Our Team at Morgan Stanley Menlo Park Branch

About Charles R. Levy

With over three decades of financial services industry experience, I have been Market Manager in Menlo Park since 2010. Both at my branch and across the Silicon Valley Market, I am committed to providing ongoing leadership to all Financial Advisors—veterans and rookies alike—in an effort to help them maintain a superior and consistent level of client service. In particular, I do whatever I can to help new Financial Advisors make a seamless transition from their previous firm and prepare to help them achieve their personal and/or team’s goals.

Culturally, the Menlo Park Branch values collaboration and entrepreneurship. I believe Financial Advisors thrive in our environment because integrity and professionalism are evident in every relationship, both within the office and with our clients. Our Financial Advisors enjoy the full support of branch management, as well as the Firm, throughout their careers. Our unique approach to the business enables us to build meaningful, long-lasting bonds with our Financial Advisors, who are consistently among the most productive in the Firm. We also have many multigenerational client relationships, which is a source of great pride.

Morale is a critical factor in a Financial Advisor’s success and I make it a point to serve as an outlet to Financial Advisors who need assistance with their practice, whether it is during the recruitment process or down the road.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a specialization in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of California, Los Angeles. My wife, Elizabeth, and I live in Mountain View, California, with our two daughters, Allyson and Kate, and our dog Bandit.

“The Financial Advisors at Menlo Park have access to a global platform of resources, services and specialists that enable them to select a wide variety of solutions to help meet the diverse financial needs of their clients, who range from high-net-worth individuals to large corporations. One of the many benefits of the Silicon Valley Market is that we are able to deliver personalized investment, wealth management services and corporate capabilities, coupled with tailored in-depth advice.”

1When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

6The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
