Sean Joyce
Senior Portfolio Manager, Managing Director of Private Client Group
Sean Joyce joined ASE Private Wealth® to help lead the firm’s Private Client Group, bringing more than two decades of experience advising individuals, families, and business owners through complex financial decisions.
In this role, Sean works closely with clients to deliver coordinated, long-term planning across investments, insurance, and overall wealth strategy. His approach is grounded in building enduring relationships and helping clients navigate complexity with clarity, discipline, and confidence—particularly as their financial lives evolve over time.
Prior to joining ASE, Sean built and led his own advisory practice, evolving it into a fully independent fiduciary firm. His career began at Merrill Lynch, followed by Morgan Stanley, where he expanded his experience within a team-based advisory model. This progression provides Sean with a well-rounded perspective on both institutional and independent advisory environments, and how to best serve clients within each.
Sean’s work is defined by a commitment to integrity, transparency, and long-term partnership—values that align closely with ASE’s approach to serving clients.
A graduate of Clemson University with a degree in Civil Engineering, Sean also spent time teaching English in Valencia, Spain, and traveling throughout Europe. He currently splits time between the Washington, DC area and South Carolina, serving clients across the country.
Outside of his professional work, Sean enjoys an active lifestyle with his wife Shannon, a fitness trainer. Together they spend time with their four adult children and granddaughter. Sean also performs in a rock cover band, referees high school soccer, practices jiu-jitsu, and enjoys golf.
