    Retirement Planning
    Planning for retirement has never been easy, but in recent years, it's become increasingly difficult. Chances are, you're not covered by a defined benefit plan at work that provides known income payments at retirement. These plans have largely been replaced by 401(k) or other defined contribution plans that put the burden on you to make the right investment decisions.
    That's where your Financial Advisor and the Morgan Stanley Goals Planning System (GPS_ can help.

    Trust Services available through Morgan Stanley
    Wealth accumulation is followed by wealth preservation, which in turn is followed by wealth transition. The management of these three wealth phases requires careful planning and long-term commitment.
    Our trustee platform is “open architecture,” meaning that we provide you with access to an appropriate third-party corporate trustee for your trust account. Trust Specialists, within Morgan Stanley, analyze client trust documents and situations and then suggest a fiduciary solution for your needs and goal.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
