Industry Award WinnerOur Mission Statement
Our team is dedicated to helping people achieve their financial goals. We believe every client is entitled to the highest level of personalized service and care. With the global resources of Morgan Stanley, we’ll place you at the center of the wealth management process as we work together to design a goals-based financial approach to help you reach the goals that matter most to you.
We strive to understand the world you have today. And the one you want tomorrow.
We have noticed that one of the most interesting things about working with affluent clients is this: the focus is seldom on counting dollars and cents. It's about what those dollars can do. The lifestyle they provide, the businesses they build, the opportunities they foster. Helping clients to make their choices takes insight, understanding and a long-term commitment to their point of view.
We believe that's why families who could take their resources anywhere consider choosing The Umbel Group for dedicated wealth management. Although based in Savannah, we work with clients from the Peach State to the Golden State, from River Street to Wall Street, from our office to wherever your life takes you. Whether you are still working, approaching retirement, or already retired – our team is qualified to help.
The Umbel Group can offer advice and guidance on different facets of your financial world—how you invest, your income and revenue streams, your businesses and property, retirement, and how you can build a foundation for generations that follow.

Wealth management based on your goals. Focused on you.
On the surface, it seems rather simple — manage investments and resources in pursuit of a goal. However, if you're like most of the clients we serve, you have an array of goals. Often these goals are multi-faceted and complex, requiring the experience of a number of professionals. When working with The Umbel Group, our clients may benefit not only from the day-to-day advice and guidance that we provide. They can also benefit from an extensive team of Morgan Stanley professionals who are available for additional support and expertise. All working together with one focus - You. Our approach to goals-based wealth management seeks to tie together your entire financial outlook — income, expenses, investments, debt, business interest, real property — in one strategy.
We start by:
- Analyzing your current income, expenses, and investment holdings.
- Considering your objectives for each area of your financial life—family, business, retirement, and wealth transfer.
- Estimating the potential impact of taxes, inflation, and market upheavals on your portfolio.
CRC: 4279903
Anyone can show you model portfolios. We tailor strategies with you in mind.
CRC: 4279903
From the moment you become a client, The Umbel Group gives you access to the worldwide investment insights and resources of Morgan Stanley. We can offer you access to new investment opportunities, global research, economic forecasts, and the latest thinking on portfolio management.
After we gain clarity about your goals and outlook, our advice and guidance center around tailoring portfolios targeted to each of your objectives. We then take into account your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and time horizons to create strategies based on the three fundamentals of investing: Asset Allocation, Diversification, and Rebalancing. Broadly, your asset allocation is intended to pursue your short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals.
Disclaimer:
Asset Allocation, Diversification and Rebalancing do not protect against a loss in declining financial markets. There may be a potential tax implication with a rebalancing strategy. Investors should consult with their tax advisor before implementing such a strategy.
Everyday investments and accounts
If appropriate, we can recommend shorter-term investments and accounts for your cash and other liquid assets, and help you allocate income from your business and distributions from your other investment, trust, or retirement accounts. We can help you manage these assets to maintain your lifestyle and day-to-day expenditures.
Your intermediate portfolio
For your intermediate-term objectives, we may suggest a well-diversified portfolio of equities, fixed-income instruments, mutual funds and alternative investments for certain qualified investors. Here we focus on helping to preserve your wealth from inflation, taxes, and attrition.
Aspirational investments
When appropriate, we can offer investment advice and guidance on concentrated equity positions, stock options, business interests, and alternative investments. Clients generally seek long-term growth through these holdings, and our advice and guidance are targeted to that objective.
