Arthur Podnos, Financial Advisor with The Bell Team at Morgan Stanley

Arthur Podnos, Financial Advisor with The Bell Team at Morgan Stanley I am a Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. I have now been with Morgan Stanley for more than 25 years.

With more than 40 years of industry experience, I focus on building custom portfolios and financial plans that are tailored to clients’ needs, personalities, and goals. As a graduate of Queens College of City University of New York, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Business and Accounting and then went on to earn an MBA in Finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I began my career as a Certifie

d Public Accountant (now retired) and Corporate Controller with firms in the entertainment and media industries. I later transitioned to a brokerage firm and a career as a Financial Advisor. In 1991, I joined Smith Barney, a Morgan Stanley predecessor firm. With decades of experience as a Certified Public Accountant, Corporate Controller, and Financial Advisor, I have excelled at managing finances at all levels of service. I help clients navigate a variety of financial complexities – from managing insurance liabilities to managing taxes and designing investment plans. As a Portfolio Manager, I am among a select group of Morgan Stanley advisors who conduct their own research and analysis, and are able to create highly customized investment strategies. But above all else, I am deeply committed to listening to clients’ needs and carefully crafting strategies that are tailored to their unique objectives, personalities, and risk tolerance.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity and privilege of working with so many wonderful clients. I will forever be grateful for the support and loyalty they have shown me over the years, but the time has come for me to retire (effective Wednesday, 4/30/2025). The professional relationship with my clients has been a very meaningful part of my life, and it has been a pleasure working with them.

I've been planning for the way this decision will impact my clients and want to assure them that The Bell Team at Morgan Stanley will continue to assist with their accounts.

The Bell Team at Morgan Stanley will be in touch soon with our clients to discuss the timeline and further details of the transition.

My hope is that our clients will work with The Bell Team for many years to come and that we may continue our personal relationships. They're in great hands!

Again, I want to say, "Thank You" to all who made my journey a success and wish you and your families good health and happiness always.
