Our clients tell us it does and they regularly refer people they care about to us so that we can help them as well. Ask us more about our why when you call.
Our How:
We believe that a disciplined approach increases the likelihood of generating consistent returns while limiting risk of principal. We regard time in the market as more important than timing the market. As such, while being mindful of the current climate, we are focused on long term results.

Our approach focuses on you, your family, and your career - where you are today and where you want to go. Working together, we develop the strategies to help get you there, navigating life's challenges and helping you make more informed decisions about your wealth.

Using Morgan Stanley’s tools and resources to develop a personalized and detailed plan, we can provide recommendations to help you grow, preserve, and transfer your wealth.
3. Implementation
We present strategies to achieve the goals and dreams we discussed in previous meetings. Upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and begin the strategies we have discussed. Often included in these strategies are tax mitigation, risk management, education, philanthropy, and estate planning techniques.
4. Ongoing Service
We apply a strict due diligence process and set up regular calls or meetings to discuss progress towards your goals. We may recommend adjustments over time, due to changes in your life or market conditions, to help keep you on track towards achieving your goals.
Wealth Management for Physicians
As a healthcare provider, your industry has had a tectonic shift within virtually every aspect of your practice. Technology has changed the way you treat and “see” your patients. Managed care has changed the way you get your patients, how much time you can spend with your patients, and how you get paid to treat your patients. Many physicians have been forced to change the way they approach their profession and how they view their practices.
Our clients went into healthcare to help people. They care for their patients deeply, and they don’t want to choose between their practice and their family’s financial future. Likewise, we are in practice to care for our clients’ financial health and well-being.
You are unique and have unique needs. We have the experience working with physicians and dentists through the years to overcome many of these challenges. We have helped hundreds of our clients retire over our careers, and we approach our clients with the same standard of care that you approach your patients. Working with us, you can focus on your patients knowing you have a team of advisors supporting your financial decisions. We take time to understand your goals and dreams, develop a care plan to reach your objectives, and tailor our solutions for the express purpose of delivering Wealth Enhancement, Protection, and Transfer. You will have access to world-class investment consulting, financial strategies, and retirement plan services for physicians as part of one of the world’s premier financial services firms.

We help clients through the entire process by leveraging some of the best resources, research, and investment management services in the industry.
Planning for the Unplanned
Unexpected events such as death, disability, or retirement of a business owner or key executive does not have to mean the end of a successful business. Advanced planning can provide for an orderly transition of ownership and business management during lifetime or at death. There are many opportunities for structuring and funding buy-sell agreements, key employee needs and other executive benefits programs.
Transaction of a Lifetime
Creating and growing a successful business is not always just about money, nor is the decision to exit the business. That exit could be through an IPO, merger, private sale or succession within the family. The process is intense, with complex details and decisions consisting of an unexpected combination of personal and financial needs. Morgan Stanley has been assisting business owners like you bring clarity and confidence to what is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Understanding Your Equity Awards
Navigating grants, stock options, restricted stock awards, and the like can be confusing. Then you have qualified versus non-qualified, cost basis, insider requirements, and vesting periods that take it from confusing to confounding. These are part of your compensation package. We will help you determine the best strategies to get the most out of these plans with the least amount of hassle, risk, and taxes.

About Barney Grossman
Barney began his career in Minnesota, working at a large insurance company. He corrected complex computing errors, but more importantly learned that he doesn’t like Minnesota winters. After relocating to Dallas, he transitioned to closing real estate transactions. To get a more holistic relationship with his clients, Barney moved over to personal finance and managed banks and later private banking. In 2005, he moved his practice to Merrill Lynch.
With experience in the financial services industry extending back to 1994, Barney took the opportunity to join Myron Schwitzer at Smith Barney (which later became Morgan Stanley) in 2008, when they formed the Schwitzer Grossman Group. The two of them focus on the needs and solutions of their clients. Utilizing his previous experience with firms such as Stewart Title, Republic Title, Bank of America, and Merrill Lynch, Barney focuses on holistic financial planning, real estate, cash management and lending solutions, and investments. A lifelong problem-solver, Barney has always enjoyed completing crossword, sudoku and other puzzles. He finds similarities between those games and working with clients. Barney realizes that every person he works with has their own unique situation, which requires a customized approach of establishing the clients’ current situation, their goals and dreams, and any obstacles along the way.
Barney has lived in the Dallas area since 1983 and is a dedicated community member, being an active Freemason and Scottish Rite Mason. Well-traveled as a Child, Barney grew up splitting time between Minneapolis, Minnesota and Dallas, Texas. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of New Mexico. Barney has three children, Miles, Rachel, and Alayna, and a dog named Libby. Barney enjoys fishing, hiking, and traveling. Barney is also avid scuba diver and live music enthusiast. He contributes his time and energy as a volunteer for local non-profit organizations.

For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available. The Morgan Stanley ADV is available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV.
3Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment decisions.
4Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
5When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
8Investors 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.
9Investing 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.
