My Process
As your life changes, not only does your financial strategy become more complex, but your options for implementing it increase as well. My goal is to create a wealth plan that is specifically tailored toward your goals and needs, both long and short term. I hope you will come to regard myself and my team as a trusted resource who help you make informed decisions about any financial issue you may encounter.
Step 1: Discovery
Discover your needs: I conduct a thorough discovery process to understand what is important to you, your risk tolerance, and review your complete financial picture and goals in order to help ensure that we are clear on your exact needs.
Step 2: Develop and Present
Presenting Your Plan: Once we have completed the discovery process, I will develop a personalized plan to meet your goals with input from various experienced professionals. I will present your personalized plan and help you visualize what your path to financial independence will look like as we work together to bring it to reality.
Step 3: Implement
Implementing Your Investment Strategy: Our newfound knowledge on your financial wealth and health will help us implement a tailored portfolio of best-in-class investments supported by the global investment resources of Morgan Stanley that best matches your unique needs. Goal based plannings, investment management, and cash management will be the foundational concepts of your strategy.

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.
