Family Office
Redefining Family Office
Your family is unlike any other we have ever served. You may, however, share many of the same questions, challenges and opportunities. We look forward to learning more about you and your family, and discussing how we can help you safeguard what you have earned and pursue your most important life goals. We deliver an exceptionally attentive level of service and dedicate ourselves to finding solutions to the challenges our clients face, even those challenges that fall well outside the traditional role of wealth managers.
Family Governance and Education
Too often, members of rising generations spend decades in silence. Having a mechanism in place such as a family mission statement, a family constitution or an investment policy statement can offer critical parameters and guidelines to make decisions as a collective. We work with you to find your way to becoming your own generation, with your own voice.
Investment Policy
Trust and 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. Liquidity events also magnify the need to put in place or update certain essential estate planning documents.

Philanthropic Advisory
Believing that philanthropy must be more than checkbook writing, involved and engaged donors want to feel a connection and offer advice and input above and beyond money. Perhaps you want to use philanthropy to instill values in your children, or you want to apply your business acumen to philanthropy. Maybe it is the grassroots-type of organizations that inspire you. Holding philanthropic conversations with our team and your family to discuss values, motivations, visions and to develop a mission statement is an effective step to achieving long term philanthropic engagement. Deciding on what level of visibility you want, what type of program to support and how long you envision your involvement to last, are your matters that matter to us.
Charitable Giving at a Glance
Art Advisory
Whether you have inherited a valuable collection or built one of your own, the stewardship of fine art and collectibles presents an extensive range of formidable challenges. These unregulated markets can be confusing, fragmented and inefficient. With experienced art advisors at your side, you have the guidance you need to avoid pitfalls and the expertise to manage your collection as the significant asset it is.
