THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE DO

We are able to engage with families in a variety of ways.  The most prevalent way is for a family to hire us as their financial advisor.  For this comprehensive and ongoing service there is a flat cost, incurred quarterly. 

Sometimes, though, a family already has a long-standing advisory relationship and just wants a qualified second opinion for peace of mind that they are on the right track.  We are able to provide this second opinion in several key areas:

Financial Planning
Analysis of Current Investment Costs
Analysis of Current Asset Allocation
Investment Consulting on Current Portfolio
Transition Readiness Analysis (this is done in collaboration with the family's attorney and CPA)

Additionally, we are able to build out, and provide ongoing maintenance to, a secure cloud-based portal for a family's most important documents.  The ability to access documents from anywhere in the world while maintaining safety-deposit-box-like security is a must for today's global family.

Costs of engagement for the above services vary.  Please contact us for a complete list.
