Biography
Jesse Cohen joined Morgan Stanley in early 2018, continuing his varied career in the Financial Services business.
In 2013, right after earning his degree in Finance from the highly regarded Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, Jesse joined USBank’s back-office operation. There, he supported the Bank’s hedge fund clients and their positions in interest rate derivatives.
From USBank, Jesse joined the New York City office of Bank of Tokyo MUFG as a sales analyst, interacting directly with the bank's interest rate traders and clients. His main role included pricing derivative swaps, as well as assisting in consolidating client's debt positions.
Seeking more independence and control, as well as focusing on meeting longer-term needs of individual clients, Jesse joined Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s program in early 2018. As a financial advisor, he started helping clients build long term financial plans and positioning their portfolios for future success.
Jesse is particularly attuned to the needs of blended families. As part of an extended blended family himself, which includes eleven nieces and nephews, as well as their respective parents and others, Jesse understands the importance of starting forward-looking financial planning and advice as early as possible.
