During college, Dan always found himself gravitating to financial and economics classes. He was intrigued by how world events impacted the value of financial assets. That interest led him to a nearly 20-year investment career and to UBS Private Wealth Management, where he and his team manage the significant wealth of multigenerational families, entrepreneurs and executives.

Dan’s approach is an important differentiator for his clients: it starts with listening deeply to what they want, care about and are comfortable with. Every portfolio Dan builds reflects those insights and incorporates a range of investments, including public equity, fixed income, alternatives and currencies. There is no one-size-fits-all asset allocation; each portfolio is tailored for a unique client.

Over the last 24 years, UBS Senior Wealth Strategy Associate and former practicing estate planning attorney Karin Veatch has learned through her many conversations with clients that family issues often take priority over investing. She finds that helping her clients promote good stewardship of the family wealth is often more important to them than asset allocation—from creating a “rulebook” for children and grandchildren to instilling values in the next generation, to family governance and cultivating a philanthropic mission. Because her highly successful clients also want to leave as much as possible to the people and causes they care about, Karin skillfully partners with clients, their CPA and estate planning attorney to design trusts and charitable structures that accomplish the client’s planning objectives while helping to minimize estate, gift and income taxes.

Karin’s background is a significant differentiator for her Private Wealth team and an invaluable resource for her clients, given the complexity of their wealth challenges. While Karin does not replace her clients’ existing attorneys, she collaborates closely with them to coordinate advice, financial modeling and implementation.

Life
