Focusing on You
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
Our Capabilities
We help people in every stage of life. From help tackling college costs, to taking full advantage of your stock options and retirement plan, to anywhere in between, we have solutions.
Portfolios that harness Morgan Stanley's industry-leading advice, resources and risk management—calibrated to your specific goals.
A solution that may help you execute planned giving, offer an efficient way to donate complex and illiquid assets, and simplify charitable giving reporting while potentially mitigating taxes. Bring philanthropy into your wealth plan and help amplify the impact of your giving through the Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust (MS GIFT).
