About David K Metz
David has a passion for financial markets that is only exceeded by his passion for helping people achieve their financial aspirations. He began his career at a Morgan Stanley predecessor firm while still in college and joined the firm full-time after graduation. 25 years later, he founded The Metz Wealth Management Group, a team of financial professionals that provides clients with comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management.
Early in his career, David realized that the complexity of today’s financial environment demands a commitment to ongoing vigilance and education. He pursued two industry designations that are among the most challenging to attain in the financial services industry. As a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®), David was able to develop a proprietary methodology for managing client assets. He screens numerous companies for business strength, management acumen and stock valuation to determine which should be considered candidates for client portfolios. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), he goes beyond investing to develop plans that encompass such diverse disciplines as lending solutions, insurance, and estate planning strategies – in short, virtually every aspect of his clients’ financial lives. In addition, David is one of about 5% of Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors (as of Dec. 2024) to have earned the firm’s Family Wealth Director designation, a credential that allows him to provide further insight to high-net-worth clients seeking to transfer wealth to the next generation.
A native Pennsylvanian, David graduated from Dickinson College as a double major in Economics and Policy & Management Studies. He has always been an active member of his community, volunteering with numerous non-profit organizations. Currently, he serves as Board Chair at The Carlisle Arts Learning Center and sits on the boards of the YMCA and Todd Baird Lindsey Devlin Foundation. When not volunteering, monitoring markets and advising clients, David spends as much time as he can with his wife Jennifer and their two children, Katie and Owen.
Also, The Metz Wealth Management Group has been named a Forbes’ Best- In- State Wealth Management Team for 2024. This recognition reflects their exceptional financial planning and investment management services, along with the commitment to excellence in helping clients achieve their financial goals.
