Asset Allocation and Portfolio Planning
We will work with you using a process that focuses on you and your goals, integrating investment decisions with your immediate financial needs and desired aspirations. This process encompasses four steps:
1 Personal Review
Before we can advise you, we must understand you and your goals. We will guide you through an extensive discovery process to identify your objectives, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other considerations that may play a role in shaping your investment strategy.
Download and complete the Personal Wealth Questionnaire
2 Asset Allocation and Portfolio Planning
Your input drives the development of a personalized financial strategy. Designed to help you meet your specific needs, it addresses areas such as retirement, education expenses, and tax minimization potential. When our analysis is complete, we will present to you an investment strategy that helps to identify appropriate diversification for your portfolio.
3 Implementation
After we have discussed and refined your strategy, we will work closely with you to bring the elements to life. Should we decide that outside money managers are appropriate for you, we will help you select from the hundreds of investment management firms available to you. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, we can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio.
4 Ongoing Communications and Reporting
We view ongoing communication as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. We will make every effort to keep abreast of your changing financial needs and provide viable strategies to help you meet them. This means reviewing your portfolio together at your request. When your circumstances change, we will work with you to revise your strategy and reposition your assets to reflect your new needs and goals.
Financial Planning
Our financial planning process begins with you, your investment objectives and your financial goals. Our holistic approach encompasses all the elements of your financial life — your investments and your cash management needs — making sure they align with your goals and wealth management plan.
The sophisticated suite of tools and extensive list of resources that Morgan Stanley offers allows us to implement a process and plan that translates your goals into reality.

About Andy Hartman
I am a Senior Vice President and valued team member of The Legacy Impact Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Across our team, we have over 55 years of extensive financial experience. The Legacy Impact Group distinguishes itself by focusing on the unique long-term financial goals of each client, then charting a path to help achieve what is important to them. Our team considers all aspects of our clients financial picture, we work like a family office, often collaborating with our clients CPA and trust and estate attorney. Using probability analysis our group helps educate investors that sequence of returns, tax efficiency and low cost investing is often more important to the end sum of money, rather than rate of return. The outcome creates an efficiency and increased success of achieving defined goals.
Educating clients about the discipline of investing rather than reacting out of emotion, is central to our team’s success. We take great pride in being in very close relationship with the small book of High Net Worth clients we choose to work with.
I’ve been in the industry for over 18 years and have extensive investment expertise in the area of Institutional Fixed Income. Trust, honesty, and integrity are values I live by and instill in everything I do. My husband and I live in San Rafael, love outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and are always up for traveling. Spending time with our two daughters, family, friends, and our Goldendoodle are most important to us.
