Working With You
Our group works together as a team to provide you with the resources and advice necessary to make informed decisions about your financial wellbeing. Planning is the foundation of our process and is the basis for a sound financial strategy. Our steps for holistic financial planning are as follows:
Initial Interview - We meet to discuss what is important to you now, and in the future. We gain an understanding about the resources and plan you currently have.
Information Gathering- Account statements, company retirement plans, insurance policies and wills are included in the documents we will review. We assess your financial status and begin formulating goal setting strategies.
Analysis & Plan Preparation- Detailed comprehensive analysis of your financial situation is developed and financial strategies are considered. Recommendations are developed and a financial plan is written utilizing Morgan Stanley's proprietary software.
Plan Presentation- We will meet to review our findings. Our next steps are reviewed, costs are explained, investment philosophy is discussed, your input is solicited and a strategy is mutually agreed upon.
Plan Implementation- Paperwork is approved, accounts are opened and securities transferred. Appropriate investments are selected in areas that complement your portfolio strategy.
Ongoing Reviews- We deem this to be a life-long process. Open communication throughout the year is an important element to maintaining a successful relationship. Meetings are established by client needs but are usually held semi-annually, with calls in the interim.

For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you.

3The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
4Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
5Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available.
