Morgan Stanley has developed a holistic offering to serve Family Offices and investors with north of 500 million US dollars in total net worth. The service spans across providing investment advice, administrative support and subject matter expertise across a variety of topics that are important when managing significant wealth.

• Our objective is to enhance investment management decision-making and alleviate administrative complexities so that families can better strive to meet their goals and focus on the things that matter to them.
• Our capabilities allow Morgan Stanley to act in the best interests of clients' portfolio (regardless of where the investments are custodied), while delivering consolidated tax-lot level accounting and reporting across custodians through an institutional quality platform.
• We strive to complement the investor's current structure, giving them leverage through infrastructure and investment management capabilities, as well as the breadth of Morgan Stanley.

Disclaimer:
The term “Family Office Resources” is being used as a term of art and not to imply that Morgan Stanley and/or its employees are acting as a family office pursuant to Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
    #1: Investment consulting and/or management
    •Benefits for clients: Our construct allows us to be flexible around the client as their needs evolve over time (e.g., as the composition of their portfolio changes, as they come into a liquidity event, as they establish a framework for the next generation, etc.). We still act as a fiduciary on their entire portfolio even if they choose to have their assets held at different places. We truly become their partner in evaluating investments holistically within the context of their goals and objectives.
    •Source investment ideas
    •Benefits for clients:
    •We have a dedicated team responsible for sourcing new ideas, plus we can tap into Morgan Stanley’s network and the other sophisticated Family Office Resources within our ecosystem
    •Utilizing us allows your clients to get depth and knowledge in many spaces ; and also allows them to pivot freely as market dynamics, opportunities or priorities shift
    •Perform comprehensive due diligence on investment opportunities, as well as review existing investments
    •Benefits for clients:
    •Diligence is performed by a team of ~65 people, which naturally becomes an extension of their Family Office
    •We vet the opportunities that the client brings to us, and our investment and operational diligence teams will perform the fulsome diligence they would if the opportunity were being brought for distribution on the MS platform
    •As investment opportunities come their way, we become the voice of reason if the investment doesn’t make sense via their objectives and they have to say no to a family member/friend/acquaintance
    •We bear the risk of the investment decision-making for those investments under our diligence purview
    #2: Portfolio administration (provided by Morgan Stanley Fund Services)
    •Benefits for clients:
    •Keeping track of growing portfolios continues to become more difficult over time. MSFS allows clients to track every cent in one place, so they have one consistent and consolidated view. Regardless of the type of asset or where the asset is held (doesn’t need to be @ MS), MSFS can reflect the asset in the books and records.
    •With this MSFS infrastructure in place, our investment team has the transparency that will allow us to bring clients our most robust investment management capabilities. When we can see the entire portfolio alongside the family, we can think about things holistically and make better, smarter, faster decisions.
    •There are many differentiators of MSFS vs. other third party platforms that clients may consider to help aggregate their assets, but the most important ones are the richness and accuracy of the data and service model. The core of the MSFS offering is a full service accounting platform, with dedicated accountants serving each of our clients, enabled by proprietary technology. We provide the client with tax-lot level books and records down to the transaction level, and produce working papers for tax purposes. Other common providers are not true accounting systems. We do not just take downstream custodial feeds and play them back on a reporting tool – we reconcile those feeds to the upstream data directly from the executing broker dealer daily. Upon the basis of accurate and verified data, we offer industry-leading analytics tools, reporting and cash management functions.
    #3: Dedicated subject matter experts, including:
    •Tax, Trust & Estate: Holistic analysis of tax, trust and estate solutions to help preserve wealth
    •Family Governance: Family-focused offering to help address family dynamics and other human capital challenges
    •Philanthropy: Suite of services to help define and execute on charitable missions
    •Wealth Education: Programs to help build financial knowledge
    •Insured Solutions: Comprehensive insurance offering across providers and products
    •Benefits for clients: easy access to subject matter experts who can address the complex, multifaceted challenges of managing significant wealth and help equip them with best practices and executable solutions

    Disclaimers:
    Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not accept appointments nor will it act as a trustee but it will provide access to trust services through an appropriate third‐party corporate trustee.

    Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers insurance products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.

In following their example, we not only trace their footsteps, but also blaze our own trail.

4An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website.
