WORKING WITH YOU
There are many reasons why our clients choose us but here are our main 3:
- We are a trusted team with an independent point of view. We offer an unbiased approach to investment selection with our financial incentives aligned with yours.
- We deliver greater confidence to our clients. We'll give investment plans and frequent communications tailored to your needs. We'll always be accessible and easy to reach.
- We help simplify your life. We want to free up the time you spend managing your wealth. We'll facilitate this by coordinating planning with your other advisors.
When we work together, you benefit from personalized advice, objective guidance, and dedication to your success as an investor. Our goals-based wealth management approach will address key areas of your financial life beyond traditional investments and may incorporate diverse recommendations for helping build and preserve your wealth. Here we've outlined our approach when working with you:
Setting Your Financial Objectives
Our process begins with a detailed conversation that identifies what is truly important to you. During this meeting, we'll ask a series of questions to provide an in-depth understanding of your personal, professional and financial situation, while educating us about your long-term investment goals, time horizon and tolerance for risk. If you own a business, we may also discuss your current cash management needs and plans for growth.
Developing Your Strategy
From this ongoing dialogue, we'll analyze your current situation and begin to develop specific strategies to help achieve your goals. This analysis will address income and retirement planning, investment management, strategic borrowing, wealth transfer and business succession planning. Your customized plan will also include an asset allocation strategy designed to help achieve your financial goals in light of your risk tolerance and investment time horizon. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining financial market.
Implementing Your Strategy
Once you've approved your plan, we will begin to execute each strategy, working closely with you to help ensure each of the various elements of your plan effectively integrate with one another. Wherever appropriate, we will suggest seeking in-depth advice from professionals on particularly complex issues we've identified, such as estate planning and tax minimization strategies. Whatever approach we implement, we will help keep your strategy on track.
Reviewing Your Performance
You will receive a quarterly review that outlines your portfolio's performance, helping you track your progress. Moreover, when your personal situation or market conditions change significantly, we will suggest appropriate adjustments to your portfolio to help it remain aligned with your goals.
The Planning Process
To reach your goals, you need a wealth plan informed by a comprehensive assessment of your current budget and finances, clear objectives and sound advice that puts you in the center of the process. I use a four-step Goals Planning System (GPS) to create your personal roadmap towards financial achievement and protection.
- Discover: Understand your values, objectives and quantify your goals.
- Advise: Create a tailored wealth plan to help keep you on track.
- Implement: Add value with tax-aware and cost-sensitive capabilities.
- Track Progress: Know where you stand and adjust to your changing needs and the environment that changes around you. Using advanced technology and years of industry experience, allows me to develop a plan that includes not only investments, but also ways to help mitigate investment-related taxes, manage your everyday finances and address borrowing needs. Plus, the I will provide regular progress updates so you can see whether your savings and spending habits are in line with your goals – making it easier for you to stay the course.
LifeView - Intelligent Planning
LifeView is a suite of planning tools that includes goal-specific analysis that I can use to create a realistic, holistic strategy that integrates the various aspects of an individual's financial life, including investments and cash management needs.
Goals Planning System
The Goals Planning System (GPS) is an innovative platform built on Morgan Stanley's intellectual capital and capabilities, to provide clients with comprehensive investing and planning solutions for their individual goals.

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.

6Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
