RETIREMENT PLANNING IS MORE CRUCIAL THAN EVER

Retirement issues are a major source of concern today. Longer life expectancies mean your retirement may last nearly as long as your career and rising health care costs may make your retirement increasingly expensive. Meanwhile, the uncertain future of Social Security and changes in corporate retirement plans may leave individuals responsible for funding their own retirement.

As the realities of retirement change, retirement planning is more important than ever. That's why it is important to have a Financial Advisor who can provide a holistic approach to helping you plan for the next phase of your life – an approach that factors in your financial picture.

While you're still working and building your savings, we can help you determine how you want to spend your retirement – and how much it could cost. This analysis can help quantify your retirement needs, factoring in your current and projected income and assets, and uncover potential shortfalls, showing you ways to address them. We can then help you create a saving and investment plan, monitoring and quantifying your progress toward your retirement goals.

As you transition into retirement, we can work with you to develop a sound plan to help you achieve the lifestyle you desire. At this stage, your focus shifts from saving for retirement to funding your retirement, drawing on your savings as well as the income from your investments. We will continue to monitor your activity to help assure that your retirement income continues to meet your expectations, that your spending is in line with your strategy and that you have enough money to realize your retirement goals.

Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC ("Morgan Stanley"), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice and are not "fiduciaries" (under the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise) with respect to the services or activities described herein except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Morgan Stanley. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors regarding any potential tax and related consequences of any investments made under such account.
