My Story and Services

Aaron Alexander grew up in a small town where community service was a core value, instilled in him by his parents—a funeral director and a nurse. His passion for finance emerged during his time in HR, where he found joy in helping employees understand their retirement plans. In 1999, Aaron began his career as an advisor, and from day one, his focus has been on making finance accessible through education, using analogies and stories to simplify complex topics.

Aaron believes that understanding money is key to making it work for you. Whether explaining retirement strategies or simplifying investment options, he meets clients where they are, seeks to ensure they feel confident in their decisions. His approach combines detailed technical knowledge with relatable explanations, helping clients create intentional, tax-efficient plans for retirement.

With over two decades of experience, and licenses including AAMS and Series 7, 63, 66, and 24, Aaron is now excited to bring his experience to Morgan Stanley. He is committed to helping clients achieve their financial goals through personalized strategies and a focus on long-term success.

My Process

My clients look to me for advice that includes their investments but goes far beyond to encompass business planning, investment management, lending strategies and other dimensions of their financial lives. That is why we employ a comprehensive financial planning approach that consists of the following steps:
    Icon Image
    Step 1: Initial Call
    An Initial Call in which we’ll discuss what you hope to get from a relationship with me. I’ll ask you about your previous experiences with Financial Advisors or on your own. And we’ll discuss what you perceive to be your major objectives and potential obstacles to achieving them.
    Icon Image
    Step 2: Discovery Meeting
    A Discovery Meeting in which I will take inventory of your finances and what you want your wealth to accomplish. We’ll identify your goals, attempt to quantify their cost, and determine whether you have the resources to achieve them within your required timeframe.
    Icon Image
    Step 3: Plan Presentation
    A Plan Presentation Meeting in which I’ll present your financial plan and the strategies it suggests for filling any gaps between your goals and resources. Your plan will contain an asset allocation based on the size of those gaps and your risk tolerance.
    Icon Image
    Step 4: Plan Implementation
    Plan Implementation that involves bringing your plan to life. This may entail additional consultation with Morgan Stanley professionals who focus on business planning, lending strategies and other disciplines relevant to your situation. It will also involve the development of a personalized investment strategy.
    Icon Image
    Step 5: Ongoing Evaluation
    Ongoing Evaluation to help us determine whether you are proceeding toward your financial destination as anticipated. We monitor your performance on an ongoing basis and may alter our strategies to accommodate changing circumstances in your life or trends in the financial markets.
