About Trevor M. Dare

I am passionate about two things: finance and connecting with people.

I’ve always been a people person, and utilizing that aspect of my personality with professional work in finance has proved tremendously rewarding. When I first learned about the potential of the stock market and the power of investing assets to create more wealth, I knew I had found my professional calling.

After graduating from Pepperdine University in 1996, at age 22, I was the youngest person selected by Smith Barney to enter their Financial Consultant program, where I honed my skills in managing wealth and creating lasting relationships with my clients. Those clients that entrusted their assets to me in those early days have stayed with me for nearly 30 years.

The work that I have done for my clients has run the gamut from index investments to hedging positions with derivative instruments. My most satisfying work comes from helping my clients reach their retirement goals, provide for the education of their children, and developing estate planning strategies. Because market conditions are constantly evolving, I constantly expand my knowledge and skills by attending continuing education programs and researching new trends and investment opportunities.

For me, my connection with my clients is the foundation of the work that I do for them. In my career, I’ve seen many different approaches to wealth management, but what I believe sets me apart is my singular focus on understanding my clients’ needs and achieving their goals.

I consider myself an intensely dedicated individual, especially when it comes to family. I am very involved with my two teenage boys' sports, especially tennis, which has become a big part of our family's life. I grew up in a situation where I had to work for everything and learned first-hand the value of hard work. While my two boys have grown up under different circumstances, I do my best to instill those same values of dedication and hard work to whatever their endeavors. It is this same dedication that I bring to my valued clients.

5Investors 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.
