My Story and Services
Tom Huynh, a partner at The Napa Harvest Group within Morgan Stanley, is a Certified Financial Planner™ with over 11 years of industry experience. Based in our Oakland office, Tom serves as a key strategic advisor to a diverse clientele, including affluent families with global interests, technology executives from both private and public sectors, and successful real estate entrepreneurs.
Tom has taken great pride in crafting bespoke strategies tailored to the unique needs of each family he serves. He and his partners are deeply committed to simplifying the financial planning process, taking great honor in their ability to clearly articulate every detail and action item. Their approach is designed to ensure that clients fully understand their financial strategies and have well-defined expectations throughout their relationship.
Using a consultative approach to help him understand each client’s unique perspective and priorities, Tom utilizes both qualitative and quantitative factors to help clients achieve their goals and objectives. His commitment to fostering long-term relationships built on trust and transparency is a key reason families choose to work with him. He believes that collaborating closely with clients' CPAs and attorneys is essential for the seamless implementation and execution of financial plans.
Tom's experience in executive corporate financial services and equity compensation includes helping corporate insiders manage concentrated equity risks, develop predetermined trading plans (10b5-1), and plan philanthropic contributions. He provided guidance to families in managing the intricacies associated with having equity as a substantial part of their compensation, helping plan for both current and future goals.
For his clients who have a bi-continental presence, Tom actively engages in conversations about estate planning, and gifting strategies, tailoring his approach to accommodate changing policies. With most of his international clients based in Asia, he has developed a deep understanding of the complexities involved in managing both onshore and offshore assets of these families. This has allowed him to navigate the subtleties of cross-border relationships.
Before joining Morgan Stanley, Tom served as a Vice President - Senior Wealth Advisor at Citigroup Global Markets. At Citigroup, Tom advised first-generation affluent, international families, technology executives, and attorneys. Earlier in his career, he managed private banking services for both individuals and small businesses and focused on financial planning for high-net-worth clients. His career in finance began during his college years with internships in private wealth management and technology investment banking.
Tom, a native of the Bay Area, has deep connections to the East Bay, and he currently resides in Walnut Creek. Outside of work, he enjoys playing tennis, traveling, and exploring a variety of restaurants throughout the Bay Area.
Tom earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Statistics from the University of California, Davis.

Working With You and Your Family
Tom values each family he serves as a trust advisor, and he believes in fostering long-term relationships built on trust and mutual understanding. His most successful relationships are with families who seek advice and are willing to delegate some of their financial responsibilities.
Through exploratory conversations, Tom will bring to light strategies employed by other families that could be beneficial to consider. These strategies encompass various areas such as tax planning, estate planning, retirement planning, philanthropy, college funding, and public and private investment strategies.
When necessary, Tom leverages the expertise of other professionals within Morgan Stanley to provide specialize counsel to clients. These experts may include estate planning attorneys or portfolio managers of alternative funds. Tom recognizes the importance of collaborating with external professionals like CPAs and estate attorneys, as their insights and guidance are crucial in developing comprehensive financial solutions.
