OUR SIX-STEP PROCESS
As your dedicated wealth management team, our role is to tailor a personalized financial strategy which fits your needs. In our experience working with clients, we have developed a step-by-step approach to service:
1. Introductory Call
We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we’ll schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.
2. Get To Know You Meeting
We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you’ve prepared and define your priorities.
3. Financial & Estate Plan Development
Here, we utilize proprietary financial and estate planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed plan with recommendations to help you grow, preserve and transfer your wealth.
4. Implementation
In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and initiate our investment recommendations. We’ll also begin to implement other strategies we’ve discussed. These often encompass tax minimization strategies, as well as risk management and estate planning techniques.
5. Plan Monitoring
Holistic plans change over time as your personal and family situations change. We are here to revisit your plan regularly to make tactical changes to help meet the needs of our ever-changing situations and environment.
6. Ongoing Service
Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that provides special value to you and your family. As we begin to execute each strategy, we’ll set up tools so you have immediate access to your account information. And because markets and personal needs evolve over time, we set up ongoing meetings to help ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your goals.
