished assistants and specialists. Along with John, they strive to be proactive in managing your portfolio, helping insulate your lifestyle from volatility and surprises, while pursuing the intentions you established for your wealth.

John has been with Bank of America and the Private Bank for more than three decades. He has been a co-manager of the CIO Dividend Equity Strategy and its predecessor guidance portfolios since 2009.
