Our Mission Statement
Private Wealth Management is dedicated solely to the complex, multigenerational needs of ultra high net worth families, foundations, and family offices.
Welcome
As the first and only Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management team in Central Florida, we have over 50 years of combined experience serving high net worth and ultra-high net worth families like yours. This experience has taught us that a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach is needed to address the complex challenges your family may be facing. We stay in close contact with you, your accountants, attorney, and other key advisors to maintain an up-to-date understanding of your family dynamics, goals, and risk tolerances. We combine this deep insight into your financial situation with a robust understanding of the global financial markets resulting in a comprehensive plan that helps you manage your family’s financial life and legacy.
We consider a client’s complete financial situation – focusing on all aspects of their balance sheet, regardless of purpose, location, or disposition – and then apply academically supported and empirical analysis, astute capital market strategy, and the appropriate blend of securities in a tax and fee efficient manner. Unlike centralized investment models, we create portfolios that are not overly diversified, giving our clients the transparency that they seek, and a better opportunity to meet their targets. Our investment process is designed to help each client meet their investment objectives and income requirements over time, given acceptable parameters, tying performance to their overall plan.

1 Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, December, 2024
Source: Barron's.com (May 2024) 2024 Barron's Top 250 Private Wealth Management Teams awarded in 2024. The teams are ranked on a variety of factors, including their size and shape, their regulatory records and credentials of their members, and the resources they have at their disposal to serve their client bases. The rankings are meant as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor—a first-pass vetting that can help investors narrow a search. Every advisor will have his or her own approach to investing, financial planning, and other services. Clients are encouraged to approach a search for an advisor the way they would a search for a doctor—interviewing multiple professionals and getting opinions from multiple third parties. Rankings are based on the opinions of Barron's and this ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience. This ranking is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance.

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.

1Investing 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.
