About Jennifer Murray
Jennifer Murray is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), Family Wealth Director and Financial Advisor with The Murray Group at Morgan Stanley.
As a CFP®, Jennifer approaches every financial conversation with a client from a comprehensive point of view. She develops personalized investment strategies for The Murray Group’s clients that are designed to balance risk versus reward, while taking into account a clear understanding of her clients’ risk tolerance comfort levels, goals, and investment timeframe.
A Texas native, Jennifer headed west to attend California State University – Fresno, graduating with a B.S. degree in Business Administration with a specialization in accounting. She and her husband, Eddie, returned to Dallas after graduation where Jennifer pursued her career in public accounting and financial management as a CPA with Arthur Andersen and Price Waterhouse. For almost a decade, she worked as a financial consultant to some of the world’s largest software companies.
In 2002, when Eddie’s father offered to mentor Jennifer and Eddie as Financial Advisors, they jumped at the opportunity to return to California, to join a flourishing financial advisory business and to raise their children in a family-friendly environment. Jennifer joined Morgan Stanley in 2002 and completed the rigorous requirements to attain the CFP® designation from the College of Financial Planning in 2006. In September 2022, Jennifer joined a select group of fewer than 4% of Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors who have completed the Family Wealth Director program. This program provided specialized training and enables her to offer direct access to advanced resources needed to help affluent families address the complex, multigenerational challenges of managing significant wealth.
Today, Jennifer and Eddie run a successful financial planning and management business for their Murray Group clients. In addition to raising their two children, Jennifer is very involved with the Santa Barbara Foundation, serving on committees and as a Board Trustee for the past nine years. She is also a member of the North County Advisory Committee of the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara.
