Jason Noakes, Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley

05/01/2026

I am incredibly proud to announce the promotion of Margaret George to Wealth Management Associate.

Margaret has been a cornerstone of our team since I joined in 2016, but her legacy at Morgan Stanley goes back even further to 2004. For over two decades, she has dedicated herself to navigating the complex needs of ultra-high-net-worth families with a level of care and precision that is rare in this industry.

In her new role, Margaret will take an even larger lead in shaping our client service model and executing the sophisticated financial planning and portfolio strategies our clients rely on. Her deep experience and "client-first" mindset ensure that our families continue to receive the dedicated, high-level support they deserve.

Please join me in congratulating Margaret on this well-deserved achievement!

NEW SEASON, SAME GOAL

It's a new season, with a new landscape and a new outlook, and yet the goal of the 1815 Group remains the same: delivering consistent, powerful results regardless of environment.

02/24/2026

In a financial world that often feels too loud, we believe there is a specific strength in being understated.

Our brand is built on appreciative, unpretentious service. It's a Midwest sensibility we share with Stan Musial—a man who was one of the greatest players of his generation but also known as baseball's perfect gentleman. Stan didn't need to be the loudest person in the room to be the most effective; he focused on the craft, his teammates, and the results.

At the 1815 Group, we take that same approach. We provide a proactive, respectful partnership because we believe high-level wealth management should be delivered by people you actually want to work with.

Service isn't a slogan; it's a discipline. In a world of noise, we focus on the follow-through. The 1815 Group at Morgan Stanley: Grounded in St. Louis, built for the long haul.

02/17/2026

In an era of automation and increasing uncertainty, we still believe the most valuable thing we can offer is a real conversation.

The world can feel unpredictable, and often, the sheer volume of "noise" becomes a distraction from what actually matters. At the 1815 Group, we know that a truly durable strategy isn't built by following the latest headline. It's built through listening, understanding your story, and the collective experience of a team that stays grounded when the environment shifts.

For us, collaboration is how we filter out that noise and ensure our clients feel seen and heard. While we lean on one another's perspectives to see the full picture, we also embrace the power of technology to stress-test our thinking. We use these tools to help ensure your plan is time-tested and resilient enough to handle an unpredictable environment.

But a plan is only as good as the people standing behind it. Since the pandemic, it feels like the standards for service and follow-up have slipped across many industries. We believe our team function is our greatest accountability tool: we do what we say we are going to do. By combining human insight with advanced resources, we aren't just managing assets; we are helping protect the legacies of the families we serve here in St. Louis.

I'm honored to be included in Morgan Stanley's Century Club this year. I've always believed that intentionality in every detail is the foundation of first-class service, and I'm grateful for the recognition. Most of all, I appreciate the continued trust of my clients as we work together toward securing their most important life milestones.

In the Midwest, we believe the strength of any structure is found in the integrity of its foundation.

It is a standard of craft that isn't just about showing up—it's about the precision and discipline you bring to the job every day. At the 1815 Group, we've built our practice on that level of reliability. We believe a financial plan shouldn't just work when conditions are perfect; it needs to be durable and time-tested enough to perform in any environment.

To maintain that standard, we are constantly looking to strengthen our foundation with specialized experience. That is why I am incredibly excited to announce that Sean Adams will be officially joining our practice this March to lead our financial planning efforts.

Sean joins us from Dallas, Texas, where he has served as a Financial Planning Director for Morgan Stanley's Private Wealth Management practices since 2021. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and a Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA®), Sean brings a level of technical mastery that deepens our ability to build strategies designed for the long haul.

The result for our clients:

A strategy is only as resilient as the planning behind it. By integrating Sean's background in complex private wealth strategies into our existing framework, we are doubling down on our commitment to eliminate blind spots and provide a truly complete perspective for the families we serve in St. Louis and beyond.

Please join me in welcoming Sean to the 1815 Group as we look forward to his official start this March.

In St. Louis, we know that individual talent can win a game, but depth wins the season.

At the 1815 Group, our commitment to building durable, time-tested strategies for our clients is backed by the global strength of Morgan Stanley.

While our team provides the personal, intentional focus our clients expect, Morgan Stanley provides the engine. As the firm continues to define the leadership category in wealth management, we are able to bring that massive scale and institutional depth directly to the families we serve here at home.

The advantage of this partnership is clear:

• Elite Intel: We leverage world-class research to eliminate blind spots in our strategies.

• Fortress Stability: Our local strategies are built on a global platform designed for resilience.

• Innovation at Scale: We have access to category-leading tools that keep our clients ahead of the curve.

We believe that to go further, you need the right people around the table—and the strongest resources in the game behind them.

There is a specific standard of reliability we've come to expect in the Midwest.

It's the idea that the best way to lead is to be a "teammate first"—someone who shows up with the same level of discipline and character regardless of the environment.

At the 1815 Group, we've built our practice on that philosophy. In fact, our name is a nod to that very standard: the rare level of consistency achieved by Stan Musial, who finished his career with an identical 1,815 hits both at home and on the road.

To us, that symmetry is the goal for every client strategy.

We believe a financial plan shouldn't just work when conditions are perfect. It needs to be balanced and stress-tested to perform in any environment. We achieve that through intentional teamwork. By incorporating a variety of viewpoints, we eliminate the blind spots that a solo perspective might miss.

We aren't looking for one lucky swing. We are building a legacy of consistency for the families we serve.
