Your first step toward successful investing is building a relationship with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, who is well-trained to help you succeed. Because we recognize every client is unique, we approach each relationship through these five steps:

1. Understanding you. Your relationship starts with a frank conversation to help your Financial Advisor thoroughly understand your goals, your tolerance for risk and your particular needs.
   
   
2. Analyzing your needs. You and your Financial Advisor review and analyze your current financial situation and evaluate various strategies that could be employed to help you reach your goals.
   
   
3. Tailoring your solution. Your Financial Advisor evaluates and recommends the appropriate combination of investments for your strategy, and makes sure you understand them.
   
   
4. Carrying out your choices. Your Financial Advisor helps you implement the investment strategy that you have chosen.
   
   
5. Staying committed to you. Your Financial Advisor maintains an ongoing commitment to the relationship through regular contact, timely account information, and seeing that your questions or concerns are resolved.
