4 THE DURSO WEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP INITIAL STRATEGY SELCTION: Investment portfolios that are recommended shall be subject to specified selection criteria and shall be monitored for adherence to your investment policy guidelines. The most important input to your portfolio selection will be your individual risk tolerance. Our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS will assist you & your family in determining the correct investment allocation. These investment solutions are screened and monitored on a daily basis. The Morgan Stanley Portfolio Management Platform will grant our Portfolio Managers the ability to make changes on a discretionary basis. The Durso Wealth Management Group believes more prudent attention and flexibility is required in today s fast paced and ever changing macroeconomic landscape. REVIEWS: Investment performance will be clearly stated on Morgan Stanley s Investment Monitor Reports. As an additional benefit, the team will provide each portfolio management relationship with a monthly insight letter. This letter will contain updates on the macroeconomic landscape, as well as our rationale on any investment allocation changes that were completed throughout the month. The returns will be compared to current and appropriate benchmarks. As stated before, these multi-asset solutions are long-term investment planning techniques. REBALANCING: A key component to the Portfolio Management Platform is its flexibility. We will continue to utilize Morgan Stanley s research & proprietary techniques utilized by our investment management committee to determine appropriate investment holdings. Due to the volatile nature of many asset classes, variances from the initial stated percentages are expected to change. These strategies are monitored on a daily basis by our Certified Portfolio Manager and will be re-allocated when our views of future market conditions change.

11 Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives and risks as well as charges and expenses of mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the fund company s website. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the mutual funds and ETFs. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. International investing may not be suitable for every investor and is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political factors, withholding, lack of liquidity, the absence of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting foreign issuers. These risks may be magnified in emerging markets. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC ( Morgan Stanley ), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate. Bonds rated below investment grade may have speculative characteristics and present significant risks beyond those of other securities, including greater credit risk and price volatility in the secondary market. Investors should be careful to consider these risks alongside their individual circumstances, objectives and risk tolerance before investing in high-yield bonds. High yield bonds should comprise only a limited portion of a balanced portfolio. The sole purpose of this material is to inform, and it in no way is intended to be an offer or solicitation to purchase or sell any security, other investment or service, or to attract any funds or deposits. Investments mentioned may not be suitable for all clients. Any product discussed herein may be purchased only after a client has carefully reviewed the offering memorandum and executed the subscription documents. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has not considered the actual or desired investment objectives, goals, strategies, guidelines, or factual circumstances of any investor in any fund(s). Before making any investment, each investor should carefully consider the risks associated with the investment, as discussed in the applicable offering memorandum, and make a determination based upon their own particular circumstances, that the investment is consistent with their investment objectives and risk tolerance. Alternative investments often are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. They may be highly illiquid and can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase the volatility and risk of loss. Alternative Investments typically have higher fees than traditional investments. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Actual results may vary. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Alternative investments involve complex tax structures, tax inefficient investing, and delays in distributing important tax information. Individual funds have specific risks related to their investment programs that will vary from fund to fund. Clients should consult their own tax and legal advisors as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management does not provide tax or legal advice. Interests in alternative investment products are offered pursuant to the terms of the applicable offering memorandum, are distributed by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and certain of its affiliates, and (1) are not FDIC-insured, (2) are not deposits or other obligations of Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates, (3) are not guaranteed by Morgan Stanley and its affiliates, and (4) involve investment risks, including possible loss of principal.
