Since the late 1980’s when Elise joined Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, she has been advising high net worth and ultra high net worth corporate Founders and Insiders as well as Corporations. Her area of focus is in handling control and restricted securities – Rules 144, 145, 10b5-1 Plans, options, etc.
In early 2008 she was asked to become a Content Committee Member of FINRA – The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority – the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States.
She was ranked again this year as one of the Top Personal Financial Advisors in Connecticut Magazine by R.J. Shook, founder of The Winner’s Circle** and has been invited again to attend Barron’s Top Women Advisors Summit.
In mid 2008, Elise was given the great honor to move to the Citi Private Bank in Greenwich in the first ever co-location of a bank and broker-dealer. This brought an additional platform and services to clients of the Private Bank and Smith Barney.
Elise lives in Westchester County, NY with her husband, Jay Shartsis, author of ’Shartsis Option Alerts’ and her Saluki hounds. She is active in local and international charities and was appointed by the Westchester District Attorney to a special Task Force focusing on Animal Cruelty Prevention. She is presently working on two books.
