Experience. Independence. Service.

Private Wealth Management

Many advisory teams attempt to be all things to all people. Our mission, however, is to provide a select group of investors with the independent thinking and exceptional service that significant wealth demands.

From our five locations in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, Wise River Advisors provides comprehensive wealth management and investing solutions to ultra-affluent individuals and families, partnerships, endowments and foundations. Throughout our 23 years as a team, we have developed a sophisticated and comprehensive investment process that seeks to provide our clients with attractive after-tax, inflation-adjusted returns over time while minimizing risk.

Our commitment  to family offices

In addition to our team's comprehensive investment and planning expertise, Mark Binder, Craig Chiate, Glenn Oratz and Scott Brown are among a select group of Private Wealth Advisors (PWAs) who have earned the Family Office Consultant business designation. They have demonstrated the knowledge and proficiency to help manage the investment, business, passion and legacy needs of sophisticated, ultra-high net worth (UHNW) clients and their families. Understanding the complexities of intergenerational wealth and the challenges their clients face, Mark, Craig, Glenn and Scott, as PWAs and FOCs, align specific needs to the full suite of UBS capabilities, including the highly bespoke solutions and collaboration from our Family Office Solutions Group.

Defining your priorities. Pursuing what matters.

Our experience and structured planning process drives a comprehensive financial plan and customized investment strategies. Depending on where you are in your life and the priorities that matter most, our planning conversations may focus on liquidity management, your cash flow needs, asset replacement solutions such as insurance, estate planning strategies, or tax and legal structures such as trusts and philanthropic vehicles.

Preparing your business

Though many business owners have an idea about what their future may hold, few have developed a plan. The earlier you start to plan your transition strategy, the better the outcome will be, even if it is many years in the future.

We can provide you with a plan of action for how best to sell it, helping you think through important questions such as:

  • What are your desired financial objectives?
  • Is there a strong management structure and succession plan?
  • Do you have a realistic picture of the net after-tax sale proceeds to help determine the most advantageous way to structure the sale for tax purposes?
  • Are there activities you and your team can accomplish in the near term to maximize the value of your business before sale?
  • Do you have a good understanding of how your company is currently valued within your industry?
  • Do you have a comprehensive risk management assessment for the business?
  • If it’s a family business, have you come to an understanding with the next generation on roles and responsibilities?
