Patrick Sweeney has been a dedicated wealth management professional since 1989 bringing over three decades of experience in helping guide clients toward their financial goals. With a strong foundation in accounting and extensive training in financial services, Patrick offers comprehensive financial planning and asset management solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Over the course of his career, Patrick has guided clients through some of the most challenging economic events of the past several decades—including the Dot-com bubble of 2000, the aftermath of September 11th, the Great Recession of 2008, and the COVID-19 pandemic. His steady leadership and deep market insight have been instrumental in helping clients make sound decisions during turbulent times.
He holds multiple industry licenses, including the Series 7, 63,65, and 31 as well as state insurance and national mortgage licenses. Patrick is also a Morgan Stanley Financial Planning Specialist a designation that underscores his commitment to delivering thoughtful, strategic financial advice.
Having worked at the same firm—or its predecessor firms—since graduating college, Patrick’s career reflects a deep commitment to continuity, loyalty and perseverance. These values have served both him and his clients well as a long-term employee of Morgan Stanley.
A fourth-generation Newport Island native, Patrick returned to his hometown in 2005 after spending 15 years at the Smith Barney mega branch in Boston. He is married with three children and remains actively involved in the local community.
Outside of the office, Patrick leads an active lifestyle and enjoys endurance racing. He has competed in several Spartan Races, Tough Mountain Challenges, half marathons, and numerous 5Ks. An avid outdoorsman, he has hiked most of the Maine Appalachian Trail and continually seeks new physical and [mental] challenges. He has completed several survival courses in Alaska and undertaken solo expeditions in remote areas in northern Alaska. His adventures also include hiking in the Swiss Alps, across Italy, and through the rugged terrain of the northern Canadian Rockies.
Patrick also holds a Merchant Marine license and has been an enthusiastic boater for over 35 years. His offshore adventures have taken him around the world, where he has participated in catch-and-release programs for tuna, shark, and marlin—combining his love for the ocean with a commitment to marine conservation.

A Plan Tailored To Your Needs
A generation ago, financial planning was relatively straightforward – people focused on wealth accumulation and then shifted most or all assets into conservative instruments to provide retirement income and principal stability. But today’s world is more complex, and turning a lifetime of savings into a lifetime of sustainable income for people who are living longer, healthier, and more active lives means attending to a wide range of issues simultaneously.
Together, we answer questions that may seem daunting:
- Do I have enough money to live for 20 years or more in retirement?
- How is it possible to generate enough income with low interest rates?
- What can I expect for inflation?
- Can my portfolio weather a market downturn?
- Are my assets protected if something unexpected happens?
Some of the areas where we apply our advanced knowledge on your behalf include:

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.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact 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.

Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
6An 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.
