Working With You
We use numerous tools to help implement customized plans.
Our discretionary strategies, offered through the Morgan Stanley Portfolio Group platform, range from portfolios featuring large-capitalization growth stocks with what we believe are attractive valuations, to portfolios in which we seek enhanced dividend yields and potential volatilities below that for the market.
In each strategy we select stocks using a combination of financial metrics, such as P/E ratio, free cash flow and balance sheet strength, as well as an evaluation of managements and the identification of catalysts. Analytical tools allow us to monitor industry concentrations and other portfolio characteristics, such as beta. Performance is measured real-time. We also construct bond ladders and other fixed income portfolios to compliment equity strategies and to help meet the individual income goals and risk preferences of our clients.
We are committed to customization and will work to ensure that your preferences are reflected in the composition of your portfolio. Tell us about a special tax issue and we’ll work with you and your tax adviser to help solve it. If there are stocks you’d like to avoid, for any reason, we’ll attempt to identify suitable substitutes.
Some of our clients prefer non-discretionary programs in which we help them structure portfolios, carefully evaluating their short- and long-term objectives and risk tolerance. We’ll look at asset correlations to balance potential returns against risk. Moreover, we often recommend, when it best suits the client, one or more outside managers that are selected for Morgan Stanley’s platform following rigorous analysis by the firm’s Consulting Group. We add our own overlay to manager evaluation by looking at historical returns, volatility, Sharpe ratios and other important metrics.

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.
