BARRON’S “TOP 100 FINANCIAL ADVISORS”
Ron has been recognized by Barron’s Magazines annual ranking of America’s top
financial advisors for three years running from 2012-2015; placing in the top ten in
New York in each of the last three years.
The Barron’s ranking shown reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisor and
their team, revenues generated for the firms and the quality of the advisors practice.
The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them
with the top ranked advisor.
“TOP 400 ADVISOR LIST ”
Ron has been named to the Financial Times Top 400 Advisor list in America since
the lists inaugural year in 2013. Chris & Rachael have also been named to the list
for 2015.
“The formula the FT uses to grade advisors is based on 6 broad factors and calculates a
score for each. Areas considered include: AUM, asset growth, years of experience,
industry certification, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority compliance record and
online accessibility…AUM and asset growth comprise 80-85% of each score. We present
the FT 400 as an elite group and not ranked from 1-400.”- Loren Fox, Financial Times

To create discretionary managed portfolios that focus on capital preservation, income and long-term growth. The portfolios seek to provide diversification across asset classes, industries, and geography, including exposure to non-USD assets.
IN DIVIDUAL STRATEGIES
Flexible Fixed Income
Investment Objective:
The primary objective will
always be capital preservation.
Unlike most managers who only
solve for income, we take a
more active approach and view
our objective with a total return
philosophy, managing both for
income and capital appreciation.
The portfolio has the ability to
move tactically within and
between various fixed income
sub-asset classes.
Buy Write
Investment Objective:
To generate an income stream
and achieve growth at a
reasonable price by purchasing a
diversified basket of high quality,
multinational stocks. Call options
may be written on certain
positions to harness volatility,
enhance the income stream and
protect against downside risk.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)
Investment Objective:
Our strategy seeks to achieve a
diversified exposure to Master
Limited Partnership subsectors
with a target yield greater than or
equal to that of the Alerian MLP
Index.
Global Income Growth
Investment Objective:
To diversify across geographic
regions and economic sectors by
investing in listed common stock
of high-quality, multinational
companies. The portfolio will be
actively managed and seeks to
obtain a yield that exceeds its
index. The portfolio may over or
under-weight sectors or countries
relative to their index weight.
Global Total Return
Investment Objective:
A transparent, balanced
portfolio that allocates to
multiple asset classes with an
income and growth focus. The
portfolio is diversified across
currency and geography.
Asset Classes include: Fixed
Income, Equities, Master
Limited Partnerships,
Convertible Bonds,
Commodities, Hedge Funds,
Managed Futures, Cash and
Currencies.

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.

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.
