About

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (MSWM) is an SEC-registered investment adviser and broker-dealer that delivers a wide array of advisory programs to individuals and institutional clients, including tailored financial planning through its Financial Advisors and Estate Planning Strategies Group. In the financial planning brochure MSWM reports managing approximately $2.74 trillion in client assets and offers plans both directly to individuals and under Corporate Financial Planning agreements with employers.

MSWM’s financial planning process is centered on a structured discovery conversation and firm‑approved planning tools; the brochure notes plans may use the Global Investment Committee’s Secular Return Estimates and Monte Carlo simulations to model outcomes, and the service does not provide individual security recommendations as part of the standalone planning program. The brochure also emphasizes that clients are responsible for implementing and updating plans, and that MSWM generally acts in an advisory capacity for planning but will not be an ERISA fiduciary for retirement accounts unless separately engaged in writing.

Alongside the common large‑firm features described in the brochure (wrap programs, affiliated broker‑dealer, broad retail and institutional offerings), MSWM’s broader ADV disclosures point to several less common activities for firms of this type, including relationships with investment companies and private funds, an affiliated commodity pool operator (Ceres Managed Futures LLC), and principal trading and structured‑product activities through its parent. The brochure also discloses multiple regulatory settlement matters and indicates that certain other advisory arrangements described in the firm’s broader ADV filings may include performance‑based fees and additional financial product sales.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
