Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management
The Tide Point Group
Our Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals
WELCOME
WELCOME
When we named our team The Tide Point Group we wanted a name that encapsulated the essence of what we strive to offer our clients: stability, foresight, and a strategic approach to financial growth. The inspiration behind the name comes from the natural phenomena of tides and the concept of a vantage point, both of which hold significant meaning in the context of wealth management.
Stability and Rhythm of the Tides:
The tides represent a natural rhythm and consistency that mirrors the disciplined approach we take in managing our clients' wealth. Just as the tides are governed by predictable natural forces, our strategies are driven by thorough research, data analysis, and a deep understanding of market trends.
Holistic and Personalized Approach:
We recognize that each client's financial journey is unique, and we take the time to understand their specific goals, challenges, and values. This personalized attention allows us to create tailored strategies that not only aim for financial success but also align with our clients' plans and dreams.
Building Trust and Long-Term Relationships:
Ultimately, the name Tide Point signifies our dedication to building trust and fostering long-term relationships with our clients. We view our role as more than just managing assets; we are stewards in our clients' journeys, providing guidance, support, and experience every step of the way. Our goal is to help our clients achieve their financial objectives while providing them with confidence that comes from knowing they have a dedicated team by their side that will be here for the long-term.
In essence, Tide Point is a name that embodies our core values of stability, adaptability, strategic insight, personalization, and trust.

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.
