    Icon Image
    Longevity Planning

    Given the rise in life expectancy, we help tailor allocation and income distribution strategies designed to preserve assets and help ensure your ability to have the income you need throughout your life. This includes review of 401(k) plan assets, annuities with income guarantees, life insurance and long-term care insurance plans.

    Icon Image
    Asset Growth and Protection Planning

    As asset managers, we strive to achieve the best possible investment returns in accordance with your desired level of risk. We offer a wide range of strategies that apply to long-held investment principles to help your assets appreciate so that you are able to provide the best education for your children and grandchildren, live the lifestyle you envision, and perhaps transfer your wealth to the next generation.

    Icon Image
    Risk Identification and Management

    Life's risks can minfest themselves in many ways- from loss of health to loss of life- and have the potential to impair the efficiency of a thoughtfully developed plan. We proactively address these concerns in a number of ways, ranging from liquidity strategies to insurance reviews.

    Icon Image
    Clear Communication

    We take the time to ask questions, listen carefully, and work to gain a clear understanding of your concerns, priorities, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, goals and financial situation. Once we know where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow, we work with you to develop a strategy that connects your personal goals with financial strategies. We understand the importance of frequent, clear communication and reach out to all our clients on a regular basis to keep abreast of changes in your life, track your progress, and adjust strategies as necessary.

    Icon Image
    Your Single Point of Contact

    We commit to being your single point of contact for all things financial. Our disciplined process begins with a thorough financial plan to understand your goals and concerns, which in turn, drives the strategies and services we tailor for you. We will collaborate with your accountant, estate planning attorney, and other professionals within our network to help ensure your plan remains comprehensive, cohesive, and coordinated.

    When 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.

    Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers insurance products and annuities in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.

    Since life insurance and long term care insurance are medically underwritten, you should not cancel your current policy until your new policy is in force. A change to your current policy may incur charges, fees and costs. A new policy will require a medical exam. Surrender charges may be imposed and the period of time for which the surrender charges apply may increase with a new policy. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding your potential tax liability on surrenders.

    Guarantees and contractual obligations are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

    Annuity contracts contain exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits and terms for keeping them in force.

Our Five Step Process

At Seasons Legacy Group, we adhere to a disciplined approach focused on providing our clients with clarity, long-term focus and confidence in their wealth management strategy. Our process centers around getting to know you and helping you find success in achieving your life goals.

This approach puts you at the center of our wealth management process and enables us to develop a more effective, customized plan to effectively work toward your goals.

    Icon Image
    3. Analysis and Plan Development

    We then utilize industry leading financial planning and investment management tools to develop a personalized and comprehensive financial plan with specific recommendations to help you preserve and grow your wealth.

    Icon Image
