Matt Reilley began his career in the Financial Services Industry in 2017 at Morgan Stanley, where he became a fully licensed Financial Advisor. He then joined Robinhood Financial in 2019, where he focused on advising clients on effective stock option strategies. He rejoined Morgan Stanley in early 2022 to assist with the growth and client services of The Black Group.
Growing up in the family of a Financial Advisor, Matt was constantly learning and building enthusiasm for the markets. It was through his ongoing learning that Matt realized the importance of advising clients to help chart successful investing paths. Throughout his early career, all roads kept leading back to being an advisor. Few things in life are as important as how you manage your money. Bridging this gap and helping people to understand their financial journey is the principal reason Matt became a Financial Advisor.
Matt is excited to help deliver to the clients the benefits the team structure can bring – with expanded resources and better client coverage. His favorite parts of the business are helping guide all generations of a household to be able to get where they want to be financially and providing clients with the ability to realize their full financial potential.
Matt takes a 24/7 365 approach to clients’ money management needs and it is something he differentiates himself on. Understanding where a client wants to go in their financial path while encompassing their immediate needs, positions Matt and the team to help provide confidence. Matt is a resource who can support clients with important life decisions.
Matt is deeply committed to making a client’s financial journey frictionless while supplying them with the resources to navigate any situation. He is enthusiastic about educating the younger generation with topics surrounding money management solutions and opportunities, as well as navigating the various cash management and investment tools the firm offers.
Matt graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Economics. He splits his time between Florida and New York and enjoys spending time with his niece, Mila, and his nephew, James. He is a fan of Pitt Sports, Golf, and being out on the water.

7An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

7An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
