We offer accredited investors, family offices and other institutions a new tax-advantaged investment strategy that will further diversify one’s investment portfolio out of traditional investments, such as stocks and bonds, and into real estate, combined with the additional return boost due to the tax savings of the Opportunity Zones program. Unlike many larger fund companies, we are local, readily accessible to our investors and welcome investor input on potential projects. We are looking for partners, not just investors to help navigate this newly created investment landscape.

Wealth Planning

After a thorough review of a client’s circumstances and assessing their unique needs, our advisory team constructs an in-depth, actionable plan to address targeted goals. This service is customizable and will involve multiple disciplines, with a holistic perspective on identifying the most appropriate approach to pursue. While some individuals, families, family offices, foundations, endowments, and non-profit institutions tend to focus their financial efforts primarily on investment returns, we formulate approaches that seek to preserve and grow wealth, help clients prepare for future needs, and assess legacy goals for future generations. We apply our extensive experience across an integrated array of services:

Our allocation recommendation may incorporate a variety of vehicles, including our network of third-party managers, mutual funds, ETFs, alternative strategies, opportunity funds, private equity funds, real estate, and more as may be appropriate. Our advice is driven by an independent analysis of opportunities in line with our client’s objectives, viewed within our long-term, global perspective.

Philanthropic Services
