1 Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, December, 2024

Source: Barron's.com (May 2024) 2024 Barron's Top 250 Private Wealth Management Teams awarded in 2024. The teams are ranked on a variety of factors, including their size and shape, their regulatory records and credentials of their members, and the resources they have at their disposal to serve their client bases. The rankings are meant as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor—a first-pass vetting that can help investors narrow a search. Every advisor will have his or her own approach to investing, financial planning, and other services. Clients are encouraged to approach a search for an advisor the way they would a search for a doctor—interviewing multiple professionals and getting opinions from multiple third parties. Rankings are based on the opinions of Barron's and this ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience. This ranking is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance.

We can help you answer these questions and ensure your most important asset is handled the way you want it to be.

PURSUING YOUR GOALS, TOGETHER

Managing family wealth is like running a company - you need a strategy to help manage assets and mitigate risks. Bridging the gap between private wealth and investment management services, we work with owners and founders striving to accelerate growth and develop robust succession plans. We help manage the entire process by leveraging some of the top research and investment management resources in the industry.

    Succession Planning

    Ownership of a business can represent years, sometimes decades of arduous work and commitment. Nevertheless, business owners are often unfamiliar with the complexities and preparation that go into a successful succession strategy. Whether you are contemplating an IPO, merger with another company, private sale via a Strategic Client Group or Investment Bank, or succession within the family we are here to help you develop and execute a successful exit strategy.

    Estate Planning and Business Succession

    The key to determining which trust, tax, and estate strategies to execute is to understand the interplay of personal and exogenous factors. Liquidity events such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition may provide income and estate planning opportunities.
