Retirement Planning
Planning for retirement has never been easy, but in recent years, it’s become increasingly difficult. I’ll help you create a well-rounded planning approach for retirement. I am here to help identify your personal goals, track your progress toward achieving them and work together to create a customized plan.
Estate Planning Strategies
Estate planning is a strategy designed to protect, manage, and distribute your assets during and after your lifetime, while helping to minimize taxation. It can help protect your legacy and those you care about most. As your advisor, I will work closely with you to explore factors that are relevant to existing and/or future estate structures and strategies. I will collaborate with you, your external tax and legal advisors to formulate tax and estate strategies.
Education Planning
529 Plans offer a tax-advantaged way to help save for education. Depending on the specific plan, you can choose from a range of investment strategies appropriate to your specific needs, objectives and time frame. I offer valuable experience to help you incorporate an education savings plan into your overall investment strategy – while helping to minimize your tax liability and maintain your current lifestyle and long-term financial goals.
Disclaimer:
The 529 Plan Program Disclosure contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses, and potential tax consequences. Investors can obtain a 529 Plan Program Disclosure from their Financial Advisor and should read it carefully before investing. Investors should also consider whether tax or other benefits are only available for investments in your home state 529-college savings plan.

Exchange Fund
For tax-deferred diversification, Exchange Funds provide diversification without triggering the taxable gains typically associated with diversification, as the exchange occurs within an IRS-approved tax-deferred vehicle. Exchange Funds are managed by portfolio managers to construct a desired portfolio so that each contributor of concentrated stock will ultimately receive a pro-rata allocation of the portfolio while retaining their original basis.
Donor Advised Fund
To offset higher income tax year when there is a liquidity event from IPO/acquisition, options exercise, stock vests, or bonus income, you can gift charitably to a Donor Advised Fund with appreciated long-term gain stock. This allows tax deduction in current tax year, with flexibility to gift to end charities over time.
Portfolio Line of Credit
For liquidity needs without triggering sales of concentrated stock, you can borrow against the stock in a portfolio line to manage more immediate cash flow needs for real estate transactions, tuition payments or tax payments. No underwriting or credit pull required, and no cost to setting up or keeping the portfolio line open. You borrow against the portfolio when needed, paying interest at a floating interest rate and repay it back without penalty.
Investing with Impact
Many of us want our investments to make impact in the same way we want to make a positive impact. Impact investing focuses on companies with strong ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria. Research shows that businesses that are mindful of their environmental and social impact, operating with financial transparency, are profitable brands with loyal customer base.
10b5-1 Plans
10b5-1 plans are preset diversifications plans for executives who want the flexibility to sell through open and closed windows, whether at market or specified limit prices. The 10b5-1 plan is a written trading plan approved by legal counsel and executed by a third party, which provides corporate insiders an affirmative defense against claims of insider trading.

The Power of Partnerships
By partnering with experienced individuals across wealth disciplines, Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors can align specialized resources with your custom needs and deliver strategic guidance through the familiarity and trust of existing relationships
Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
