Working with You

Our relationship-and your financial future-begins with an in-depth conversation about you-your family, your aspirations and, most importantly, your vision of the future. Using the resources of Morgan Stanley, we construct your portfolio and closely monitor it moving forward. We make adjustments whenever necessary to keep it aligned with your goals, and always ensure you're comfortable with a change before enacting it. Take a look at our process.

Financial Planning Strategy

Starting the Conversation
At the heart of our relationship, we use a holistic approach to financial planning that places your lifestyle, family, and long-term financial goals at the center of our strategy. We want to get a clear understanding of where you stand in order to develop the right plan that will help you achieve your financial goals. Our aim is to empower you by providing the flexibility and peace of mind you need to navigate through the twists and turns of life.

Asking the Right Questions
After our initial meeting, we will develop a tailored wealth management strategy that is centered around your unique circumstances. By asking you the right questions, we will be able to fully understand your needs and collect the relevant information to follow up with concise changes.

Construction of a Personalized Plan
Through a fully customized approach, we assist you in determining the appropriate asset allocation and investment strategy that can help reach your goals. We consider your current situation, long-term goals, legal and regulatory constraints, liquidity needs, expected tax status, risk and other variables towards the construction of your portfolio.

Taking Affirmative Action
We take pride in our ability to provide exceptional support to you as we implement your new plan. Our staff stands ready to deliver expert guidance and support no matter what your situation is. Furthermore, we actively collaborate with our external partners to ensure that every plan is implemented effectively.

Transparent Collaboration
As part of our process, we offer periodic review meetings to assess and rebalance your portfolio in accordance with your stated goals. We recognize that external factors such as financial market conditions, regulations and taxes are in a constant state of flux; as a result, we come up with the necessary response to keep your portfolio on track.

    About Rocco Vernisi

    Making money is hard, but preserving that wealth and maximizing its growth and income can be even harder. As your financial success increases, so does the complexity of managing it. Having a game plan and a professional to help quarterback that game plan for you and your family can simplify your financial life and free you to focus on what you do best.

    I work with successful individuals and families who need someone to quarterback their financial lives and help protect the future they are building. The centerpiece of my client relationships is a detailed financial plan that explores every aspect of your financial life in the context of your needs, wants, wishes and goals. I believe financial planning is critical to producing the customized game plan your family needs to preserve, grow and protect your wealth.

    As your financial quarterback, I work diligently to ensure the game plan we create together is in line with your goals and values. My years as an NCAA Division I quarterback have given me the foundation of discipline needed to execute your game plan, while always keeping my eye on the ball and the big picture. I combined my knowledge and experience with the planning tools, research, cash management solutions and alternative investment platform of one of the world’s leading financial firms to create your customized plan and bring it to life. Together, we will seek to maximize investment opportunities using all the tools Morgan Stanley has at its disposal.

    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.
