enhances the value of Morgan Stanley’s
insight with an objective understanding of your goals, your tax sensitivity,
the complexities of your situation and

Successfully structuring family wealth
requires an understanding of the global
financial marketplace and insight into
your financial needs and situation. The
financial world changes continually
and families redefine themselves over
generations. Your Private Wealth Advisor — ​working in conjunction with your
legal and tax advisors — ​can help realign
your financial strategy as needed. This
approach — ​consisting of a discovery
process; formulation of a tax, trust and
estate strategy; creation of a customized
strategic asset allocation; integration of a
tactical asset allocation; implementation
of a customized investment strategy;
and an ongoing assessment of wealth
management needs — ​i s customized
based on your needs and objectives.
While providing a sound foundation
for a long-term relationship, our approach
helps to ensure that your personal and
financial objectives are not overlooked
and incorporates the full range of financial disciplines necessary for the
success of your plan. The result: your
Private Wealth Advisor can address both

combining personal and investment insight
Your Private Wealth Advisor will apply discipline to the
management of your family’s goals and assets, helping
to ensure that your strategy leverages our global market
expertise and our understanding of you and your goals.
Our goal is to help you:
Clearly and concisely define your investment
considerations and objectives
Ensure that all of your investment needs are fully and
appropriately reflected in your strategy
Define a formal investment strategy to guide asset
allocation and portfolio management decisions
Provide a foundation upon which to build and

personal and financial needs and objectives.

formulation of tax, trust
and estate strategy 4

discovery process
While every client situation is
unique, we begin by learning about
you, your family and your financial
complexities. What we learn helps
us to formulate specific strategies
and, of equal importance, it helps us
customize the entire relationship to
your preferences and requirements.
18
After reviewing your balance
sheet and existing estate plan,
we help analyze your income
and estate tax circumstances
to identify planning techniques
that may be effectively tailored
to your personal and financial
objectives.

creation of a customized
strategic asset allocation
Managing significant wealth often
involves developing a customized
asset allocation mix that reflects
risk, opportunities and taxation
across multiple entities, while
integrating your investing and
estate plans. This asset allocation4,5
becomes the basis for a long‑term
strategy formalized in your
investment policy.

ongoing assessment of
wealth management needs

investment strategy

integration of tactical
asset allocation
These short-term adjustments
in asset allocations seek to take
advantage of opportunities created
by temporary market distortions.
Before adjustments are made, we
can analyze the potential impact
of any taxes or trading costs on
potential returns.4,5
Coordinating with you and your
other advisors, we can conduct
ongoing reviews and comprehensive
reporting to ensure that your
strategy adapts to changing
financial and family needs.
After comprehensive due diligence and
extensive analysis of expected results
across a range of market scenarios,
investment strategies from our global
investment platform are combined to
create your portfolio. Our platform
includes proven proprietary strategies
developed using Morgan Stanley’s
worldwide resources and expertise

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
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, shortselling, or other speculative practices
• Restrictions on transferring interests
• Complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting
• Lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market
for the fund and none is expected to develop
• Potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due
to concentration of trading authority when a single advisor
is utilized
• Less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds
• Volatility of returns
• Absence of information regarding valuations and pricing
