    Here, we utilize both strategic and technical financial planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed strategy to answer such important questions as “Can I retire comfortably?”, “What is my net worth?”, and “Do I have enough insurance?” This information serves as the foundation for building your initial plan, as well as future investment decisions.
    Icon Image
    Step 4: Commitment Meeting
    In this step, we share our thoughts and recommendations for helping build and preserve your wealth. Upon your approval, we’ll prepare the paperwork to execute the investment strategies, as we begin to implement the other wealth management strategies we discussed. These often encompass risk management, as well as estate and wealth planning solutions.

Where appropriate, we may consult with our network of professionals within Morgan Stanley and across the industry to evaluate any unique challenges and devise specific recommendations.

    Longevity Planning
    Given extended life expectancy, we help customize allocation and distribution strategies to help you preserve assets, whether they are held at Morgan Stanley or other firms. This includes advice on 401(k) plan assets, life insurance and long-term care plans.
    Icon Image
    Risk Management
    Life’s risks can manifest themselves in many ways – from loss of life to loss of health – and have the potential to impair the efficiency of a thoughtfully developed plan. We help address these concerns in a number of ways, ranging from insurance reviews to liquidity strategies.
    Icon Image
    Legacy Planning
    Delivering an estate to the next generation or favorite charity requires more attention than families often realize. Coordinating with outside estate and tax professionals, we align your estate planning goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designation requirements to help ensure your legacy wishes are fulfilled as you had intended.

1When 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.

9The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
