About Saralyn Coupe
I enjoy working with clients to help connect their wealth today with a roadmap seeking to achieve their aspirations and goals in the future. This is done through the preparation of a comprehensive financial plan, developed and updated with ongoing discussions and changing life stages. My focus on the team is to generate strategies for our clients and their families addressing multi-generational financial planning, philanthropic planning, and estate planning strategies.
Prior to servicing our clients at Sherwood & Coupe Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, I was in the investment banking group with Merrill Lynch, located in both the New York and Chicago offices, working primarily for corporate clients.
I have an MBA from Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management and a BA from Albion College. I also earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, as well as the Certified Private Wealth Advisor designation through the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. These two certifications, along with ongoing continuing education to maintain them, build the knowledge base to advise clients through the myriad of ever-changing financial and estate planning strategies.
In addition to my time serving clients, I enjoy involvement in the community. Currently, I'm chair of the investment committee at St. Cecilia Music Center; a member and past president of the board of the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Foundation and a member and past chair of its investment committee; an advisory board member of the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University; and also, a member of the Financial Planning Association, Western Michigan Estate Planning Council and the Investments & Wealth Institute.
My husband and financial advisor partner, Mark Sherwood, and I live in downtown Grand Rapids. We have a daughter who recently graduated from Hope College and a son who attends the University of Michigan. As a family we enjoy music, tennis, skiing, golfing, and traveling.
