Industry Award WinnerOur Mission Statement
Finding the right path for you means learning your story. Our process is customized to each client, built on trust and experience.
Client Service Model
While it is vitally important that we act as faithful stewards of our client’s wealth, in the end, money is often a tool used to arrive at a desired outcome – a lifestyle, travel, gifting, or maybe a philanthropic or family legacy. Among our most important tasks is understanding what the client wishes the money to do for them.
When you work hard to understand the client, fulfilling their needs and helping to achieve their goals becomes personal. It takes time to do it right. In that time, we earn their trust and often times, friendship.
The financial management tools we use and the resources we access are important; they allow us to do a better job for our clients. By coupling our team of highly skilled and talented professionals with Morgan Stanley’s exceptionally deep resources and unique capabilities, we can offer our clients the full range of products and services needed to help protect and enhance wealth, create a meaningful legacy, and enjoy the lifestyle they envision. With a fully open architecture, we can explore any opportunity that we believe is best suited to helping our clients achieve their goals.

Implementation
Drawing on the extensive resources of Morgan Stanley and our own experience, we conduct exhaustive due diligence to select and recommend the investments we believe are best suited to handling the various parts of your asset allocation.

We are open architecture and use a mix of custom tailored active/passive, cost effective and tax efficient investments that suit your needs and objectives.

10Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact 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.
