Our Mission Statement
Financial Planning Built For You
Our team is committed to providing a premier wealth management practice with an emphasis on helping families reach their personal and financial goals. We believe that implementing a personalized financial plan is the best way for families to accomplish both. Whether you're preparing for retirement, saving for a child's college education, or looking to buy a new home, a comprehensive plan that incorporates all aspects of your wealth should provide a helpful roadmap for keeping you on track towards those goals.
Working together starts with a conversation that goes beyond discussing finances. We strive to build a strong relationship with all clients by gaining a thorough understanding of their unique lifestyle, goals, and family. From there, we can build an optimal plan built on objective investment guidance. And as life changes in the future, we'll make the appropriate adjustments to fit your new situation.
We pride ourselves in being compassionate, attentive, and flexible financial advisors whom clients and families can trust as they manage their wealth for the long-term. Please contact us if you are interested.
Client Centric

Reaching your goals often involves going beyond investment advice - we provide a wide array of offerings and services centered on you and customized to help meet your needs, and provide access to specialists to help pursue specific goals.

About F. Thomas Schlappatha
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and sons as well as staying involved in the local community. Most of my community involvement extends to the Torrance Memorial Foundation, where I volunteer on the Professional Advisory Council. The hospital means a lot to me because my twins were born there and spent 7 weeks in the NICU. I also served on the board of Pop Warner and was the Torrance Little League Treasurer for four years and president for two when my twins were younger. My hobbies today include camping in my RV, going to concerts with my wife, traveling, and visiting my two grandkids.

About Jarrett Collins
Outside of the office, I like spending my free time with my girlfriend, whether we're trying new restaurants, going to comedy shows, or relaxing on the beach together. I do try my best to stay active by playing golf or basketball with buddies, but admittedly, I end up watching more sports than actually participating in nowadays. Although, I am lucky enough to attend plenty of LA Galaxy games with my 95-year-old Oma (German for grandma) who has season tickets.

Depending on the season, you can find us on a soccer field or a baseball field, cheering on our children and enjoying family life.

1Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
3Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
4When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
5Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment decisions.
6Fixed Income investing entails credit risks and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.
7Investors 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.
8Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
