Approach
We approach wealth management with a six-step process in mind designed to understand our clients’ financial situation on a fundamental level and go beyond the balance sheet, implementing a holistic strategy that takes all needs of our clients and their families into consideration.
The six-step approach is broken down as follows:
>Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
>Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
>Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
>Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
>Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
>Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
Below are additional capabilities both us and Morgan Stanley are able to offer our clients:

Below are additional capabilities both us and Morgan Stanley are able to offer our clients:
Financial Literacy
Financial literacy means being equipped with the knowledge to make smart financial decisions during every stage of your life. No matter your current priorities, a strong financial literacy foundation can help you meet your goals.
Financial Literacy for Any Stage of Your Life
Donor Advised Funds
Let’s say you hold securities that have appreciated significantly. By donating the securities to a DAF, you can eliminate the potential capital gains tax, and you have time to decide when and where to make your charitable gifts. Between the time you make a donation to a DAF and when you finalize your giving strategy, your assets can be invested, with the potential to grow tax-free.
Philanthropic Planning
Trust Planning
Among the available tools for protecting and transferring assets, trusts may be the most misunderstood. Put simply, a trust can be a flexible and effective way for families to solve their financial issues and manage many types of challenges involving how to transfer assets and wealth to help ensure a lasting legacy.
Planning Your Legacy
Intergenerational Wealth Planning
Highly skilled accountants and estate attorneys are vital to constructing sound wealth-transfer plans, but sometimes it is the matters these experts cannot address that pose the greatest challenges.
Addressing Your Challenges
Insured Solutions
As a leader in the distribution of insurance and annuities, our offerings include disability, long-term care and property & casualty insurance, as well as fixed, indexed and variable annuities. Morgan Stanley offers these products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.
Morgan Stanley Insured Solutions
Alternative Lending
Using highly-automated models and expansive datasets, alternative lending platforms can rapidly underwrite borrower credit risk.
Borrowers may access credit in a more streamlined fashion as compared to the traditional lending process, often on terms more attractive than otherwise would be available.
Innovation in LendingBorrowers may access credit in a more streamlined fashion as compared to the traditional lending process, often on terms more attractive than otherwise would be available.

3Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact 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.
