My Mission Statement
To Create a Comprehensive Approach to Wealth Planning Strategies,
Designed to Enhance the Impact on both Lifetime and Legacy.
Designed to Enhance the Impact on both Lifetime and Legacy.
My Background
I work with individuals and families who are looking to effectively utilize their resources in order to enhance and preserve their financial and philosophical values. This is accomplished through customized investment management, coordination with a client’s tax and estate planning professionals, and working together to develop a meaningful philanthropic strategy to reflect their lifelong legacy. This holistic process involves working with clients to evaluate their various investment portfolios in order to manage risk, enhance return, and minimize the impact of taxes.
I began my investment management career in 1986. Over the past three and a half decades, I have had the benefit of gaining perspective on the markets by having successfully weathered the dramatic market cycles which have characterized this period. The focus of my practice is to create sustainable client portfolios, and to facilitate the transfer of both Assets and Aspirations from one generation to the next.
I am passionate about the process of educating clients and their families about the economic, financial and emotional circumstances which can have an impact on the process of making appropriate and successful long term wealth management decisions.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Smith College, and a Master's degree from Harvard University.
I currently serve on several boards including the Boston branch of the
American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and Birthright Israel,
as well as the Hadassah - Brandeis Institute.
I am currently a trustee of Hebrew College in Newton, MA, and the Jewish Arts Collaborative. I have recently been appointed a Trustee Emeritus of The Children's Museum of Boston.

My Clients
Every client has unique circumstances and concerns. As a financial professional, it is my responsibility to understand what is likely to be most appropriate set of solutions for each specific situation.
To accomplish this, I am able to access the vast resources of Morgan Stanley, and work with colleagues in various related fields in order to design appropriate strategies to accomplish client goals.
The complexities of the business and market cycles require both historical perspective and current knowledge. Without education and guidance, even the most sophisticated individuals tend to gravitate toward taking either too much or too little risk. My objective is to ensure that the various components of my clients’ financial strategies are diligently designed and consistently monitored in order to create the confidence that they are able to achieve their goals.
Sustainable and Impact investing is frequently a component of developing portfolios to enable clients to translate their values through investments and portfolio strategies which reflect their priorities.
I have had the privilege of building many long-term, multigenerational client relationships.
These relationships are a reflection of the critical elements of integrity along with a well structured and holistic approach to working together over many years.
Patience , Persistence and Perseverance, which enable a client to weather the vicissitudes of the markets, along with Historical Perspective and Market Insight… are additional components of the
“Secret Sauce” of creating enduring relationships.
I consider it a privilege to be able to work with clients to assist them in developing strategies which enable them to transfer both Assets and Aspirations from one generation to the next.

1Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is the trade name of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, a registered broker-dealer in the United States.
2Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
3When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

5The 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.
