My Story and Services
Drawing on more than 15 years of professional investing and wealth planning experience, Lola Santos designs, implements and maintains highly customized investment strategies for a global clientele of affluent families and individuals. Her primary focus is on developing goals-based plans that precisely address each client’s specific risk profile and liquidity needs. Her highly customized solutions often include a sophisticated combination of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, alternative investments, derivatives, and foreign exchange, through a diverse range of vehicles in the public and private markets to deliver a remarkably personalized investments portfolio.
Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2025, Lola, spent 15 years at the J.P. Morgan Private Bank. She joined J.P. Morgan in New York as an Analyst on the investments desk, where she worked with ultra-high net worth families in Latin America. In 2021, Lola relocated with her family to Boulder, Colorado, and joined the investments team for the Rockies Region. Prior to J.P. Morgan, she was a Consultant with McKinsey & Company, working with the private initiative, governments, and NGOs internationally. She also spent over a year volunteering in orphanages in Brazil and Malawi.
Born and raised in Mexico, Lola earned a B.S. in economics from the Tec de Monterrey. She and her husband, Roberto, cherish outdoor adventures with their sons, Joaquín and Sebastián, they’re passionate F1 enthusiasts and they spend their weekends hiking, biking, and skiing. When not exploring the great outdoors, you can find Lola in a yoga studio.

Approach

Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
