OUR PROCESS, YOUR JOURNEY
Our comprehensive process focuses on you, your family and your future – where you are today and where you want to go. Working together, we develop the strategies to help get you there, navigating life’s challenges and empowering you to make smart decisions about your wealth now and over time.
1. Initial Conversation
We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. Should we agree to move forward, we schedule a Discovery Meeting and request copies of important financial documents so we can review them in advance of our meeting.
2. Discovery Meeting
In this in-depth discussion, we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any special circumstances in your life. Our priority is to really get to know you – your goals, your needs, and your challenges – so we have all the necessary information to create a comprehensive and customized Wealth Management Plan.
3. Analysis and Assessment
Here, we utilize proprietary financial planning tools to meticulously analyze and assess your current financial situation. We then develop a Wealth Management Plan that is uniquely yours, aligning your objectives and priorities with your timeframes and risk level.
4. Wealth Management Plan Meeting
In this step, we meet with you to present your Wealth Management Plan in detail. Your Plan includes investment recommendations as well as other valuable strategies. These may include solutions to help reduce risk, minimize taxes and achieve your estate planning and legacy goals.
5. Mutual Commitment Meeting
One to two weeks later, we meet again to formalize our working relationship. Documents are executed as we officially welcome you into our practice.
6. The Advanced Plan
As your assets transfer to Morgan Stanley, we begin the disciplined process of executing your plan. We often collaborate with specialized professionals in key areas, as well as your CPA and estate attorney to help ensure a cohesive implementation and transparency.
7. First Follow-Up Meeting
This meeting is designed to provide a status update on the implementation of your plan, as well as introduce you to a myriad of digital resources now available.
8. Ongoing Service and Care
Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that provides special value to you and your family. We set up regular calls and meetings to provide updates and keep your plan on track towards achieving your goals.
Individual Plans for Individuals Like You
Goals you set today will evolve over time. Our process is designed to evolve with them- and with the changing circumstances of your life.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.

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.

7Structured Investments are complex and not appropriate for all investors. An investment in structured investments involves risks. These risks can include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying asset(s), interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial loss of principal, limits on participation in appreciation of underlying asset(s), limited liquidity, credit risk, and/or conflicts of interest. Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.

11Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
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. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
