A Customized Approach to Wealth Planning

Through a highly disciplined planning process, we seek to gain an in-depth understanding of your unique needs, goals, challenges and family dynamics. That understanding guides our efforts to create a fully customized, comprehensive wealth management plan, and to tailor every aspect of our relationship to suit your preferences.

    Discovery

    During this stage, we create an aggregated view of your financial life and personal goals, investing the time to learn about you and your family, your concerns, values and aspirations, as well as your assets, liabilities and risk exposures.

    Formulation of Tax, Trust, & Estate Strategy

    Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor tax-efficient planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.

    Creation & Integration of a Customized Asset Allocation

    We propose a customized asset allocation that reflects risks, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities and jurisdictions, while integrating your investment and estate plans. Over time, we will propose short-term adjustments to your long-term strategic assets allocation in an attempt to take advantage of opportunities created by temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.

    Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy & Ongoing Assessment

    After comprehensive due diligence and analysis, we customize a wealth management strategy that incorporates investing and tax planning solutions aligned with your long-term personal goals and financial needs. As a multi-generational advisor, we help clients plan across generations to create a legacy for their families passing wealth between generations in a thoughtful, tax-efficient way.

    In coordination with your legal, tax and other advisors, we conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.

Global Clientele

Many of my clients have careers, businesses, and family relationships both domestically and internationally. With family members and assets in more than one country, we help clients navigate the intricacies relating to various regulations and jurisdictions. Drawing from the vast resources and cutting-edge technology at Morgan Stanley, as well as a network of legal and tax professionals, this allows us to serve a global clientele on the complex, multifaceted challenges of managing significant wealth so they can make complicated decisions with confidence.

My clients include corporate executives, affluent individuals and families with generational wealth, primarily in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. I also work with a select group of institutional and nonprofit clients.
