Our goal is to build your wealth, preserve your assets and grow your confidence in the financial well-being of your family today and for years to come.
Our Story and Services
Our clients may not be family, but they are to us. Some have reached the point in their careers where they recognize the need for professional wealth management advice to really reach their goals. Many are rapidly approaching retirement or have entered into it and want to feel confident they can maintain their lifestyle without financial worry.
All of our clients know they can depend on The Palm Oaks Group for sound advice that is given with their needs first and foremost in mind. Our experienced team offers a rich diversity of skill sets that can forge a clear path to success. Let us show you strategies to grow wealth, protect assets and take advantage of ways to manage your tax burdens.
You’ve worked hard throughout your career—so now it’s our job to help you and your family enjoy the fruits of that labor. We’ll be with you to celebrate milestones or to provide objectivity during life’s difficult times, such as the challenges that come with losing a loved one or going through a divorce. We are confident that we’ll help find the right solution to keep you on track and feeling financially secure.
We want to be your “go-to” team for all your financial matters. Your trusted advocates that can tap into the global resources of a top-tier financial powerhouse in order to accelerate your success. And that all starts with a financial plan that enables you to feel more confident about reaching your goals today—and optimistic about the road ahead.

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 “America’s Best-in-State Wealth Advisors” (2018-2024) and “Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-In State” (2020-2025).
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.

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 described in the applicable Morgan Stanley ADV Part 2, available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV or from your Financial Advisor.

About Bianca Capozzi, Pacesetter's Club 2025
My favorite part of being a Financial Advisor is helping individuals achieve their goals. My dedicated approach offers integrated planning, investment recommendations, cash management, lending, and holistic advice through a single point of contact. I aim to provide detailed financial plans for all my clients to help guide significant life events, personal and financial decisions. Most importantly, to bring comfort, empowerment, and trust that they won’t outlive their money. I meet with clients regularly to ensure we are on target with their short and long-term objectives. I’m committed and passionate about providing valued advice and exceptional service.
Sometimes I say that my career began at age ten. My father was a Financial Advisor who often brought me to work with him. I admired how he treated every client with kindness, respect, and compassion. He always had the answers. Perhaps that’s why I pursued the designation of Financial Planning Specialist. It’s a certification that puts me in an even better position to help clients attain additional confidence.
Life lessons I learned as a student-athlete at Muhlenberg College are the importance of discipline, teamwork, and focus when striving for greater success. I bring the same passion and enthusiasm to serving my client’s needs. Their success is what drives me.
I live in northern NJ, and when I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, scuba diving, oil painting, and mountain biking. Giving back to my community is important to me. I volunteer with my local church group, providing food and clothing for needy women and their children.

11The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
