Our Story
The Cornerstone Group at Morgan Stanley advises a select number of clients; we develop customized strategies to help meet their long term investment objectives. Our team has experience in a wide range of complex wealth management strategies and techniques. Our goal is to thoroughly understand your financial needs and then align the resources to help you meet or exceed them.

Check the background of Our Firm and Investment Professionals on FINRA's BrokerCheck.*
At Morgan Stanley, we believe that identifying potential solutions begins with a solid understanding of each situation, goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. We follow a disciplined process that allows us to work with you to develop a strategy that can help meet your individual financial needs:
Introduction & Getting To Know You
Our initial conversation is built around getting to know everything about your family, goals, lifestyle and hobbies. We will then work together to identify your financial strengths and weaknesses by discussing your current investment portfolio, savings, habits and overall beliefs when it comes to the financial markets. This will allow us to custom tailor a strategy for you and your family.
Delivering Recommendations
The next part of the process is delivering and discussing the most important aspects of your financial picture. This includes discussing tax-efficiency/capital gains, portfolio risk as well as financial & estate planning strategies. Depending on what stage of life you are in we will also discuss education planning, tax-efficient withdrawals/planning for required minimum distributions, and best practices when preparing for retirement. Last but not least we will help optimize your ongoing cash & liability management strategy.
Implementation, Monitoring & Accountability
This is arguably one of the most important parts of the process because it requires action from both you and our team. The recommendations above will need to be implemented both internally here at Morgan Stanley, but more importantly by you making the necessary changes in order to implement the plan discussed above. In order to ensure that the plan is implemented we will meet periodically throughout the year to update your plan and discuss your progress. Client service and communication is paramount, therefore we make ourselves available for clients as needed.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
