My Approach
As a Certified Financial Planner®, I follow a six-step process when it comes to wealth management.
1. Defining Our Relationship
I believe it is important for you to have a clear understanding of my approach, the services that I provide and the costs associated with doing business with myself and Morgan Stanley. It is also necessary for you to be an active participant if we are to achieve financial success for you and your family.
2. Gathering Information
It is imperative that I learn about your overall financial situation and work with you to define your personal goals, needs and priorities. I want to learn about your family, your business and your philanthropic endeavors as well.
3. Analyzing and Evaluating
Next, I go through the process of analyzing your current investment strategy, taking into consideration a number of assumptions, such as your desired retirement age and income needs, and evaluate how economic factors like inflation rates and investment returns may impact your unique situation.
4. Presenting Recommendations
In addition to utilizing the tools of the Morgan Stanley platform, I draw on my extensive experience to build a customized plan designed to help grow and preserve your wealth. It is my duty to identify the opportunities and solutions that are appropriate for you and to share those ideas with you.
5. Implementing My Recommendations
Once we agree on a strategy, I will then spearhead the process of implementing the plan and explaining the necessary activities, associated costs and expectations along the way.
6. Monitoring Our Performance
After the plan is in place, it then becomes my responsibility to help you keep your plan on track. The plan will evolve over time as your life changes or as various market conditions impact your strategy. I believe in proactive communication and keeping you informed throughout the course of our relationship.
My Approach
