Our Mission Statement
We strive to build lifelong client relationships on a foundation of trust and confidence. We put clients' interests first, act with integrity and honesty, and strive for excellence in every facet of our practice. We are committed to the idea that our single most important purpose is to provide our clients with high quality personalized service.
Team Bio
As Financial Advisors, our mission is to create, preserve and manage wealth for our clients. We believe in a holistic goals based approach to wealth management that focuses on the particular goals, risk tolerances, and objectives of our clients and is tailored to their specific needs throughout all the stages of their life.
We believe that goal’s based wealth management is comprised of four essential steps. Step #1: Client profiling and goal articulation & prioritization. Step #2: Planning, analyze, and strategize. Step #3: Investment proposal and implementation. Step #4: Ongoing management and monitoring of plan.
While investors often share many preferences, we see each investor as being unique. Understanding and making decisions based on your unique parameters is vital to your success and thereby the success of our relationship. The commitment we make to every client is to take the time to understand who you are as an investor. With that as a starting point, we are able to build and implement strategies that suit your particular needs.
The discretionary portfolios we manage have components of growth, risk management, and cash flow. Placement within these elements is determined based on our client’s goals, objectives, and risk tolerances. It has been proven, and we have observed, that a client’s allocation among asset classes will determine both long term returns and near term volatility. We also place special emphasis on providing clients with a knowledge base from which to form reasonable expectations. Our objective is to guide each client in reaching their objectives in the manner in which they are most comfortable. Finally, on-going review is an important part of our relationship. It helps us make adjustments as changes occur both in your life and in the financial markets. All of our recommendations will be in investments that allow the flexibility to adapt and adjust to unforeseen changes.

Working With You: The Weinmann Method
Our investment philosophy focuses on taking a long-term approach that is customized based on each individual client. We take time at the beginning of the relationship to understand completely what the client is looking for and what their goals, objectives, and risk tolerance are so that we can put together a plan that the client can be satisfied with over the long-haul, but has the flexibility to be changed should circumstances dictate.
In terms of our investment approach, we believe that asset allocation is the key component when portfolios are designed and diversification reduces risk. We aim to reach goals and objectives by taking as little risk as possible and we avoid illiquid investments. We realize the importance of capital preservation and believe that the avoidance of significant loss is paramount to long-term investment success.

For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2Investors 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.

Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.

7When 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.

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.

8Morgan 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.

10Investing 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. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.

15An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website.

Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
12Investors 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.

15An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
