Discover, Design & Deliver

Our "3D" Process

Phase 1 is the Discovery phase where seek to understand your needs, wants, and challenges. We also assess you current circumstances to get the "lay of the land" and identify any potential gaps.

Phase 2 is the Design phase where we brainstorm ideas. One size does NOT fit all. We design client-specific solutions. To draw an analogy from home building, sometimes the engagement calls for new construction and sometimes it simply calls for renovations or improvements. Just as a builder uses a combination of materials in construction, we use a range of investment products such as:

  • Traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and cash
  • Insured solutions such as annuities and insurance
  • Banking and lending solutions
  • Alternative investments such as gold, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure

Phase 3 is the Delivery phase where we implement the agreed upon plan. We then schedule routine check-ins to monitor progress and update the plan, as needed. This is a service oriented business. We want you to feel like a guest in our hotel.

8Investors 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.
