About Nicci Clark
Nicci Clark is a Financial Advisor, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager. She joined Morgan Stanley Wealth Management as a Financial Advisor in 2013, and in April 2019 she joined The Omaha Group at Morgan Stanley.
After graduating with a finance degree from the University of Nebraska, Nicci began her career as a captive life insurance agent. She quickly grew frustrated with the pressure to sell insurance solutions when she realized that life insurance was a solution to a narrow set of problems and wanted to have a more comprehensive set of solutions for her clients. That’s when Nicci attended Creighton Law where she studied business law. This validated her concerns that too many people in the industry were solving problems with complex products that were unnecessary in many cases. After graduating from law school, she started a business planning practice, which evolved into an estate planning practice. Working with clients on their individual estate plans gave Nicci an understanding about family dynamics and legacy planning, as well as gave her an opportunity to educate clients about what they should be doing to maximize their earnings and preserve their legacy.
Nicci typically starts her client onboarding process by putting together a comprehensive financial plan. Through this process, she will discover the most about each client, and will overall determine if she is a good fit for them. This gives both parties a roadmap for the future advisor-client relationship and helps her see the clients’ goals through their perspective on the world. Once the relationship is established, she will then schedule regular calls to check in on changes that might impact their financial plans.
In addition to her busy professional career, Nicci has served on numerous non-profit boards. Nicci currently sits on the Nebraska DECA Advisory Board (a high school marketing club). She also chairs the Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation Alumni Scholarship committee, which gave out its first scholarships to Elkhorn students beginning in 2023. Nicci currently holds a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation, a CDFA (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst) designation, and a QPFC (Qualified Plan Financial Consultant) designation.
Nicci currently lives in Papillion, NE with her husband, Chris, who is a retired USAF Colonel, who is currently a contract instructor pilot at Offutt AFB. son, Joel, recently graduated from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and works in Chicago. Their daughter, Courtney, is a music education major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and plays tuba in the Cornhusker Marching Band. In Nicci’s free time she enjoys playing piano, going to Husker events, and traveling.
