WORKING WITH YOU

At Morgan Stanley, we believe that identifying financial solutions begins with a solid understanding of each client's situation, goals, objectives and risk tolerance. We follow a disciplined process that allows us to work with you to craft a solution that helps meet your individual needs. This process aligns our efforts with your interests, providing a road map focused on what is most important to you.

    1. Establish Objectives
    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.
    Icon Image
    2. Set 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. Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities, and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.

    3. Implement Solutions

    4. Review Progress
    We approach every opportunity in the context of an overall, consistent client strategy---a strategy that is revisited and revised with each change in a client's circumstance or life stage.

ESTATE PLANNING STRATEGIES

Your Estate strategy has the potential to be incredibly powerful if executed effectively. We are here to discuss various tax, trust, and estate strategies with you and your external tax and legal advisors to help facilitate implementation of those strategies. Our goal is to provide you with strong analysis and communication of your complex situation, tailored to your unique needs to help quantify the gravity of making a decision and its trade-offs. Here are some questions to think about to start the conversation:

• Does my current estate plan reflect my desired intentions during and after my lifetime?
• Does my estate plan reflect my current wealth level and consider recent tax law changes that may affect the way I protect and transfer assets?
• Have I prepared for the potential impact of current and future taxes?
• Do my investments complement and enhance my trust, tax, and estate strategy?

Digital Resources

Our strategy leverages modern wealth tools and cutting-edge technology. By providing you with the tools you need, we can help you come one step closer to achieving your financial goals.
