Awards and In The Press
Steve Earle holds the Certified Portfolio Manager (CPM®) certification that is sponsored by the Academy of Certified Portfolio Managers (ACPM) affiliated with the College of IOER at Columbia University.
The CPM certification is designed to provide a deeper understanding and application of fundamental security analysis, asset allocation, and portfolio management concepts for financial services industry professionals managing discretionary portfolios. The program advances knowledge in three vital areas: Valuation Analysis, Portfolio Construction and Risk Management. We feel this gives us an advantage in asset management, and the ability to recognize value where others may not. In other words, there is most often a difference between price and value.
Steve Earle has joined a select group of fewer than 4% of Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors who have completed our rigorous Family Wealth Director (FWD) certification program as of September 2018. Building on his experience working with ultra-high net worth families the FWD certification allows Steve to better assist clients with a broad spectrum of wealth management in areas, including:
• Business succession planning and monetizing business
ownership
• Alternative investments
• Control and restricted securities
• Equity and interest rate risk management
• Wealth transfer
• Family Governance and Dynamics
• Philanthropic Services
The FWD designation also allows Steve and his team to access an exceptional group of wealth management professionals within Morgan Stanley's Family Office Resources group to access a broad spectrum of needs.
The CFP® certification process, administered by CFP Board, identifies to the public that those individuals who have been authorized to use the CFP® certification marks in the U.S. have met rigorous professional standards and have agreed to adhere to the principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism and diligence when dealing with clients.
