Our Story
At the Dallas Consulting Group at Morgan Stanley, we are anything but your typical wealth management team.
Our engagement with a client often begins coincident with their sudden duty to manage the largest pool of assets with which they have ever been entrusted. Other times, they have realized that their unique circumstances have gradually outgrown their current advisor’s knowledge and capabilities.
Our process goes far beyond commonplace, retail-oriented models and tools. We seek to align our client’s income and cash flows using a process inspired by institutional methodologies, while reducing the impact of daily market forces on income generation. Alternative investments are used to reduce dependence on equity market and interest rate direction. Tax-efficient portfolio implementation is also an area of unique focus for our team. Proactive communication and collaboration with a client’s tax and legal advisors promotes clarity and synergy. We custom tailor the extraordinary resources of Morgan Stanley to meet the needs and goals of every client relationship.
Alongside overall wealth management, our keen focus on working with corporate executives allows us to provide differentiated advice around managing restricted stock and stock option awards. We seek to manage risk and tax implications within the context of a client’s total wealth management picture, while also taking into account the client’s expectations for their corporate stock. Finally, we carefully consider other factors, such as minimum holding requirements and insider trading compliance.
Our team understands that every pool of assets we manage has a mission. We seek to make a meaningful, positive difference to the well-being of our clients. Corporate executives, family stewards, foundation and endowment trustees, and retirement plan fiduciaries - both in the Dallas area and nationwide - have turned to our team for over 25 years. We know that your primary responsibility is the prudent stewardship of the assets under your control, and we are honored to share that responsibility with you.

Jeff Holzbach - Senior Equity Planner
For 26 years, I have worked to guide families and companies with equity awards and financial planning. Analytics and a holistic education and discovery process enable me to identify and prioritize key considerations to help my clients make effective financial decisions.
After graduating from Duquesne University (Pittsburgh) in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance , I moved to Indianapolis IN to work for Charles Schwab. At Schwab, I grew in my role to eventually lead our Financial Planning division and earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in 2003. In addition, I have worked the past 10 years to develop knowledge and skills to help families and companies with equity award analysis and planning. This includes earning the Certified Equity Professional (CEP) designation in 2019. In 2021, I joined Morgan Stanley to support initiatives to enhance the depth and breadth of education and planning capabilities related to equity awards.
Outside of work, I have been married for 23 years and have two children. My time is spent finding ever smaller windows of time with my kids. My son is a Sophomore in college studying economics, and my daughter is a Senior in high school with a focus in the area of STEM. I enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and fishing.

Equity Compensation Planning
For many, equity in their company is an important piece of their full financial picture and since everyone's situation is unique, we can help create a plan that caters specifically to your needs and goals. As Dedicated Equity Plan Specialists we are financial advisors who focus on company specific plans to serve our clients' needs.
Being designated advisors, we can help you determine how your equity compensation fits into your overall goals and financial strategy, through personalized financial plans and tailored strategies. We are positioned to service and educate on the full suite of workplace benefits and can help you address questions related to grants/awards, vesting events, restricted stock units, and more.

Equity Compensation 101
When you own company equity, you become a shareholder in your company. Equity programs vary widely, so it's important to understand the details and how it fits into your financial plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP)
An Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) is an optional benefit some companies offer. Through payroll deductions, employees may be able to purchase company stock at a discount to the current market price.
Restricted Stock Units (RSU)
RSUs are usually given to reward employees for their hard work, giving ownership in the company they're helping grow. RSU is a promise to deliver stock to the holder on a specified event or date.
Stock Options
Stock Options give employees the right – but not the obligation – to purchase shares at a fixed price. If the value of the stock increased over time, the holder can earn a profit. The two types of stock options, Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non–Qualified Stock Options (NQSOs), differ in their tax treatment.
Concentrated Stock Solutions Brochure
The Concentrated Stock Solutions brochure outlines key considerations for executives and employees whose equity compensation creates meaningful single stock exposure—including diversification, tax efficiency and risk management themes—and provides an overview of approaches that may be used to help align concentrated equity with broader objectives as circumstances and timelines evolve.
Concentrated Stock Solutions BrochureFinding a Solution Unique to Your Needs
At Morgan Stanley, we have a vast array of solutions available to our clients – but we ensure our approach is tailored to each client's specific needs. We partner with you to deliver personalized solutions that are in line with your financial goals.
Financial Planning

17Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
