The Chasin Group at Morgan Stanley

Our Mission Statement
Our Story and Services
Institutional Intelligence. Private Wealth Perspective.
Founded in 1985, The Chasin Group at Morgan Stanley serves a select clientele of institutions, ultra-high net worth executives, entrepreneurs, multigenerational families. With more than $7 billion in assets under management, we work across Morgan Stanley's Wealth Management, Graystone Consulting, and institutional hedge fund coverage divisions. That trifecta not only positions us at the pinnacle of the firm's capabilities — it also gives us the vision, scale, and precision to help engineer financial strategies designed to endure for generations.
Synergy Drives Our Investment Philosophy
There is a powerful synergy between our institutional consulting and private wealth platforms. Just as institutional clients trust us to manage retirement-critical capital with consistency and care, our private clients benefit from that same performance-vetted approach — grounded in thoughtful asset allocation, risk-managed income generation, and rigorous fund analysis. We will of course selectively pursue opportunistic strategies, but always within a disciplined framework that seeks to protect and grow wealth across market cycles.
Sophisticated Solutions for Complex Lives
Many of our clients hold highly regulated roles in finance, real estate, and corporate leadership — and we understand the constraints that come with those responsibilities. Our deep experience in fund-based strategies offers a compliant solution delivered with the precision and agility of a private family office.
A Powerful Network, Built for Your World
From estate attorneys to tax advisors and real estate professionals, our curated network is an extension of your advisory team. We also offer seamless access to Morgan Stanley's elite investment banking, lending, and family office resources, allowing us to deliver integrated, high-touch service tailored to your world.
