Family Office Services
Our team offers access to an extensive suite of services needed to help highly affluent families manage the complex multigenerational challenges of managing significant wealth. We integrate investment management with all other aspects of wealth planning while providing concierge services and personalized care for your family. We coordinate with your external advisors (attorneys, accountants, trust officers, insurance providers, property managers, household staff, etc.) to provide active and strategic planning as well as management of daily actionable administrative needs.
Estate Planning Strategies
Building, protecting, and passing on a legacy involves much more than investing wisely. It requires a careful analysis and an integrated, strategic approach to planning and implementation. Our goal is to help you protect and grow the wealth you have created, and to help you and your family maintain unity as you pass both assets and values across generations.

Charitable giving is among the highest of human aspirations, woven into the fabric or organizations, countries, and societies around the world. While many individuals and families have a deep commitment to philanthropy, charitable giving is not limited to those with significant wealth. A well-structured charitable plan can provide benefits to the causes you care about for generations to come. Donor advised funds are among the easiest and most tax-advantaged ways to give to charity for donors across the spectrum of wealth.
Cash Management & Lending
We recognize that clients and their families have unique needs that require dedicated experience and capabilities. Our goal is to help simplify your financial life with a combination of cash management and lending solutions designed to complement your investment strategy and support your financial goals.
