The Ricca-Weinerman Group at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney As the financial world becomes more complex and investment choices multiply, careful planning becomes ever more important to helping you achieve your financial goals. As Financial Advisors, our role is to work with you to help you develop a plan that lays out a clear path to your goals a plan that we develop in collaboration with you, and one that you can follow with confidence in the face of the market s ups and downs. Together, we will explore a broad range of topics that are likely to influence your financial future from your family situation to your career aspirations, from likely education expenses to the retirement you ultimately envision. What we learn will become the foundation for a financial and investment strategy based on who you are and where you want to go. Only then will we talk with you about the details of investing: how much risk makes sense, your asset allocation, and which investments are right for your portfolio. But that s just the beginning. Over time, we will revise your plan to reflect new aspirations and priorities, helping your plan keep pace as the markets change and your life unfolds. THE RICCA-WEINERMAN GROUP 3
