Industry Award WinnerOur Mission Statement
Our mission is to improve the well-being of our clients by understanding their needs and providing a clear path forward that meets or exceeds their goals.
Welcome
Founded over 30 years ago by David Abelson, the Abelson Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley advises a broad range of clients, including multi-generational families, corporate executives, business owners, other high-achieving professionals and retirees. However, in order to deliver the customized, attentive service that’s been the hallmark of our group since its inception, the number of clients we serve are limited.
Our team can guide you every step of your financial journey—both today and for decades to come. We thrive on solving challenges that require an outside-the-box approach or solution. In many cases there are both financial and personal factors to consider. Addressing both aspects is essential to provide the best possible care for you and your family. We strive to simplify the complexities of your financial world so you can focus on what matters most to you.
Unlike many groups, we’re dedicated portfolio managers. We utilize our proprietary portfolio models, perform our own investment research and execute trades internally. Doing so gives us additional flexibility to accommodate your specific financial requirements and preferences.
We’re long-term thinkers. Every client must have a comprehensive financial plan because it provides the foundation for sound wealth management. As part of this holistic approach, we can consult with your other trusted advisors—such as a CPA or estate attorney—to help ensure all components of your wealth management align accordingly. This type of collaboration may also better position us to provide comprehensive oversight of your assets.
The intimate size of our group allows each team member to get to know you personally. Our clients find it reassuring to talk to a familiar voice who knows their story whenever they call our office. It’s one of the many reasons the majority of new clients are referrals from current clients.
We serve clients throughout the nation, and can work with you no matter where you live. Whether you prefer meeting remotely, in-person at our Palm Harbor location or at another Morgan Stanley office across the United States, we’re happy to accommodate your wishes. It’s part of our family tradition of providing clients with personalized care.
