Welcome

Named after the Concourse at Landmark Center, The King and Queen Group at Morgan Stanley helps successful individuals, families, professionals and those navigating life transitions simplify their finances.

At the center of our process is a conversation separate from the finances, we want to get to know you and what is important to you. Through our initial conversations, we will be able to formulate the strategies that are appropriate for your needs, whether you are accumulating wealth or investing for income, solidifying your retirement plan or navigating a major life transition. For us, planning means more than providing our clients with investment advice. It means helping them maintain the financial independence they’ve worked their whole lives to achieve.

Behind our team stands Morgan Stanley’s broader firm with meaningful intelligence about every major asset class and a presence in every major market, as well as investment research from some of the world’s most seasoned and respected investment professionals. Our clients also have access to a premier trading and execution platform and a full spectrum of investment choices.

Approach

Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
