Helping Achieve Your Goals

Thoughtful and thorough in its approach, our planning process aims to incorporate virtually all the elements of your financial and personal life, making sure they align with your current goals and your tailored wealth management plan.
Introduction
We begin with an informal discussion to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we’ll schedule our next meeting and forward you a comprehensive questionnaire that helps us collect important information about your finances.
Discovery
We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the document you’ve filled out and define your priorities.
Analysis
In this step, we study your situation to recommend the best possible strategy to help achieve your short- and long-term goals. We utilize a variety of planning and risk analysis tools to identify appropriate solutions before formalizing a plan that is uniquely yours.
Plan Presentation
Here, we present your plan in detail. Your plan will include personalized strategies aimed at reducing risk, minimizing taxes, and achieving your estate planning goals. Based on our discussions, we will revise your plan accordingly. We will then prepare and present appropriate asset allocation and investment recommendations for your review and approval.
Implementation
As your assets begin to transfer to Morgan Stanley, we initiate the disciplined process of implementing your plan. We collaborate with your CPA and estate attorney to help ensure a cohesive execution. We believe in full transparency and will keep you involved each step of the way.
Ongoing Service & Care
We oversee your progress through ongoing calls and meetings, based on a communication strategy that works best for you. We may recommend adjustments over time, due to changing market conditions or changes in your personal circumstances, striving to keep you on track towards achieving your goals.

About Laney Bryan
A Vice President, Financial Advisor, and founding partner of The Merriwood Group, Laney has dedicated her longstanding career to serving the unique needs of individuals and families who have accumulated a higher level of wealth. She leads many of the team’s investment activities, with an emphasis on asset allocation and risk analysis. Laney empowers clients to think more strategically, leveraging their current assets to help achieve new levels of success.
A lifelong resident of Georgia, Laney always had an interest in finance and enjoyed helping others. Pursuing a career in financial services was the perfect opportunity to bring these two passions together. Her mother, a dedicated schoolteacher, and her maternal grandfather, a former marine who enjoyed a long career in mergers and acquisitions after leaving the service, both supported her in following her dream. In fact, it was her grandfather who encouraged her to take an internship with A.G. Edwards, while she was earning her Finance degree at Georgia Southern University. This led to a full-time opportunity after graduation to join the firm’s advisory training program. Today, nearly 30 years later, Laney remains committed to helping others make their dreams come true, as she continues to live hers.
With Laney’s extensive investment experience, she has developed a strong understanding of economics and is well versed in the equity and fixed income markets. Over the years, she has cultivated distinct and insightful skills in portfolio construction and investment selection. Laney believes the most important aspect of investing is understanding each client’s goals and tolerance for risk. Once this is well understood, she works diligently to select investments commensurate with a client’s personal risk profile and specific short- and long-term goals.
Laney now calls Atlanta her home, where she lives with her husband, Dan, along with her son and three daughters. Like many of her clients, she balances both personal and professional responsibilities, while taking care of her family. She is a member of Morgan Stanley’s Diversity and Inclusion Board and the North Atlanta Lacrosse Board. Laney was also a “Distinguished Clown” with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. In her free time, Laney enjoys supporting her children’s many sports games and activities. She also likes to travel, bike, hike, and play Alta tennis.
