Our Story

The One Eleven Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley came together as a team over twenty years ago with a shared vision of how best to serve clients. The core of our original team has been at Morgan Stanley and its predecessor firms for over twenty-five years. The name on the door may have changed over the years but not our commitment to our clients.

We provide integrated investment and planning advice to high-net-worth families in a collaborative relationship utilizing the vast resources of Morgan Stanley, a global financial services leader.

As life evolves and wealth is accumulated, financial strategies become more complex, and options for implementing these strategies increase. Evaluating these options and choosing wisely among them requires the time and expertise of dedicated financial professionals.

We have the expertise and experience to develop and implement a plan that will help you achieve, and protect, your personal and financial goals.

Our team based approach, combined with Morgan Stanley’s digital tools, will help simplify your financial life and empower you to make financial decisions with confidence.

Working With You

It starts with listening. We, The One Eleven Wealth Management Group, work to understand the full scope of your financial picture. We ask questions – regarding your needs, wants and wishes, your tolerance for risk, your time horizon – and then listen. It’s an ongoing process through which we strive to know all we can about you, your lifestyle and family, your business and your goals for the future. This period of discovery helps us make informed recommendations and design a flexible wealth management plan that is uniquely yours.

We will help align your investment portfolio with your wealth management plan. Our investment philosophy is based upon well-researched concepts that have a meaningful impact on real-world investor returns such as: global diversification, risk management, investor behavior, smart portfolio structure, and tax-aware investment management. As our client, you delegate to our financial advisors the discretionary authority to make investment decisions on your behalf. This enables you to focus on other priorities and commitments in your life, secure in the knowledge your portfolio is in the hands of wealth management professionals.
