Working With You
As your dedicated wealth management advisor, my role is to tailor a personalize financial strategy which fits your needs. In my experience working with clients, we have developed a step-by-step approach to service:
Step 1: Introductory Meeting
Our relationship begins with an initial discussion aimed towards getting to know you, your lifestyle and your future goals.
Step 2: Discovery Meeting
During the discovery meeting, we will work together to establish your financial goals by reviewing your current financial situation and developing an appropriate risk tolerance that can help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.
Step 3: Financial Plan Presentation
Financial plan presentations map our essential factors that play into your financial success such as your employee and employer contributions, liquidity events, and insurance coverage. Examining relevant financial information provides a holistic asset allocation analysis for your accounts, helping ensure a comprehensive financial plan.
Step 4: Action Items/Next Steps
After the financial plan presentation, I will follow up with you regarding our analysis and recommendations, which may include adjustments to your financial plan, investment allocation, company benefits and insurance coverage.
Step 5: Implementation Meeting
The implementation meeting focuses on creating prospective strategies custom designed for your specific needs. Recommended changes could include logistics, tax impact, asset allocation adjustments, and saving/benefit modifications.
Step 6: Monitoring and Tracking Performance
Finally, I will be constantly monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data seeking to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. I will keep a high degree of communication with you to make sure your concerns and requests are always addressed.
ANSWERING YOUR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS
From rolling over your 401(k) to understanding various types of investments, I am here to answer your financial questions and implement the best strategies for your specific goals and circumstances. Here are just a few of the questions I help my clients answer every day:
What are the benefits of rolling over my 401(k)?
Your retirement assets may represent a substantial source of your future retirement income and there are many factors you should consider in determining whether to roll over your assets. You can avoid paying immediate taxes and continue to grow your retirement savings tax-deferred by rolling over your 401(k) funds into an IRA. Additionally, an IRA can give you more control and investment options than your previous 401(k) plan offered.
What is active management?
Active investing allows advisors to adjust their clients' portfolios to align with prevailing market conditions. It also allows investors to take advantage of short-term trading opportunities that are not standard with passive management. Actively managed portfolios help advisors meet the specific needs of their clients, such as providing diversification, retirement income or a targeted investment return.
How do I manage risk in my portfolio?
There are two primary types of risk: market risk and business risk. While market risk consists of factors that affect the overall market and cannot be controlled, we can help you manage business risk, which affects a specific group of securities or individual securities. By gaining a deeper understanding of your risk tolerance and diversifying your portfolio, I can help you manage the risks you can control.
What is the difference between ETFs and mutual funds?
ETFs and mutual funds are investments that provide built-in diversification. Both track indexes, however, ETFs tend to be more liquid and cost effective as they trade directly on exchanges the way that normal shares of stock would. Both investments are taxed on gains and losses each year, but ETFs tend to be more tax efficient. Since they engage in less internal trading, they create fewer taxable events.
INDIVIDUAL PLANS FOR INDIVIDUALS LIKE YOU
A well-built strategic wealth plan should incorporate the most appropriate and effective wealth management strategies available to you, so that your resources benefit the people and the causes you care about. To develop such a plan, you need to carefully consider what you have and your specific circumstances, the effect of taxes, and how to structure your wealth and any contributions to support the future you envision — all while avoiding family conflict and unnecessary, expensive administrative burdens. Take a look at some of the modern wealth management tools I will leverage to enhance your financial plan, and help you take charge of your financial future.

1When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Investors 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.
