About Sandy Poon-Wing
Named to Forbes Top Women Wealth Advisors & Forbes Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-In-State 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and Working Mother Magazine & SHOOK Research's Top Wealth Advisor Moms ranking for 2020, striving to provide clients with confidence about their financial future is the cornerstone on which Sandy has built her practice. She enjoys meeting with clients and listening to their life goals and concerns, while working hand-in-hand with them on a journey towards achieving their personal financial goals.
Immigrating to the U.S. at the age of eight from Hong Kong, Sandy learned first-hand the importance of being financially independent from her mother, who struggled with her own finances. This experience inspired Sandy to seek a profession to empower her clients, especially women, to be confident in their financial decisions. Through ongoing education and understanding, she helps them achieve the financial freedom to pursue their hopes and dreams and pass on wealth in meaningful ways. Today, she is honored to work with an exceptional group of clients, including those who may need complex concepts explained in Cantonese or Mandarin.
After earning her BBA degree from Bernard Baruch College, Sandy furthered her education while working full time. She achieved her MBA in Finance and International Business from New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business in 1998 and soon joined Smith Barney as an Associate. Six years later, Sandy became a Financial Advisor, and in 2009, she teamed up with Tom Tucker to form The Navigator Group. Sandy earned her Certified Financial PlannerTM designation in 2017, her Senior Portfolio Management Director designation from Morgan Stanley in 2024 and Alternative Investment Director designation from Morgan Stanley in 2023.
Passionate about empowerment through education, Sandy often speaks at association events to provide financial education to their members. She is a Mentor for the iMentor Organization and she also volunteers with a non-profit organization that serves survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.
Sandy lives in Douglaston, Queens. Outside of the office, she enjoys working out and practicing yoga. She is a self-proclaimed foodie and loves to travel globally, having visited many countries in Asia and Europe.

Some of these factors include: the Plan's investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan's flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan's investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state's own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state's tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
