About Rocco Vernisi
Making money is hard, but preserving that wealth and maximizing its growth and income can be even harder. As your financial success increases, so does the complexity of managing it. Having a game plan and a professional to help quarterback that game plan for you and your family can simplify your financial life and free you to focus on what you do best.
I work with successful individuals and families who need someone to quarterback their financial lives and help protect the future they are building. The centerpiece of my client relationships is a detailed financial plan that explores every aspect of your financial life in the context of your needs, wants, wishes and goals. I believe financial planning is critical to producing the customized game plan your family needs to preserve, grow and protect your wealth.
As your financial quarterback, I work diligently to ensure the game plan we create together is in line with your goals and values. My years as an NCAA Division I quarterback have given me the foundation of discipline needed to execute your game plan, while always keeping my eye on the ball and the big picture. I combined my knowledge and experience with the planning tools, research, cash management solutions and alternative investment platform of one of the world’s leading financial firms to create your customized plan and bring it to life. Together, we will seek to maximize investment opportunities using all the tools Morgan Stanley has at its disposal.
