Industry Award WinnerOur Mission Statement
We help highly accomplished executives, entrepreneurs and families to simplify and gain control over the complexity and challenges that accompany financial success.
Welcome
Empowering clients to craft financial security in their lives is the underlying principle that drives The 225 Group and our team of professionals at Morgan Stanley.
Operating like a small, nimble boutique firm inside the confines of a large, global company, we aim to protect and grow what you have worked so hard to earn.
Whether we’re helping a busy corporate executive develop an all-inclusive financial plan, assisting high-tech professionals with their equity compensation, working with successful families seeking to secure their financial dreams, or advising small business owners on how to protect their businesses while focusing on personal finances, The 225 Group is dedicated to helping our clients achieve financial success. Our primary goal for each client is a customized approach to wealth enhancement, wealth preservation and wealth transfer.
Our clients believe in the importance of building a long-term relationship with their financial advisor. They deserve—and expect —an advisory team who shares their vision, earns their trust and works diligently to help create a customized investment plan that seeks to ensure financial success, often over multiple generations.
The 225 Group is dedicated to helping affluent individuals and families define and achieve their long-term financial goals. We believe it is our responsibility to be aware of the changes in our client’s lives so we can anticipate and respond strategically to new risks and emerging opportunities. The end result is a coordinated financial and investment plan, updated regularly, that helps meet your unique wealth management goals today and down the road.
Money, in and of itself, does not create the skills to manage it. Our mission is to empower you to be confident in your financial decisions through education and understanding so you have options about your future, not obligations. We want you to enjoy the wealth you are creating before, during and after you successfully exit your career.

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.
Equity Planning
As Morgan Stanley Workplace Advisors specializing in Equity Compensation, our team brings advanced training and deep expertise in company-specific plans. We help employees align their equity compensation with their broader financial objectives and long-term strategies. Many of our clients are senior executives with complex incentive structures and significant concentrated holdings in public companies. We design sophisticated strategies to help unwind concentrated stock exposure over time while prioritizing tax mitigation and portfolio diversification. Understanding that your professional and personal commitments often leave little time for financial management, we simplify your financial life—developing customized approaches to maximize the after-tax value of your equity awards and integrate them into a cohesive, holistic wealth plan.
- How market fluctuations may impact the value of your awards
- Hypothetical sell and exercise scenarios
- Potential tax implications, which you should discuss with your tax advisor
- Finance real estate or renovation
- Pay tuition
- Purchase an investment property, vacation home and more
- Consolidate debt
- Pay quarterly or annual taxes
- Exchange Funds - offer immediate diversification without triggering taxes—you swap your shares in exchange for units in a professionally managed portfolio
- Long/Short Extension Funds - a strategy that deploys leveraged long and short equity exposure to enable enhanced tax-loss harvesting in up and down markets
- Equity Derivative Solutions - Customized transition planning using hedging, monetization, or exit strategies via exchange traded options/derivatives.
- Planned Giving - Combine charitable giving with tax optimization
- Reducing concentration risk
- Selling shares during company trading blackouts
- Sales of restricted, control and concentrated positions
- Gifting of restricted or control stock
- Helping maintain an affirmative defense against potential insider trading allegations
Equity Award Analysis Tool
The Equity Award Analysis tool enables you to capture and review stock and option holdings, assess both gross and net values, and analyze hypothetical exercise and sell strategies. This comprehensive analysis aids in evaluating choices to effectively pursue financial objectives and manage risk.
Lending Against Company Stock
We can help employees to strategically borrow against a portfolio, potentially without disrupting long-term plans. Services available to executives include a line of credit they can use to:
* Borrowing against your company securities may be prohibited by your employer. Consult your company's applicable internal company policies if pledging company securities.
Managing a Concentrated Position
We can help qualified investors unlock solutions that enable you to diversify in a tax-smart way.
Executive Financial Services, Rule 144, 10b5-1 Trading Plans and More
We can help you manage both your equity compensation and complex financial needs so you can focus on moving your company forward.
From 10b5-1 trading plans to Rule 144 form filing and tax mitigation strategies, our dedicated team provides hands-on support for your executives' equity compensation plans, including:

2When 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.

Because sustainability and impact 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.
