About Francesco Vento

Francesco Vento was born in San José, Costa Rica, and spent his early childhood in the US. At age 10, he returned to Costa Rica, where he remained through high school before moving to Texas to pursue his college education. He earned a bachelor's degree in Finance with a minor in International Business.

Francesco's professional journey began in Chicago at a local investment advisory firm, where he earned his Series 65 license and served as an investment advisor. In this role, he was deeply involved in managing client portfolios and building long-term relationships.

After nearly two years in Chicago, he seized an opportunity to return to Miami and join BTG Pactual, one of the largest investment banks in Latin America. There, he expanded his skillset, attained his Series 7 and 63 licenses, and became part of a high-performing team led by Nicolas Bas. The team later grew with the addition of Bryan Bourre, and together they built a strong practice focused on client service and strategic investment solutions for international clients.

Seeking to broaden their capabilities and deliver even more comprehensive services, the team made the strategic move to Morgan Stanley, where they continue to serve their clients with a global perspective and a commitment to excellence.

Outside of work, Francesco is a passionate athlete. He has competed nationally in golf in Mexico and spent much of his youth immersed in tennis and soccer. Currently, he is training for the Chicago Marathon, one of the six World Marathon Majors. Living in Miami Beach, he takes full advantage of the ocean, surfing, and fishing whenever possible.

3An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

4Fixed Income investing entails credit risks and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.

5Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.

7Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.

Back to top



8Structured Investments are complex and not appropriate for all investors. An investment in structured investments involves risks. These risks can include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying asset(s), interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial loss of principal, limits on participation in appreciation of underlying asset(s), limited liquidity, credit risk, and/or conflicts of interest. Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.
