My Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals
My Story and Services
Our clients lead pretty incredible lives. They have built successful businesses, or lucrative Wall Street or entertainment careers. Most come from middle-class families and are in the process of generating serious wealth through their own talent, hard work and willingness to take well-calculated risks. As a result, they have created extraordinary opportunities for themselves and their families, and they are facing complex wealth management challenges.
Acting as the CFO of their personal financial lives, we work to develop, implement and maintain plans to help our clients protect what they have earned and enjoy the lifestyles they have created. We go all in with every client, working to understand what they need to lead the lives they envision. Then we add our own talents and network to the global resources of our firm to craft a solution that is theirs and theirs alone. We are always thinking about how we can improve our services to better meet their needs, and we never forget that our success is 100% dependent on their trust and satisfaction.
We look forward to learning more about you and your vision of a successful life, and discussing how we can help you achieve it.

Holistic Wealth Planning
Morgan Stanley has developed a holistic offering to serve Family Offices and investors with north of 500 million US dollars in total net worth. The service spans across providing investment advice, administrative support and subject matter expertise across a variety of topics that are important when managing significant wealth.
• Our objective is to enhance investment management decision-making and alleviate administrative complexities so that families can better strive to meet their goals and focus on the things that matter to them.
• Our capabilities allow Morgan Stanley to act in a fiduciary capacity on the portfolio (regardless of where the investments are custodied), while delivering consolidated tax-lot level accounting and reporting across custodians through an institutional quality platform.
• We strive to complement the investor's current structure, giving them leverage through infrastructure and investment management capabilities, as well as the breadth of Morgan Stanley.

Benefits for our Clients: Investment consulting and Portfolio Administration
- Serve as a fiduciary by advising on investments held across the entire portfolio (including those custodied outside of Morgan Stanley)
- Our construct allows us to be flexible around the client as their needs evolve over time (e.g., as the composition of their portfolio changes, as they come into a liquidity event, as they establish a framework for the next generation, etc.). We still act as a fiduciary on their entire portfolio even if they choose to have their assets held at different places. We truly become their partner in evaluating investments holistically within the context of their goals and objectives.
- We have a dedicated team responsible for sourcing new ideas, plus we can tap into Morgan Stanley’s network and the other sophisticated Family Offices within our ecosystem
- Utilizing us allows your clients to get depth and expertise in any space instantaneously; and also allows them to pivot freely as market dynamics, opportunities or priorities shift
- Perform comprehensive due diligence on investment opportunities, as well as review existing investments
- Diligence is performed by a team of ~65 people, which naturally becomes an extension of their Family Office
- We vet the opportunities that the client brings to us, and our investment and operational diligence teams will perform the fulsome diligence they would if the opportunity were being brought for distribution on the MS platform
- As investment opportunities come their way, we become the voice of reason if the investment doesn’t make sense via their objectives and they have to say no to a family member/friend/acquaintance
- We bear the risk of the investment decision-making for those investments under our diligence purview
- Keeping track of growing portfolios continues to become more difficult over time. MSFS allows clients to track every cent in one place, so they have one consistent and consolidated view. Regardless of the type of asset or where the asset is held (doesn’t need to be @ MS), MSFS can reflect the asset in the books and records.
- With this MSFS infrastructure in place, our investment team has the transparency that will allow us to bring clients our most robust investment management capabilities. When we can see the entire portfolio alongside the family, we can think about things holistically and make better, smarter, faster decisions.
- There are many differentiators of MSFS vs. other third party platforms that clients may consider to help aggregate their assets, but the most important ones are the richness and accuracy of the data and service model. The core of the MSFS offering is a full service accounting platform, with dedicated accountants serving each of our clients, enabled by proprietary technology. We provide the client with tax-lot level books and records down to the transaction level, and produce working papers for tax purposes. Other common providers are not true accounting systems. We do not just take downstream custodial feeds and play them back on a reporting tool – we reconcile those feeds to the upstream data directly from the executing broker dealer daily. Upon the basis of accurate and verified data, we offer industry-leading analytics tools, reporting and cash management functions.
Benefits for Clients: Our Specialized Subject Matter Experts
- Tax, Trust & Estate: Holistic analysis of tax, trust and estate solutions to help preserve wealth
- Family Governance: Family-focused offering to help address family dynamics and other human capital challenges
- Philanthropy: Suite of services to help define and execute on charitable missions
- Wealth Education: Programs to help build financial knowledge
- Signature Access Lifestyle Advisory: Access to a referral network that can offer an array of specialty services (e.g., private jet advisory)
- Insured Solutions: Comprehensive insurance offering across providers and products
- Tailored Lending: Cash management and borrowing
- Easily accessible subject matter experts who can address the complex, multifaceted challenges of managing significant wealth and help equip them with best practices and executable solutions
