My Mission Statement
To deliver excellence and experience in helping clients like you develop and implement advanced investment and wealth management strategies
Susan Feitelberg
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I help a select clientele of successful families and individuals develop and implement advanced investment and wealth management strategies that help them achieve their goals. I excel in collaborating with and leveraging the expertise of other top Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors to bring the best intellectual capital of the firm to my clients.
I've been recognized by Forbes’ and Shook Research as a Best-In-State Advisor and a Best-In-State Women Wealth Advisor for 7 consecutive years, including 2024. I've also been named to Forbes' Top 250 Women Advisors from 2018-2024. I see these distinctions as a reflection of the high standard of service I deliver to my clients. I received my M.B.A from Northeastern University and my B.A. in Economics from The College of the Holy Cross, where I currently serve as a trustee.
I live on the Upper West Side of New York City with my son. I am avid cyclist and have also competed in over 100 triathlons and a handful of marathons.

My Experience
Achieving the financial future you envision is like running a marathon—it’s a long-term goal that requires planning, determination, discipline and persistence. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and Family Wealth Advisor, I am committed to being with you every step of the way, guiding you in the right direction and connecting you to the resources you need to reach your goals.
Since 1997, I have been helping successful individuals, families and institutions manage their financial affairs so they can focus on what they do best. The long-term relationships I’ve built over the years are the primary measure of my success, and putting my clients’ best interests first is my top priority.
Your relationship with me begins with an in-depth conversation about your values, interests and goals, as well as the people that bring joy and meaning to your life. We will also talk about your assets, your advisors, and your expectations from our relationship. Understanding the big picture of who you are and what you hope to accomplish enables me to help you develop a strategy that encompasses all the factors that may impact your financial life. From there, I curate the right expertise and experience needed for your specific situation, and coordinate the best-in-class resources required to bring your strategy to life.
Like a family office, I work alongside your other trusted advisors—such as your CPA, tax and estate attorneys, or real estate broker—to help ensure an integrated approach to managing your wealth. I am always just a phone call away if you need a sounding board or sympathetic ear. Being based in New York City also enables me to create opportunities to meet with portfolio managers in person, so I have unique insight into the analysis and intelligence behind your investments.
I look forward to learning more about you and your family, and exploring how I can help you achieve the financial future you envision.

Approach
Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.

1The 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.
