The following is a description of MSAM’s investment advisory services:
MSAM investment philosophy focuses on utilizing experienced investment management talent to create custom
portfolios.
MSAM believes in a holistic wealth management approach that means connecting investment strategies to client’s
desired life goals. MSAM or their partners incorporate a client’s unique risk tolerance, asset allocation and investment
preferences along with life goals, values and ongoing adjustments.
MSAM combines the internal expertise with external resources to build a set of investment solutions. MSAM manages
client accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. MSAM
obtains all the necessary information about the client
as to the client’s assets and liabilities, investment objectives, financial objectives and other pertinent information.
In addition, MSAM offers the following strategies/composites:
MSAM Growth
The composite seeks long term growth of capital. The investment process is focused on identifying investment value through
actively targeting factors such as: size, cash flow, payout to shareholders, return on invested capital and other company
attributes where the expectation of increased value can be realized. Portfolio construction methods are used to manage risk
and maintain a consistent ongoing portfolio profile.
MSAM Opportunistic
The Opportunistic Strategy seeks to purchase growth-oriented companies that may be underappreciated or undervalued
across the entire investment spectrum. We use both quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine our "Central Value"
of each company under consideration and seek to buy at or below this number. Our investable universe is focused on, but
not limited to, companies with the following characteristics: Strong Balance Sheet, Recurring Revenue, High Barriers
to Entry, Novel or Disruptive Products or Technologies and large R&D spending.
MSAM Balanced/Conservative Growth
The composite seeks long term growth, income, and capital conservation, in combination. It utilizes both active and passive
investment vehicles to create a balanced portfolio profile. Equities, whether individual stocks or index ETF's, purchased
primarily for growth, normally make up around 60% of the portfolio and securities purchased for income make up the
remainder. Portfolio construction methods are used to manage risk and maintain a consistent ongoing portfolio profile.
MSAM also has longstanding relationships with partners like RBC Correspondent Services, a division of RBC Capital Markets,
LLC, member NYSE/FINRA/SIPC, to provide additional tools such as international tax planning, professional trust services
and alternative investment management services. MSAM does not act as custodian to accounts.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
The goals and objectives for each client are documented in the client's investment advisory agreement and maintained in the
firm's recordkeeping system. Any restrictions placed on the account by the client will necessarily be a part of the client's
discretionary and non- discretionary investment advisory agreement.
D. Wrap Fee Program
MSAM acts as portfolio manager for and sponsor of a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the client
pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, and other administrative fees. This brochure describes
MSAM’s wrap fee advisory service which is referred to as -the MSAM Investment Management Program. Fees paid under
this program will be given to MSAM as a management fee. Please also see Item 5 and Item 12 of this brochure.
The benefits under a wrap fee program depend, in part, upon the size of the account, the costs associated with managing
the account, and the frequency or type of securities transactions executed in the account. For example, a wrap fee program
may not be suitable for all accounts, including but not limited to accounts holding primarily, and for any substantial period
of time, cash or cash equivalent investments, fixed income securities or no- transaction-fee mutual funds, or any other type
of security that can be traded without commissions or other transaction fees. In order to evaluate whether a wrap fee
arrangement is appropriate for you, you should compare the agreed-upon MSAM Investment Management Program Fee
with the amounts that would be charged by other advisors, broker-dealers, and custodians, for advisory fees, brokerage and
execution costs, and custodial services comparable to those provided under the MSAM Investment Management Program.
E. Pension Consulting Services
MSAM offers ongoing consulting services to pension or other employee benefit plans (including but not limited to 401(k)
plans) based on the demographics, goals, objectives, time horizon, and/or risk tolerance of the plan’s participants.
Pension consulting services may involve the direct investment management of one or more 401(k) participant accounts,
provide the selection and monitoring process for the various mutual funds offered to plan participants, develop and maintain
an Investment Policy Statement for the plan, and/or provide group and individual employee education on investment
options, asset allocation, and retirement planning.
F. Amounts of Assets under Management
As of December 31, 2023, MSAM manages approximately $1,201,212,148 in assets under management of which $1,110,431,980
was in discretionary accounts and $90,780,168 was in non-discretionary accounts.
