Working With You
Dealing with financial matters can be time-consuming and difficult. Our goal is to be the team you and your family can trust for comprehensive financial advice so you can focus on what's important to you.
The first step in our process is getting to know you. The more we understand about your unique situation, the better we can craft a customized plan to help you realize your goals.
We carefully select investments that are appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. We will present ideas to you and listen to your feedback, fine tuning the plan until it's ready to be implemented. Once the plan has been implemented, our team will monitor its progress.
Over time, your needs and goals may change. We schedule periodic check-ins to make sure your plan is up to date and still appropriate for you.

About Douglas A Reed
As Portfolio Manager of The Reed Group, I manage the assets of families, companies, and non-profit organizations. My interest in investing began when I was thirteen years old and I have been actively following the stock market ever since. I have been with Morgan Stanley and its predecessors for over 36 years and look forward to the opening of the stock market every morning.
For portfolios we manage, we look for strategies to grow a client’s wealth. To do this, we invest in growing and undervalued companies with excellent management. I spend much of my time researching companies and developing a deep understanding of the how well the management understands their own company.
However, portfolio management is only one aspect of a client’s financial life. My son Dan, our team’s Financial Advisor, in addition to studying the craft of portfolio management under my guidance, works with clients to create financial plans. These financial roadmaps can help clients prepare for life events such as funding a child’s college education, saving for retirement, and estate planning.
Whether your goal is wealth accumulation or securing your family’s financial future, we hope to offer you the best service possible.

1Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
3Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available. The Morgan Stanley ADV is available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV.
4The 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.
5Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment decisions.
6Annuities are offered in conjunction with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC’s licensed insurance agency affiliates.
