About Michael Jawien

Michael was born in Krakow, Poland, where he lived until moving to Brooklyn, New York, at the age of eight. He has been in the Wealth Management business since 2006 where he has assisted high net worth clients with portfolio management and financial planning. He takes a proactive and holistic approach to Wealth Management, understanding the complexities of life and the peril of a one-size-fits-all mentality. He began his own practice in 2011 when he moved to Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. He eventually grew his practice to five registered team members, each of whom focus on different aspects of the business. He brings significant knowledge of executive compensation packages, including stock and deferred compensation, to his clients who are primarily executives of publicly traded companies. Understanding the intricacy this brings, Michael focuses his strategies to support the individual situations his clients face. Through the creation of a tailored service model, his concentration seeks not only to generate returns through prudent investments, but to retain those earnings through proper planning.
He transitioned his practice to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in 2021, where he believes the firm is best positioned to support his clientele and the aspirations they have. Michael is still bilingual to this day, and in his free time enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, mountain biking, snowboarding, and swimming.
