Portfolio Integration and Connecting the Financial Dots with Eric Lordi & Rose Palazzo

In this episode, Jack Sharry talks with Rose Palazzo and Eric Lordi from Morgan Stanley. Rose heads financial planning while Eric leads efforts across WealthDesk, a place for advisors to manage household portfolios. At Morgan Stanley, Rose and Eric have been instrumental in building the industry’s most comprehensive wealth management platform.

Creating a comprehensive ecosystem and saying goodbye to the more siloed industry standard is no easy feat. Eric and Rose have leaned on their prospective specialties to build a system that scales rather than a system where one person wears 10 hats and inevitably drops a few along the way.

Jack, Rose, and Eric discuss the magic and challenges of account integration, why integration benefits both client and advisor, and the future of financial technology.

“When we talk about moving from accumulation to decumulation, it actually really is the time when it’s most important for the portfolios to be working in concert with each other, as one sort of orchestra instead of being managed in pieces. We know that’s really critically important.” ~ Rose Palazzo
