The Quarter Points Group at Morgan Stanley is well-versed in all areas of wealth management, but our primary goal is to create a sound financial plan that helps you develop an increased sense of comfort. Markets fluctuate, regulations take drastic turns and sometimes the news makes you question if you've saved enough to retire comfortably. When you work with us, your plan helps turns down the volume on uncertainty and dials up your financial confidence.
We don't just build wealth—we build relationships that endure. Many of our earliest clients are still working with us today, as are the next generation of their families. That's not just because we are experienced at developing strategies for growth, minimizing tax burdens, and protecting assets—they know that we care deeply about them and their families. Trust and longevity go hand in hand.
On a compass, the quarter points are the markings that help steer you in the right direction. That's exactly what we will do for you. It would be our privilege to be the last team of wealth managers you'll ever need.
EXPERIENCE. INTEGRITY. PASSION.
Here's one promise we can safely make—your trust and confidence are our top priorities. You'll always know where you stand with us because we communicate clearly and on your terms. Our entire team is responsive, proactive and above all, friendly.

About David E. Chamberland
What sets me apart in the financial services industry is that my deep level of experience enables me to pivot to address my clients ever-changing needs. If a new opportunity arises, or a challenge presents itself, I’m able to adapt our plan and keep them moving forward toward their goals.
In 2014, I earned the Senior Portfolio Manager designation at Morgan Stanley. This distinguished achievement provides a vast array of unique benefits, including helping clients avoid costly delays with portfolio management decisions. They trust and appreciate the care that I take in helping them maintain the discipline necessary to navigate the most challenging of markets.
I joined Morgan Stanley in 1981, soon after graduating from the Kelly School of Business at Indiana University. On a personal note. I would like to thank my wife Suzanne and our daughters, Heather and Emily. Their level of support and understanding has allowed me to spend the countless hours necessary to build this wonderful career.

About Louis D Greifenstein
My clients recognize that what I do is not a job, but a way of life. I don’t collect clients—I build relationships. Every bond begins with a meeting of the hearts before there’s a meeting of the minds. I truly believe that a stronger personal, trusting relationship fosters better Financial Planning. For a client to entrust me with their financial well-being, I need to earn their business every day, no matter how long we have known each other. That’s why I devote so much energy into helping them make sound financial decisions.
I feel so fortunate and honored to do what I do each day with the superlative teamwork of The Quarter Points Group and the unconditional love and support of my wife and five daughters.
Currently, I hold the FINRA Series 7, 31, 63 and 65 (Investment Advisor Representative) securities licenses, as well as the Life, Variable Life, Health and Long Term Care Insurance certifications. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with a minor in Economics from Northern Illinois University Cum Laude and a Certificate in Business Studies from Indiana University.
