We deliver an exceptionally attentive level of service and dedicate ourselves to finding solutions to the challenges our clients face.

The term "Family Office Resources" is being used as a term of art and not to imply that Morgan Stanley and/or its employees are acting as a family office pursuant to Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Trust and Estate Planning and Business Succession

The key to determining which trust, tax and estate strategies to execute is to understand the interplay of personal and exogenous factors. Liquidity events such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition may provide income and estate planning opportunities. Liquidity events also magnify the need to put in place or update certain essential estate planning documents

Family Governance and Education

Too often, members of rising generations spend decades in silence. Having a mechanism in place such as a family mission statement, a family constitution or an investment policy statement can offer critical parameters and guidelines to make decisions as a collective. We work with you to find your way to becoming your own generation, with your own voice.

Lifestyle Services

The enjoyment of wealth means the most powerful benefits of a family office is the potential to help family members simplify their personal lives. We provide bespoke solutions and access to knowledgeable, highly personal specialists to help meet
your exceptional needs, from the everyday to the extraordinary, such as: travel and concierge services, health and security advisory, tangible asset management, personal enrichment, and financial administration.
Lifestyle Advisory Services: Products and services are provided by third party service providers, not Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC ("Morgan Stanley"). Morgan Stanley may not receive a referral fee or have any input concerning such products or services. There may be additional service providers for comparative purposes. Please perform a thorough due diligence and make your own independent decision.

5An 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.

Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.

7Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment.
