A RARE DISTINCTION
A Family Wealth Director (FWD) is a rare distinction, earned by less than 3% of Morgan Stanley's Financial Advisors. The designation is given advisors who have undergone distinctive training to complement their extensive experience working with ultra-high net worth families.
Roxann Romano, Managing Director and Wealth Advisor, holds this designation and leverages the versatile resources of Morgan Stanley and professionals to help our clients and their families drive family wealth education, making it more likely that all members of the family will have the foundation and support they need to potentially lead meaningful, fulfilled and engaged lives.

Family Wealth Capabilities
The Family Office Resources Generalists (FORGs) help clients and Financial Advisors curate and navigate an expansive suite of highly specialized resources to address the complex, multifaceted challenges of managing significant wealth so clients may make complicated decisions confidently.
Family Governance and Wealth Education
The Family Governance & Wealth Education group helps ultra-high net worth families strive to maximize the value of their human capital by addressing sensitive family issues, facilitate communication and manage your family dynamic in an effort to achieve a shared sense of common direction in coordination with your outside advisors.
Trust & Estate Planning
Along the way, we will be by your side. We will examine your tax and estate planning to ensure that your asset allocation analysis appropriately reflects your tax and estate planning's tax features.
Tax Management
There are many tax-smart strategies for your financial plan. We'll help you make the tax decisions today that can help you save for years to come.
Intergenerational Wealth Planning
Our familial team dynamic enables us to carry a various number of specialties. We understand family wealth, and we are experienced for every stage of life. Obstacles are a part of life, and we can help you create a financial plan with those setbacks in mind.
Philanthropy Management
We provide our clients with a smart way to give to causes end charities they care about through Morgan Stanley GIFT. Our donor advised fund, GIFT, is a 501( c )(3) public charity structured to offer you a simple, thoughtful and tax-advantageous way to support your favorite charities.
How We Work With You
The hallmark of our wealth management process is a longstanding commitment to building customized solutions from the ground up. Our goals-based approach leads to strategies that are not only designed to reach specific financial targets, but are reflective of who you are and how you intend to share your wealth with others.
Step 1: Introduction
We begin with an informal discussion to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we’ll schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.
Step 2: Discovery
We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you’ve prepared and define your priorities.
Step 3: Analysis & Plan Development
Here, we utilize proprietary financial planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed plan with recommendations to help you grow and preserve your wealth.
Step 4: Implementation
In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we initiate the investment recommendations and begin to implement the additional strategies we’ve discussed. These often encompass risk management and estate planning.
Step 5: Ongoing Service
Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that provides special value to you and your family. As we begin to execute each strategy, we’ll set up tools so you have immediate access to your account information. And because markets and personal needs evolve over time, we set up ongoing meetings to ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your goals.
Customized Solutions
As your wealth grows, so does its complexities and the resources needed to manage it effectively. We leverage our experience and relationships to deliver innovative strategies that are tailored to your needs. We look forward to speaking with you to understand your challenges, so we may map out a strategy to achieve your particular priorities and goals.
Wealth Management
Wealth management brings all the dimensions of your life together. We listen carefully to understand the connections across your personal life, your family, your career, and your legacy goals to develop an integrated strategy that is uniquely yours.
Financial Planning
The cornerstone of an effective wealth management plan is comprehensive financial planning, which captures your goals, resources and expectations for the future. Effective planning can potentially lead to successful education and retirement income funding. It helps eliminate blind spots, and helps ensure legacy goals are met.
Asset Management
Managing an investment portfolio should be a consultative, disciplined process that balances your attitudes about investing with careful analysis of the financial markets. Working together, we create a personalized strategy that applies long-held investment principles to help your assets appreciate appropriately or generate income as you require.
Lending Products
We believe it’s important to consider all aspects of your finances when building your plan for the future. We offer a broad array of lending solutions that work together to complement your existing investment strategy – from flexible lines of credit and home mortgages to state-of-the-art cash management systems.
Retirement Planning
One of our key areas of strength is helping you prepare for and thrive in retirement. From IRAs to RMDs, we manage the complexities of your comprehensive retirement plan assets, helping you easily transition to the next phase of your life with security and confidence.
Estate Planning Strategies
Delivering an estate to the next generation or favorite charity requires more attention than families often realize. We coordinate with your estate and tax professionals to align your legacy goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designation requirements, incorporating best practices to help enhance results.
401(k) Rollovers
If you have a 401(k) from a previous job, we make it easy to consolidate your assets into one account so you can monitor your progress and investment results all in one place. This helps simplify your financial life, keeps you organized and helps make your money work harder for you.
Corporate Retirement Plans
We work directly with you and your leadership team to effectively manage your corporate retirement plan, while optimizing the benefits to your employees and executives. We have the knowledge, experience and resources to manage and oversee your plan, so you can focus on running your business.
Business Planning
The links between business ownership and personal wealth are many and complex. Whether your objective is to grow your business, realize its value through a succession strategy or sale, or maintain family ownership through the next generation, we will help you examine your alternatives and develop the best strategy to achieve your goals.
Business Succession Planning
Owning a business represents years, if not decades, of hard work and entrepreneurial savvy. Yet, even the most astute business owners are often unfamiliar with the complexities that go into a successful succession strategy. We understand your succession in the context of your overall financial picture. We also work closely with your other financial advisors to help ensure your priorities are reflected in your succession strategy.
RESOURCE CENTER
We are committed to provide our clients with comprehensive digital tools and proper information to help make informed decisions and manage their wealth. Additionally, the firm strives to ensure that the platforms our clients use are safe, fast and flexible.
