My Story and Services

A 20+ year career in Morgan Stanley has afforded me a unique global, regional and local perspective on financial markets and investing.

Throughout my career clients have been a central focus. Understanding their needs, educating them on macro, industry and company developments has been infinitely rewarding. Strategic engagement with boards, C-Suite executives and labour groups was also part of the daily repertoire.

My approach to wealth advisory service will draw on these skills as well as leveraging unique research, ESG overlays, investment strategies and institutional investment capabilities at Morgan Stanley. I value strong and trusting relationships that are built on communication and collaboration.

Bringing the global scale and resources of Morgan Stanley to the table is a major differentiator, and I greatly value the opportunity to help clients build wealth, maintain portfolios and deliver on investment objectives.

Beyond the financial world, I enjoy an outdoor lifestyle of family, friends and fitness with a special interest in live music. I also aim to be actively involved in the community, through philanthropy and volunteering activities in education, health and environmental areas.

Experience

Penny’s career in Morgan Stanley equity research in both Sydney and London saw her navigate many market cycles, shocks and deal-making across a variety of companies, industries and jurisdictions. In her role in Sydney, she covered both the TMT (technology, media, and telecom) and transport sectors involving in-depth company and technology analysis, financial transactions such as IPOs and M&A activity and corporate and client advisory.

Moving to London in 2004, she led the EMEA Airline franchise and ultimately expanded this to freight, logistics and infrastructure companies over the following 15 years. Her role also involved steering the Global Transport team, involving collaborative projects across Asia, Europe and the Americas regions. As part of the role she was able to bring clients a unique global perspective on investment themes as well as broad corporate access events and education opportunities.

In recent years, she turned her attention to connecting her industry knowledge to wider macro and socially responsible investing themes –
