About Us

The City Point Wealth Management Group (CPWM) at Morgan Stanley is a boutique wealth management practice seeking to provide exemplary service and holistic advice to help families and organizations achieve their financial planning, investment, wealth transfer and philanthropic goals.

CPWM was recently formed through the merger of two groups – The Toomey Waterman Group and The Hood Collins Group. Now a six-member team with diverse backgrounds and a strong moral compass, we work with affluent individuals, multi-generational families, foundations and organizations who value close relationships with seasoned advisors.

The decision to combine teams was made so that we may serve our clients more efficiently with more resources and more diversity of thought and talent. Our goal has always been to provide superior service and results to those who put their faith in us. This merger gives us the best opportunity to do so. We look forward to continuing to advise you and your families through all of life’s twists and turns.

Charting a clear and confident course to financial success begins with understanding your values, priorities, and goals for the future. Working together, we define what is most important to you and your family. Using that information, we then develop the appropriate strategies to help you achieve those goals. Through each step, we provide objective advice and investment insights to construct a plan that is uniquely yours.

It is truly a privilege and a responsibility to advise our clients. We realize that relationships are built over time and trust must be earned. Our commitment to our clients is to continually strive to earn that trust throughout our relationship.

Working closely with your other advisors who provide tax and legal advice enables us to maximize the benefits of strategies implemented.

Please contact us to discuss how we may be able to guide you going forward.
