Women and Wealth
With passion, purpose, and a heart of service, we have dedicated the last 20+ years to sharing love and positivity with the world, inspiring greatness, and helping women navigate life's transitions to ensure women have the opportunity to plan for a Dynamic Life.
Transitions are inevitable. At times they are blessings - a celebration of a new love, the arrival of a new baby, a milestone birthday party. Other times, they can be devastating - the loss of a job or a failed business venture, enduring a painful divorce, or the death of a loved one. Navigating through life's moments can be scary and uncertain.
We have the knowledge and wisdom to help you make the right financial decisions. We are women, daughters, mothers, wives, and divorcees. Because of this, we have compassion. We will walk with you on your journey, hand in hand and judgement free. Together, we will potentially activate your personal greatness going forward.
Women and Wealth Resources
Women often have a more holistic vision for success and define it in very personal terms. In our experience, women investors often look beyond just meeting a performance benchmark and often want to align their financial goals with their personal and social priorities. Read below for more information on the resources available to you!
Women and Personalized Client Experience
There's no doubt about it — women face a unique set of financial challenges. That is why we are committed to empowering women with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve your goals: whether you're buying a home, starting a family, navigating a divorce, caring for a loved one, or giving back to a cause you care about. Read below for more information on the personalized client experience offered through Morgan Stanley's Women and Wealth.
Women and Investing
Strategies for helping women make well-informed decisions toward finding their balance among their personal, professional, financial and philanthropic goals. Read below for more information on what could be useful in your financial journey.
Women and Wealth Planning
Generally, financial life stages fall into three categories: wealth accumulation, preservation, and distribution. An individual's needs change through those stages of life. By understanding your savings, investment, and banking options, you will be better equipped to meet your money goals and needs during each stage.
Women and Philanthropy
Become the Change You Wish to See in the World. Women often play key roles in educating and influencing family members to give; their philanthropic influence may extend far beyond their individual charitable efforts. Help women explore effective philanthropic strategies for maximizing impact.
Women and Us
In 2013, Sara Co-founded Women at Morgan Stanley or W@MS. Shortly thereafter, Mary leaned in,establishing the Bellevue W@MS chapter. Helping women find a safe place within their finances continues to be one of our main goals. In order to better gear our team in this direction we recently changed our name. Read below for a bit of our background and how The Darling Group at Morgan Stanley got our name!
Aligning Your Investments with Your Values
A Darling FACT: Hiring more Women can help a stocks performance and have IMPACT.
Morgan Stanley analysis of annualized performance from 2011 to 2022 found that stocks of companies that employ higher gender diversity outperformed less-diverse sector peers in all regions.
Impact Questions to Ask <3 Darling <3:
<3 How do I align my values with my money?
<3 How do I get started in values-based investing?
<3 How do values-based investments perform relative to the broad market?
A financial plan made for you
Our wealth management process begins with you, your investment objectives and your financial goals. Holistic in its approach, it may encompass all the elements of your financial life - your investments and your cash management needs - making sure they align with your goals and wealth management plan.
At Morgan Stanley, we understand that the goals you set today will evolve over time. Your plan will evolve with them - and with the changing circumstances of your life.
Leveraging a sophisticated suite of analytic tools, as well as the extensive resources of Morgan Stanley, we can help you take charge of your financial future an achieve your goals. Below, we have provided some links that will introduce you to a few of the tools that we use, please click to learn more about them. We hope that you will return often to learn more about topics impacting your wealth.
LifeView - Intelligent Planning
LifeView is a suite of planning tools that includes goal-specific analysis that we can use with our clients to create a realistic, integrated strategy that incorporates the various aspects of an individual's financial life, including investments and cash management needs. Fill out the questionnaire to get started talking with us about creating a personalized strategy for your long-term goals.
Goals Planning System
Goals Planning System (GPS) is Morgan Stanley's own integrated planning tool. Built on the Firm's intellectual capital and capabilities, GPS is an intuitive and efficient platform used to quickly assess whether a client is "On Track" to achieving their financial goals.
Aladdin - Intelligent Risk Management
There's a chance your portfolio may be at risk, but how you manage that risk is what matters.
Portfolio Risk Platform – Powered by Aladdin is a risk management platform that provides comprehensive risk estimation and reporting across a broad range of asset classes and security types. This platform provides both an overview and a detailed view to better enable risk to be effectively monitored and managed.
Strategy - Intelligent Withdrawals
Building wealth is a means to an end. Taxes can eat up a significant portion of your assets upon withdrawal. This is why it's vital to look at your entire portfolio and coordinate liquidation to help reduce the impact of taxes and potentially improve investment results.
The decisions your make today can help you save for years to come. Use the resources found in the link below to help get started.
Spending and Budgeting Tool
One way to manage savings is by using Morgan Stanley's Spending and Budgeting tool. These tools help advisors monitor client cash flows across both internal and external accounts. It also tracks spending patterns and produces an income and expense analysis to help clients achieve their goals by adjusting their spending behavior when necessary.
CashPlus Brokerage Account
The Morgan Stanley CashPlus Brokerage Account is designed as a modern alternative to banking for clients' cash management needs, providing their entire family with more value, more protection and a seamless digital experience.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
