IMPACT INVESTING DEFINING A FRAMEWORK 1 1 Each family s path into impact investing is unique. The following framework is designed to help customize a unique engagement with impact investing. Define Vision Define a clear vision for impact investing. As there is no one-size-fits-all approach, we work with investors to define a strategy that suits their motivations and unique context. This includes setting distinct impact goals and evaluation criteria. 2 Determine Engagement Strategy Determine how to engage with impact investing. Once the vision has been set, what is the best way to get started? What portion of the portfolio should be allocated to impact investments? We help investors evaluate fit within their existing portfolios and prepare a plan to implement investments. 4 3 Execute Strategy Implement the investment strategy. Deploy capital based upon the investment guidelines and impact portfolio construction model The asset allocation framework will be based on impact objectives as well as traditional financial parameters, including risk tolerance, liquidity needs, etc.. Develop Investment Guidelines Create formalized impact investment guidelines. We work with investors to review existing or develop a new set of investment guidelines, integrating impact goals. These will inform the portfolio construction process and the ongoing evaluation strategy. 5 Evaluate Portfolio & Adjust Strategy Evaluate the portfolio on a regular basis and improve the strategy. We help families to monitor both the financial performance and the impact goals. Based on the results of the evaluation, we work with families to fine-tune the strategy with updated investment and impact goals. 1 Impact Investing Framework developed by World Economic Forum, as published in Impact Investing: A Primer for Family Offices, December, 2014. 12

IMPORTANT INFORMATION This material does not provide individually tailored investment advice. It has been prepared without regard to the individual financial circumstances and objectives of persons who receive it. The strategies and/or investments discussed in this material may not be suitable for all investors. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management recommends that investors independently evaluate particular investments and strategies, and encourages investors to seek the advice of a Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Advisor. The appropriateness of a particular investment or strategy will depend on an investor s individual circumstances and objectives. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please visit us at http://www.morganstanleyindividual.com or consult with your Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Advisor to understand these differences An investment in alternative investments can be highly illiquid, is speculative and not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is only intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risks associated with such an investment. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Some of these risks may include: loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the fund and none is expected to develop; volatility of returns; restrictions on transferring interests; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single advisor is utilized; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting; less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds; and manager risk. Individual funds will have specific risks related to their investment programs that will vary from fund to fund. Actual results may vary and past performance is no guarantee of future results. This material is intended only for clients and prospective clients of the Discretionary Management program. It has been prepared solely for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy or sell any security or other financial instrument, or to participate in any trading strategy. The individuals mentioned as the Discretionary Management Team are Private Wealth Advisors with Morgan Stanley participating in the Morgan Stanley Discretionary Management program. The Discretionary Management program is an investment advisory program in which the client s Private Wealth Advisor invests the client s assets on a discretionary basis in a range of securities. The Discretionary Management program is described in the applicable Morgan Stanley ADV Part 2, available at www.morgan stanley.com/adv or from your Private Wealth Advisor. Past performance of any security is not a guarantee of future performance. There is no guarantee that this investment strategy will work under all market conditions. Holdings are subject to change daily, so any securities discussed in this profile may or may not be included in your account if you invest in this investment strategy. Do not assume that any holdings mentioned were, or will be, profitable. The performance, holdings, sector weightings, portfolio traits and other data for an actual account may differ from that in this material due to various factors including the size of an account, cash flows within an account, and restrictions on an account. Top holdings, sector allocation, portfolio statics and credit quality are based on the recommended portfolio for new investors as of the date specified. Holdings lists indicate the largest security holdings by allocation weight as of the specified date.

International investing may not be suitable for every investor and is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political factors, withholding, lack of liquidity, the absence of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting foreign issuers. These risks may be magnified in emerging markets. 17

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Options are not suitable for all investors. Before engaging in the purchase or sale of options, potential clients should understand the nature of and extent of their rights and obligations and be aware of the risks involved, including, without limitation, the risks pertaining to the business and financial condition of the issuer of the underlying security or instrument. Options investing, like other forms of investing, involves tax considerations, transaction costs and margin requirements that can significantly affect the profit and loss of buying and writing options. The transaction costs of options investing consist primarily of commissions (which are imposed in opening, closing, exercise and assignment transactions), but may also include margin and interest costs in particular transactions. Transaction costs are especially significant in options strategies calling for multiple purchases and sales of options, such as multiple leg strategies, including spreads, straddles and collars. If you are considering options as part of your investment plan, your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Advisor is required to provide you with the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" booklet from the Options Clearing Corporation. Clients should not enter into options transactions until they have read and understood the Disclosure Document, as options are not suitable for everyone, and discuss transaction costs with their Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Advisor. Please ask your Financial Advisor or Private Wealth Advisor for a copy of the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options booklet. A copy of the ODD is also available online at: http://www.theocc.com/about/publications/publication-listing.jsp An investment in an exchange-traded fund involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on an 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 and bond prices. (For specifics and a greater explanation of possible risks with ETFs, please consult a copy of the prospectus.) Investing in sectors may be more volatile than diversifying across many industries. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so an investor s ETF shares (creation units), if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
