Our Mission Statement
Helping you with wealth planning strategies for your life and legacy
Our Story
We believe that managing wealth involves far more than managing an investment portfolio. It begins with developing a holistic, comprehensive understanding of who you are and the financial forces at work in your life. It means helping you understand and respond effectively to these forces. And, of course, it means helping you invest your assets in a way that reflects the realities of your life and the uniqueness of your long term goals.As Financial Advisors, we are committed to building a relationship of trust in which we can work closely with you to help you define your objectives, explore alternatives and choose the financial and investment strategies that are most appropriate for you. As our relationship evolves, we hope you will come to regard us as a valued resource and professionals who can help you make a more informed decision on any financial issue. Our most important goal: to help you achieve your objectives, providing guidance that helps your wealth do more for you.

About Jack Hartmann
Jack Hartmann is a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. He joined the firm in February 2012. His practice is focused on constructing comprehensive wealth building plans for families and individuals. Jack’s extensive experience working with Alaska Native Corporations has given him deep insight into the specific challenges they and their shareholders face, and he is humbled to put the knowledge he has gained to work for his clients.
Jack’s decision to pursue a career in finance was largely influenced by his father who was also a successful financial advisor. Raised at an early age to read and understand financial literature, Jack developed a keen interest in the business. He expanded his knowledge by attending George Fox University where he received an Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration and Azusa Pacific University graduating with a Master of Arts in Management.
Building deep and long lasting relationships is one of Jack’s most deeply held values. He utilizes Morgan Stanley’s technology platform and vast resources including education and estate planning, trust service, and insurance to meet his clients’ needs.
Jack is a member of Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. An avid fitness enthusiast who competed in Track and Field while attending college, he can be found at the gym or enjoying the Alaskan outdoors hiking, hunting and fishing. He is married to Makenna Hartmann and they've recently had a baby daughter. The couple lives in Anchorage with their Miniature Schnauzer Millie.
