Richard Alan Vise

We begin our process by discussing what is important for you, your family, and your legacy. We'll then work to identify any circumstances which are unique to your personal situation. After we've established your objectives, I'll provide you with an overview of important investment concepts and our investment philosophy as it pertains to your objectives.

After your goals and objectives have been established, we begin our data collection stage. At this point I will work with you to gather financial statements, relevant outside data, and, if applicable, your business balance sheet. Using the information we uncover, we will analyze your current asset allocation strategy and provide our draft(s) of your financial plan- leveraged through Morgan Stanley's proprietary data, insights, and financial tools.

Disclosures:
Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining financial market.

Based on our initial conversation, I will develop a tailored and cohesive financial plan designed to balance your attitudes as an investor, risks and opportunities in your profile, and an analysis of the financial markets. With your input, I will then present appropriate investment options and wealth management recommendations that work in tandem to help seek to preserve and grow your wealth.

Upon your approval, I will work diligently to help ensure a seamless implementation of the various elements of your financial plan, finetuning each part to adjust for changing circumstances. Wherever appropriate, I will consult with other professional individuals in your dedicated circle and suggest that you seek additional advice from subject matter experts on particularly complex issues.

I am committed to keeping you abreast of any changing market conditions and delivering performance metrics, ultimately seeking to help ensure that your plan continues to align with your goals and your timeline. I work with a select number of clients, allowing for a high degree of communication with you to help ensure that your concerns and requests are being addressed in a timely manner.
