The Bahnsen Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management

BAHNSENPHILOSOPHY The Bahnsen Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has built a stellar reputation by delivering top-shelf investment strategies and a first-class wealth management experience to our clients. We help affluent individuals and families to become, and stay, financially organized, and provide premier and exceptional services to those who have entrusted our practice with their financial well-being. The investment approach is driven by a commitment to several investing principles that the team Senior Portfolio Manager, David Bahnsen, has adapted and applied throughout his career in wealth management. These principles include a commitment to the primacy of cash flow in evaluating the relative attractiveness of various investment options. We invest for growth, and we invest to generate income; but we also want to help produce growth-of-income, the element we believe is most frequently ignored by investment professionals. The state of the current market cycle we are in can hardly be described as a secular bull market, and we do not believe clients will be served well with a generic buy and hold approach. We are tactical asset-allocators, and we strongly believe in the contrarian approach that seeks to capitalize on market sentiment that moves too far for or against a given investment approach. Our approach is found in the construction of each customized portfolio for every client of our group. We benchmark ourselves against the number zero, believing that clients primarily hire us to help protect their capital throughout a full market cycle. From there, we seek to deliver consistent returns in line with each individual s needs and aspirations not an arbitrary index that has no relevance to that client s financial goals. Finally, we measure our investment success in risk-adjusted terms, seeking to optimize the returns we deliver relative to the risk and volatility we assume. Our focus on dividend growth investing, the emerging markets, and alternative investments are all cornerstones of our investment process. More importantly, the philosophy of The Bahnsen Group is our passionate commitment to the idea that a successful wealth management strategy comes from knowing our clients, and truly understanding their needs. We are very proud of the services we have delivered to our clients over the years, and strive for continued success in the years and decades to come.
