About Russell Jones
Russ Jones has spent over twenty years gathering the skills and experience needed to help successful families address their lives and legacies. As the Family Wealth Director of the Prattos Jones Group at Morgan Stanley, he has received advanced training and resources in: Family Governance, Succession
Planning, Lifestyle Advisory, Philanthropy, and Health Care Advisory. Family wealth services include, and extend well beyond, investment management services; clients also gain access to other accomplished professionals, both within Morgan Stanley and through relationships with carefully vetted third parties in key specialty professions.
Prior to forming the Prattos Jones Group with Mr. Prattos some 20 years ago, his focus was high net worth families, endowments, pensions, and other retirement plans at two of the U.S.’s major trust companies. While institutional clients such as pension plans, insurance companies and endowments remain
a substantial part of the Group’s business, Russ’ current emphasis is in the family wealth area.
Giving back to the community is a primary goal for all Group members. For Russ, the focus is at-risk children. He has served on the Board of the Children’s Home Society, Northeast Florida for over 10 years and routinely volunteers at related fund-raising events benefiting at-risk children. In 2019, he was asked to
join the Florida State Board of Children's Home Society. The organization is one of the largest not-for-profit organizations in the Southeastern USA.
Away from the office, you will likely find Russ playing tennis with wife Debbie and friends. Golf and flying are next after tennis, but not moving up the list. Russ and Debbie’s children are grown, so Russ and Debbie visit them around the country as time allows. Home is the Coastal Oaks community in Ponte Vedra.
