Personalized Strategies for Complex Wealth Needs
The Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®) designation reflects advanced education in addressing the financial challenges and opportunities that often come with significant wealth.
This credential focuses on the full wealth lifecycle—planning for growth, managing risk, and preparing for future generations—and supports a deeper understanding of areas such as:
- Tax-efficient planning
- Legacy and estate considerations
- Business transitions and concentrated stock
- Charitable and philanthropic planning
- Retirement income strategies for affluent individuals
Earning the CPWA® designation requires rigorous coursework and ongoing education through the Investments & Wealth Institute. It is designed for advisors who work closely with high-net-worth individuals and families to develop thoughtful, personalized strategies.
This designation underscores my ongoing commitment to helping clients navigate complexity and make informed decisions at every stage of wealth.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
