    Jeff Bidstrup is an Executive Director and Market Director at UBS Financial Services. With over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, Jeff is proud to lead the UBS Central Texas Market. He works with one of the finest teams of financial professionals in the industry, serving hundreds of high net worth families, businesses and institutions in Texas and around the world.

    Growing up outside of Chicago, Jeff was first introduced to the world of finance in middle school when his industrial arts teacher taught him about the power of stock ownership. This interest inspired Jeff to pursue a profession in financial services. He earned his B.S. degree in Finance from Northern Illinois University in 1990 and became a Financial Advisor at Gruntal & Co. in 1992.

    Jeff’s abilities to inspire others was soon recognized as one of his strengths. He was promoted to Sales Manager at Gruntal in 1996, which led to other management opportunities at A.G. Edwards and Wachovia Securities. He joined Morgan Stanley in 2007 and now is excited to work with advisors one-on-one, taking their business to the next level at UBS.

    Jeff’s passion for leading teams and helping clients achieve their financial goals is equaled only by his dedication to his family and community. He and his wife, Sue, live in Austin and have three grown children, Natalie, Kelly and Nick. He is a Trustee for The Long Center, Austin’s Performing Arts Center, and is a former Chair of the Western Springs Foundation for Educational Excellence.

          As the Branch Manager for the UBS San Antonio office I am passionate about helping our talented financial advisors to deliver the full range of the firm's capabilities, expertise, and solutions to our valued clients. 

          I have over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry and have been at UBS since 2004. Prior to my current role I was responsible for risk management and supervisory guidance for the West Division of UBS Wealth Management. This role provided me the opportunity to partner with some of our top financial advisors and their management teams with a focus on finding creative solutions to meet the needs of our clients. 

          When away from the office I enjoy traveling with my family, visiting national parks, mountain biking, and hiking.

                          Women are contributing more to their families’ incomes than ever before. Yet many remain less engaged than men in decision-making about the money they’ve earned. Why?

                          We believe financial participation, comprehensive planning and the support of financial professionals can help correct this imbalance.
