Managing Wealth Can Be Complex
Let Us Guide You Along the Way

An alternative investment is a financial asset that does not fit into the conventional equity/debt/cash categories. Private equity or venture capital, hedge funds, real property, commodities, private credit, and tangible assets are all examples of alternative investments. Alternative investments are no longer the sole domain of institutional investors. More and more individual and business investors are shifting to alternatives to boost returns, generate income, and provide diversification from traditional investments while being lowly correlated to equity markets. We have experience and are well-equipped to meet your needs on this journey from providing access to quality opportunities through researching and modeling to providing you with a whole portfolio view so you understand the impact.

A customized portfolio strategy is where we use additional asset classes and portfolio construction techniques than is typical in our core asset allocation portfolio strategy. Our approach is first to identify and exploit specific types of opportunities, then build proprietary investment strategies around these areas of experience and focus. This is performed in-house and our proprietary strategies range from Aggressive to Defensive; while allowing for customization for unique circumstances that our clients face, including diversification and liquidity concerns. As long-term investors, our journey has taken us through multiple market cycles, and will revise your portfolio over time to adjust as market conditions change, while continuing to engage with you to ascertain your latest goals and circumstances.

Our TAMP for advisors is a comprehensive one-stop solution for asset management. From identifying the right investment managers for each client to conducting due diligence and monitoring performance, our solution combines investment and business data analysis, modeling, and projections. We have the capabilities to facilitate front-office and back-office aspects of financial advising (including acting as a middleman between the advisor and custodians and/or brokerage platforms), processing and digitizing paperwork, facilitating trades and investment changes, conducting all billing and reporting, and providing dashboards and portals.

Performing client-specific research in the equity, fixed income, currency, and commodities arenas is the focus of our in-house team. These dedicated research analysts analyze macro, sector, and company fundamentals to identify investment opportunities to produce conclusions where time to market is of the essence.

Delivering a seamless wealth experience to clients requires a reporting suite that consolidates many types of data from multiple sources and allows for configurable reporting at multiple levels tailored to the unique needs of each client. We can seamlessly integrate accounts from multiple custodians, privately-held assets including businesses and real estate, private equity and debt structures, and other alternative assets into your customized report.

Enabling advisors to focus on meeting the needs of clients requires a single, integrated management solution that optimizes business operations across the trading life cycle. We satisfy these front-to-back needs by executing trades, tracking portfolios, and meeting compliance and operational requirements efficiently and in real-time. This includes all asset classes, complete electronic trading, real-time positions, post-trade processing, and integrated compliance tools.

Wealthy investors typically have intricate financial profiles with multiple income sources and varied investments. An advisor’s value cannot be confined to investment acumen. Capable advisors can excel at addressing basic financial needs, excellent practitioners have a knack for macro thinking and align with equally skilled professionals to foster robust growth and anticipatory risk management. Wealth is multifaceted and so is protecting that wealth. Investing can be like juggling and the same can be said of estate planning, of charting insurance strategies, and of executing charitable priorities. We have created a place where we can claim being “well-beyond proficient” at each of those undertakings and where collaboration can develop and handle big, interwoven strategic issues as deftly as when dealing with smaller but not less important nuts-and-bolts tasks.

There are many retirement plan programs that provide tax advantages to both employers and employees. Most private-sector retirement vehicles are either Defined Contribution plans, Defined Benefit plans, or Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs). These are complex financial instruments requiring specialized expertise to help you understand, develop, and maintain a plan that meets your needs and supports plan participants in making their decisions about saving for retirement. We provide comprehensive retirement plan services and work on behalf of plan sponsors, their participants, and their beneficiaries in an independent, objective, and unbiased way to drive superior retirement plan outcomes.

Clients judge an advisor on both investment performance and client experience, with increasing importance on the latter. To provide a positive, customized client experience, we focus on:

1. Timeliness, accuracy, and quality of reporting, information, and data;
2. Resolving issues quickly and thoroughly;
3. Proactively sharing data and information;
4. Ease of accessibility to information and data;
5. Clarity in the explanation of portfolios, products, and processes;
6. Articulation of points of differentiation;
7. Learning about and showing that we know you and/or your business;
8. Fee structure transparency.

We call this our “whole-firm approach”. It is our culture and permeates everything that we do.
