Our Mission Statement
Helping business owners become financially independent of their business
Welcome!
The Stanek-Haack Group at Morgan Stanley is an experienced, hard-working investment advisory team with a clear vision: to help investors like you achieve their financial goals through prudent asset management.
Our financial advisors hold numerous professional designations, giving us specific experience in key areas of financial planning. Integrity and professionalism are at the core of every decision that we make.
The Group is led by Brad Stanek, CFP®. Brad discovered his passion for finance as a teenager, long before most students take up the topic in their classroom. At 14, his father showed him how to track his investments in the newspaper. “I was hooked,” Brad recalls thinking. “I knew then I wanted to be a financial advisor.”
But not just any advisor. Brad wanted to be the best advisor, someone people could trust and depend on. “My grandfather, a successful entrepreneur, instilled those values in me,” Brad remembers fondly. “He emphasized the importance of hard work, treating everyone right and never giving up.”
After graduating from college, Brad found out quickly the meaning of never giving up. He went on 71 job interviews and received 71 rejections. “I wasn’t discouraged. I was determined,” he recalled. Finally, he received a job offer from Merrill Lynch on his 72nd interview.
Brad went on to build the foundation for a successful business, but it has not been without challenges. His most daunting professional and personal challenges occurred in the same year (2008) -- the stock market dropped 50 percent and his then three-year-old son was diagnosed with autism. “Our family’s world was upended. I realized then there was much more to wealth planning than picking the right investments. I became knowledgeable in the use of effective advanced planning strategies to help my family. Gradually, I realized this knowledge could be valuable in helping other families, as well.”
Soon thereafter, Brad and his experienced team were designing thoughtful wealth plans for business owners and entrepreneurs around the country. “Our advice goes well beyond selecting investments; it provides our clients with solutions to help them reach their most important goals.”
The Stanek-Haack Group can do the same for you. Whether your goals are short- or long-term, The Stanek-Haack Group can be your valued and trusted advisor in helping you get to where you want to be.

Selling in Today’s Environment? What RV Dealers Should Know Part 1
Few will argue that the buy-sell environment for RV dealerships today is drastically different from 12 months ago.

Best Deal Structure for YouWELCOME DEALERS
The Stanek-Haack Group offers guidance for dealers with a special focus on the Marine and Powersports industries.

The Stanek-Haack group can help you by quarterbacking the exit planning process.

Positioning Your Dealership for Sale: How to Stand Out in a Competitive Market
As a dealership owner, preparing to sell your business is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. It's not just about securing a buyer; it's about positioning your operation to maximize value and stand out among a staggering 8,000 dealerships projected to change hands in the next 3-5 years. With such a competitive landscape, it's essential to be strategic in your approach.
Learn MoreEnhancing Cash Flow and Preparing for Tax Changes: Strategies for Dealerships
As 2024 presents new challenges for dealerships, many are experiencing lower volumes, reduced margins, and increased overhead. To navigate these financial difficulties, dealerships must focus on enhancing cash flow which includes preparing for potential tax changes coming in 2025. Effective management of cash flow, along with proactive tax planning, can help dealerships preserve their hard-earned dollars and position themselves for future success.
Learn MoreMaximizing Profits in Your F&I Department Through Reinsurance
It is no secret that these are challenging times for powersports dealers. The Fed’s high interest rate policy has raised floor plan costs and curtailments for dealers. It has raised gas prices and inflation for consumers, including your customers. Meanwhile, the historically low unemployment rate means you must pay more than ever to attract and retain good employees. These factors are clearly depressing dealership valuations. But despite these headwinds, there are still plenty of opportunities for savvy dealers. Take reinsurance, one of the most overlooked and often misunderstood strategies for dealership growth and wealth accumulation.

