About Matthew McKenzie
Matt has worked in the investment management profession for 25 years and has been a registered representative for four years; he joined the Morgan Failla Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in 2018. Roughly half of his experience has been in research and analytic roles, and half working directly with clients. In an analytic capacity, Matt developed models for forecasting future asset class performance, using the analyses in asset-liability studies for large institutional investment funds. He also served on numerous firms’ investment policy committees, charged with guiding assets toward attractive, and away from unattractive, market opportunities at various points of a market cycle, and writing of the firms’ thoughts in client communications pieces.
In his client work, Matt uses his insight into the investment markets and a keen appreciation for the unique needs, goals and desires of each and every investor to develop and manage customized investment solutions. “There are nuances in the challenges that investors face, and I enjoy discovering those and putting a strategy in place that addresses those challenges.” Matt sees his own success as a function of his clients’ success when their wealth, retirement and planning goals are achieved through his guidance. He has earned a reputation for a high level of service and deep understanding of his clients, their lives and interests.
Matt earned a B.S. in Business at Indiana University, Bloomington and a M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth, School of Business. Outside of the office, Matt enjoys spending time with his wife, Jennifer, and their four children. He enjoys cycling and golf with his free time.
