Our Mission Statement
The Frankel Group redefines financial relationships with family-centric philosophies, providing comprehensive wealth planning strategies for your life and legacy.
Our Story and Services
At The Frankel Group, we believe that family is at the heart of every financial decision. As a father-daughter team within one of the world’s largest wealth management firms, we bring a unique, personal perspective to the complexities of managing wealth—because we are a family helping other families.
We understand that true financial advising goes beyond investments. It’s about helping you identify and pursue goals that reflect your values—whether that means retiring to sail the world, sending grandchildren to college debt-free, or ensuring you never outlive your savings. We listen to your hopes, address your fears, and work to create a plan that brings peace of mind across generations.
Our multi-generational approach provides continuity and perspective across life stages. We work with successful individuals, families, and business owners to help build wealth, preserve it, and pass it on. And because wealth is rarely managed in a vacuum, we also help navigate evolving family dynamics, business transitions, and legacy planning with care and clarity.
As part of Morgan Stanley, we are backed by global resources and deep research. However, it is our close client relationships, personal commitment, and holistic guidance that define us. Whether we are discussing finances or life’s curveballs, we aim to be your primary source of advice—someone you can trust, and someone who truly knows you.
The Frankel Group is more than a team. We are a family helping you build the future you envision—for yourself and for the generations to come.

eAuthorizationWHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
Some people go through life knowing exactly what they want and have a clear plan for how they are going to make it happen.
In our experience, this is the exception rather than the rule.
Much more common is a vague sense that "I want my family to be OK" or "I want to be sure I don't run out of money." These are valid sentiments and form a viable framework for an investment plan, but they are not defined goals.
It is crucial to identify and clearly articulate specific goals, so we can help mitigate you're your investment risk. By defining specific goal, we can invest for the desired return without incurring undue risk.
In each case below, we can estimate a required dollar figure and a proposed timeframe. When that is established, we can look at variations and their impacts.
So what is a specific goal? Here are a few:
- Pay for college for my two children or four grandchildren. What will that cost in the appropriate timeframe?
- Retire from my "real" career at age 60, so I can transition to a less stressful or fun career. How much wealth will be required?
- Have enough money for a major international trip twice a year. How much should we allocate?
- Purchase and maintain a second home. What will that cost up front and on an annual basis?
- Leave a multi-generational legacy for my family. Do you have an estate plan?
- Give a meaningful gift to a charity that means a great deal to me. What do you hope to accomplish?
SOUNDS INVESTING PRINCIPLES VS. HUMAN NATURE
Have your heard the expression "buy low, sell high"? It applied to just about any investment, and savvy investors always look for opportunities where something seems to be selling for less than it's worth. So then why do investors sell of their investments when the market drops? Isn't that the perfect time to BUY, when prices are depressed (i.e., "buy low")? Doesn't it make more sense to either hold on to an investment during a market correction, or even buy stocks during a bull market?
It makes logical sense, and yet, even sophisticated investors rush to dump their stocks when the market goes down (i.e. "sell high"). Why?
Because they are acting on emotion rather than logic. They feat that the market will continue to drop and don’t want to lose any more - even though they know that long-term, they should ignore the standard ups and downs of the market and stay the course.
In fact, while people are supposed to act in their own self-interest and make logical decisions, human beings are much more inclined to act emotionally when it comes to money - that's the core principle behind a school of thought called Behavioral Investing.
The Frankel Group has studied the phenomenon of Behavioral Investing and applied it to my wealth management practice. One of the most important things we do for our clients is provide a logical, systematic response to changing conditions - we provide a guiding hand during the regular market volatility that is almost to certain to occur during any long-range investment cycle.
Emotions are part of being human, and we all respond to them. However, The Frankel Group works with our clients to be sure they don’t make investment decisions, or any financial choice, based on emotions rather than logic.
