6 Our Process Includes The Following Steps: Step 1. Setting Your Financial Objectives We begin by reviewing your current financial resources, objectives and other circumstances that might influence your investment strategy. We analyze your time horizon and tolerance for risk, as well as any current and potential liabilities. From a business standpoint, we discuss your current financial systems and what you may need to meet the day-to-day or growth demands of your business. Step 2. Developing Your Financial-Management Strategy Based on your input, our recommendations could encompass such varied disciplines as retirement planning, business succession, debt restructuring and wealth transfer. Your plan also includes a customized asset allocation that helps to identify appropriate diversification strategies. Step 3. Implementing Your Investment 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 a professionally managed investment approach is appropriate for you, we will access Morgan Stanley Smith Barney s considerable resources to review hundreds of investmentmanagement firms competing for your business and select the ones that align with your set of financial objectives. Or perhaps, you d prefer individual securities; if so, we can identify specific securities that will be suitable for your portfolio. Step 4. Providing Business Strategies Having helped to identif y your business challenges and obstacles, we consult with specialists throughout the firm to bring you the services you may need to take your business to the next level. Step 5. Reviewing Objectives and Performance We frequently and systematically review your wealth plan so we can help you adapt to changes in your life. Milestones like marriage, children and grandchildren, buying and selling a home, starting another business or selling your current one, and retirement can all have an effect on your plan and how we can help you to meet your objectives. Of course, we can work with you to evaluate your investment portfolio over time, recommending adjustments as necessary, so that your investment strategy can keep working hard. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

8 Our Philosophy As Financial Advisors, we have access to a global platform of products and services that enables us to provide a high degree of tailored client service. The Way We Do Business A successful business is a life s work. Which is why helping to manage your business finances can t be separated from your personal finances. That s why we like to begin each new relationship with a review of both your personal and your business financial picture. Because every client is unique, we spend time listening to your story. How you got to where you are today. As well as where you want to be tomorrow. Once we have a thorough understanding of your situation, we can begin to help you manage your wealth, suggesting ways that your personal assets can support your business growth. And ways in which your business can help your personal goals. The cornerstone of our service commitment is to offer clients distinctive, caring and personalized attention, in addition to timely communication and availability. Each client relationship begins with a careful consideration of our clients long-term financial objectives and life aspirations. We seek to grow that relationship by continuously striving to transcend their expectations, as well as consistently helping them to instill value and leave a legacy for the people who matter most to them.

9 Helping Your Business Do Business When we think about your personal finances, we make sure to factor in what we believe is likely to be your single largest asset your business. And, when we think about your business, we see it for what it really is as part of a far larger enterprise your life. As your business grows, so may your need for more complex banking and advisory services. Your financial advisor can consult with specialists throughout Morgan Stanley Smith Barney to advise you on the many issues your business encounters, and to assist with any one or all of them. Access to Growth Capital: Accessing capital when you need it can mean the difference between falling behind the competition and capturing market share. Managing Cash: Efficient transactional banking and cash management systems designed to grow with your business can save you time and money. We can help you simplify your cash management process and potentially improve the returns on your cash balances. Protecting Your Business: Insurance, trust and estate planning specialists can help you identify ways to safeguard your business in a way that is worthy of this valuable asset. At the same time, our pre-liquidity and succession planning services will help you prepare for the eventual transfer of your business, with the goal of managing estate and gift tax consequences. Planning For Retirement: A properly designed retirement plan allows you to attract and retain qualified employees. It can also generate substantial tax savings for your business.

10 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 be able 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 your 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/10
