Ed's Sophisticated Investing
When it comes to alternative investments, Ed utilizes the Morgan Stanley Investment Management platform to help his clients best achieve their goals. As a leading provider of alternative investment strategies with expertise that spans across private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure and managed futures markets, there is an individually tailored solution for each client’s unique needs. Ed is dedicated to serving the needs of his clients by delivering exceptional portfolios and custom alternative investment programs.
Over the long term, the best means to deliver attractive, uncorrelated returns is to focus on segments where specialized expertise and a partnership approach is rewarded; structural dislocation, capital supply/demand imbalances and complexity prevail; and Morgan Stanley's resources and reputation provide unique sourcing, information and value-creation advantages. The use of alternative investments is a critical part of Ed’s differentiated portfolio composition process and we look forward to exploring the solution that fits best for your individual needs.
Morgan Stanley Alternative Investments is not a one-size-fits-all-approach. Leveraging our robust platform and working with your dedicated regional team may allow for creative solutions to the unique financial challenges your clients are solving for while maintaining a goals-based approach to their asset allocation.
