“Above all else, we believe in doing what is right for our client.”
To help our clients achieve their goals and make wise financial decisions, we provide a wide variety of services. These include everything from comprehensive investment management to tax planning, cash flow analysis, wealth transfer, legacy strategies – essentially, any decision involving money. All our recommendations and solutions are driven by two core pillars: simplifying our clients’ lives, and putting their interests first.
Before every flight, the pilots develop a flight plan. They define, step by step, where they’re going and how they intend to get there. They take off, expecting to follow the plan.
But during the course of the flight, wind, rain, turbulence, air traffic, and other factors act upon that plane. Pilots receive constant feedback during the flight, from control towers, their own instruments, even other pilots. As a result, they adjust, deviating from original the flight plan while remaining on track overall to reach their destination.
We believe this is an ideal metaphor for wealth management. We start with a comprehensive, carefully developed plan – and then we adjust for changing conditions or when new data becomes available. At any moment, circumstances may demand a course correction – but as with a typical flight plan, our strategy is designed to deliver you to your destination at the appropriate time.

Tax-Efficient Portfolios
Morgan Stanley Portfolio Solutions/Parametric Tax Efficient Portfolios are designated for high-net-worth investors seeking a tax-managed, diversified portfolio. Portfolios are monitored, evaluated, and rebalanced to maintain diversification and react to changing market conditions. Some key benefits include tax efficiencies, clarity by combining multiple asset classes in one account, and confidence with asset allocation advice deriving from the Global Investment Committee, so your portfolio is aligned with the firm's best thinking.
Robust Retirement Income Planning
Actively Pursuing Tax Alpha
Opportunities for tax strategies ebb and flow with the fluctuations of the market and not with our fiscal calendars. Incorporating tax-sensitive investing into the daily trading activity of an account can capitalize on market fluctuations and potentially yield better after-tax results.

Trust and Business Sale Planning
Successful business owners are visionaries. You are constantly thinking about how your business will prosper, who you should hire, where you want to expand, what your financing needs are, and ultimately, your exit strategy. This leaves you little time to consider for your own personal financial concerns, as well as those of your family.
Managing the financial needs of your business while also considering your personal wealth objectives can be a balancing act. Our team assumes responsibility for those concerns; navigating complex situations and offering planning-based solutions. We start with whatever is keeping you up at night, then tackle other priorities until every piece of your financial life is connected and accounted for.
Preparing for the transition and sale of a business requires planning across many financial disciplines. Working closely with clients early in this process helps them consider all aspects of the transaction to optimize the economic opportunity. Below are some resources that provide insight on the process of selling a business and different types of trusts to consider.

Family Limited Partnership
A Family Limited Partnership or “FLP” (or Family LLC) is a business entity which can facilitate business succession, gifting and estate planning. A properly created and administered FLP potentially allows you to leverage your lifetime gift tax exemption by making gifts of limited partnership interests, in trust or outright, to your family members on a discounted basis. Limited partnership interests generally qualify for valuation discounts for lack of marketability and lack of control.

Sale to a Grantor Trust
A Grantor Trust is a trust that is not a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Instead, the grantor of the trust is deemed to own the trust assets and therefore, all income, deductions and credits attributable to the trust property will be reported by the grantor on his or her personal federal income tax return. Non-grantor trusts are separate taxpayers.
Learn About a Grantor Trust Here
GRATs versus Sales to Grantor Trusts
A sale to an intentionally defective grantor trust is often compared to a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT), another type of estate freeze transaction. With a GRAT, a donor transfers property to an irrevocable trust for a term of years. The GRAT is required to pay the grantor an annual annuity during the term. Any value remaining in the trust after the annuity is paid may pass to children (or other beneficiaries) without incurring federal gift tax.
Learn About the Difference Here
Spousal Lifetime Access Trust
In a SLAT, each spouse would establish an irrevocable trust naming the other spouse and their children as beneficiaries. However, if the two trusts are deemed reciprocal (that is, they leave the spouses in nearly the identical economic position they had before the transfer), then the assets of the trust, including all appreciation, may be brought back into their estates for estate tax purposes under the "reciprocal trust doctrine."

1Morgan 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.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

5Investors 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.
6Alternative 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.
7Municipal 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.
