Our Mission Statement
We strive to grow, manage, and preserve wealth through financial planning and portfolio management. We aim to provide the highest level of service and experience to keep you educated and informed throughout our relationship, giving you the confidence to achieve your financial goals.
Our Story and Services
The Alteri Group at Morgan Stanley began in 2015 with father and son Michael and Julian Alteri. Prior to that, Michael began his career in 1987 with Tucker Anthony and built his practice on the core values of family, integrity, and hard work. In the early days of the practice Michael focused on providing brokerage services to the north country all while raising three children. It was no surprise to Michael that his son, Julian, went on to study business and finance at Utica College. After spending a decade in the banking industry and with Michael’s practice growing substantially, it made sense to form a father and son partnership in 2015, leveraging old school grit with new world ideas. As the industry evolved and the need for holistic wealth management started to take precedence over standard brokerage services, the practice was innovative and continued to grow. Michael retired in December 2022 after over thirty-five years of service to his clients and community, and in 2023 our team began the next transition and relocated Drew Parisian from the Rochester area back to his hometown. Having complimentary backgrounds in finance and wealth management, Julian and Drew work as a team to give you two local advisors that oversee your financial picture. While the financial services industry has vastly changed over the years, one thing remains constant, our core values of family, integrity, and hard work. Our team works with families, individuals, non-profits, and business owners to implement in-depth financial plans and develop portfolios that align with our client’s goals. Our goal is to provide a white-glove level of service – thoughtful, personalized, and seamless at every touchpoint.

Implementation:
We work to bring your plan to life in a tax-efficient manner. It is common to work hand in hand with your Accountant or Trust/Estate Attorney, so that the pieces of the financial puzzle fit together seamlessly.
Monitoring:
Lastly, and most importantly, we will be with you every step of the way throughout the plan, as your goals change, the markets move, or tax laws are updated. We are constantly monitoring your portfolio while also proactively communicating with you, so you can remain confident in your plan.
