About Lee Ziady
With over 25 years of experience as a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, I focus on client relationship management, portfolio oversight, and comprehensive financial planning strategies. My work may include tailored lending solutions, currency hedging, options trading, and risk management strategies. I aim to thoroughly understand each client's financial needs and align resources to meet or exceed them, whether addressing short-term concerns or planning for long-term goals.
I hold a BBA in Finance and Economics from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and postgraduate studies in Cost and Federal Income Tax Accounting from Belmont University. I am also a Registered Financial Advisor, holding the Series 7, 66, 65, and 13 licenses.
Before entering finance, I owned and operated high-end retail stores in Nashville, TN, from 1984-1996, overseeing all aspects of business operations. Earlier, I worked as a Production Manager at Thomas Nelson Publishers, managing the process of creating finished book products.
With a background in both business management and finance, I bring a well-rounded perspective to helping clients navigate their financial journeys.

1Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