Ingredients for a Successful DealPeter Haack Resources
Most people are lucky if they can find a way to make a living at something they love. Estero Florida resident, Peter Haack CIMA®, CFP® has found a way to blend his twin passions for real estate management and wealth management into a thriving practice. As a principal of the Stanek-Haack Group at Morgan Stanley, the former Chicago native helps elite real estate agents and brokers build, maintain and protect their assets as they plan for retirement or an exit from their firms.
"When my kids were younger, I would drive them to one of the buildings I managed, and tell them 'Do you see that apartment over there? Well that's how we are paying for your college' recalled Haack. "'Now here is a broom and a mop, you have to clean it now. I will be back in two hours'" added Haack, proud that all three of his children learned the discipline of hard work at an early age.
Haack's philosophy was honed at Villanova University where he maintained a demanding academic workload in the Mechanical Engineering program while also playing offensive lineman on the football team. It was there that Haack learned to balance grit and determination with analytical and strategic thinking. This foundation has been instrumental in his success in wealth management, real estate management, and entrepreneurism.
Before joining Morgan Stanley, Haack founded and managed day-to-day operations of his own investment advisory firm for over a decade. Here he not only honed his wealth management acumen, but learned the intricacies of running a demanding business and making payroll which resonates with many of his successful entrepreneurial clients. "When I deal with entrepreneurs, I know that inner feeling of worrying about not knowing what's going to happen," related Haack.
For over 20 years, Peter and his wife Susie have successfully owned and operated multifamily apartment buildings in the highly competitive Chicago market, which makes him well-equipped to advise his many commercial and residential real estate clients.
Since relocating to Naples, Florida area, (more on that in a minute), Peter has focused his practice on serving top-tier real estate brokers and real estate operators, generally with a minimum net worth of $5 million.
Family office resources + 'stress testing'
Peter Haack operates his practice as the quarterback of an extended services concept. This model allows the team to access top specialists within various disciplines to provide clients with a second opinion about their complex tax, accounting, legal, insurance, estate planning strategy, exit planning and philanthropic giving concerns. This approach allows the team to provide clients with a holistic view of their entire financial lives without the expense of hiring top talent in-house.
The Stanek-Haack Group also utilizes powerful, cutting-edge technology that allows the team to "stress test" clients' portfolios and financial plans under 3,000 different economic and financial market scenarios. The Portfolio Risk Platform involves a thorough analysis and evaluation of a client's current financial strategies, identifying potential risks and opportunities for optimization. This service, coupled with access to the Firm's Family Office Resources, provides clients with a robust, well-rounded financial management experience.
The Wealth Discovery Advantage
The team utilizes a customized five-step process that looks at all areas of their finances, business and family, using the resources of his wealth management team and other professionals. Haack brings together a rare combination of skills in the capital markets and wealth management combined with his knowledge and proficiency in real estate and construction.
Naples connection
As more of the Stanek-Haack Group's clients have relocated (or partially domiciled) to the west coast of Florida, Haack decided to relocate to Naples himself to be closer to his clients and to avail himself of the great Gulf Coast lifestyle that he and his family have come to love over many visits to the area. By adapting to his clients' evolving lifestyles exemplifies his dedication to providing tailored, client-centric wealth management services.
The term "Family Office Resources" is being used as a term of art and not to imply that Morgan Stanley and/or its employees are acting as a family office pursuant to Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
The Portfolio Analysis report ("Report") is generated by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC's ("Morgan Stanley") Portfolio Risk Platform. The assumptions used in a Report incorporate portfolio risk and scenario analysis employed by BlackRock Solutions ("BRS"), a financial technology and risk analytics provider that is independent of Morgan Stanley. BRS' role is limited to providing risk analytics to Morgan Stanley, and BRS is not acting as a broker-dealer or investment adviser nor does it provide investment advice with respect to the Report. Morgan Stanley has validated and adopted the analytical conclusions of these risk models. Any recommendations regarding external accounts/holdings are asset allocation only and do not include security recommendations. IMPORTANT: The projections or other information provided in a Report regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes (including any assumed rates of return and income) are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. Hypothetical investment results have inherent limitations. •There are frequently large differences between hypothetical and actual results. •Hypothetical results do not represent actual results and are generally designed with the benefit of hindsight. •They cannot account for all factors associated with risk, including the impact of financial risk in actual trading or the ability towithstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading strategy in the face of trading losses. •There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific strategy thatcannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical risk results and all of which can adversely affect actualperformance. Morgan Stanley cannot give any assurances that any estimates, assumptions or other aspects of the risk analyses will provecorrect. They are subject to actual known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results todiffer materially from those shown in a Report.
Risk Should Work With You, Not Against You
- As a successful real estate professional, you are no stranger to risk, including the uncertainty and potential downside of real estate market conditions that can immediately impact your income and profits. I help clients navigate a wide variety of economic, financial, political and social factors to make the best possible buying or selling decisions. And those factors are constantly changing. But when it comes to your own finances, how well are you managing investment risk? More importantly, how well are you harnessing thatrisk to help you achieve your financial and life goals? Before answering those questions, let’s take a closer look at what risk really is for investors.

