My Goal-Based Process

Our process focuses on what is important to you, your family and your legacy. Through each step, we provide objective advice and investment insights to construct a wealth management plan that is uniquely yours.
    Icon Image
    Step 1: Introduction
    We begin with an informal discussion to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we will schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.
    Icon Image
    Step 2: Discovery
    We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you’ve prepared and define your priorities.
    Icon Image
    Step 3: Asset Transfer
    With your approval, we begin to transfer your assets to Morgan Stanley. Once transferred, we begin our goals-based financial planning process.
    Icon Image
    Step 4: Analysis & Plan Development
    Utilizing proprietary tools and insights from Morgan Stanley, we develop a personalized financial plan that integrates all of your available assets into one integrated plan.
    Icon Image
    Step 5: Plan Presentation & Implementation
    In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we will initiate the investment recommendations and begin to implement the additional strategies we’ve discussed. These often encompass risk management, as well as estate and legacy planning strategies.
    Icon Image
    Step 6: Ongoing Service
    Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that provides special value to you and your family. As we begin to execute each strategy, we’ll set up tools so you have immediate access to your account information. And because markets and personal needs evolve over time, we set up ongoing meetings to ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your goals.

Customized Solutions

As your wealth grows, so does its complexities and the resources needed to manage it effectively. We leverage our experience and relationships to deliver innovative strategies that are tailored to your needs. We look forward to speaking with you to understand your challenges, so we may map out a strategy to achieve your particular priorities and goals.

    Wealth Management
    Wealth management brings all the dimensions of your life together. We listen carefully to understand the connections across your personal life, your family, your career, and your legacy goals to develop an integrated strategy that is uniquely yours.
    Icon Image
    Retirement Planning
    One of our key areas of strength is helping you prepare for and thrive in retirement. From IRAs to RMDs, we manage the complexities of your comprehensive retirement plan assets, helping you easily transition to the next phase of your life with security and confidence.
    Icon Image
    Estate Planning Strategies
    Delivering an estate to the next generation or favorite charity requires more attention than families often realize. We coordinate with your estate and tax professionals to align your legacy goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designation requirements, incorporating best practices to help enhance results.
    Icon Image
    Business Succession Planning
    Owning a business represent years, if not decades, of hard work and entrepreneurial savvy. Yet, even the most astute business owners are often unfamiliar with the complexities that go into a successful succession strategy. We understand your succession in the context of your overall financial picture. We also work closely with your other advisors to help ensure your priorities are reflected in your succession strategy.
    Icon Image
    Life Insurance
    Life’s risks can manifest themselves in many ways – from loss of life to loss of health – and have the potential to impair the efficiency of a thoughtfully developed plan. We proactively help address these concerns in a number or ways, ranging from insurance reviews to liquidity strategies.

    Disclaimer:
    Life insurance, disability income insurance, and long-term care insurance are offered through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC's licensed insurance agency affiliates.
