While the strategies and solutions we provide are broad in scope, our approach is tailored to specific needs. We deliver the personalized attention you expect, as we build a structured plan focused on achieving your financial and legacy goals. Here is a brief overview of the solutions we offer:
    Icon Image
    Risk Identification and Management
    Life's risks can manifest themselves in many ways --from loss of life to loss of health - and have the potential to impair the efficiency of a thoughtfully developed plan. We proactively help address these concerns in a number of ways, ranging from insurance reviews to liquidity strategies.
    Icon Image
    Legacy Planning
    Delivering an estate to the next generation or favorite charity requires more attention than families often commit. Coordinating with outside estate tax professionals, we align estate planning goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designation requirements, while incorporating tax minimization strategies to help enhance results.
    Icon Image
    Lifestyle Management
    We pay particular attention to the timing of milestone events, as well as spending patterns to offer you a set of lifestyle guidelines that help assure your retirement - and other key goals - are not compromised. We understand that the needs of corporate executives are different than those of business owners and will offer strategies specific to your personal situation.

    Longevity Planning
    Given extended life expectancy, we help tailor allocation and income distribution strategies to help you preserve assets, whether they are held at Morgan Stanley or other firms. This includes advice on 401(k) plan assets, life insurance and long-term care plans.
    Icon Image
    Asset Growth and Preservation
    Asset management aims to achieve the best possible investment returns that are consistent with your level of risk. We offer a wide range of strategies that apply long-held investment principles to help your assets appreciate appropriately. We embrace conflict-free decision making within a cost-effective structure.

    Risks to Your Retirement
    Once you determine what kind of retirement you want, we will work together to take a closer look at the risks that might be standing between you and your retirement goals. No matter how well you save during the accumulation phase, it’s critical to plan how you convert those assets to income. We can help you navigate the challenges that may arise.

    The Psychological Transition into Retirement
    Most retirement preparations focus on financial planning, but it is equally crucial to look at personal considerations and help you with easing the fear of the unknown. Given that many people overlook the psychological adjustments of retirement, we can help you understand why it’s important to be emotionally (not just financially) ready for retirement.
    Icon Image
    Impact of Taxes
    The strategies you use when drawing down your retirement savings can have a significant impact on how much you’ll pay in taxes and may help you keep more of the returns. Each retiree’s situation is different but establishing a tax management strategy for your investments can help you retain more of your investment returns.

1Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.

7An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
