Delivering multigenerational experience and expertise
Throughout our over 195 years of collective experience—roughly 25 years per partner on average—our mission has remained the same: to proactively advise our clients on the wide range of issues that come with substantial wealth. Investing is a critical component to preserving and growing assets, but there is so much more that our clients need to address. We bring in expertise and resources to help guide our clients on such topics as advanced estate and tax planning strategy, philanthropic giving, family governance, risk management, financing and many other areas.
Serving the interests of our clients
Our clients—who range from entrepreneurs, real estate professionals and entertainers to established family offices for billionaires—have entrusted us with over $30 billion of assets. We see it as an honor and a privilege to advise such an incredible group of people and have always put their interests first.

We have a steadfast focus on the issues of importance to our clients, providing thoughtful, objective and transparent advice. Striving to be champions of our clients and their unique lives, our goal is to help them confidently navigate issues of today while creating a lasting legacy for tomorrow.