About Brad Stanek
Think for a moment when you became passionate about something in your life. For me, it all started when I was 14. My dad showed me how to track the investments he had set up for my college education in the newspaper. Wow! I was hooked! I knew from that point I was going to be a financial advisor.
And how about your values? I am fortunate that my values were greatly influenced by my Grandfather. He was a successful entrepreneur that lived and breathed by three core values: work harder than everyone else, treat everyone with respect, never give up.
Do you recall that first job search out of school? The nerve-racking interviews? I do. Upon graduating from college, I started my journey to become a financial advisor. I went on 71 interviews and got 71 no's. Thankfully I was persistent, like my grandfather, and on the 72nd interview I got a job offer from Merrill Lynch.
Can you remember what it took to get to where you are today? I attribute our practice’s success to my other two values, extremely hard work and treating people right. These values helped us build a very nice practice, and everything was going smoothly, until 2008! Now, we all get thrown curveballs in life from time to time, and I am sure you have had your share of ups and downs. In 2008, not only did the market correct 50%, but my oldest son, who was three at the time, was diagnosed with autism. As you can imagine, our family’s world was upended. I realized at that point there was so much more to proper wealth planning than picking the right investments. Out of necessity I became proficient at financial planning and in the use of the most effective advanced planning strategies. This newfound perspective bolstered my ability to help other families as well as business owners, like you, to maximize your opportunities and overcome your challenges in order to reach your most important goals.
Our team thrives on our extensive professional backgrounds to serve our clients. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2009, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business from Indiana University before spending 16 years at Merrill Lynch as a Vice President and Financial Advisor. Currently, I am an Executive Director, Certified Financial Planner® and Financial Advisor and was honored as a 2021-2023 Forbes Magazine Best-In-State Wealth Advisors List – Illinois.

About Peter Haack
Most people are lucky if they can find a way to make a living at something they love. Estero Florida resident, Peter Haack CIMA®, CFP® has found a way to blend his twin passions for real estate management and wealth management into a thriving practice. As a principal of the Stanek-Haack Group at Morgan Stanley, the former Chicago native helps elite real estate agents and brokers build, maintain and protect their assets as they plan for retirement or an exit from their firms.
“When my kids were younger, I would drive them to one of the buildings I managed, and tell them ‘Do you see that apartment over there? Well that's how we are paying for your college’ recalled Haack. “‘Now here is a broom and a mop, you have to clean it now. I will be back in two hours’” added Haack, proud that all three of his children learned the discipline of hard work at an early age.
Haack’s philosophy was honed at Villanova University where he maintained a demanding academic workload in the Mechanical Engineering program while also playing offensive lineman on the football team. It was there that Haack learned to balance grit and determination with analytical and strategic thinking. This foundation has been instrumental in his success in wealth management, real estate management, and entrepreneurism.
Before joining Morgan Stanley, Haack founded and managed day-to-day operations of his own investment advisory firm for over a decade. Here he not only honed his wealth management acumen, but learned the intricacies of running a demanding business and making payroll which resonates with many of his successful entrepreneurial clients. “When I deal with entrepreneurs, I know that inner feeling of worrying about not knowing what’s going to happen,” related Haack.
For over 20 years, Peter and his wife Susie have successfully owned and operated multifamily apartment buildings in the highly competitive Chicago market, which makes him well-equipped to advise his many commercial and residential real estate clients.
Since relocating to Naples, Florida area, (more on that in a minute), Peter has focused his practice on serving top-tier real estate brokers and real estate operators, generally with a minimum net worth of $5 million.
Family office resources + ‘stress testing’
Haack operates his practice as the quarterback of an extended family office services concept. This model allows the team to access top specialists within various disciplines to provide clients with a second opinion about their complex tax, accounting, legal, insurance, estate planning strategy, exit planning and philanthropic giving concerns. This approach allows the team to provide clients with a holistic view of their entire financial lives without the expense of hiring top talent in-house.
The Stanek-Haack Group also utilizes powerful, cutting-edge technology that allows the team to “stress test” clients' portfolios and financial plans under 3,000 different economic and financial market scenarios. The Portfolio Risk Platform involves a thorough analysis and evaluation of a client’s current financial strategies, identifying potential risks and opportunities for optimization. This service, coupled with access to the Firm’s Family Office Resources, provides clients with a robust, well-rounded financial management experience.
The team utilizes a customized five-step process that looks at all areas of their finances, business and family, using the resources of his wealth management team and other professionals. Haack brings together a rare combination of skills in the capital markets and wealth management combined with his knowledge and proficiency in real estate and construction.
Naples connection
As more of the Stanek-Haack Group’s clients have relocated (or partially domiciled) to the west coast of Florida, Haack decided to relocate to Naples himself to be closer to his clients and to avail himself of the great Gulf Coast lifestyle that he and his family have come to love over many visits to the area. By adapting to his clients' evolving lifestyles exemplifies his dedication to providing tailored, client-centric wealth management services.
