Our Story and Services
When you work with The Wellington Group, you partner with a team that brings more than 85 combined years of experience across financial services, financial planning, and active investment management. You will be supported by a diverse team of highly credentialed specialists who can help address a broad range of financial needs.
We begin with a financial plan overseen by our team's Certified Financial Planner, along with our dedicated Morgan Stanley Financial Planning Specialist. Your assets are then professionally managed by our Morgan Stanley Portfolio Management Director. You will also have access to the specialized expertise of a dedicated Morgan Stanley Alternative Investments Director, who can help evaluate and analyze select private-market opportunities on your behalf. In addition, your insurance and asset protection needs can be supported by our in-house Morgan Stanley Insurance Planning Director and Certified Long-Term Care Consultant. Finally, if you or a family member is navigating the prospect of divorce, our team includes a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst who can help guide you through the financial considerations and next steps.
In short, we help orchestrate the finances of affluent families, business owners, fiduciary trust and estate clients, and retirees as they navigate the different chapters of their financial lives.
For more than 20 years, we have believed that true success is defined by the positive impact we have on the people and the world around us. That belief helped inspire our name. The battle crest of the Duke of Wellington bears the motto, "With virtue comes fortune," which ultimately led us to the name The Wellington Group at Morgan Stanley. Today, we remain united by a shared commitment to improving the lives of our clients and their families, while striving to deliver an exceptional wealth management experience.

About Scott E. O'Dell
With more than 20 years of experience guiding clients through multiple economic cycles, Scott focuses on serving high-net-worth investors. He is actively involved in the design, implementation, and proactive management of high-quality, blue-chip individual stock portfolios, concentrated stock positions, and professional money management strategies.
As the team’s fixed income professional, Scott proactively builds individual municipal and corporate bond ladders, including tax-free municipal strategies where appropriate. With a focus on risk mitigation, he and the team individually select bonds and seek to maintain control over maturity structure, credit quality, and the revenue source of each bond held within a client’s portfolio.
Earlier in his career, Scott served as a veteran advisor at A.G. Edwards and as a U.S. Merchant Marine Lieutenant out of Ft. Schuyler in the Bronx, New York. He has also been an Executive Club member of The Naples Chamber of Commerce since 2000.
As a founder of The Wellington Group, Scott emphasizes a client-first philosophy designed to keep the focus on each client’s unique needs and help families build a legacy for the future and for generations to come. He often notes that while no one can predict the weather, it is possible to build a ship strong enough to navigate storms and arrive safely in port. He believes the same principle applies to long-term investing and navigating the markets.

About Jennifer A. O'Dell
As the team’s Insurance Planning Director, she serves as the primary resource for customizing solutions that may help enhance and protect retirement cash flows, long-term care funding, charitable giving, and legacy planning. In this role, she focuses on ensuring insurance policies are structured to help clients meet their objectives with clarity and without unwanted surprises later. She works closely with the team to ensure insurance strategies complement other assets and align with each client’s long-term goals in accordance with the client’s financial plan. This often includes educating clients on available options, implementing appropriate solutions, and reviewing existing coverage to confirm it is positioned to meet clients’ expectations.
Jennifer holds the Certified in Long-Term Care (CLTC) designation, informed by extensive personal experience with elderly family members who needed care. Planning ahead for this phase of life is especially meaningful to her, and throughout her career she has seen the difference proactive planning can make for clients and their families. She is proud to help provide solutions and peace of mind in this important area.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), Jennifer focuses on helping business owners drive value within their businesses and ultimately capitalize on that value as they plan for what comes next. For many owners, the business is their largest asset, and maximizing and harvesting that wealth is critical to long-term outcomes. Because business and personal finances are deeply intertwined, she strives to add value to both by introducing strategies that may reduce risk and increase value well before an owner is actively considering an exit or transition.
The team’s holistic approach is designed to provide comprehensive advice tailored to each client’s goals and life circumstances. Their work is guided by a client-centric philosophy rooted in long-term relationships and trust. Jennifer values the opportunity to work with clients and their families year over year to help reinforce confidence in their financial plans through expertise, integrity, and personalized solutions.
Outside of her client work, Jennifer serves on the Board of Directors for United Arts Collier and is a Guild member of The Shelter for Abused Women and Children. Jennifer A. O’Dell is a recipient of the Five Star Wealth Manager Award consecutively from 2017 to 2025.

6Investing 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. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
7Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
8Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment decisions.
