Whether it’s for your family, your community or your cause—your money and investments today will shape tomorrow. Start crafting a plan that serves your purpose and the people who matter most. We know your legacy matters to you. It matters to us too.
We’re committed to understanding what wealth means for you.
At UBS, excellence comes from nurturing the best of our heritage, mastering the details and delivering the expertise you need to turn your financial vision into a reality. The result? Financial advice that is finely crafted for what matters most to you.
As we enter 2024, the questions on the top of investors’ minds center around whether history will repeat itself: Will the former president be the next president? Will the Fed cause another recession? Will we face a new deficit crisis? Will AI be as transformative as the internet? Can China break through the middle income trap? Will the new normal for interest rates be like the old normal?
A road map to help facilitate the process
Often, the process of selling a business is unknown to the business owner. This may leave them vulnerable to making significant mistakes. This brochure may serve as a general road map for facilitating the sale of a closely held business.
Discussing and dividing wealth across generations
Even though high net worth investors have made strides over the last eight years with estate planning, they worry about the financial and familial discord that can accompany wealth transfer.
Traditional or Roth?
For most families, a balance of Traditional and Roth contributions will provide the best results. However, this doesn’t mean that you should contribute to both types of accounts equally. The UBS Chief Investment Office (CIO) provides an overview of Traditional and Roth 401(k) accounts, highlighting key factors that you should consider when deciding where you will direct your hard-earned savings.
