Request an IntroductionWhat we offer
We start by discussing your specific situation, goals, and constraints. Our specialists then design a customized strategy according to your unique needs.
Maximize a Concentrated Equity Position or Liquidity Event
Whether you’ve held a winning position as it’s grown or you’re a founder approaching a liquidity event, a significant portion of your wealth is tied to the decisions you make. A large single stock position creates tension: diversifying makes sense on paper, but selling can come with a significant tax bill. We offer customized strategies designed to help reduce concentration in a tax-efficient manner, so you can diversify your portfolio while managing your capital gains exposure. We also work with founders to navigate additional financial planning considerations surrounding a business transaction.
Transition Appreciated Real Estate
Managing appreciated real estate is rarely straightforward. Our team works with clients to structure tax-efficient approaches to real estate transitions, helping to preserve long-term wealth while mitigating the tax consequences of a sale or exchange.
Efficiently Transfer Wealth
Preserving your legacy requires more than a standard estate plan. We offer flexible, sophisticated wealth transfer strategies—including structures such as Private Placement Life Insurance—tailored to each client’s goals for minimizing estate taxes and transferring wealth to the next generation.
Access Private Markets
For clients seeking potential returns and diversification beyond public equities and fixed income, we offer access to a private markets platform—including direct investment opportunities. We leverage our scale to source opportunities, seek to negotiate favorable terms, and structure private markets exposure as a standalone solution or alongside your existing investment program.
