We make a real impact in the lives of our clients by guiding them through major life events and helping them preserve and pass on their wealth. Our customized approach focuses on thoughtful financial planning and wealth management that looks beyond your investments and encompasses all aspects of your financial life.
Who: Executives at publicly-traded companies.
Why: Employees at public companies accumulate a substantial amount of their net worth in the form of company stock and/or stock options resulting in a portfolio concentration. This concentration becomes more acute as compensation increases over time. Congruently, portfolio diversification may become more crucial as an employee approaches the capital preservation phase of life.
We are experienced in managing concentrated positions, which may include hedging strategies, gifting strategies and/or divesting out of the company stock into a diversified portfolio.
Who: Professional Athletes
Why: Similar to corporate executives, professional athletes have a unique compensation profile. Professional athletes may have a smaller window of substantial earnings potential than other professionals. For example, some athletic careers can last on average 3-5 years, whereas a doctor can work for 30 years. Additionally, professional sports contracts have become increasingly complex and lucrative in recent years. Managing the large amounts of money associated with these contracts may be very difficult for athletes from a technical perspective, as well as a lifestyle perspective. We have found that guidance in how to manage cash flow needs, budgets and investments, as well as the lifestyle changes that come with sudden inflows of wealth, has become increasingly valuable. A Sports Illustrated article published in March 2009 indicated that approximately 8 out of 10 professional athletes have gone bankrupt or suffered catastrophic financial hardships within 2-3 years of their retirement.
Who: High Net Worth Households
Why: Over the past decade we've seen some of the most volatile capital markets activity in history. Heightened volatility yields heightened emotions, which can undermine the true value of a financial plan. From the Tech Boom and Bust to 9/11, from the Debt Crisis to the Flash Crash, we have been successful in helping our clients navigate through uncertain times through our disciplined approach to asset allocation.
