About Daniel Shannon
Dan Shannon
Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management Director, Wealth Advisor
Dan is a highly seasoned Wealth Advisor who has established a solid reputation for providing financial advice and building a strong “personal business relationship” with each of his clients during a career that has spanned three decades.
Dan’s vast level of experience has enabled him to form perceptive insights that can only come from having worked through some of the more challenging market climates of our time.
Over his career, Dan has also built an extensive, far-reaching knowledge base in many important financial areas, most notably holistic financial planning, individual security selection, asset preservation, and retirement and estate planning strategies.
Equally important, Dan invests extensive time and resources getting to know each client on a highly personal basis. He fully understands that the more he learns about his clients, the more helpful, if not invaluable, he can be in their financial lives.
To Dan, nothing is more important than the financial success of his clients, and everything he does – and everything that his team members do – is conducted with that precise, all-important goal firmly in mind.

10When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
11The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
