What We Do

While we love digging into the numbers, we define our process first and foremost on a human level. To start, we want to hear about your life goals, your professional ambitions, and your family aspirations. Then we’ll translate these into a set of financial objectives and craft your financial plan.

After ensuring you understand the “why” behind your plan, we put it into action. Sometimes, growing your wealth raises a new set of challenges. That’s why we work closely with Morgan Stanley Family Office Resources. Together, we help high and ultra-high net worth clients address complex questions:

● How can my charitable donations have the impact I want them to have?
● Are my heirs prepared, intellectually and emotionally, to manage their inheritance?
● How can I reduce my transfer taxes, while benefiting family and charity at the same time?
● I’m getting ready to sell the company that I’ve spent much of my life building. What do I do next?

At the end of the day, our service is about so much more than your portfolio. We’re here not only to help optimize your asset allocation, but also to walk you through a large purchase, help you strategize charitable gifts, answer your questions, and be your financial sounding board.

4When 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.

5The 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.
