Our Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals
Welcome
John, Jeff, and Justin, the primary advisors on the BKF Bridge Group, each have over 30 years experience in the financial services industry and business experience. Our experience and resources are focused on one objective; to help you achieve your financial goals. We accomplish this by creating custom financial plans for retirement, education funding, income or estate planning. We believe that the most effective way to accomplish this is with a personal, confidential meeting to learn about your financial goals. Please feel free to contact us to discuss any questions that you may have.
The BKF Bridge Group at Morgan Stanley is built around the concept of exceptional customer service. This service consists of twelve monthly scheduled client contacts; four of which are quarterly reviews with two being in person. These scheduled meetings demonstrate our commitment to our clients along with our client service associate who is there to help you with any question or issue that may arise.

See What Our Clients Have to Say...
- The BKF Bridge Group. Sounds like a bunch of people who get together to play card games. But its more than that. John Berg—who heads the group—has advised my wife and I for close to 30 years. And now John (and his cohorts Jeff and Justin) provides financial counsel not just to us but also to the two generations that follow us. John Berg was originally recommended to us by our Smith Barney advisor at the time, who was about to retire. Smith Barney became Morgan Stanley, and John Berg advises us to this day. It should be noted that John and his team have access to the same Dow Jones, Wall Street Journal, and Morgan Stanley data as hundreds of advisors. John’s long tenure as our financial counselor, however, is based on another important bit of research: he has come to know my wife and I and our families personally. He talks with us routinely and regularly, most notably when he has no buy/sell recommendations, but just to follow up with us and discuss our portfolio. Having suffered in our early investing years through a seemingly endless cadre of brokers simply looking for the next sale, John Berg is like a breath of fresh air. We can heartily endorse him and his group. -Dennis M.
- I "inherited" John Berg when my former financial advisor retired. It caused me to consider moving my accounts from Morgan Stanley to another firm. After reviewing the performance of my portfolio and discussing with John his proposed approach to managing my accounts going forward, I decided I would "give him a chance". That decision ended up being one of the better investment decisions I have made. His recommendations have been 'tailored' to meet my investment goals-even in 'down markets'. He has made astute suggestions to reallocate funds to meet the goals we have set. I don't always agree with his suggestions, but I'm impressed with the fact that he and his team focus on these goals no matter the market trend. -John M.

Core Capabilities
As your wealth grows, so does its complexities and the resources needed to manage it effectively. We leverage our experience and relationships to deliver strategies tailored to meet all of your needs. We look forward to speaking with you to understand your challenges, so we may map out a strategy to achieve your particular priorities and goals.
Wealth Management
Wealth management brings all the aspects of your life together. We listen carefully to understand the connections across your personal life, your family, your career, and your legacy goals to develop a comprehensive strategy that is uniquely yours.
Estate & Philanthropic Planning Strategies
Delivering an estate to the next generation of wealth or favorite charity requires more attention than is often recognized. We can coordinate with your estate and tax professionals to align your legacy goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designations.
Retirement Planning
Having enough income to comfortably cover all necessary expenses is a key to a successful retirement. Sources of retirement income will vary by client and typically include Social Security, retirement accounts, and/or pension payments, as well as other sources such as investments, rental income, or an inheritance.
Entrepreneur Financial Planning
We can help small business owners to fund their business and manage their finances appropriately. We will assist you in developing a budget, determining your ongoing cash flow needs, and raising capital.
High Net Worth Investing
We can assist with millionaire estate planning and investing strategies, private aviation lending and purchase, and other needs that high net worth investors may have.
Retirement Resources
Our team will work with you to understand what your priorities are and implement a customized strategy for you. Whether it is planning for retirement, saving for retirement, transitioning into retirement, or managing your assets when already in retirement, our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to help you accomplish your personal and financial goal.
Understanding Your Savings Vehicles
When it comes to retirement savings, the most important thing is to get started—after all, time is one of your greatest assets. Although retirement may seem far for some, it is essential to get started on planning for future living expenses, potential education funds, or travel costs. Let us help you educate on ways to grow and preserve your wealth.

Transitioning Into a Retirement Mindset
Most retirement preparations focus on financial planning, but it is equally crucial to look at personal considerations that will help you with easing the fear of the unknown. Given that many people overlook the psychological adjustments of retirement, we can help you understand why it’s important to be emotionally (not just financially) ready for retirement.
Risks to Your Retirement
Once you determine what kind of retiree you want to be, we will work together to take a closer look at the risks that might be standing between you and your retirement goals. No matter how well you save during the accumulation phase, it’s critical to plan how you convert those assets to income. We can help you navigate the challenges that may arise.
Learn More About Planning
Impact of Taxes
The strategies you use when taking out your retirement savings can have a significant impact on how much you’ll pay in taxes and may help you keep more of the returns. Each retiree’s situation is different but establishing a tax management strategy for your investments can help you retain more of your investment returns.
Tax-Efficient StrategiesLegacy & Estate Planning
We believe in educating the next generation of investors. We work with you and your family to provide insight, advice, and educational resources in order to do so. Our team is equipped to handle multigenerational wealth and family finance planning, estate planning, and trust funds.

About John E Berg
I purchased my first stock at the age of 14 and investing has been in my blood ever since. So, in 1986 I became a financial advisor and have been with Morgan Stanley since 1991.
Helping clients achieve their goals as financial markets, solutions, and services continuously increase in complexity is a challenge for any advisor, I believe meeting the needs of investors today requires team work. With that in mind, we formed the BKF Bridge Group at Morgan Stanley. The name Bridge Group is intended to demonstrate our goal to bridge multigenerational relationships. For one family we have had the honor of serving 5 generations.
We are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients by helping them achieve their financial goals. Our dedication to this commitment encompasses working diligently to develop and execute comprehensive tailored financial plans, and investment strategies. Our team has a goal of repeatable, sustainable returns by focusing on the risks of the markets more than the returns. We seek a good decade of returns; not just a good year.
We believe that our clients deserve a talented wealth management team who shares their vision, earns their trust, and delivers high-level service and communication. We endeavor to build long-lasting relationships with our clients and their families.
I have been happily married to my wife Kelly for over 35 years. Together we have successfully raised our two sons Kyle and Zach, now adults and doing very well. Our home is a very busy place, filled with activity largely from our crazy dog Ziggy and frequent presence of our grandson.
