I strive to understand my clients and their needs by developing a close professional relationship built on mutual trust and understanding.
Laura M. Raulinaitis, CFP®
Laura Marie is a Senior Vice President, Alternative Investments Director and
Co-Founder of The Lake Avenue Group at Morgan Stanley. With passion and conviction, she serves as the team leader, shaping the group’s strategic vision. Laura Marie believes in the strength, partnership and comradery of teams. As a basketball player in her younger years, she learned first-hand about the value of communication and the importance of trust, which all effective teams possess. She strategically built The Lake Avenue Group to utilize the strengths of each team member, seeking to ensure clients have all the resources they need to address their financial concerns and circumstances from one complete team.
As one of the team’s two CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERs™, Laura Marie is committed to earning the trust of families by focusing on multigenerational wealth transfer and managing family dynamics.
Serving as a financial advisor, she helps clients create strategies for almost all aspects of their financial-lives — from putting children through college and preparing for retirement to caring for aging parents and leaving a lasting legacy. Laura Marie prides herself on providing the highest level of service. She has a particular knack for taking a bird’s-eye view, finding the most effective and efficient route to achieving each client’s goals. Her flexibility and passion for connecting with others enables her to quickly pivot when the situation calls.
Laura Marie’s most important work prior to joining Morgan Stanley came from growing up in rural Maine, where she worked at a family-owned sporting camp. This experience had a profound impact on the rest of her life. It is where she developed her strong work ethic, where she was introduced to the stock market by a vacationing guest, and where she learned about the unique challenges facing small-business owners. The meeting inspired her to pursue a profession where she could combine her newfound interest in finance with her desire to help others. This passion underscores her commitment to offering every client a financial plan not only to prepare for, also to deliver a better future.
Laura Marie believes the traits of honesty, hard work and perseverance that she learned from her parents during childhood serve as the bedrock of her advisory practice today. She also believes in the power of giving back. She and her husband are involved in a number of local charities, including
The Westlake Yacht Club and their sailing program for kids. Laura Marie is also active with the California Museum of the Arts in Thousand Oaks, the New West Symphony, the Elizabeth House for Battered Women, the Pasadena Boys and Girls Club and the Westlake Juniors.
Laura Marie earned her B.S. degree in business administration and has been with Morgan Stanley since 1997. In 2020 & 2021, she was chosen by Forbes magazine as one of the top women wealth advisors in the country. In 2021, she was chosen by Forbes magazine as one of the Best-In-State wealth advisors. In 2022, she was chosen by Forbes magazine as one of the Best in State Women Advisors. Laura Marie lives in Westlake Village with her husband and business partner, Darius, and their dogs, Honey, Freddie and Charlie and commutes to the Westlake office. Never meeting a challenge she didn’t like, she runs marathons, rides bikes and snowboards. Laura Marie also enjoys reading, country music and sailing on their boat, Liberty, on Westlake Lake.
