Mary Fazio, CFP® CDFA® is a Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. A seasoned financial professional with over 25 years of experience, Mary approaches her relationships with gained wisdom and empathy. She believes in the power of dialogue, which helps to draw out how people feel about their financial life:
"Wealth is a sensitive topic. Helping people unpack their goals and current financial positioning enables them to uncover the unknows and ultimately provides peace of mind once we design a plan."
Mary has a particular focus on women going through life transitions, such as planning for retirement, and those facing divorce or the death of a spouse. With clear and caring communication, she strives to provide her clients with the necessary support to tackle life's toughest challenges.
Upon her graduation from Boston College in 1995, Mary joined Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City. Mary worked in Institutional Equity Research Sales for 18 years at J.P. Morgan and Oppenheimer & Co., before returning to Wealth Management in 2018 as a Financial Advisor. When she and her husband moved their family to Atlanta during the pandemic in 2020, to be closer to her husband's family, she joined Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. She joins Morgan Stanley in 2024 to further her practice.
Mary holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, and she is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® professional. She also obtained the Life & Health Insurance and Variable Annuities licenses.

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.

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.
