Learning about you is crucial before we can provide you with advice. That’s why we begin with a process that is centered on you.

Discover: It’s All About You

UNDERSTANDING YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS

A core component of any wealth management framework is retirement planning. Making it increasingly important are longer life expectancies, rising health care costs, uncertainty tied to Social Security and continued changes in corporate retirement plans. TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR RETIREMENT GOALS, WE CAN:

• Help you clarify what retirement means to you—whether it means relocating, traveling, starting a business, going back to school, spending more time with your family or fulfilling another life goal.

• Analyze and quantify your retirement needs, factoring in your current and projected income and assets as well as estimated inflation rates and the impact of your spending in retirement.

• Uncover potential shortfalls in your retirement plan and show you ways to address them.

• Create an action plan to help you achieve the retirement lifestyle you imagine.

• Monitor your progress and make adjustments as your goals, financial situation and markets change.

• Higher education costs are rising rapidly, at rates that exceed inflation and the average increase in personal income.1

• In an environment of high unemployment and declining family incomes, many question how they can afford a college education.2

• Custodial accounts, trusts and 529 Plans can help.

TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR EDUCATIONAL FUNDING GOALS, WE CAN:

• Create a detailed analysis of your current saving and investment strategy and the projected cost of education at the time your children or grandchildren reach college age.

• Evaluate how well your current saving and investing strategy is working, and, if appropriate, suggest several alternatives to help you meet your college funding goals.

Even the best wealth management plan can be jeopardized by a crisis, such as the death or disability of a principal wage earner. The right insurance coverage provides an important means of helping to protect your goals. The use of insurance can be a goal-protection strategy—so that : • You have an income stream in retirement • Your children or grandchildren can go to college • Your family can maintain a comfortable lifestyle • Your estate won’t be forced to liquidate to pay taxes BY PERFORMING A RISK ANALYSIS, WE CAN: Assess your current coverage and identify any gaps. We may then recommend specific amounts of one or more of these types of insurance:

• Disability insurance

• Life insurance

• Long-term care insurance

Create: Protecting Your Goals

Insurance products are offered in conjunction with Morgan Stanley's licensed insurance agency affiliates.

A well-crafted estate plan helps you to:
