Morgan Stanley Smith Barney offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please contact us to understand these differences. 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 a Financial Advisor, my role is to work with you to help you develop a plan that lays out a clear path to your goals a plan that I 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 I 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 I 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, I will revise your plan to reflect new aspirations and priorities, helping your plan keep pace as the markets change and your life unfolds. Alysia R. Perkinson 3

Creating Your Plan To be truly effective, your plan must reflect the totality of your personal and financial life. My role is to help ensure that your investment objectives are consistent with pressing financial concerns and your long term aspirations. These four steps were developed to achieve that goal: 1 Setting your financial objectives Through a process of discovery and discussion, I will work with you to articulate your aims for your wealth. Together, we will examine your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash flow needs, and then consider factors that might influence your overall strategy, including tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon. Through careful analysis, I will look for potential gaps that may exist between you and your goals, and develop sound strategies to help smooth the path. 2 Creating your strategy Working from my understanding of you and your objectives, I will propose a financial plan that contains specific strategies designed to help meet those goals. My advice may encompass issues such as retirement planning, business continuation, tax minimization potential and wealth transfer. You will also receive an asset allocation strategy designed to provide diversification for your portfolio. 6 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
3 Implementing your strategy After discussing and refining your strategy, I will work closely with you to bring the elements to life. Should we decide together that outside money managers are appropriate for you, I will draw on in-depth research and analysis to help you select from the hundreds of investment management firms available to you. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, I can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio. Whatever approach we decide on, we will help you keep your strategy on track. 4 Reviewing objectives and performance I view ongoing communication as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. I will make every effort to keep abreast of your changing financial needs and provide viable strategies to help you meet them. This means reviewing your portfolio together at your request. When your circumstances change, I will work with you to revise your strategy and reposition your assets to reflect your new needs and goals. AlysiA R. PeRkinson 7
