Our Story

Unlike most stars, the North Star, Polaris, always stays in the same place in the sky. For centuries, it has been a constant, reliable, and served as a guiding light compass for navigating through uncharted territory. Whether traveling by sea or land, Polaris was instrumental in helping people achieve their objectives and reach their destinations. It is said that a person's 'North Star' is a metaphor for their personal mission and purpose in life, a point of reference to keep them on track to fulfill that purpose and arrive at their destination in an otherwise changing world.

At The Polaris One Group, understanding what your 'North Star' is and helping you navigate your financial journey, meet your objectives, and arrive safely at your personal destination is our most important priority. We have a firm belief that helping you achieve your objectives begins with understanding your situation and developing a plan to achieve your goals. We do not adopt a one size fits all approach and strive to personalize your experience while providing you our best advice on a foundation built with integrity, skill, reliability, and the genuine care that we each have for our clients.

Morgan Stanley has meaningful intelligence regarding every major asset class, a presence in every major market, and investment research from some of the world's most respected analysts. Our firm provides us with exceptional tools to assist us in our mission to help you. Together, we will formulate a strategy and provide guidance to empower you to achieve your most important goals.

The Polaris One Group at Morgan Stanley has over 100 years of combined experience in the financial services industry and we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

About Brian Guy

For my entire career the foundation to my success has been putting my clients first and working with them to develop a plan to achieve financial security. “Financial Security” is a vague term that means different things to different people, but is at the core of what most clients are striving to achieve. I have a firm belief that long term financial success is not about what the market is doing this week, this month, or this year. Long term financial success, and ultimately financial security, comes from diligence, patience, persistence, sacrifice and the ability to see the big picture even when the events of the day make it hard to remain focused on the long term objective. Helping my clients to define and work toward their financial goals and helping them to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes, which can derail the best laid plans, provides me with tremendous professional satisfaction. I have great appreciation for the faith and trust that each client has placed in me and do my best to provide honest, unbiased, objective advice as we work toward achieving their objectives.

About David B. Graham Jr.

I began my financial services career in 1989 at the Chicago Board of Trade after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics from Purdue University. In the early 1990s, I became a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch & Co. I later joined Wells Fargo Advisors, where I spent more than 25 years before joining Morgan Stanley in 2018. Since joining the firm, I have earned the Portfolio Manager designation and have been promoted to Senior Vice President.

As a Financial Advisor, I take a comprehensive approach to understanding each client’s goals, priorities and concerns. This process allows me to develop tailored wealth management and investment strategies designed to evolve as clients’ needs and circumstances change. Planning, analysis, ongoing engagement and regular monitoring are central to the long-term relationships we build with clients.

As a Portfolio Manager, I manage client portfolios based on each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. My responsibilities include investment selection, diversification, tactical portfolio adjustments and overall asset allocation.

I earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification in 1998. CFP® professionals must meet education, examination, experience and ethical requirements established by CFP Board. I also hold Series 7, 24, 53, 63 and 65 securities licenses.

My nickname is “Beau,” and I have been called that all my life. I live in South Bend, Indiana, with my wife, Carol, and we have three grown children. I am passionate about staying connected to the local community through various clubs and charitable organizations. In my free time, I enjoy golf, fly-fishing and skiing.
