Professional Portfolio Management
Personalized Portfolios: Your Portfolio Manager will use his/her discretion to identify an investment strategy tailored to meet your needs
Comprehensive Communications: Throughout your relationship, you'll have direct access to the investment professional managing your portfolio.
Client Focus: Each account can be individually customized to meet your requirements for growth, income or preservation of capital within your risk constraints.
Asset-Based Fee*: Fees for the program are based on your account's asset level, not on the number of transactions performed in a given time period.
Disclosures:
* The Portfolio Management program account will be charged an annual asset-based fee ("the Fee") which is payable monthly in advance (some account types may be billed differently). In general, the Fee covers investment advisory services, the execution of transactions through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC ("Morgan Stanley") or its affiliates, custody of the client's assets with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and its affiliates, and reporting. Each account that is invested in the PM program that is eligible to purchase certain investment products, such as Mutual Funds, is charged a Platform Fee, regardless of whether a specific PM account is invested in such investment product. The Platform Fee is in addition to the wrap Fee, is subject to a Platform Fee offset, and is applicable to all custodied PM accounts, except for Retirement Accounts covered by Title I of ERISA, including for example, certain Simplified Employee Pension (SEPs) accounts and SIMPLE IRAs, as well as certain other account types.
Lastly, accounts invested in certain investment products, such as mutual funds, will pay the fees and expenses of those investment products. Fund fees and expenses are charged directly to the pool of assets the fund invests in and are reflected in each fund's share price. You understand that these fees and expenses are an additional cost to you and will not be included in the Fee amount in your account statements. Diversification and asset allocation do not assure a profit or protect against loss.
