About Stephen Wentz
Every client has a lifestyle they would like to create for their family. Stephen's primary focus is to understand this vision and help create a path to get there. His team's client relationships are centered around the financial plan, a process that analyzes a client’s entire balance sheet to better understand risks, time horizon, liquidity needs and income requirements, while setting specific financial goals.

After five years at Credit Suisse, Stephen joined UniCredit Bank within their fixed income sales and trading team in New York City, concentrating on markets in government, investment grade, high yield and emerging market bonds.
Prior to joining Morgan Stanley 2022, Stephen was a private wealth advisor at UBS for six years, concentrating on building customized financial and investment plans for his clients.

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.

10The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations.
