Morgan Stanley Family Office

¹Wealth and Estate Planning Strategists may provide tax, trust and estate planning strategies. The core functions of the Wealth and Estate Planning Strategists include apprising clients of general estate and income tax planning issues and assisting to ensure that the client’s investment strategy discussed with the Private Wealth Advisor is aligned with the client’s estate plan. The services of Wealth and Estate Planning Strategists complement and support the client’s relationship with the Private Wealth Advisor and tax and/or legal advisor but do not replace the client’s relationship with his or her tax and legal teams. Although they may be admitted attorneys, Wealth and Estate Planning Strategists and other Estate Planning Strategies personnel holding legal degrees are acting purely in a non-representative capacity. Neither they or Morgan Stanley provide tax or legal advice to clients or to Morgan Stanley.

Generally, investment advisory accounts are subject to an annual asset-based fee which is payable monthly in advance (some account types may be billed differently). (The “Fee”). In general, the Fee covers Morgan Stanley investment advisory services, custody of securities with Morgan Stanley, trade execution with or through Morgan Stanley or its affiliates, as well as compensation to any Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor.  In addition, each account that is invested in a program that is eligible to purchase certain investment products, such as mutual funds, will also pay a Platform Fee (which is subject to  a Platform Fee offset) as described in the applicable ADV brochure. Accounts invested in the Select UMA program will also pay a separate Morgan Stanley Overlay Manager Fee  and any applicable Sub-Manager fees. If your account is invested in mutual funds or exchange traded funds (collectively “funds”), you will pay the fees and expenses of any funds in which your account is invested. Fees and expenses are charged directly to the pool of assets the fund invests in and are reflected in each fund’s share price. These fees and expenses are an additional cost to you and would not be included in the Fee amount in your account statements. Overlay Managers or Executing Sub-Managers (“managers”) in  some of Morgan Stanley’s Separately Managed Account (“SMA”) programs may affect transactions through broker-dealers other than Morgan Stanley or our affiliates. If your  manager trades with another firm, you may be assessed costs by the other firm in addition to Morgan Stanley’s fees. Those costs will be included in the net price of the security, not separately reported on trade confirmations or account statements. Certain managers have historically directed most, if not all, of their trades to outside firms. Information provided by managers concerning trade execution away from Morgan Stanley is summarized at: www.morganstanley.com/wealth/investmentsolutions/pdfs/adv/sotresponse.pdf.

Global Investment Manager Analysis (GIMA) Focus List, Approved List and Tactical Opportunities List; Watch Policy. GIMA uses two methods to evaluate investment  products in applicable advisory programs: Focus (and investment products meeting this standard are described as being on the Focus List) and Approved (and investment products meeting this standard are described as being on the Approved List). In general, Focus entails a more thorough evaluation of an investment product than Approved. Sometimes an investment product may be evaluated using the Focus List process but then placed on the Approved List instead of the Focus List. Investment products may move from the Focus  List to the Approved List, or vice versa. GIMA may also determine that an investment product no longer meets the criteria under either process and will no longer be recommended in investment advisory programs (in which case the investment product is given a “Not Approved” status). GIMA has a ‘Watch” policy and may describe a Focus List or Approved List investment product as being on “Watch” if GIMA identifies specific areas that (a) merit further evaluation by GIMA and (b) may, but are not certain to, result in the investment product becoming “Not Approved.” The Watch period depends on the length of time needed for GIMA to conduct its evaluation and for the investment manager or fund to address any concerns. Certain investment products on either the Focus List or Approved List may also be recommended for the Tactical Opportunities List based in part on tactical  opportunities existing at a given time. The investment products on the Tactical Opportunities List change over time. For more information on the Focus List, Approved List, Tactical Opportunities List and Watch processes, please see the applicable Form ADV Disclosure Document for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Your Financial Advisor or Private  Wealth Advisor can also provide upon request a copy of a publication entitled “Manager Selection Process.”
