My Story and Services
Ron Schwartz is a Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor, and Senior Portfolio Manager with The Modern Perspective Group at Morgan Stanley. Ron brings three decades of experience to his clients’ lives, helping them achieve their long-term goals across various phases of life and even across generations.
A graduate of the University of Alabama (B.S.) and DePaul University (M.B.A.), Ron first entered the industry in 1992 as a financial advisor with Smith Barney (a predecessor of Morgan Stanley). After three years at the Firm, he spent the next ten at JP Morgan Private Client Service, where he enhanced his financial planning and wealth management approach with a focus on 401k plans. During that time, he earned the rigorous Certified Financial Planner® designation to become a truly comprehensive resource for all his clients’ wealth management needs. With that same motivation, he came on board with Morgan Stanley in 2005, seeking to offer his clients a world-class suite of resources.
With The Modern Perspective Group, Ron draws from deep firsthand experience and elite credentials to provide clients with a wide range of support. He helps clients with everything from financial planning for individuals and businesses, to 401(k)s, SEP plans, charitable giving strategies, insurance needs, and portfolio management –– including alternative investments to help overcome market volatility.
Even more than what he can offer, Ron prides himself on how he goes about working with every client; he takes the time to fully understand a clients’ needs and goals, and he keeps those needs and goals at the forefront of their strategy. Whether for a minor financial complication, a major life transition like retirement, or an emergency like the passing of a loved one––Ron extends himself as a resource to help guide his clients every step of the way.
A native of England, Ron now resides in Chicago with his wife and their four children. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family and staying active with triathlons, cycling, running, and golf. He volunteers as a coach for an American Youth Soccer Organization team and sits on the board of the local AYSO chapter. Previously, he served on the Finance Committee of Jewish Child and Family Services, and as Board President of Israel Bonds Young Leadership.

10An 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.

Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.

19The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
20Structured Investments are complex and not appropriate for all investors. An investment in structured investments involves risks. These risks can include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying asset(s), interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial loss of principal, limits on participation in appreciation of underlying asset(s), limited liquidity, credit risk, and/or conflicts of interest. Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.

17When 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.

19The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
20Structured Investments are complex and not appropriate for all investors. An investment in structured investments involves risks. These risks can include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying asset(s), interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial loss of principal, limits on participation in appreciation of underlying asset(s), limited liquidity, credit risk, and/or conflicts of interest. Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.
