The Way We Do Business Our process is designed to integrate your investment objectives with other pressing financial concerns and desired aspirations by looking at the totality of your life. You can expect that together we will work through the following steps. MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY
1. SETTING YOUR FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES We personally meet with you and help you articulate what you aim to have your wealth accomplish. This intensive dialogue helps us learn about your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash-flow needs. We then discuss circumstances that might influence your overall strategy, including tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon. Finally, we determine where there might be gaps that stand between you and your goals, and try to find the smart strategies to help you meet those needs. 3. IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN After presenting you with a detailed strategy for your portfolio, we work closely with you to help bring the elements to life. Should we decide that outside money managers are appropriate for you, we will rely on our research to select from the hundreds of investment-management firms competing for your business. Or perhaps you d prefer individual securities; if so, we can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio. Whatever approach we decide on, we will help keep your portfolio on track. 2. CREATING YOUR PLAN Once we have had the chance to discuss your objectives, we develop a financial plan that contains specific recommendations designed to meet those goals. Our recommendations may touch upon issues such as retirement planning, business continuation, tax minimization and wealth transfer. You will also receive a customized asset-allocation plan that helps to identify appropriate diversification strategies. 4. MONITORING YOUR PERFORMANCE As you would expect, we believe that ongoing communication is essential. We do everything necessary to keep on top of your changing financial needs. This means monitoring your portfolio at your request, and when you feel that your circumstances have changed, we will try to make certain that your assets are positioned according to your evolving needs. If necessary, we will recommend adjustments to your strategy to address any alterations to your objectives. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Investment Policy Statement The cornerstone of our investment philosophy is to preserve capital and to reduce risk, while maximizing returns. It is our goal to provide honest, ethical, objective and independent financial management services. The process begins with a discussion of the client s investments concerns, experiences, sensitivities, and short/ long term goals. An assessment of past objectives and performances will be conducted. The information provided will enable us to assist in developing specific written investment objectives and policies. The next vital decision is allocating assets, by identifying the correct blend of stocks, bonds, cash equivalents and alternative investments. Performance expectations will be set over a full market cycle to help clients achieve results over inflation and after taxes. Portfolio design and execution via openarchitecture platform using stocks, bonds, separate managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, and alternative strategies. We will use institutional pricing and premier investment managers. We will work with our clients other advisors (i.e. lawyers, accountants, etc) in order to insure that their investments properly meet the client goals and objectives. We feel that a quarterly review meeting is essential to monitor each client s investment performance and evaluation of the investments. This will also allow us to update changes in our client s objectives or circumstances to make sure our investment process can adjust due to changing situations. Our team approach and focus on each client allows us to cultivate a superior level of rapport and service to our clients.. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY
The Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Advantage Our approach is simple. We want to know as much as we can about our clients, so we re in the best possible position to help them. And that doesn t mean we just want to know about their finances. True, we have to understand what your assets and liabilities are, and how your portfolio is structured. But the more important information has to do with your goals for yourself and your family, your feelings about where you are and where you hope to be and, of course, your fears, and the things that might prevent you from getting what you want. Because everyone is different, we tailor our recommendations for each client s unique set of goals and challenges. Maybe you want to retire at 55 and start a new business. Maybe you want to be able to pay both college tuition for your child and nursing home care for your mother. Maybe you re in the middle of a divorce and you want to ensure your children s inheritance doesn t go to the future spouse of your ex. This in-depth knowledge of you, combined with our in-depth knowledge of planning and investing, will help us create strategies aimed at trying to achieve the things you really want. And we have the freedom and the good fortune to implement those strategies using the products, services and skills of a large financial services firm. It s time to throw out your notions of what you can talk about with us. We look forward to the conversation. MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY/11
