A Fresh Look at Your Complete Financial Life

In the cookie-cutter world of financial services, The Huron Group at Morgan Stanley believe it’s time to take a fresh look at what clients can expect from their Financial Advisor. A fresh look at defining your goals. A fresh look at customizing strategies around your specific objectives, time frame and preferences. A fresh look at comprehensive wealth management that includes not just investments but both sides of your personal balance sheet. And a fresh look at the engagement, professionalism and personal service your Financial Advisor provides.

We at The Huron Group of Morgan Stanley believe in functioning as your personal financial coach. Because every financial decision you make affects the ones that follow, our comprehensive strategies include planning, investment management and wide-ranging financial advice and counsel with a personal touch. The Huron Group is committed to helping you make intelligent, thoughtful, strategically driven choices designed to help you reach your goals.

    Take a Fresh Look at Your Financial Life
    At The Huron Group, our goal is to provide each client with possible solutions, informed insight and proactive guidance, so they can live the life they choose. That’s why we want to “take a fresh look” at virtually every aspect of your financial life, from planning to investing and everything in between.

    You’ll experience our distinctive approach with your very first conversation with The Huron Group when we talk about your goals. We work with you to help you (and us) understand what you’d like to do with your life. It’s easy to say, for example, “I’d like to retire comfortably,” and that’s a good start. But to make your vision into an actionable goal, we need to dig deeper and ask, “What would you like to retire to?”

    Once we’ve identified what you want to do, we can estimate the cost. That gives us a target, which leads to a plan. Why not just select investments we think will earn the greatest return? Because investments come with risk. And unnecessary risk could undermine your overall goals. 

    That’s one way The Huron Group at Morgan Stanley “takes a fresh look” at your financial life, but it’s just the beginning. We will apply the same expansive thinking to all our recommendations, whether for investing, inheritance investing, philanthropic and estate planning strategies, education planning, or any other area of wealth management.

Multi-generational planning for you and your family

Some of the most complex wealth management issues revolve around families. Our clients are generally focused on the long-term well being of their families, and want to ensure that their spouse, children and grandchildren are taken care of.

At the Huron Group, we believe in multi-generational planning. For many clients, we work with two or even three generations of a single family. Naturally, the wealth management services and advice we offer to each generation varies with their age and life-stage. But our commitment to every client remains steadfast.
           
Among our services of note for multi-generational clients:

Financial education: ensuring that subsequent generations understand the important concepts of wealth management.
Family dynamics: helping to unite the family around your objectives.
Wealth transfer: planning and executing a strategy that reflects your time frame, tax obligations and multi-generational goals.

Perhaps most important – we provide the same kind of informed, proactive, caring and comprehensive wealth management for your children and grandchildren as we’ve provided to you. It’s a commitment The Huron Group at Morgan Stanley takes very seriously.

11The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.

12Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
