Meet The BHR Group

About Timothy D. Broderick

With 33 years in the financial services industry, Timothy D. Broderick is the most senior member of The BHR Group at Morgan Stanley, bringing a wealth of experience in personal financial wellness programs and an extensive knowledge of corporate stock plans to the team. Serving corporations, stock plan needs throughout the years has allowed him to develop a proficiency in The BHR Group’s other core competency: servicing the wealth management needs of past and present corporate executives and entrepreneurs.

Additionally, Tim is dedicated to his continuous professional development, and is among a select group of Advisors holding the rigorous Family Wealth Director designation. This elite designation gives The BHR Group direct access to the Family Wealth Advisory Services (FWAS) suite of resources and products, empowering the team to provide their ultra-high net worth clients with a truly differentiated experience, competitive with a multifamily office service platform.

Tim’s natural affinity for finance and close attention to clients, underlying thoughts, beliefs and tendencies align perfectly with The BHR Group’s philosophy of educating and empowering clients, corporate and individual, to make decisions that are based on fundamentals rather than emotion. “We don’t go into meetings telling people what to do. We listen to what their goals and objectives are, we educate them so they can make appropriate decisions for their unique situation, and then we create a customized plan to help meet those identified needs.” Clients appreciate Tim’s personable style, possibly “old fashioned,” but given the choice, he much prefers face-to-face meetings versus communication exclusively by phone and email. “Paying attention to detail is paramount. Connecting on a more intimate level allows for a better understanding of the individual, their situation, and how I can construct a long-range plan that can help provide desired results.” This philosophy feeds directly into The BHR Group’s client-centric, high-level service approach and creates the mutual trust and respect necessary for a long-term, positive relationship.

Outside of work, Tim is an avid golfer and he also breeds championship Doberman Pinschers. He resides in Middlebury, Connecticut, with his wife, Susan. They are the proud parents of four daughters and were recently promoted to grandparents.

About Randy S. Holmeen

Having dedicated himself to serving as the primary “doctor of financial health” for families and corporate executives for over two decades, Randy S. Holmeen is very passionate about helping those he educates achieve financial happiness and, ultimately, meaning and purpose to their lives. He achieves this through a very hands on, tailored and consultative approach, with a focus on simplifying the complex, hand-holding during times of distress, and consistently teaching regarding the pros and cons of the multitude of changing investment, tax and financial planning decisions we all face every day.

Looking back, Randy recognizes that his senior thesis on behavioral finance at Drew University, where he majored in economics and minored in business management, played a pivotal role in the way he approaches his work today. Randy has integrated his knowledge of how we are wired as humans into a cornerstone of The BHR Group's model. “Social and emotional factors are key to financial decision-making. I’m a firm believer that the better we understand how our emotions impact our decision making, the smarter we can be as investors,” he says.

To that end, The BHR Group strives to simplify the complex so that knowledgeable decisions can be made with each investor’s financial well-being as the focus. Armed with an MBA from the University of Connecticut, Randy developed a vision for running his own practice. Launched in 2007, The BHR Group at Morgan Stanley* has two major areas of focus: current and former corporate executives, 10b5-1 planning, and corporate stock plan services. Outside of work, Randy enjoys family time, triathlons, soccer, golf and travel. He is very active in the local community: Randy serves as the Director for the Geno Auriemma’s Golf Fore the Kids, in support of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. Originally from South Windsor, Connecticut, Randy resides in West Hartford with his wife, Nicole, and two children, Caden and Ivy.

About Peter N. Junggren, Jr.

Peter N. Junggren started his career in 2004 when he was recruited as a Financial Advisor on a corporate stock plan team at UBS. Over his tenure at UBS, Peter cultivated his wealth management clientele while learning the nuances of company stock administration, including, but not limited to, stock options, RSUs, SARs and ESPP plans. It was a great fit. Peter, who majored in psychology at St. Lawrence University, views his work as a Financial Advisor as the perfect marriage of two interests: behavior and finance. “It’s fascinating to me, the psychology behind it all. I have always excelled at mathematics and analytics, so this was a great way to combine the two.”

Once he had identified the right career, Peter set out to find a team to call home. In 2011, Peter joined as a Senior Partner of The BHR Group at Morgan Stanley—another perfect fit. “What I particularly appreciate about The BHR Group is that we all share the same philosophy,” Peter explains. “We don’t want our clients to make decisions based on emotion. Our goal is to educate clients and empower them to make informed decisions that help them achieve their financial goals.”

Peter’s enthusiasm for his work is palpable. He outlines the three things that motivate him to come to the office every day: the diversity and depth of the client base, the detailed analytic approach that wealth management demands, and the art to applying fundamentals of finance to every client’s unique scenario. “No two financial pictures are the same; therefore, no two financial plans should be the same. What drives me day to day is finding that perfectly personalized financial plan that helps achieve all of a client’s goals,” says Peter. Originally from New York, Peter now resides in West Hartford with his wife, Miranda, and two dogs. When not playing tennis in the summer or skiing in the winter, Peter enjoys traveling. He plans to visit 50 countries before his 50th birthday.

About Austin S. Hersh

Opening his first investment account at the age of 16 with money saved from his Bar Mitzvah, Austin has been captivated by the financial markets since a very young age. He had always thought that he would pursue a career in the hedge fund space, however, as he advanced in his college career and then his professional development he realized that he craved a profession where he’d have the opportunity to apply his knowledge and passion for investments and finance, but also directly impact the lives of successful individuals and families. With that deep desire to help, Austin pursued a career in Wealth Management with Morgan Stanley - and looking back today, he could not be more grateful for that decision.

Austin graduated from Bryant University with a Bachelor of Science in Finance and minor in Psychology. There he was an Executive Board Member of the prestigious Archway Investment Fund and led strategy development for the portfolio. He is a member of Morgan Stanley Pacesetter’s Club, a global recognition program for Financial Advisors who demonstrate the highest professional standards and first-class client service. Additionally, in 2023 and 2024 he was named to the Forbes Top Next-Gen Advisors Best-In-State list for Connecticut, which highlights a select group of financial advisors believed to be the future of the industry.

Austin feels that with the rapid advancement in the technology innovation cycle, it is crucial to understand long-term secular trends in the economy and adjust your investment portfolio accordingly. He thoroughly enjoys investment research and engaging with Morgan Stanley’s intellectual capital in search of inspired ideas that can help bolster clients’ investment strategies and position them for long-term financial success.

Aside from his career, Austin is actively involved with The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, with an additional focus on The Dennis Hersh Humanitarian Fund. In honor of his father Dennis G. Hersh, this fund supports Connecticut Children's Medical Center and the CT Humane Society. In addition, Austin is an avid golfer, snowboarder and fond of most sports and athletic actives. Above all else, he values time with family and friends. Austin currently resides in West Hartford, CT, with his wife, Sarah, beloved daughters, Hayley and Demi and their Goldendoodle, Harvey.

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.
