The Compass Rose Group at Morgan Stanley
Our Mission Statement
We cut through the noise to help our clients build legacies that last generations
Welcome
The Compass Rose Group is honored and humbled to be included on the following awards lists:
• Barron's Top 1,200 Advisors: Charles Reardon (2009-2024)
• Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors: Charles Reardon (2022-2024) & Jake Tolk (2023 & 2024)
• Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Management Teams for New Mexico (2023-2025)
The blueprint for success has never changed: remain disciplined, remain consistent. In an industry where information is anything but scarce, investors need a reliable team to anticipate conditions, cut through the noise and provide tailored, long-term strategies to help them stay the course. The Compass Rose Group is a local team backed by Morgan Stanley’s world-class resources, managing more than $2 billion in client assets as of January 2025. With over 175 years of combined industry experience, our team is positioned to help clients achieve success across eight practice areas:
• Long-term Financial & Philanthropic Planning
• In-house, Discretionary Portfolio Management
• Tax Management Strategies
• Alternative Investments & Accessing the Private Markets
• Asset & Risk Assessment
• Lending & Cash Management Solutions
• Corporate Retirement Planning
• Business Exit Planning Strategies
Disclosure:
Alternative investments often are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. They may be highly illiquid and can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase the volatility and risk of loss. Alternative Investments typically have higher fees than traditional investments. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Actual results may vary. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you.
