Welcome to The One North Group at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management
Our Story
We are a multidisciplinary team of 14 experienced professionals who combine our talents to help highly affluent families address the complex challenges of managing generational wealth. By focusing all of our attention on the needs of a select few clients, we are able to serve as close family advisors to each. We understand their needs and aspirations and deliver comprehensive solutions to help them pursue their most important life goals.
Having worked with ultra high net worth families and their foundations for many years, we have learned that there is no substitute for thoughtful, proactive and strategic advice. We have also learned that no individual Advisor, no matter how qualified, can meet the full spectrum of their needs. That is why we place great emphasis on collaboration. That starts within our team and extends to our colleagues across Morgan Stanley, the investment banking community and our clients' attorneys, CPAs and other trusted advisors.
We look forward to learning more about you and your family, and to discussing our approach to helping you achieve your multigenerational goals.
