Approach

Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
Families with substantial wealth typically have complex needs and require highly integrated capabilities. The Capital Street Group has extensive experience addressing both the financial issues and the personal dynamics of wealthy families. In addition to decades of experience in the financial services industry, one of our team members has deepened their knowledge of the intricacies of wealth management through extensive education and training. As of 11/2022, Financial Advisor Paul Shoemaker is a Morgan Stanley Family Wealth Director. Fewer than 4% of Morgan Stanley's Financial Advisors have earned this highly selective designation. As a designated Family Wealth Director team, we offer wealthy clients a truly differentiated experience.
