Working With You

Affluence is a blessing but managing it can be a challenge. Striving to preserve your wealth for your family’s future and building a legacy that last generations can be a complex mission. Combining our own experience with the global resources of Morgan Stanley we can create and implement a comprehensive strategy designed to help you address many dimensions of your financial life.
Our Dimensional Process focuses on what matters to you, and our core philosophies regarding your financial lives.

These four steps were developed to help achieve that goal:

    Disclosures:

    Life insurance, disability income insurance, annuities, and long-term care insurance are offered through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC's licensed insurance agency affiliates.

The complexities of affluence

Affluence can often generate more family questions than answers. Issues which once may have been simple money matters can become complex, multi layered situations involving family values, sibling rivalry, parenting styles and generational differences as well as financial choices. And how you answer these questions can potentially impact not just the future of your wealth but the long-term health of your family.

• How much of your wealth do you want your heirs to inherit, and are they prepared intellectually and emotionally to manage it?
• Are your children and grandchildren uncomfortable with the fact of your wealth or its source?
• How should you define fairness when passing wealth to your heirs?
• How can you be sure your wealth can help empower your children rather than inhibits their own ambitions?
• How can you seek to Preserve wealth and unity?

Our team understands the complexities that can come with managing wealth. That is why we focus on being a long-term resource and our Dimensional Process aims to help support you in navigating both the financial and emotional challenges that significant wealth may bring. In the process, we focus on helping you strive to preserve your family unity as well as wealth.

• We can review your existing trust, tax and estate plans to help make sure they reflect your family’s values.
• We can structure and lead family meetings to help you create family mission statements, governance structures and documents.
• We can implement family wealth education plans and help you create strategies to address the needs of a challenged or troubled family member.

    Weighing the business vs the personal
    For the owner of a successful business, many decisions can have personal as well as business implications. We believe our Dimensional Process can help you weigh both elements of your financial life when making decisions.

Our experience, backed by the resources of Morgan Stanley can help address both sides of your wealth equation.
    • How can you sell your business and use the proceeds to finance a new venture or seek to solidify your own future?

    • Alternatively, how can you leverage your business to help fund your retirement while still passing it along to a family member?
    • What can you do if only one of your children wants to continue the business?
    • What if all of your children want to benefit, but none want to take over?

    With so much of your family wealth and legacy tied up with your business it is vital to examine all your options and explore the potential impact on every dimension of your financial life.

Meet The Dimensional Group

About Gary E. Johnston

Gary Johnston’s goal is to keep clients centered between being optimistic or pessimistic about their finances. With more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry Gary has helped multiple generations navigate many different economic cycles. He focuses on supporting clients and their goals through comprehensive wealth management and asset allocation strategies designed to help clients navigate volatility while also seeking to generate income. Gary’s prudence stems from his Alaska roots. He believes comprehensive planning can help clients weather a challenging financial winter.

Gary left Alaska to attend the University of Oregon and has never looked back. He subsequently earned his MBA from Portland State University. Gary began his financial services career with U.S. Bank in 1993. He joined Morgan Stanley in 2009 and founded The Dimensional Group in 2014. Gary and his wife live in Eugene. Much to his chagrin, both his sons are attending Oregon State. When Gary isn’t rooting for the Ducks, he loves to ski and shoot clay.

About David E. Anderson

David Anderson believes affluent families deserve a financial advisory approach that aims to integrate virtually all the elements of their financial lives into a comprehensive holistic plan. That’s why David joined Gary Johnston in founding The Dimensional Group in 2014, merging his own four decades of banking and trust experience with Gary’s capital markets background. Having worked in both the commercial and retail sides of banking, he focuses on helping to provide clients with strategies for both their business and personal needs, as well as the potential impact on subsequent generations.

David began working as a trainee with U.S Bank right out of high school and returned there after earning a degree from Western Oregon University and serving two years with the U.S. Marine Corps. He spent the next 44 years with U.S. Bank in business and consumer lending and management. David joined Morgan Stanley in 2014. He and his wife live in Eugene, and now that their son is away at Oregon State University, they are spending more time traveling and on the golf course.
