Our Mission Statement
The McEwan Group at Morgan Stanley is ranked by Forbes as one of the Top Wealth Management Teams in the country for 2024. Scott McEwan has also been awarded many individual industry awards, including being ranked #6 on Financial Planning 2024 Top 40 Brokers Under 40, Forbes 2018-2024 Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, Barron’s 2022-2024 Top 1,200 Financial Advisors, named #1 on Forbes 2023 Top Next Generational Wealth Advisors Best-In-State, and more.
Our Story and Services
We are proud of the practice we’ve built over the years. Currently (as of September 2023), we manage:
• Approximately $1.5 billion in private wealth for individual clients
• More than $4.5 billion for institutions, including healthcare organizations, endowments and non-profits
• Nearly $400 million for offshore captive insurance companies
Through years of advising these clients, we have learned something that might not be readily apparent.
Ultra-high net worth individuals and the successful institutions they often represent have much in common.
Both have specific financial goals. An individual might be concerned about exiting a business, maximizing equity compensation or leaving a meaningful legacy without excessive taxation or family conflict. An endowment has a mission to accomplish that must be matched or exceeded by donations and investment returns. A corporation might be overwhelmed by complex fiduciary and investment responsibilities that their financial committee may or may not be prepared to assume.
For all these clients, The McEwan Group at Morgan Stanley has served as a source of knowledgeable guidance for almost 20 years. Our team is different from other Financial Advisor groups you may have encountered in the past. We focus on ultra-high net worth individual clients and the corporations and not-for-profits for which they bear weighty responsibilities.
Our efforts are enhanced immeasurably by the vast resources of Morgan Stanley and specifically, the firm’s Outsourced Chief Investment Office (OCIO). This multi-discipline team of New York-based professionals acts as an extension of our team and allows us to leverage experienced investment professionals who manage portfolios and help you reduce risk, increase liquidity and decrease cost.
Scott McEwan, the founder of The McEwan Group, is one of the relatively few Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors to have earned the firm’s Family Wealth Director designation, as well as such other impressive credentials as Corporate Retirement Director, Alternative Investment Director, and Certified Financial Planner (CFP®). He and the team that bears his name are committed to helping you simplify the complexities that invariably accompany substantial personal wealth and institutional finances.

15The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
16Participating in a new issue/syndicate is subject to availability. IPOs are highly speculative and may not be appropriate for all investors because they lack a stock-trading history and usually involve smaller and newer companies that tend to have limited operating histories, less-experienced management teams, and fewer products or customers. Also, the offering price of an IPO reflects a negotiated estimate as to the value of the company, which may bear little relationship to the trading price of the securities, and it is not uncommon for the closing price of the shares shortly after the IPO to be well above or below the offering price.
