WHO WE SERVE
As a specialized financial advisory team, we provide tailored guidance and strategic wealth management solutions for corporate executives, founders and entrepreneurs operating within the dynamic sectors of technology, media, and entertainment. Our deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in these industries allows us to craft highly customized plans that align with our clients' personal and professional goals by thinking outside of the box.
You're Unique, We Know Why
From your variable income streams to your taxes, from your obligations to your aspirations, "typical" is not part of your vocabulary. You need distinctive financial strategies that match your lifestyle and career trajectory.
Concentrated Experience in Capable Hands
Our organization was developed to respond to the specific needs of technology, media and entertainment professionals at every stage of their careers. We understand your unique financial opportunities and challenges.
Tailored Advice to Meet Your Objectives
You can leverage us and the vast resources of Morgan Stanley to address any objective, from building and preserving wealth, to starting a philanthropic foundation, to expanding your brand. Whatever aspirations you may have for yourself and your family, we present strategies, products, and services customized to help you reach your goals, your way.
The Power of a Team
We will routinely work in partnership with other trusted advisors to guide financial decision-making. We support and respect your personal confidants, combining our strengths to help you succeed.
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.
Equity Award Analysis
Equity awards are a recognition of hard work. Leveraging an innovative analysis platform, our team provides strategy and perspective to help your leaders maximize the impact of their equity.
Pre-Liquidity Planning
If your company is going through a liquidity event, some advance planning on your part may help you get the most out of your equity compensation.
Qualified Small Business Stock
The Qualified Small Business Stock exclusion provides owners of eligible companies with a tax exclusion for some (or all) of the realized gains on the sale of their stock.
Executive Financial Services
Empower your leaders to manage their equity compensation and complex financial needs with a dedicated Executive Services Relationship Manager.
10b5-1 Plans
As a corporate executive, you may be aware of material non-public information at any time and can also face company-imposed quarterly or specific blackout periods restricting market access to trading your company stock. A 10b5-1 plan is designed to address these issues. By utilizing a 10b5-1 plan, you can gain an affirmative defense against claims of insider trading. Your plan can include tailored trading schedules that coordinates with your personal need for liquidity and your own timing requirements.
