Working with Us
The Agathos Group at Morgan Stanley spans multiple generations and backgrounds of financial professionals combining their diverse skillsets to deliver a premium wealth management service to their clients. The team is centralized in Southlake, Texas with an office in the York, Pennsylvania area, serving a select client base and their respective networks.
A Holistic Approach to Your Finances
At The Agathos Group, we understand that Clients have financial needs that go far beyond their investment portfolios. That's why we pride ourselves on taking a holistic view of your complete financial picture, encompassing the following process:
1. Discovery Process
In the first stage of our process, our team invests the time necessary to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and risk exposures, enabling us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
2. Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
We help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives by working with your tax and legal advisors.
3. Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
We create a customized asset allocation reflecting risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
4. Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
As short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions, our team will analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns before making adjustments.
5. Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After conducting a comprehensive due diligence and in-depth analysis of expected results across a multitude of market scenarios, our team chooses strategies from our expansive investment platform.
6. Ongoing Progress and Assessment
While the initial investment plan we implement serves as a foundation of your financial house, our advanced plan looks beyond investments to address circumstances related to wealth enhancement, wealth transfer, wealth preservation, and charitable giving. Our team is committed to conducting ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to help ensure your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs. This is done in coordination with your other advisors.
Disclosure:
Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining financial market.
