Working With You
We are confident you will not find a team of professionals more committed to helping you reach your objectives. To that end, we believe in the following principles which serve as the foundation of our practice:
Our relationship is the right fit.
A successful relationship begins with the right fit between client and advisor. We limit the number of clients we serve and are proud to work with families who seek the type of long-term, fully-engaged relationship we offer. The bond we form is fundamental to our mission.
A differentiated level of service.
We value long-term relationships and are available to address your needs beyond the traditional work week. We're also honored that our client relationships span decades and generations; our clients not only trust us to help build their futures, but the futures of their children and grandchildren.
Planning for your lifestyle.
You've dedicated your life to creating wealth for yourself and your family; now is the time to enjoy the benefits of your labor. Using your goals as our guide, we create a financial strategy aimed at helping you create and maintain the lifestyle you desire.
Experience and education.
Our team leverages years of experience and believes in continued education as a means to provide the highest quality of advice and guidance. With our combined experience in the banking, insurance and financial services industry, as well as our advanced certifications, we provide up-to-date ideas and solutions to our clients.
Managing Wealth, Making a Difference
Successful wealth management begins and ends with personalized service and attention to detail. We enjoy working with families who seek the same kind of long-term, fully engaged relationships that we value and who appreciate the following attributes of our team.
Personal Relationships
We make it a priority to build deep and personal relationships. We do this by working with a select group of clients who value our depth of knowledge and experience in providing comprehensive solutions that go well beyond investments. The bonds we form are fundamental to our mission and evidenced by the generations of families we proudly serve.
Concierge Service
Many advisors can provide a good financial plan and strategy, but few excel at delivering a superior service model that emphasizes highly customized service and ongoing communication. We deliberately keep our practice small so we can deliver a 'Ritz Carlton' experience.
This allows us to spend the time with our clients that is necessary to always know what is happening in their lives, and they always know what is happening in their lives, and keep them informed about what is happening with their wealth.

Industry Experience
Our team is committed to continuing education for our members, who have earned the designations of Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Chartered Retirement Plan Counselor (CRPC®) and Chartered Retirement Plan Specialist (CRPS®) from the College of Financial Planning.
These designations are representative of the skills needed to help you achieve your financial goals without the fear of running out of money or changing your current lifestyle.

Investment Excellence
We have extensive experience managing investments, including alternative investments such as private equities, exchange funds, private real estate and hedge funds.

We work in partnership with your estate and tax professionals, as well as an array of specialists at Morgan Stanley to acquire the knowledge needed to effectively manage your wealth, while ensuring our recommendations are fully aligned with your financial goals. We provide busy professionals, business leaders and generational families with a comprehensive suite of solutions.
Educating Family Members
Financial education for you and your family is fundamental to our practice and helps ensure continuity as wealth moves from one generation to the next. We are here to assist your entire family as they face important financial challenges, by providing access to resources they may not otherwise have access to and being available to answer critical questions that may impact the long-term wealth of your family.

About Jared Hermann
Jared Weston Hermann, Sr. is a First Vice President and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley who works with ultra-high-net-worth families and closely held businesses to make complex financial decisions simpler—so they can spend more time focused on family, business, and the life they want, and less time coordinating competing priorities.
Clients often come to Jared when their financial lives have “outgrown” a traditional approach: a liquidity event on the horizon, a concentrated position, multiple entities and trusts, real estate holdings, or the desire to build a multi-generational plan with clarity and control. Jared helps bring these moving parts together into a coordinated strategy—aligning investment management with tax-aware planning, estate considerations, and risk management in collaboration with clients’ attorneys and CPAs.
A core focus of his practice is private investing for qualified investors.
Jared helps clients evaluate opportunities across private companies and private markets—such as private equity, private credit, and private real estate—when appropriate, with an emphasis on thoughtful due diligence, portfolio fit, and long-term planning.
Jared began his career in 2001 as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch and transitioned his practice to Morgan Stanley in 2008
Based in Sarasota, Florida, Jared is the proud father of four children—Makenna, Weston, Charlee, and Grayson. He is actively involved in the community with a passion for raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer and congenital heart disease. In his free time, he enjoys basketball, pickleball, golf, and fishing.
