Our Story and Services

The 437 Group of Morgan Stanley was formed with the common belief that financial planning means more than providing investment advice. Preparing our clients for life’s transitions, both expected and unexpected, is our objective. We begin with a discussion of your current circumstances and future goals. We then address issues you might have overlooked and determine how we can refine your strategy.

PLANNING FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFE

The 437 believes financial wellbeing begins with having a Financial Plan. Your stage in life will determine the type of planning needs and questions you have. Do you have a plan in place?

Your financial plan should include more than just your investment objectives. Rather, it should be tailored to address the personal life and legacy goals you've identified and prioritized. Our planning process begins with you, your personal goals, your financial goals, and your investment objectives. It is holistic in its approach and encompasses all the key elements of your financial life as well as your cash management needs. Your curated wealth plan includes research and recommendations across a wide range of asset classes, themes, models, and investment managers to accomplish your objectives.

The CFP® Professional:
Dennis Wilt and Kailen Gildersleeve Denton are certified by the CFP® Board. The CFP® designation shows that Dennis and Kailen have taken the extra step to demonstrate commitment and professionalism by voluntarily submitting to the rigorous CFP® certification process to better serve our clients.

The certification process includes demanding education, examination, experience, and ethical requirements. These four cornerstones set the foundation for our ability in helping clients achieve their goals. Our diverse skillsets can help you navigate the complicated financial factors in your life.

Our Goals-Based Planning Platform:

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. 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.

8Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
