The Manset and Hrabovsky Group at Morgan Stanley

For more than 25 years, Kevin has provided customized advice, investment solutions and other financial services to individuals and families. His area of knowledge includes building globally diversified portfolios with a goal of producing competitive risk-adjusted performance, based on each client’s unique goals.

Kevin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and Personal Financial Planning^® designation from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He joined the Morgan Stanley family in 1997 as a Financial Advisor. In 2013, Kevin was recognized as a Senior Portfolio Manager and earned the accreditation for discretionary Portfolio Management. Like Jacques, he is now among a select few of financial advisors within Morgan Stanley who are qualified to directly manage client assets. This is an important benefit for clients, as it can avoid delays in making timely financial management decisions.

Kevin’s approach to investing is founded on his strong desire to coach and teach. He began coaching soccer while in college, and his passion to coach continues today. He is also actively involved in Junior Achievement, teaching both high school and grammar school students. The opportunity to set goals, share knowledge and watch a team grow is a reward Kevin enjoys deeply. With his clients, he follows the same process: identify and prioritize goals; create an investment strategy to help meet those goals; help clients understand the investments and the risks they contain; and then monitor and adjust the investments as opportunities present themselves or as goals change. Kevin believes this disciplined approach is key to successful wealth planning.

Kevin currently resides in Camarillo with his wife, whom he met while at UCSB. Together, they have two children. In his leisure time, Kevin enjoys basketball, surfing and, of course, soccer.

Jacques has dedicated his 35 year long career to helping clients achieve and maintain their financial independence.

Most importantly, he enjoys educating his clients and helping them understand market risks and cycles.
