As a Morgan Stanley Corporate Retirement Director, my goal is to provide your 401(k) or 403(b) plan committee with the necessary support to manage a successful retirement plan. I can also assist with executive deferred compensation plans.

I can offer a range of advisory services, including but not limited to: plan review for fees, performance & service, monitoring of investment fund performance, safe harbor plan design, participant retirement readiness education, acting as a 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary, and overall guidance on investment policy statements.
    Why Your Defined Contribution Plan May Need A Financial Advisor
    Sponsoring a defined contribution plan is more than just time consuming and complicated — it also places legal responsibilities on you as the plan’s fiduciary. Given the expertise and specialization required to manage your plan, the first and most important question you should consider is whether you need the assistance of a professional to provide you the necessary support in managing a successful retirement plan.
    Why Work with a Corporate Retirement Director
    Selecting Morgan Stanley as Your ERISA Section 3(38) Investment Manager
    A qualified, properly appointed, and monitored ERISA Section 3(38) Investment Manager allows plan fiduciaries to be shielded from potential liability related to investment decisions concerning their qualified retirement plans.

    When choosing a fiduciary to work with your retirement plan, we believe that it is important to align with a firm that has the size, strength and resources available to meet your needs today and in the future.
