Community Involvement
American Cancer Society-New England Division
Fred currently sits as the Chairman of the board for the American Cancer Society's New England Division. He began his involvement with "ACS" in 1997 participating in the Making Strides Against Cancer walk in Boston. In 2008 Fred was recognized for his continued involvement when he was honored with the American Cancer Society's Sandra C. Labaree Award. Since then, Fred was a founding leader in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign which is a fundraising initiative to raise awareness that no one should face breast cancer alone.
Special Needs Athletic Partnership (SNAP)
Fred is a longstanding board member and volunteer of Hingham's Special Needs Athletic Partnership, or "SNAP" program. South Shore SNAP was created in 2014 when Hingham Sports Partnership and the Hingham Special Education Parent Advisory Council joined together to offer athletic and recreational activities for special needs kids in Hingham. Fred also coaches a youth soccer team within the program.
Hingham Sports Partnership
Fred has previously served as the President of the Hingham Sports Partnership, which has been increasingly growing to become one of the largest fund-raising organizations on the South Shore. During Fred’s tenure as HSP President, a Hingham High School sports complex overhaul was completed of the tennis courts, track, fields, concession building, stands, lights, and turf field. All of which started by a lead donation from HSP of $250,000 and support of raising $1,000,000 in total. As President, Fred led a group of 25 board members to organize three major annual fundraising events bringing the community together. Additionally, Fred organized the HSP scholarships every year which were given to graduating seniors at Hingham High School who demonstrated the qualities of sportsmanship and leadership.

8Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
9Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan's investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan's flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan's investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state's own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state's tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.

3When 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.

8Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
9Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan's investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan's flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan's investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state's own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state's tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
