1 Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, December, 2024
Source: Barron's.com (May 2024) 2024 Barron's Top 250 Private Wealth Management Teams awarded in 2024. The teams are ranked on a variety of factors, including their size and shape, their regulatory records and credentials of their members, and the resources they have at their disposal to serve their client bases. The rankings are meant as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor—a first-pass vetting that can help investors narrow a search. Every advisor will have his or her own approach to investing, financial planning, and other services. Clients are encouraged to approach a search for an advisor the way they would a search for a doctor—interviewing multiple professionals and getting opinions from multiple third parties. Rankings are based on the opinions of Barron's and this ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience. This ranking is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance.

Our Clients
While our clients come from diverse backgrounds, and each of our clients has their own unique journey to wealth, they are united by a shared entrepreneurial drive, an enthusiasm for innovation, and a profound belief in their own potential. They tend to possess a keen understanding of capital markets, yet recognize the need for specialized access and resources to preserve and grow their assets. As dedicated stewards of family wealth, they are deeply committed to nurturing the legacies they are building.
We seek to go beyond the standard to deliver a seamless client experience, encompassing everything from personalized wealth planning and strategy to investment management and beyond. Our team is driven by a distinct mindset – one that is entirely focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for the clients we serve. In a financial landscape that is constantly evolving, we prioritize consistency and clarity, crafting solutions that are as unique as our clients.
These clients include:
Senior Executives who have complex incentive compensation packages and concentrated equity positions in public companies. These often require Rule 144 and 10b5-1 plans and other sophisticated diversification strategies. While most are highly sophisticated in financial matters, their personal, business and civic commitments often leave little time to focus on their personal finances.
