Wealth Transfer Planning – Focuses on developing a custom-crafted plan.

Cash Flow Planning – Establishes a forward-looking projection so you know the potential impact on asset values, as well as net-to-heirs based on certain portfolio return and cash flow assumptions, which allows you to prepare and make informed decisions about the future.
Investment Management – we subscribe to evidence based, time-tested, highly disciplined approach to investments. We provide institutional-quality investment solutions across global asset classes chosen to meet your specific current needs and long-term goals. Tax- and fee-efficiencies are critical considerations. We leverage investment research and partners who possess years of experience with portfolio management for complex investment assignments.

Finally, we review, rebalance, and employ risk management measures with the goal to keep your portfolios on target.
Enduring family legacies require continuity in vision, values, trust, and communication among the family. Families need strategies and practices that facilitate alignment, communication and decision-making within families and across generations. This includes advice on preparing for family business transitions, navigating family dynamics, preparing and educating next generations, and developing or enhancing family governance practices. Common questions families need to answer:
What are effective strategies for conversations about wealth within our family?
How do other families like ours transition a family business or legacy to the next generation?
How can we apply more structure and governance to our family wealth enterprise?
How can the next generation prepare to not just steward family wealth, but thrive doing so?
How do we engage across generations around a set of shared values and a mission that aligns with our priorities?
Philanthropic Planning is a powerful tool for building an enduring family legacy. Not only does it make sense for your financial, tax, and estate planning, but it also is a strategic opportunity pass down your family history and your faith values to the next generations. Philanthropy, expressed through careful planning, is a very rewarding way to bless the charities you believe in and care about most.
