Our Approach

Four services. One integrated plan.

We do not sell products. We do not collect commissions. We are paid a single, transparent advisory fee — and our work is judged by the document it produces.

I.

Wealth Planning

A comprehensive plan that integrates investment, tax, estate, insurance, and cash-flow strategy into a single document — refreshed annually.

  • Goals-based financial planning
  • Retirement and lifestyle modeling
  • Education and intergenerational gifting
  • Insurance and risk review
  • Charitable and impact planning

II.

Portfolio Management

Discretionary investment management built around your written Investment Policy Statement — typically global, multi-asset, and tax-aware.

  • Investment Policy drafted in writing
  • Direct indexing for taxable accounts
  • Low-cost institutional vehicles
  • Quarterly rebalancing with tax overlay
  • Concentrated stock and option strategies

III.

Tax Strategy

In-house tax counsel, working alongside your CPA, to identify and execute strategies that show up in your return — not your statement.

  • Tax-loss and gain harvesting
  • Roth conversion sequencing
  • QSBS and §1202 planning
  • Charitable bunching and DAFs
  • Multi-year withdrawal modeling

IV.

Family Office Services

For families holding $25M+, a coordinated platform of investment, administrative, and governance services that grow with the family.

  • Consolidated reporting across custodians
  • Trust and entity oversight
  • Private market access and due diligence
  • Family education and next-generation programs
  • Coordination with attorneys and CPAs

The Cadence

A process measured in years, not quarters.

01

Discovery

One unhurried meeting to understand your circumstances and ambitions. No deliverables, no obligation, no fee.

02

Diagnosis

Within two weeks: a written diagnostic of your current portfolio and plan, with two or three areas of priority.

03

Engagement

A simple, documented engagement letter. Fees disclosed. Investment Policy drafted and approved.

04

Stewardship

Quarterly reviews. An annual planning meeting. A direct line to your advisor between them.

On Fees

A single, declining-scale advisory fee. Nothing else.

Our advisory fee begins at 0.95% on the first $5M of assets and declines to 0.35% above $25M. There are no transaction fees, no proprietary fund expenses, no hidden compensation.

Our typical client pays an all-in cost — advisory, custody, and underlying investment expenses combined — of less than 1.05% per year. We will quote your exact rate at the first meeting.
