The Wiley Group is Now Independent RIA
The Wiley Group ended a long relationship with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney to form a fully independent registered investment adviser.
As one of Morgan Stanley’s regional offices with approximately $200 million under management, the Wiley Group has a 25-year history serving with an array of retirement, wealth management, and concierge financial services. “We have been proud of our relationship with the outstanding professionals at Morgan Stanley but we sincerely believe that we will be better able to bring more transparency, clarity, cost efficiency and speed to our investors as an independent firm,” said Jim Wiley, chief executive officer, chief investment strategist, and founder of the Wiley Group.
