About Patrick Riepenhoff
Over his 20-year career, Patrick has helped numerous clients meet the challenges and manage the complexities that often accompany significant wealth. Patrick is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ who believes that a comprehensive plan is mandatory for understanding what you truly want your wealth to accomplish and what might prevent you from achieving your goals.
At the two major regional banks where he worked before joining Morgan Stanley, Patrick built a successful practice, while supervising and mentoring several other Financial Advisors across Ohio. His focus with them was no different than the focus he has always prioritized with his own clients – to provide them with service that can help make a difference in their financial lives and to cultivate a relationship marked by depth, longevity, and mutual respect.
Patrick joined Morgan Stanley because he believes his clients can benefit greatly from the extensive resources available here. A financial planning platform that goes beyond investing to encompass virtually every aspect of your financial life, asset management capabilities that conduct exhaustive research of third-party investment management organizations, a global outlook on financial markets – these are the attributes that compelled him to come here. And these are the attributes that Patrick firmly believes will help his clients take a more direct route to their financial goals.
Patrick has a BA in Economics Management from Ohio Wesleyan University. He is a native Ohioan and resides in New Albany, Ohio with his wife Tami and their two sons, Grant, and Blake. When Patrick is not serving his clients, he can often be found coaching or watching his sons play baseball.

1Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
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.

4Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is the trade name of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, a registered broker-dealer in the United States.
5Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available. The Morgan Stanley ADV is available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV.
6The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
7Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
8Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
