    While investors have more data at their disposal than ever before, making the right investment decision takes more than just crunching numbers. Investors must also understand the psychology of the market—as well as their own impulses—to help sharpen their rational decision-making process. This is especially during periods of market volatility, when emotions often get in the way.

Meeting Complex Family Needs

Just as a business owner has a thorough knowledge of a company’s opportunities, risks, capital structure and financial objectives, the Jarret Group begins by developing a similar understanding of you and your family. We translate this knowledge into strategy and process and work with you to help manage not only your investments but also your balance sheet and liquidity needs. The global resources of Morgan Stanley and coordination with outside advisors will likely include specialists in areas such as risk management, customized liquidity strategies and income and estate taxation.

The Jarrett Group will work with you and your family to develop a comprehensive plan that incorporates issues of family dynamics, wealth transfer, asset protection strategies, and location and business succession planning.
The focus will be on helping you:
  • Maintain family unity across generations
  • Easing administration burdens by managing some of the most complex aspects of your life
  • Protect your assets and transfer them efficiently to the next generation and the causes and institutions you support
  • Develop strategies that pass down family values as well as family assets
  • Access specialized ultra-high net worth resources and strategies tailored specifically to your needs and goals
