Working With You

Our Clients

I’ve often said “The Financial Plan is the footprint of a family’s needs and the real test of a family’s overall success.” How closely a family’s footprint parallels the way they live their life, is paramount in the overall success of reaching their goals and objectives. 

In our Financial Planning meetings, we often hear our clients report to us that they did not realize how different they had been living their lives as compared to what they really wanted to achieve. This is a sobering experience which results in a renewed focus and resilience to align their life style to their goals. 

The Financial Plan is the Advisor’s blueprint for the continued construction and maintenance of the client’s overall portfolio, which reflects their risk tolerance and future income needs. From our perspective, during the Financial Planning process, “The Financial Plan is the cream in your coffee – it always comes to the top”. 

Our question becomes, does the cream in your coffee match what you envision in your mind and what is in your heart? This question has to be re-visited on a regular basis to ensure that we are tweaking The Financial Planning process to your changing needs. 

“It is a two way street to succeed! Both the Advisor and Client have to be engaged and keep the plan on track.”

2Investors 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.

3Alternative 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.
