About Howard Shallcross
Howard is a problem-solver and educator. Early in his career, he was a market maker at the NYSE and had a front row seat learning how markets worked and the different events that influenced them. As a Portfolio Manager Director, Howard is able to apply his experience and translate it into providing his clients with a helpful perspective. He enjoys learning about his clients - their lives, their families, and their goals - and believes that education and trust is at the core of their relationships.
Most importantly, Howard listens to his clients. The only way he can provide the best advice is by fully understanding each client and their financial picture and goals, and he wants to make sure his clients are asking the right questions. Howard's clients work with him because he helps to make their financial lives easier, in addition to his knowledge of the markets and investment.
Howard is most proud of his team's dedication to providing his clients with excellent service and a sincere smile. Each member of his team is included, empowered, and considered to be family. As a result, clients are familiar and comfortable with each member on the team.
Howard earned a BS in Finance from Villanova University and his MBA from New York University. He began his career in the financial industry in 1992 and joined Morgan Stanley in 2012.
Howard lives in Holmdel, New Jersey, with his wife and three children. Some of his interests include his vinyl collection and classic HiFi audio system, in addition to his extensive collection of classic rock albums from the 1970s and 1980s.
He also values giving back to his community, spending his time outside of work as an Adjunct Lecturer at Brookdale Community College (in Macro and Micro Economics), the Captain of his local Men's League Hockey Club, the former Recreation Commissioner for the town of Holmdel, and a Board Member for Home For Good Dog Rescue.
