About Claudine Callison-Siero
I began my financial services career with Morgan Stanley in 1998. Before that I was an Advertising Sales Executive with MTV Networks, which I landed after receiving my Bachelor of Science degree from Ithaca College while studying Business, Communications and Finance.
My clientele is a diverse group, including successful business owners, Wall Street professionals, members of the LGBTQ community and a range of High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth people that all have individual goals.
I’m not only a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I’m also a divorcee. So, I have the unique experience to offer so much more than emotional support. I’ll help you create a financial strategy as you enter the next chapter of your life. You’ll need someone on your team that understands today’s challenges and helps you navigate through the stress of divorce
The industry has recognized my passion for helping clients consistently over the year. Most recently Forbes has named “Best-in-State Wealth Advisors” (2018-2025) and “Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-In State” (2020-2026).
On a personal note, I’m the proud parent of a wonderful young daughter. We currently divide our time between Saddle River, NJ and Palm Beach, Fl. We’re fortunate to be able to enjoy all four seasons and spend a lot of in-person time with family, friends, clients, co-workers and teammates. I’ve recently become an avid pickleball player! My other hobbies include golf, travel, reading, walking, yoga and Pilates.

About Jay M. Dewan
From the time I was growing up in Clifton, finance fascinated me. I’ve spent my entire career with the same firm where I’ve been a Financial Advisor since 2005. The Palm Oaks Group at Morgan Stanley is a team of seasoned financial professionals who advise clients on every aspect of their financial lives.
I offer discretionary management for clients who would prefer not to make day-to-day investment decisions on their own. My area of focus is helping to create customized asset allocations that I generally implement with professionally managed investments.
And as a Morgan Stanley Family Wealth Advisor, I go far beyond investments to provide guidance on leaving a meaningful legacy, using debt to their advantage, managing risk and maximizing their philanthropic activities.
I’m a graduate of Montclair State University with a degree in finance. Most of my free time is spent volunteering at the Clifton Animal Shelter, where I help stray, surrendered, or neglected animals find their forever homes. I believe my commitment to the Shelter stems from the same instincts that led me to become a Financial Advisor. It’s all about my desire to put others first and go above and beyond expectations to make a difference.
Disclosure:
The individuals mentioned as the Portfolio Management Team are Financial Advisors with Morgan Stanley participating in the Morgan Stanley Portfolio Management program. The Portfolio Management program is an investment advisory program in which the client’s Financial Advisor invests the client’s assets on a discretionary basis in a range of securities. The Portfolio Management program is described in the applicable Morgan Stanley ADV Part 2, available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV or from your Financial Advisor.
Asset Allocation or Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
The investments listed may not be appropriate for all investors. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC recommends that investors independently evaluate particular investments, and encourages investors to seek the advice of a financial advisor. The appropriateness of a particular investment will depend upon an investor's individual circumstances and objectives.

11Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
12Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. 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.

11Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
