Our Approach

Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.

About Dave Cornett
Dave Cornett’s career began in ministry, where he served as an ordained minister in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. In this role, he developed strong leadership and coaching skills while managing large teams of volunteers and students. Dave played a key role in the expansion of one of the largest multi-campus churches in the U.S., contributing to the creation and growth of nine medium to large-sized congregations in South Florida, which collectively drew around 10,000 attendees each week by the end of 2016.
In 2007, Dave transitioned to the financial sector, joining Morgan Stanley as a Financial Advisor alongside his father, Fred Cornett. Despite navigating one of the most challenging financial periods in U.S. history, Dave and his father achieved significant business growth. Dave continued to balance his financial career with ministry, consulting for a large local church in 2010. By 2012, he made the decision to return to full-time ministry, motivated by a deep conviction to serve his community.
In 2017, Dave’s career took a new direction when he joined Chick-fil-A to lead the early market adoption in New York City. He oversaw human resources, administration, and operations for the second Chick-fil-A store in Manhattan. After the birth of his son in 2019, Dave and his family relocated back to South Florida, where he continued in hospitality as a General Manager for Chick-fil-A. His leadership led to a remarkable 60% sales growth until he retired from hospitality in 2023.
Dave rejoined Morgan Stanley in 2023 as a Financial Advisor with The Cornett Group, where he now applies his extensive experience to help clients achieve their financial goals. A Belmont University alumnus with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Dave is also a multi-instrumentalist and music producer, having collaborated with notable talent in the music industry. Residing alongside his wife Jess and their two children, Dave is active in his community, supporting various causes and enjoying water sports.
