About Peter Maloney
Peter Maloney is a Financial Advisor and Senior Vice President at Morgan Stanley who brings a relationship-first mindset and decades of market experience to helping clients make financial decisions. He is passionate about helping people—building long-term relationships, understanding what matters most to each client, and putting thoughtful plans in place to help them work toward their goals.
Pete’s approach is grounded in trust, straightforward guidance, and follow-through. Clients know he takes their best interests seriously and is committed to providing clear, dependable advice. He’s known for being personable and direct—and for never guessing when it comes to a client’s financial decisions. If he doesn’t know an answer, he will say so and then do the work to get it right.
Pete began his financial services career in 1989 at Merrill Lynch, initially working in a real estate branch locations group as a lease negotiator. In 1993, he earned his Series 7 and transitioned into a role in New York City. He previously served at Morgan Stanley from 2007 to 2015 and returned to the firm in 2026. His service model emphasizes regular portfolio and performance reviews, aligning investments with client goals, and making adjustments as life evolves.
He holds Series 7, 31, 63, and 65 licenses, along with insurance licenses for life and health and long-term care. Pete is also a Portfolio Manager at Morgan Stanley and has held the CIMA® designation since 2009. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, majoring in Finance with a minor in Economics.
A dedicated community member, Pete has been active for years in youth basketball, including serving on a local board and coaching for approximately 15 years. Outside the office, he enjoys golf and is a member of Foxfire Country Club in Naples, Florida, and he also spends time traveling, at the beach, and doing a bit of birding—plus the occasional basketball shoot-around.
Pete splits his time between Naples, Florida—where he is typically based most of the year—and Westerly, Rhode Island. His children are grown, and he is especially proud to be working alongside his daughter, Maeve, who is joining him in the business—adding fresh perspective and supporting continuity for clients over time. As Pete often says, he’s an open book: he believes the best client relationships are built on being real, and on understanding the full picture of what’s happening in clients’ lives—not just their finances.
