My Story and Services

Based in Denver, Colo., Jeanette Cox brings a wealth of experience to her role as a financial advisor serving a broad spectrum of domestic and international clients. She has been in the industry for more than 27 years, all with Morgan Stanley and predecessor firms. She joined the Pelican Bay Group in 2008. Having been at Morgan Stanley for as long as she has, Jeanette is skilled at leveraging the global resources and vast capabilities of the firm to her clients’ benefit.

Jeanette works closely with numerous business owners, giving her a broad understanding of their unique needs and goals and making her an excellent resource to them. She also has a keen interest in helping the next generation of investors understand the financial markets and how to better navigate them.

What truly sets Jeanette apart from most financial advisors is that she literally started in the business in the mailroom fresh out of high school and worked her way up the ladder, serving mostly in operational roles before becoming a financial advisor. This background has given her detailed knowledge of the business that few financial professionals can say they have.

Jeanette is extremely focused on helping clients identify their unique needs and tailoring specific plans to help them get to where they want to be. She takes great pride in adhering to the highest levels of integrity and professionalism with every decision that she makes and is deeply committed to delivering a high level of quality service with every client contact. Or as she likes to say, “I want my clients to feel they are a part of our corporate family.”

Jeanette was born and raised in Denver. Her ties to the city run deep with her large extended family. She is the proud mother of three children, who keep her extremely busy because she is very involved in their education and extracurricular activities. Jeanette and her husband Donavan, enjoy family time, traveling and exploring with their children. She also likes playing golf.
