Claire built her career as an environmental engineer and raised two daughters with her husband. Then something happened, something game changing: Claire and her husband earned tens of millions of dollars from a company's IPO. While many people might fantasize about how they'd spend such a fortune, Claire believes this wealth gave her an opportunity to do something bold—give it away to help save the planet. How can she donate most of her fortune with confidence that her contributions will have the impact she wants with the causes she cares about most?
In this episode of What Should I Do With My Money?, listen in as Claire learns how her money can make a difference with a holistic approach to philanthropy and impact investing from Mike, a Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Advisor.
Visit our episode website for a deeper dive on topics covered in this episode like creating a Donor Advised Fund, climate philanthropy or to find a Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor to fit your needs. Also find important disclosures here.
The Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust, Inc. (“MS GIFT, Inc.”) is an organization described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. MS Global Impact Funding Trust (“MS GIFT”) is a donor-advised fund. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC provides investment management and administrative services to MS GIFT.
While we believe that MS GIFT provides a valuable philanthropic opportunity, contributions to MS GIFT are not appropriate for everyone. Other forms of charitable giving may be more appropriate depending on a donor’s specific situation. Of critical importance to any person considering making a donation to MS GIFT is the fact that any such donation is an irrevocable contribution. Although donors will have certain rights to make recommendations to MS GIFT as described in the Donor Circular & Disclosure Statement, contributions become the legal property of MS GIFT when donated. The Donor Circular & Disclosure Statement describes the risks, fees and expenses associated with establishing and maintaining an MS GIFT account. Read it carefully before contributing.

The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) investments in a portfolio may experience performance that is lower or higher than a portfolio not employing such practices. Portfolios with ESG restrictions and strategies as well as ESG investments may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as portfolios where ESG criteria is not applied. There are inconsistent ESG definitions and criteria within the industry, as well as multiple ESG ratings providers that provide ESG ratings of the same subject companies and/or securities that vary among the providers. Certain issuers of investments may have differing and inconsistent views concerning ESG criteria where the ESG claims made in offering documents or other literature may overstate ESG impact. ESG designations are as of the date of this material, and no assurance is provided that the underlying assets have maintained or will maintain and such designation or any stated ESG compliance. As a result, it is difficult to compare ESG investment products or to evaluate an ESG investment product in comparison to one that does not focus on ESG. Investors should also independently consider whether the ESG investment product meets their own ESG objectives or criteria.
There is no assurance that an ESG investing strategy or techniques employed will be successful. Past performance is not a guarantee or a dependable measure of future results.

Willow was a debt-burdened single mother when she finished grad school. As a consultant, she was able to climb out of debt and build her business and earn a considerable wage. She isn’t a big spender but she grew up in a household with strict budget limitations, so she doesn’t know how to approach wealth.
Willow feels she is playing catch up compared to other people her age when it comes to wealth management. Yet, Willow’s reality of being in her forties and only now being able to think seriously about things like savings and retirement is very common. It can take years of building a career and raising kids before there's money available to start thinking about finances beyond everyday expenses. And the longer the wait, the more urgent the questions become.
In this episode, listen in as Sarah, a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, gives Willow actionable steps towards managing her finances and the reassurance she’s on the right track.

Managing our money can be ... a lot. It's one of the most important aspects of our lives, and yet, many of us just muddle through, without any help, hoping that we haven’t made a mistake.
It doesn’t have to be that way. At Morgan Stanley, we help people manage their money at all stages of their lives, whether a young person just starting out or an executive planning their retirement. And while each person's situation is unique, many of their concerns are common.
On this podcast, we match real people, asking real questions about their money, with experienced Financial Advisors. You’ll hear answers to important questions like: Is now the right time to buy a house? What to do if your business fails? How should I be saving to cover the cost of college? How much do I really need to retire and am I on track?
Having an experienced Financial Advisor on your side can go a long way. Someone who you can trust, who gets you, who has tackled these same issues before and who has the expertise to develop a plan that fits your goals.
Join us as our guests share their stories around life's major moments. And hear the difference a conversation can make. Hosted by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s Jamie Roô.
