Our Mission Statement
We collaborate with families to build wealth to help meet future needs, address current goals, and build a legacy
CUTTING-EDGE GUIDANCE WITH CARING SERVICE
For more than 60 years the Livingston Key Group at Morgan Stanley, has been dedicated to forming and sustaining relationships with our clients that are both collaborative and successful.
We do this by following a recipe of cutting-edge financial planning and wealth management coupled with classic personalized and caring service. This simultaneously forward-looking and traditional formula has enabled our group’s clients and their families to thrive through every sort of market, while receiving focused attention. We believe this is the perfect method for our clients’ potential future success as well: boutique like-style service combined with the global resources of Morgan Stanley.
Comprehensive, holistic and bespoke financial planning is at the core of our package of services. Portfolio management is vital, and we’re proud of our track record, but so is asset and cash management, retirement and education planning, insurance coverage analysis, and estate and philanthropic organization.
We tailor our approach not just to your unique goals and needs, but also to how you prefer to work with your advisor. Clients are welcome to walk in to our offices to take care of an immediate need, schedule an in-person meeting, work with us remotely using our state of the art online and communications systems, or to use whatever combination of in-person and remote meetings are most convenient.
Whether you’re a retired executive reviewing their portfolio at a meeting in our office, or an active professional or business owner who’s reviewing college financing options for their child with us via Zoom, our primary goal is the same: to help you meet your objectives by providing guidance that enables your wealth to do more for you.

ALL-INCLUSIVE, COMPLETE APPROACH TO YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE
There’s more to our relationship with you than helping manage your investments. We take pride in our all-inclusive, complete approach to our clients’ financial lives.
When we first meet we discuss not just your current assets, but your business and career status, and your present and future lifestyle hopes. We’ll talk about your dreams for your own future as well as for your entire family’s future.
After our detailed conversations we will work with you to create a comprehensive plan that includes your spending and savings, your real estate holdings, your insurance needs, and your borrowing, as well as your investments.
We will help integrate your needs to fund your own retirement and the education funding of your children. If you’re already retired and your children are grown we can help you achieve your goals of maintaining your lifestyle and leaving a legacy for following generations.

Getting Started
Aladdin—Portfolio Risk Tool
The Portfolio Risk Platform integrates the leading risk analytics engine into Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s platform to improve the quality, transparency, and efficiency of the end-to-end risk management processes we can provide to make your finances more secure.
Portfolio Risk AnalyticsFREEING YOU TO FOCUS ON YOUR WORK AND FAMILY
In these turbulent times, managing an investment portfolio requires not just knowledge and vision but also a great deal of time and attention. Our professional portfolio management can help free you to spend your time focusing on your work and your family. Through in-depth discussions and analysis with you, and drawing on the global resources of Morgan Stanley, we can identify an investment strategy that’s tailored to your requirements for growth, income, or wealth preservation, and your tolerance for risk. As part of our dedication to personalized, attentive service you will have constant direct access to us to discuss your portfolio. And our regularly scheduled meetings will provide opportunities to factor in any and all changes in your plans or life transitions.
Determine financial objectives
As your portfolio manager we collaborate with you to create realistic objectives based on your goals, time horizon, liquidity needs, and tolerance for risk.
Outline investment strategy
Once we have together established objectives we will design a portfolio to help generate potential returns that are consistent with your desired level of risk and volatility.
Appraise and choose investments
Using the global resources of Morgan Stanley we will help you select investments that can help meet your objectives and strategy.
Conduct ongoing reviews
We will actively track how well your portfolio is meeting your objectives and modify it as the market changes and your family’s needs evolve.
DEVELOPING, APPLYING AND TRACKING A CUSTOM PLAN
Every client’s family dynamics, goals, and risk tolerance are unique. And every life is filled with planned and unplanned changes and transitions, from the inspiring—parenthood—to the distressing—illness. That is why we developed a process that can help
Step 1

About Catherine Bowen Daniel
Financial planning is in Catherine Bowen Daniel’s blood…literally. She is the third generation of her family dedicated to helping individuals and families make the most of their money. The Livingston Key Group at Morgan Stanley can trace its history to Catherine’s grandmother who started the practice in the 1960s, and through her parents, who joined the team in the 1980s.
A graduate of the University of Michigan with a degree in economics, Catherine joined Barclays in New York City and spent three years working in equity research. She enjoyed the analytical process but realized she preferred working directly with people. Catherine returned to her Livingston County roots and joined the family’s team in 2013. Since then, she has succeeded in helping clients reach their goals and feel comfortable with their finances.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Catherine has the training and experience to offer advice on a wide range of personal financial issues, including saving and investing, insurance, estate planning and retirement. She is also a Certified Investment Management Analyst®, which means she has additional insight and experience in risk assessment and portfolio management as well as business financial issues.
Catherine enjoys working from Sarasota, Florida where she lives with her three young children and husband, Eitan. She regularly travels back to Howell to meet with clients.

About Nicole Domitrovich
Teaching is a calling for Nicole Domitrovich. From helping clients understand their options for retirement and education planning, to explaining the elements that go into a sound estate plan, Nicole derives her greatest work satisfaction from helping clients fully understand their finances in order to achieve their goals.
Nicole graduated Ball State University with a degree in education. She began her career in finance as a Registered Representative first for Charles Schwab and then for Scottrade. She joined Morgan Stanley in 2013 as a Registered Customer Service Representative later transitioning to Training Specialist, combining her teaching background and financial expertise. In 2018, Nicole joined the Livingston Key Group as a Financial Advisor, earning her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in 2021.
Helping clients craft and maintain a comprehensive financial plan is central to Nicole’s approach. Beginning with an analysis of income and assets, current expenses, insurance coverage and savings for retirement and education funding, she focuses on ensuring that each client’s approach to risk is appropriate for where they are in life, their needs, and their goals. With the basics in place, Nicole then helps manage client investment portfolios and allocations.
Her family, husband Lucas, preschool-age twins and focused work with clients keep Nicole busy, but she still makes time to bring her financial education mission to the community. For example, she recently launched a successful Teen Finance 101 program at the Howell Recreation Center teaching basic financial literacy to young people in the area.

About Nancy Gravelle
As the team’s Portfolio Associate, Nancy Gravelle has been handling money movements, account openings, and reporting for the Livingston Key Group’s clients for more than 25 years. She loves that so many clients still visit the office in person, not just for help with their finances, but sometimes just to say hello and share news. It’s that small town feeling that is one of the things that attracted Nancy to the area when she first came on visits to her grandparent’s cottage.
After 40 years of marriage and raising three children, Nancy is now able to spend more time working on her expansive flower garden, kayaking, and bike riding.
