My Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals
My Story and Services
There are two parts to investing: the numbers and the emotions. As your Financial Advisor, I will make sure that you understand both parts in order to make informed decisions that are in your own best interest.
In order to understand the numbers, we will complete a thorough interview process where I will be able to understand your current financial situation and gain more insight into where you want to be in the future. From there, we will be able to develop a comprehensive plan that takes into account various aspects of your financial life.
In order to control the emotions that come with financial matters, I have the ability to take discretion over the investments in my care, which means that you will not have to make the day-to-day buy and sell decisions over individual investments. This way, you can have confidence knowing that someone you know is working on your behalf to potentially provide for your financial future.

Financial Roadmap for Women
Charities and Associations
While serving the members of her community as a Financial Advisor is her occupation, serving her community through volunteerism and involvement is her passion. Phyllis regularly donates her time to causes that she believes has a large impact on the people of her community, whether it is providing access to boating for people of all ages, or ensuring that a family in need has a meal to eat.
Hope 4 Life Food Pantry
The Hope 4 Life Food Pantry provides food for those who are food insecure while providing education, support and facilitation services to identify and address the root causes of hunger. By working with a network of charities and service organizations in the area, the Food Pantry aims to combat food insecurity through the power of community until those that they serve are able to realize their full potential.
Pleasant Bay Community Boating
Believing that the privilege of boating shouldn’t be reserved for the privileged, Pleasant Bay Community Boating is a community center that offers boating, marine education, and environmental stewardship opportunities to all members of the surrounding communities regardless of financial, physical, developmental or cognitive ability. From Kayak Tours to Experienced Recreational Sailing to Monthly Speakers Series, there is a program for everyone that has resulted in over 16,000 lessons taught to thousands of students of all ages, many of whom have become instructors and volunteers themselves.

About Phyllis F Long
Phyllis F. Long’s career in financial services began after she graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Risk Management and Insurance. She brought the skills and insight gained from her experience working as an Insurance Underwriter at the Hartford into her current role as a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, a position she has held since leaving The Hartford.
As a Certified Financial Planner and Senior Portfolio Manager, Phyllis’s responsibility is to create financial plans that take into account various aspects of her clients’ financial lives. Her background as an underwriter combined with her experience as a Financial Advisor give her a broad understanding of how to balance risk and return in order to help reach client goals. By first articulating the personal and financial objectives of her clients, she is then able to work with them to create an asset allocation for their financial assets that is appropriate with what they are trying to achieve. Her comprehensive approach to overall wealth management includes the review of life insurance and annuities, as well as savings and spending plans.
Outside of work, Phyllis enjoys sailing, donating her time to the Hope 4 Life Food Pantry, and spending time with her family in Simsbury, where she lives with her husband, Jim.

Asset Allocation does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets.
