Dynasty Partner Firm Scoops Ex-Morgan Stanley Advisor Team

Boston, MA-based Risk Paradigm Group, part of the Dynasty Financial Partners network, has taken on a three-member advisor team from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management's Tower group.

The trio comprises portfolio manager Travis Tucker, fixed income portfolio manager Don Brusca, and Stacy Bazylinski, a financial planner. The team is the second to join Risk Paradigm so far this year, following the addition of Boston-based ex-UBS advisor Sam Kiefer in February.

Prior to joining Risk Paradigm, Tucker was a first vice president and senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and a predecessor firm for 13 years. Brusca has been in the financial services industry for over 30 years and was latterly a senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley. He specializes in taxable and tax-exempt income strategies. Meanwhile, Bazylinski previously spent six years at Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor, having joined the Tower group in 2006. Before that she spent 10 years in private and public accounting.

Risk Paradigm was formed in 2011 and has offices in Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, and Boston, MA. At present, it has 20 employees and eight financial advisors.
