8 Developing Your Wealth Management Strategy Individuals work hard to build wealth in pursuit of a meaningful life for themselves and their family. Your achievements reflect substantial effort, and we will work just as hard on your behalf, committing our experience and skills to helping you achieve your unique goals for your wealth. Moreover, we will support you and your strategy by accessing the resources and perspective of one of the world s largest financial firms. 8 Before our team offers specific advice, however, we must understand who you are and what you want your wealth to accomplish. Working with you, we will complete a four-step process: 1 Setting your financial objectives We will begin our relationship by listening discussing a range of topics related to your financial needs and investment objectives: long-term life goals and expectations, possible major purchases, and legacy and charitable goals, if you have them. We will discuss your current financial resources, your time horizon for various goals, your tolerance for risk even how your liabilities are structured. If you own a business, we also might discuss your current banking and cash management needs. MORGAN STANLEY 2 Developing your wealth management strategy Based on your input, our advice will likely help address income and retirement planning, asset protection, investment management, strategic borrowing, wealth transfer and business succession. Of course, your plan will include an asset allocation strategy designed to help achieve your financial goals in light of your risk tolerance and investment time horizon. 3 Implementing your strategy After we have discussed and refined your strategy, the team works closely with you to bring the elements to life. Should we decide together that outside money managers are appropriate for you, we will draw on in-depth research and analysis to help you select from the hundreds of investment management firms available to you. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, we can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio. Whatever approach we decide on, the team will help you keep your strategy on track. 4 Reviewing your performance You will receive a quarterly review that outlines your portfolio s performance, helping you track progress toward your objectives. Moreover, when your personal situation or market conditions change significantly, we can suggest appropriate adjustments to your portfolio to help it remain aligned with your goals.
