Our Story and Services

We bring almost 57 years of combined experience and education to you. Our main goal is to help you succeed. We care about you and we value your trust. Our relationship with our clients is the key to what we do every day and the key to our success. Interacting with you and hearing your story is the focus. When you are successful we are there to celebrate with you and when you need help navigating a rough road we do all that we can to smooth it out by helping you find new ways around detours and pot holes. We build our relationship by listening to you and developing actionable solutions to complex problems. Your interests will always be ahead of ours.

The main cornerstone of our practice is our process: we start with a plan. As with any journey, you begin at a point on a map or a picture in time. From that point you develop a road map towards reaching your financial destination. Everyone's map is a little different, so we take the time to understand your risk tolerance and your financial goals as well as your life goals.

We have three objectives that we set out to meet when managing your portfolio. The first objective in order of importance is managing the risk in your portfolio. We know that helping preserve your wealth during challenging markets is a priority to you and to us as well. There are tools that we deploy to help with this process. We are backed by a global firm that has spent years developing tools just so we can help you. The second objective is your investment success. We don't chase the market; we strategize and proactively build your portfolio based on your risk tolerance and goals. The third objective is tax efficiency. We know that this is an important issue and we do our best to manage this effectively.

Our service model is to be proactive and striving to exceed your expectations. In our conversations with you we learn what is important to you and stay current with what's happening in your life. We do our best to offer solutions ahead of time so that you have the information you need when you need it. As a team we collaborate and communicate so that all of us stay up to date with what you need. We educate and stand by you so that you can make informed decisions that can leave you confident and empowered to live your life.

The most important message for you to know is that we care; we are here to help you and want you to be successful.

About Ryan McGaughy

Ryan began his investment career in 1999 as a Financial Advisor with Prudential Securities in Seattle, Washington. The firm was later bought by Wachovia Bank. Soon after, in 2004, Ryan moved to Morgan Stanley in the Bellevue, Washington branch. After a year of working in this branch, his daughter Lindsay was born. It was then decided that the family would move back home to Olympia, Washington. Ryan has been working for Morgan Stanley here in Olympia since. Over this time, he has formed a team with Susan Furman. His primary responsibilities include managing client assets, maintaining client relationships, on-boarding new client relationships, and working with the other team members to provide a very comprehensive package of financial services to clients.
 
Ryan holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration from Central Washington University. After many years of working as a Financial Advisor, Ryan worked for a few years to become a Chartered Financial Consultant. He has since continued to maintain the ChFC with the necessary education. Further, Ryan has completed the requirements to become a Portfolio Manager.
 
Upon graduating from CWU in 1991, Ryan worked in the mortgage business for a few years. Ryan then made a large career shift and worked as a counselor and later, Program Manager for youth at risk in Olympia. When he felt that he had finished what was needed, Ryan made his way back to his passion and became a Financial Advisor. He has since maintained his interest in the needs of youth at risk in the community. He and his wife, Cheryl, have also served some time as Foster Parents.
 
Ryan has maintained a dedication to weight training and fitness his entire adult life. He has competed as a Powerlifter, and has held some Washington State records. Ryan continues to compete in races such a The Tough Mudder and other fun types of sporting events. Ryan also enjoys music and is a competent bass player. When opportunities come up to play music for events and even to just jam with friends, he will jump at the opportunity. He also enjoys spending time with friends and family on 4-wheel drive adventures in the hills in his Jeep. For relaxation, Ryan enjoys reading non-fiction, mostly on history and science-related topics. He lives with his wife, Cheryl and daughter Lindsay. Lindsay will be off to college in the Fall, attending California Polytechnic State University.

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. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

9The 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.

12Investors 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.
