YOUR FAMILY LEGACY IS OUR LIFELONG COMMITMENT
Estate Planning
You have worked long and hard to achieve success and build wealth for you and your family. Now, you may be at a point where your greatest challenge is preserving wealth and building a plan for its transition to whoever you choose, any way you choose.
Philanthropic Planning
Your philanthropic mission is as unique as your vision of a better world. Determining your objectives, however, can be challenging when there are so many worthy causes with so many unmet needs and ways to give.
Charitable Giving
Donor Advised Funds help you maximize your charitable impact, with tax-efficient strategies that align your personal values with your financial goals.
Wealth Education
Financial Literacy is a form of empowerment, equipping you with the knowledge to make smart financial decisions during every stage of life. Our Financially Fit program aims to help you do just that. We also know that discussing family finances is especially important with adult children, no matter their age. It's not always easy, but starting the conversation is a key step in long-term wealth planning.
Signature Access
Private health advisory services, personal Insurance planning needs, and advisory services for single family offices. For a select clientele, Morgan Stanley Signature Access offers a broad range of exclusive services, from private aviation, personal security, art advisory, and household staffing.
Family Business Succession
We take pride in assisting clients through significant milestones. Some are personal, others professional, still others a mix of both. Our recent work with a business owner illustrates how strategic planning can help transform the sale of a business into enhanced financial security and a family legacy of excellence.
Asset Allocation
Our client came to us with a unique vision for the future, and our strategic planning gave them a distinctive strategy to help realize that vision in a risk-adjusted, tax-efficient manner. We did not just revamp their asset allocation strategy for the sake of it, we executed a thoughtful, purposeful process that helped enhance their financial security in a constantly evolving financial landscape.
A Legacy Built. A Legacy Secured.
Despite their wealth, our client shared the same concerns as any family: What would happen in the event of an unexpected event such as a health concern? When the time came, would their children be ready to manage their inheritance? What would the tax implications be? For the affluent, these questions are often highly complex. We worked with firm resources to help design a comprehensive estate strategy that seeks to help secure their family legacy.
Precision in Financial Planning
Our financial planning process does more than just sort out retirement figures and balance portfolios. See how we helped one client achieve a host of goals — from supporting family members, funding their children's education and home purchases, and fulfilling their own dream of owning a particular vacation property — plus one goal money can't buy: clarity.
An Executive Navigates Equity Compensation
Executives are confident decision-makers. For their companies, they provide clarity, solve problems, and shape the future. But when it comes to their personal finances, they face many unique challenges. We recently worked with one client to help them navigate the maze of their compensation package.
