Welcome
The Journey Group is a diligently assembled team of investment and wealth management professionals. We collectively have the requisite vital skills, knowledge and experience to provide a full spectrum of customized strategies to help meet the specialized needs of institutions and affluent families.
We believe every journey begins with a plan and a financial one is no different. We focus on developing plans for our clients that we continuously monitor for achievability and risk mitigation. Risks could be as common as a market downturn or more serious like a loss of health or employment.

Investing and managing portfolios is both an art (human element) and a science. Morgan Stanley has a best-in-class investment platform tied to first class digital tools. The combination is powerful in allowing us to deliver industry leading financial services. Our open access investment platform allows us to tailor portfolios to the client, utilizing publicly traded securities, real estate or private investments, with the aim of achieving our clients’ goals or objectives with the least amount of risk.

Wealth Management
Wealth management brings all the dimensions of your life together. We listen carefully to understand the connections across your personal life, your family, your career, and your legacy goals to develop an integrated strategy that is uniquely yours.
Financial Planning
The cornerstone of an effective wealth management plan is comprehensive financial planning, which captures your goals, resources and expectations for the future.

Estate planning is the process of making arrangements to pass down wealth and assets after a person’s death. Proper estate planning gives careful consideration to the estate owner’s future plans, preferences and goals. The tax implications of the plan should also be thoroughly documented.

About Allan J. Klenke
Allan Klenke brought his team to Morgan Stanley in August 2020, after 28 years with UBS. Their focus is to serve corporations and their employees in the equity compensation segment. As a partner of The Austin Silicon Hills Group, Allan’s primary responsibilities include overall team strategy and working with key corporate and individual clients.
He started in the industry after earning a BA in Business from the University of Kansas and an MBA in Finance from the University of Notre Dame in 1990. He developed the business serving clients of major corporations. For three years, Allan turned his focus to the UBS home office product area and took on responsibilities of branch management. He returned to the team with new skills from that experience. Allan then sought the Senior Portfolio Manager designation, which was awarded in 2010. The team was then able to focus on portfolio construction for ultra-high net worth executives. Allan was named to Financial Times 400 Top Financial Advisers in March 2018.
Allan serves on the board of Paradisus Dei, a faith-based non-profit that works to strengthen marriages and families and runs a men’s program, That Man is You!, which has over 25,000 active participants across the country each week.
For leisure, Allan enjoys running, golf, and snow skiing, when he can get
away. He and his brothers own a ranch near Columbus, Texas, where they have planted a vineyard and enjoy gathering the entire Klenke clan.

About Timothy L. O'Connor
Timothy O’Connor has been in wealth management since 1992 and currently heads up Portfolio Management and Client Engagement with The Austin Silicon Hills Group. He earned a Bachelor of Science from University of Notre Dame in 1986 – he actually started out in Pre-med - and an MBA in Finance from University of Texas at Austin in 1988.
Tim’s first job was with MONY Financial Services, which was limited to offering insurance and annuity products, but it sparked his interest and began a foundation in estate planning. Tim has found that working with a team of talented and committed people allows the individuals to develop the skills and knowledge that benefit the group and complements aptitudes that make our work life more enjoyable. Our team has found a niche delivering personalized advice and wealth management acumen to corporate stock benefit plan participants and executives. We have a depth of knowledge on tax management and strategies to help handle concentrated positions. Tailored financial planning is the keystone to delivering personalized investment strategies that help our clients meet liquidity needs, address the challenge of longevity, and consider the legacy they will leave to the next generation and their community.
Tim is a 3rd generation Houstonian. He is happiest with his wife of 27 years, Kari, who is a life-long teacher and now director of the pre-school that their daughter, Caroline, attended. Caroline is now a pre-med student at TCU. Tim and Kari are regular church members and enjoy supporting a food fair outreach project. Tim is a fan of the Rockets and of course the Irish. Go Irish!
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers insurance products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.
