Working With You
As your dedicated wealth management team, our role is to tailor a personalized financial strategy which fits your needs. In our experience working with clients, we have developed a step-by-step approach to service:
Step 1: Discovery Meeting
During the discovery meeting, we will work together to establish your financial goals by reviewing your current financial situation and developing an appropriate risk tolerance that can help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.
Step 2: Financial Plan Presentation
Financial plan presentations map out essential factors that play into your financial success, such as your employee and employer contributions, liquidity events, and insurance coverage. Examining relevant financial information provides a holistic asset allocation analysis for your accounts, helping ensure a comprehensive financial plan. In this step, we also incorporate tax, trust, and estate considerations to help structure your wealth effectively and that ensure that your legacy goals are fully integrated into your plan.
Step 3: Action Items / Next Steps
After the financial plan presentation, we will follow up with you regarding our analysis and recommendations, which may include adjustments to your financial plan, investment allocation, company benefits, and insurance coverage.
Step 4: Implementation Meeting
The implementation meeting focuses on creating prospective strategies tailored for your specific needs. Recommended changes could include logistics, tax impact, asset allocation adjustments, and saving/benefit modifications.
Step 5: Monitoring & Performance Tracking
Finally, we will be constantly monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data seeking to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. We will keep a high degree of communication with you to make sure your concerns and requests are always addressed.

HER WAY INITIATIVE
HER WAY PROGRAM HISTORY
In November 2017, Christina Paul, along with 13 other female financial advisors at Morgan Stanley's 522 5th Avenue office, created and hosted Morgan Stanley's first-ever HER Day. The goal of the event was to create an immersive experience to explore themes of health and wellness, personal and professional development, wealth, and philanthropy in a storytelling format, in sessions coined HER Talks. Featured speakers for the event included Gloria Steinem, a founder of Ms Magazine and the modern women's movement, Bobbi Brown, lifestyle and beauty entrepreneur, and Shelley O'Connor, Co-Head of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
The event reached over 1,000 women – 100 invitees in the room and others through a nationwide webcast. To build on the momentum of HER Day, HER Way was launched in 2018.
HER Way's mission is simple: ENGAGE, EMBRACE and EMPOWER women to live their best financial and personal lives. We do this by curating content and hosting regular events featuring dynamic speakers taking about the financial and personal issues that are important to women.
