Team Philosophy

Where the science of financial decision making intersects with the unique personal and business circumstances of wealthy clientele, our team empowers clients with the information, resources and support to make more enriching financial decisions.  This empowerment is born from two key concepts: (1) An in-depth understanding of each respective client we serve and what they care most about; and (2) Extensive education, experience, and expertise in the sciences that apply to personal financial decisions in global markets.  

Paramount are your goals for your family, your personal needs, and your understanding them allows us to serve you in a manner that goes beyond just financial figures. We then determine your time horizon for various key benchmarks and we gauge your risk tolerance, before devising an investment model aimed toward achieving your desired outcomes. We will assist you in updating your goals when appropriate providing a comprehensive organizational process that will help you simplify your life and navigate the unexpected ups and downs not merely of the financial markets, but of everyday life where finances are impacted. 

We study investment trends and leverage this knowledge to help you develop a personalized investment strategy.  For this reason, no two plans are exactly alike. Our focused approach to investing is founded in a disciplined, process that underpins how we work together.

Ultimately, we’ll be working with you to organize your life, simplify the planning process, and free up your time. It all begins when we first meet and becomes progressively more enriching and rewarding as we develop a strong, trust-based working relationship meant to last a lifetime. This means less reliance on hunches and opinions, greater confidence in decision-making and real plans for what to do under a range of different circumstances.

We are a team of driven individuals that naturally want to connect and understand others. Let us know how we can serve you.

About Amanda Brock

Amanda Brock is a Registered Client Service Associate at Morgan Stanley in Beverly Hills, where she oversees the operational, compliance and service-related processes for James Schneiderman and The Beverly Hills Group. She has nearly a decade of experience in the financial industry, and has earned the unwavering trust and confidence of both her team and the clients she serves.

Prior to joining the Beverly Hills Group at Morgan Stanley, Amanda served as a client associate with a top wealth management team at a local firm downtown Los Angeles. She joined her previous team immediately after graduating from college, and brought along the fresh insight to update processes and assist with streamlining the team's administrative tasks.

Amanda received a Bachelor’s Degree in Accountancy from Northern Arizona University. She holds both the Series 7 and Series 66 licenses.

As a native Angeleno, Amanda enjoys spending time outdoors by hiking various trails around the city. One of her greatest climbs occurred in the YMCA charity event Rise to the Challenge, in which she has climbed the 1,664 steps (75 stories) for the past three years and counting. Amanda is an avid cook, who continues to pick up new techniques from her travels, most recently to Thailand and Indonesia. Amanda's passion for food can be attributed to all of the great cooks in her family, most notably her father, who was a chef. Amanda is also a huge Kings fan, and can frequently be found attending games at the Staples Center.
