Modern Wealth Management

Modern Wealth Management begins with understanding YOU and YOUR unique needs. Only then can we leverage the right resources to help you meet your needs and achieve your goals. Understanding all your needs and goals, both big and small, allows us to develop a customized holistic strategy to guide you on the path called life. Filled with ups and downs, and surprises both good and bad, we are there to help you navigate life's biggest challenges.

What does a holistic strategy look like?

    Financial Planning
    The cornerstone of our methodology and process, financial planning is how we start every relationship. We begin by learning about who you are, what your values are, and what goals you are trying to achieve. We believe making this human connection and understanding the "why" behind your financial goals allows us to best serve your needs. We align this background with our suite of tools and solutions to build a custom plan to help you navigate life's biggest obstacles.

    Tax-Smart
    Being tax-smart is at the forefront of everything we do. Tax efficiency is a guiding principle in how we select and manage your investments, and how we work to add value to your circumstances. We leverage Morgan Stanley's robust suite of tax tools to be forward thinking and intentional to help you reach your goals.
    Icon Image
    ESG and Sustainable Investing
    We believe it is important to align your investments with what you value. This can play as small or large of a role as you would like, and typically consists of thematic investing, impact investing, donor advised funds and philanthropic giving, and a variety of other areas. We will develop a custom investment solution to help you make an impact in the areas you most value.

    Alternative Investments
    Leveraging Morgan Stanley's robust Alternative Investments Platform, we identify private investment opportunities that align with your goals and help diversify your portfolio.
    Alternative Investments Platform

Discover. Plan. Implement.

Successful outcomes begin with having a thoughtful and deliberate process. This repeatable process is what allows us to provide holistic advice that will help our clients reach their goals, no matter what they are.

What does this process look like?
    Icon Image
    Discover
    Getting to understand you and your circumstances is the first step in providing tailored advice. Understanding how you got to where you are, what you value, and who you love helps us identity your “why.” This background allows us to create context around your finances, and to better understand your priorities and goals.
    Icon Image
    Plan
    After understanding where you are and where you want to go, we develop a customized financial plan and investment strategy to help get you there. The financial plan allows you to answer the big questions: Am I on track? Will I be ok? What happens if...?
    Icon Image
    Implement
    Executing on this customized strategy is where phase two starts: The Client Experience.

Adding Value to Your Situation

Having clients trust us with their financial wellbeing is something we do not take lightly. We are incredibly sensitive to earning the cost of working with us, and providing a service that goes above and beyond to continue to add value to your situation. Adding value doesn't stop at financial planning and investment management, but goes beyond these to address all parts of your financial life. These can include things like estate planning, private banking and lending, and philanthropy, to name a few. It is about always having someone to call with any questions. It is about having someone who is monitoring your entire financial life and providing guidance to make adjustments as needs change and opportunities present themselves. It is about having someone you trust, to provide the right advice at the right time, in order to help you navigate life's most sensitive and important challenges, changes, and opportunities.

How do we earn and build this trust? How do we continue to add value? It is built on a foundation of communication, partnership, and a commitment to providing the best possible advice and services.
    Icon Image
    Communication
    Communication means making sure you are comfortable with and understand what is happening with your investments so you can sleep better at night. Communication also means that there is someone just a phone call away who can provide advice and answer any questions you have. Life can happen at any time of the day, week, and year. That is why you need someone who is ALWAYS there for you.
    Icon Image
    Partnership
    I believe whole heartedly in the proverb "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together." Acting as your partner, we are there to support you as you navigate life and strive to achieve your goals. Working together, we develop a goals-based financial plan, help you stick to the plan and remain on track, and adjust the plan as circumstances change and opportunities present themselves. Throughout this partnership we set up milestones and checkpoints to ensure we remain true to our mission of providing outstanding service and advice, in order to meet your moment, and help you reach your goals.
    Icon Image
    Learning
    The world, and your needs and goals, are always changing and evolving. With our commitment to learning and development, we remain dynamic in order to best leverage the robust toolkit Morgan Stanley has available to ensure that our clients are getting the most updated and relevant advice possible.

4The 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.
