Our Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals.
We Provide Solutions
Our highest priority is to protect and grow the wealth you have created, and to help you and your family or organization maintain unity as you pass both assets and values across generations. We accomplish this through our time-tested analysis:
(1) Cash Flow Analysis | Examining how and where investors generate and spend capital over a period of time. Think inflows vs. outflows – are you running a surplus or deficit?
(2) Risk Appetite Analysis | Gauging past investment experience, future market expectations and your mentality toward loss to interpret your appetite for investment risk.
(3) Risk vs Return Analysis | Calculating the potential success of your overall investment objectives. For example, can you get from point A to point B when using the findings from our Cash Flow Analysis and Risk Appetite Analysis? If not, we present the solutions to help you get there.

Where We Fit In
Managing family wealth is like running a company - you need a strategy to help manage assets and mitigate risks. Bridging the gap between private wealth and investment management services, we work with owners and founders striving to accelerate growth and develop robust succession plans. We help manage the entire process by leveraging some of the top research and investment management resources in the industry.
- The difference between incentive and non-qualified stock options, as well as restricted stock awards and units.
Planning for the Unplanned
Events such as death, disability, or retirement of a business owner don't have to mean the end of a successful business. Succession planning can provide for an orderly transition of ownership and business management during lifetime or at death. There are various options for structing and funding buy-sell agreements, key employee needs, and other executive benefits programs.
Transaction of a Lifetime
Creating and growing a successful business is seldom just about money, nor is the decision to exit the business. Whether that exit is through IPO, merger with another company, private sale, or succession within the family, the process is intense, the details are complex, and the decisions are often an unexpected combination of personal and financial needs. Morgan Stanley has been helping business owners like you bring clarity and confidence to what is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Understanding Your Equity Awards
How performance shares work:
Concentrated Stock and Options Analysis
Designed for executives who have significant wealth in stock and options of their company, the Concentrated Stock and Options Analysis illustrates various valuations of holdings as well as hypothetical diversification scenarios.
10b5-1 Plans
As a corporate executive, you may be aware of material non-public information at any time and can also face company-imposed quarterly or specific blackout periods restricting market access to trading your company stock. A 10b5-1 plan is designed to address these issues. By utilizing a 10b5-1 plan, you can gain an affirmative defense against claims of insider trading. Your plan can include tailored trading schedules that coordinates with your personal need for liquidity and your own timing requirements.
Family Office Resources
Morgan Stanley Family Office Resources provides specialized, technical expertise to select clients across a broad range of family wealth management issues. Our core capabilities span three complimentary areas of focus including Governance & Legacy, Wealth Strategies and Signature Access.
Managing Assets & Liabilities
Following a thorough discovery and ongoing review process, we identify the areas in which we can provide a high level of service and analytical financial management framework. This cultivates a personalized and comprehensive wealth strategy that centers on growing your wealth by managing both sides of your balance sheet. Below are the major areas we target when working with investors:
Tactical Portfolio Management
Active investing is at the heart of Bopp Montalvo Group. We believe an overly active trading strategy has inconsistent proof of being neither effective nor prudent while a buy and hold approach to investing can be equally inefficient. Rather we feel a targeted tactical approach to investing, which consists of constant monitoring of the specific investments as well as asset allocation percentage changes, is extremely important. This results in occasional and periodic asset replacement and market navigation with cash.
Tax Management Awareness
It is important to understand how taxes can affect after-tax returns on a basic level. It is widely understood that the realization of gains and payment of taxes will ultimately have an impact on the ending value of the investment portfolio, but by how much? Tax-Efficiency and Active Tax-Loss Harvesting are prominent strategies targeted at minimizing these costs. This can be accomplished through proper asset allocation, calculated liquidation strategies across various holdings, tactical distributions and many more insights.
Cash Flow & Risk Analysis
Budgeting can be the simplest of tasks and helps create a foundation in financial management, but often gets forgotten. Start with a focus on inflows vs. outflows. Specifically, what are the planned contributions and distributions? By identifying the cash flows, your forecasted risk can be prudently determined. Forecasted risk is a combination of calculated risk and behavioral risk which pinpoints an appropriate framework for asset allocation and behavioral finance tendencies. These pillars will help you keep short-term and long-term objectives equally in the limelight.
Debt & Cash Management
We are advocates of open architecture strategies because of the benefits they can provide for the longevity of your assets. When paired with our tactical portfolio management, resourceful and flexible private banking solutions can improve the positioning across your accounts and, ultimately, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of compounded growth of the overall portfolio.
Strategic Financial & Legacy Planning
Applying sophisticated analytical tools, models and applications, we are able to produce quantitative analysis of complex situations and scenarios. This helps quantify the implications of taking various courses of action, helping you make clear and informed decisions and ultimately solving the complex financial planning challenges you and your legacy can face. We work with you and your attorneys to help ensure your estate plan is aligned with your values and your aspirations for the next generation.
Charitable Giving
Collaborating with your legal and tax advisors, we can help integrate charitable giving or philanthropy into your wealth plan so you may enhance the impact within your community and organizations. We are there at each stage to better define your mission and values as we create a sustainable and effective charitable or philanthropic strategy throughout your life.
Family Governance and Wealth Education
We strive to maximize family wealth education, making it more likely that all members of your family will have the foundation they need to lead meaningful, fulfilled and engaged lives. This includes the dynamics of intergenerational wealth transfer and, when needed, providing personalized wealth education to prepare younger generations to be stewards of the wealth they will inherit. Please view our “Commitment to Education” Section
Business Succession
Exiting your company in a way that supports your financial objectives, preserves business value and positions your wealth to potentially achieve your legacy and multigeneration goals takes careful planning that begins years and many months in advance. We assist at each stage of the process, helping you map and illustrate issues against your current timeline, all while working with your outside advisors to help ensure that you are properly positioned to help minimize taxes from the transaction.

8Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact 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.

8Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact 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.
