Planning for Your Children's Education
 
For many parents, paying for college is a significant challenge. Time is short and the costs are high, with average college costs typically rising faster than inflation.
 
Difficult or not, you need to start planning. Your Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Financial Advisor can help you determine what your savings target should be based on projected costs, and then recommend appropriate investment strategies.
 
 
Education Funding Solutions
 
 
With the rising costs of education, many families face a challenge in paying education expenses for their children. To help them plan for this financial challenge, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney offers families two savings choices.
 
 
 
 
Our college planning and education funding solutions are not financial planning (unless they are prepared using financial planning software approved by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, such as Morgan Stanley Financial OutlookSM).  As a brokerage service, they do not create an investment advisory or a fiduciary relationship (including under ERISA) between you and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
