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.

About Lisa Silver
Lisa joined Morgan Stanley in 2012. Over the past 10 years client interaction and client related services have been her primary responsibility. In the last few years, Lisa’s role on the team has grown and she is now heavily involved with the financial planning for our clients.
After graduation from college and before becoming a mother, Lisa utilized her degree in Journalism by working for a South Florida advertising firm. She was responsible for handling executive planning, media buys and B2B advertising for major accounts. In 1989, Lisa transitioned to the radio industry, subsequently working for two of the market’s top radio stations as a sales executive.
After meeting her Canadian-born husband Jeff, Lisa worked for a worldwide leader in electronic component distribution in Montreal, where she was tasked with the multi-national responsibility of handling several major clients around the world, before moving back to South Florida in 1997.
Lisa was born in Fort Lauderdale, but raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and moved to Boca Raton where she has lived for over 30 years, with the exception of three years in Canada.
Lisa has been married for 28 years and has two sons, Matthew and Andrew. Now that Matthew is independent and a pilot for American Airlines and Andrew is in his senior year at FSU, she has more time to focus on her own career. In her free time, she enjoys exercising, cooking and socializing with who means the most to her.
