How transparency and conflict-free investment management earned trust
Client challenge
Our client was starting a multi-family office from the ground up. The principals of the family office were CPAs and attorneys who look to outsource the investment approach offered the flexibility for them to control the asset allocation and investment selection processes. Transparency of advice and pricing were two critical priorities.
Our strategy
By exploring our client’s vision for the business and his past experiences working with large bank platforms, we learned very quickly that he was somewhat suspicious of most advisors and their firm’s approach to recommending money managers and products.
Our approach afforded the principals of the multi-family direct access to thought leaders inside and outside of UBS, as well as direct access to money managers— a level of transparency they value, which helped increase their credibility and earn trust with clients.

In providing wealth management services to clients, we offer both investment advisory and brokerage services which are separate and distinct and differ in material ways.

How our network of UBS experts helped us maximize the benefits of a multibillion-dollar liquidity event
Client challenge
Our client, a referral form a very satisfied private equity client, was in the early stages of planning the sale of his closely held business—a multibillion-dollar liquidity event—and launching his own family office from the ground up. When we were introduced, we were the 12th investment manager added to the interview process, and the only firm with no prior history with this client.
The strategy
To educate him about UBS, we connected him with a roundtable of UBS leadership from Wealth Management Americas, the Investment Bank, the firm’s Chief Investment Office. This experience differentiated UBS and our team, helping to inform his decision to choose us as one of the four firms he would select from the original 12.
We worked extremely hard to demonstrate our commitment to adding value in our relationships. The client still recounts the early advice he received from our head of the Global Family Office about keeping his personal and business assets separate as he built his family office and set the path toward his next entrepreneurial endeavors.

How we guided three generations through loss and financial transition
Client challenge
After the death of its patriarch, a financial services executive, a family was overwhelmed by the complex revocable trust and investments he managed. The family and the executor needed new leadership with strong investment acumen, estate planning experience and an understanding of the needs of the surviving spouse and the next generation. Unfortunately, the executor of the estate did not have the time, resources or emotional sensitivity to address this complicated transition.

How lending built a bridge to a strategic equity relationship
Client challenge
An old friend and senior executive at a major private equity firm was interested in gaining access to market a new fund on the UBS platform. In that meeting, a request was made to see if UBS would be interested in lending to him and other colleagues to provide liquidity on their mandatory “side-by-side” investments into their own funds. This was a unique situation because banks do not generally lend against illiquid assets.
Our strategy
This opportunity was not just about lending, but about how lending could build a larger and more meaningful relationship.
This relationship enabled the Private Equity firm to add a new, meaningful connection to its short list of preferred banks. Our relationship has provided the client with key client status within any area of UBS it engages. The private equity firm is also able to receive attractive terms on a variety of banking products and services.

How hedging a concentrated equity position delivered confidence
Client challenge
Our client, a senior executive at a major public company, had nearly 80 percent of his wealth in company stock. He was planning to exit the firm, taking his significant equity holdings with him. While our team already managed the liquid portion of his assets, he came to us seeking guidance and a solution for mitigating the risk to his concentrated stock during the blackout period after his departure, but before he could sell it.
Our strategy
Our solution met our client’s financial objective, but also offered a greater benefit—comfort and confidence. It gave our client the assurance he needed to transition to his new company and fully engage in his new role.

How estate planning strategies delivered with compassion strengthened a lifelong relationship
Client challenge
We had a longstanding relationship with our client’s entire family, though worked primarily with the husband. He generally kept the family finances close to the vest, so when he passed away, we sat down with the rest of the family and walked them through their current financial picture. Working closely with our internal trust and estate consultant and the family’s accountant and attorney, we helped them understand and address estate planning issues and their future needs.
Our strategy
Our concern, attentiveness and high level of service ultimately led to a consolidation of all assets at UBS. We were then able to construct a new portfolio that was representative of the wife’s liquidity and income needs and her intended legacy for her children. More importantly, we were able to demonstrate our deep commitment to this relationship and build trust simply being there for our clients when we’re needed most.
