Are You Ready for the Future?
Delivering Services That Help Address Your Greatest Concerns
As you grapple with the effects of the
recent recession, you may find yourself increasingly concerned about
your wealth and your future. If your
situation is like many others, you are
probably asking yourself questions
like these:
l Do I really trust executives on Wall
Street to do what is right for me and
my loved ones?
l How will the recession impact
my retirement, savings, investments
and the other assets I had planned to
transfer to my family?
l As my priorities change, how can I
keep my financial strategy in line with
my evolving goals?
8
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY
Is my financial advisor fully aware
of how these difficult times are
impacting me and my loved ones and
what is his or her plan to help us
through these times?
l
If these questions resonate with you,
we can help provide a solution that
you should carefully consider.
The Franklin Avenue Group will
work with your other financial and
legal professionals so that we can
offer you expanded insight beyond
the capabilities of our individual
practices. Working with our group
can help ensure you receive not only
financial management but also the
insurance, tax, and legal services that
are crucial to the health of
your wealth management program.
These services are designed to help
preserve your wealth, mitigate taxes
and address a host of other concerns.
Best of all, they help us to create custom financial strategies that are
unique to your situation.
If this sounds like the kind of support
you and your loved ones have been
looking for, the rest of this brochure
explains how our group can help you.
How Can We Help You?
Listening to Your Story to Create Your Unique Strategy
A wise proverb says, “Let me listen
more than I speak." The Franklin
Avenue Group believes that listening
is the foundation of a healthy relationship.
Through a consultative process, we
will come to understand you and
what is most important to you about
your wealth. We will take this information and craft a personal financial
strategy that represents your goals,
values and dreams.
Over the course of five meetings, we
seek to deliver wealth management
services that go well beyond investment recommendations. Those meetings include:
1. The Discovery Meeting
2. The Investment Plan Meeting
3. The Mutual Commitment Meeting
4. The 45-Day Follow-Up Meeting
5. Regular Progress Meetings
10
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY
In the Discovery Meeting, we will get
to know each other. We will ask comprehensive questions to help create a
personal profile, and discuss your values, goals, interests, assets, and your
preferred level and types of interaction with your advisors.
In the Investment Plan Meeting, we
will deliver a financial strategy that is
in line with everything we discussed
with you during the Discovery
Meeting. The investment plan will
also be shaped by recommendations
from other professional advisors,
where appropriate.
In the Mutual Commitment Meeting
we will begin the process of asset
transfer. Our team will create a schedule and walk you through the steps in
your wealth progress plan. We will
outline a plan to communicate and
stay in touch over time so your goals
are always in line with your strategies.
In the 45-Day Follow-up Meeting, we
will assess the next steps in the
wealth management process and help
you organize all the documents
and papers you have received. We
will review your latest statements and
answer any questions you may have
about them. We will also begin to
review your total wealth management
plan and discuss the steps involved
for both the long- and short-term.
Regular
Progress
During
Meetings, we will discuss what is
working the way you want and what,
if anything, needs adjusting to reflect
your evolving priorities. We will also
present the Advanced Plan that covers all the wealth management strategies we will recommend.
Second Opinion Service
We Are Here To Help
Research shows that over 80 percent
of investors are actively considering
switching their financial advisors.[1]
With all the disruption in the financial markets, investors are unsure
what to do now. Should they switch
financial advisors? How can they
ensure they are working with the
right person? The Franklin Avenue
Group now offers our Second-Opinion
Service to help you and the people you
12
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY
care most about make informed
financial decisions.
We will provide a second opinion on
your current advisor’s investment
plan for you by assessing any potential gaps or missed opportunities and
will review how the plan reflects your
long-term financial goals. If you are
achieving your objectives with your
current plan, we will let you know
and show you how your goals are
being met. If your advisor is not helping you meet your goals, we will offer
you an alternative vision and a new
financial strategy.
Who do you know who would be a
good candidate for our SecondOpinion Service?
